Hi Gazzuzz....

1. Please I need your help in getting the right rear wheel hub for a Ford Mondeo 2004. I have been unable to get it so far.

2. My car shifts gear perfectly when on a flat road or downhill but gear shifting and power lose occurs when climbing hills. What could be the cause please? Could it be low fuel pressure?

lymelyte:
lol.. it is a servlet. It is what I could get on my hand at that time . That's the color of my transmission oil.

GAZZUZZ:


don't mind that boi, I have been observing him

Jagermeister:


I'm aware bro. I once owned the somewhat older 3 litre V6 of the same model.

I believe yours is the 2004-2006 model. I love the car to pieces.

GAZZUZZ:


Cam shaft position sensor.

A scan will show you nothing.

GAZZUZZ:


very easy, location is at the back of the engine near the fire wall. Car should have issues starting in the morning especially on a cold day.

Coolant temp sensor check if connections are firm, if firm replace sensor. If you cannot get 1, come over and get 1 for free.

geezonaire1415:




please whats the next step to take or what action do i tell the mechanic to carry out?

GAZZUZZ:


It will work, but Sadly the gear shifts will not be as usual, there will be a lot of abnormal movement.

My suggestion, sell car as it is, and get another vehicle.

Good Afternoon Sir Gazzuzz

My 03 accord has an issue that my Mechanic has not been able to solve:
The car vibrates a lot when it's idle, especially when gear is engaged. It doesn't vibrate if I shift gear to park.

The car breathes hard at take-off but the breathing gets normal after take off. The gear shifts well and car doesn't vibrate on motion.

The car idles @ 1200 rpm at first start of the day, the rpm goes down to 800 after 4 minutes. It drives very rough if I engage the gear @ 1200rpm (had to idle for 4 mins @ first start to enjoy a smooth ride)

I have changed spark plugs and engine seats but no visible improvement.

Please help

Good day GAZZUZZ, still on my Camry gearbox matter. After scanning the car, it still showed only P0748. It was interpreted as Solonoid A being bad or short-circuited. My mechanic suggested changing the gearbox valve body (which carries the solonoids) and that my gearbox should be fine. A few other mechanics are still advising i just buy a new gearbox and forget changing the solonoid.
The thing is that, I can't sell the car (as u suggested) cos the offers been made are so ridiculous. I also can't afford gearbox (750k). But I can raise the cash for the valve body(and solonoids).
In your opinion and from your experiences, had there been successes with repairing a gearbox having similar problem like mine?
Thank you.

b2212:


thanks a billion. will check when i get home and let you know.

meanwhile how many litres of engine oil should i use. i suspect i overfilled using 5 litres of 5w 30.

GAZZUZZ:


and it is a 3cylinder tricycle?

Controlv:


Its Honda Accord 2003. 4 Cylinders

Pls help.

GAZZUZZ:


possible misfire caused by

Sparkplugs
Low fuel pressure
Dirty injectors

Also possible...,..

Damaged engine mountain front (radiator) and rear (exhaust side)

krisrock:

That is not the EGR valve, it's actually the EGR Vacuum Modulator. The one beside it is the EGR valve. The pipe blocked with the broom should go to the vacuum switch valve(vsv) which Toyota hid under the car(you go sweat to lose am if e don spoil) and another pipe should go from the vsv to the EGR valve. I have a 1997 Camry and me and Oga gazzuzz had to relocate the position of the vsv to some place more reachable. If connected properly you should see improvements in your gas mileage . I sha know it's all part of the breathing system of the car sha. Maybe oga gazzuzz fit help expatiate. My car has the P0401 code which I believe yours will have too and your check engine light should be on. I and Oga gazzuzz have tested the EGR valve and it works fine, changed vsv but yet to change that modulator which I hope will be the culprit of my check engine light

Sir, good evening.

Please sir, kindly advise me because this will be the first ride I am planning to buy. My desired specs are: 3 row seater, 2005 upwards, clean & sound Nigerian used, with 800k - 1million budget.

Also, I got this offer but wanted to confirm from you too. The car is a 2006 model Nissan Pathfinder. It would later develop some engine problems and the owner decided to change it. He said that because he could not afford the 4.0ltr 2006 engine, (claimed it cost almost 500k), he now replaced it with a 3.0ltr 2002 engine. Now he wants to sell it to me.

Now my arguments are:
1. Will the smaller engine be able to pull and power the bogus car?
2. If yes,will there be any side effects in the future arising from the use of the smaller engine size?

Your expert advise will go a long way in helping me sort this out please.

Please I have a Toyota Corolla 2009, I notice that the car engine go off or jack for sometime before going off each time I put on the AC in traffic or while parking... I spoke with my mechanic he suggested that the timing is not correct which he try to adjust but still didnt correct the issue.. I went to scan the car and the code P0420 was detected..
During the fixing by my local mechanic he said he noticed that the low ram have been worked on before (that is welded somehow). Before this time I have paid him for timing chain and adjuster which he collected huge amount for, right now I'm just pissed and angry even with everyone around me because of the frustration..
Please can anyone help my condition and suggest what can be done...

please note that the problem doesn't occur when the car is moving, it only happen when stagnat or in slow traffic

Thanks

GAZZUZZ:

GAZZUZZ:

Disconnect socket of engine ecu then reinstall properly

Disconnect socket of gearbox then reinstall.
