Thank you for the information, it gear worked perfectly before i ntoticed oil leakage underneath
lyort:


if the gear works properly before the disassembly, i don't think there should be a problem with the converter except if he wants to replace it due to dirty transmission oil already living inside the converter which can contaminate the new oil. but if he has to reuse it he should ensure the sleeve of the support shaft that goes into the oil pump/gearbox is smooth or shiny silver and not brown (like its burnt due to overheating)

And how did he diagnose that your converter and pump was bad if it drove fine?
The issue was just probably your oil seal and nothing else.

You gave your car to clowns. The problem was never those things they tried doing. The problem is with your throttle position sensor (TPS) which is on your throttle body aka injector mouth.

Why did they grind your valves?

Hello bosses. Please my Toyota Camry 08 v6 idles very high at around 2000. It goes back to 1000 whenever i get engage gear. Took it to a mechanic in Auchi and he said my throttle body is faulty, don't know if I get the name right (the thing be like a cylinder like this with a butterfly -like metal inside it) He said I need to change it which I did immediately as i would be travelling to Kaduna the next day. Took the vehicle to Kaduna the next day and I noticed the problem is still there. Last week, I took the vehicle to a new mechanic in panteka, Kaduna,he scanned the car and still complained about the throttle body. This time around,it will stay at 1000 at idle but will suddenly move up to like 2000 after a minute or so. He said I'll have to change it again. I was so concerned when he started to rub one thing like paint inside the throttle Body say it will not allow it to raised suddenly again. I'm not so comfortable with that approach Please I need your advice
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by 2shure: 10:44am On Jun 19
Sell it as accident free,itd already a scrap car

Ignore that troll.
Scan the car and post codes. I'm looking at a vacuum leak, a throttle body malfunction or an ECM issue.

I believe you love this car, its why I'm amazed you had the confidence to touch your gear lever when your idle rpm is as high as 2000, a very careless move.

Replace fuel pump ASSY.
Your fuel pressure regulator valve is either bad or the fuel casing rubber seal holding the fuel pump is absent
Thank you so much, this worked well!

Pressure relase valve inside the fuel pump might be bad.
The scan code did you work on the engine if no,the code wont stop it from starting ones.

My Peugeot 406 is consuming lots of Fuel. I spend about 16k or 18k every three days on fuel for a distance that is not up to 1km - just city drive work and school runs only. I used to use 10 - 12L for one week, but now it's about 20L every three to four days. What could be the issue? The last time I scanned it (three weeks ago), I was told and shown that there were no permanent error codes and the temporary ones wiped immediately they were cleared. But, this high fuel consumption continued. My catalyst is also intact.
Please, help a brother!

Why did you clear the temporary codes without noting them down?

My mechanic concluded that No: 2&3 valve are nt firing,afte replacing those plugs & nozzles,
Reason! Because the motor is steaming as if some plugs are malfunctioning,REMENBER,IT CAN ONLY STEAM,WHEN UR LEGS HOLD THE PEDAL, IF U REMOVE UR LEGS GRADUALLY THE ENGINE IL BE DROPPING TIL IT OFF.
NOW AFTER THE TOP & VALVE MAINTENANCE, THE FIRING IS GOOD, BT IT DOES NT STEAM, IT STEAM JUST A LITTLE & FINALLY ENGINE IL OFF

Scan, then run a compression test on each of the cylinders to know which is the culprit.
