GAZZUZZ:


Vehicle mileage is 102,657. It's very close.

thebigkendo:


Bros lets be factual, Mileage matters.. Is not the most important factor to me but it counts, abi you go buy car with over 300k miles for the same price with which you can get one with less than 200k miles?

kingreign:
wo woo woss woo bekiafu!

You wan make Kingreign recommend motor with high mileage and 2 months down the line engine kaput and owner gbab kingreign?
Enemy of progress spotted

thebigkendo:


lol 380000km or 380000 miles. If its KM , i can do 380000km (236121miles) but definitely not at that price

kingreign:

380k Km miles

EgunMogaji:


Gazzuzz, this is an assumption. I think.

You are never sure if the engine has been replaced at some point, or have had work done or by whom. We have Kazeems here too.

GAZZUZZ:


uncle, it's a 2gr-fe extremely reliable engine. I do not see how oyinbo would have killed the engine that quick.

Inception:




That is like circumnavigating the earth over 9 1/2 times!

BTW it is in km not miles. ( the speedometer of km(white) is the dominant one from the pics)

GAZZUZZ:
engine is fresh, sharp and has all my requirements, no nigerian arrangement.

Paid and I'm leaving with this one. Iv always wondered how 2guys get to carry this engine?

From my states motor vehicle website https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/?1dmy&urile=wcm:path:/dmv_content_en/dmv/pubs/brochures/reg/odometer

"Odometer Mileage Reporting

Odometer Mileage Readings
Legislation requires that the department collect and validate the odometer mileage reading for most motor vehicles upon initial registration and registered owner transfers in compliance with the Federal Truth in Mileage Act of 1986.

Reporting of the odometer mileage reading assists in the detection of odometer tampering. The collection of this information provides consumers with an accurate record of the mileage affecting the retail value of the vehicle.

When Do I Report Odometer Mileage Readings?
Odometer mileage readings are encouraged for all motor vehicles, but are mandatory when:

you initially register a motor vehicle or transfer ownership, and
the vehicle is less than 10 years old.

Are There Any Exceptions To This Requirement?
Yes. Reporting the odometer mileage reading is encouraged, but not mandatory if:

the vehicle is 10 years old or older,
the vehicle is a commercial vehicle with unladen weight of more than 8,500 lbs (more than 16,000 lbs gross vehicle weight),
the vehicle is sold directly by a manufacturer to any agency of the United States, or
the vehicle is a new vehicle transferred prior to first retail sale by a dealer."

chukel:
I didn't say it doesn't matter. I said Nigerians are obsessed with it. Most don't any idea of what to check out when buying a car other than mileage. How else do you explain frantic search for 03 camry and cars below that age with mileage less than 100k.

GAZZUZZ:
ABS and VSC lights ON, vehicle scanned, ABS wheel speed sensor on front right wheel has issues.

The vehicle will require serious detailing. www.nairaland.com/attachments/5724798_img20170727132136_jpegc177e0d49188e70845029c0a4890513c

Closed for the day, going with the car for an extended test drive.

Testing stability at high speeds, transmission shifts, and how it performs in traffic conditions.

The check light came up while driving will scan it tomorrow.

So far so good.

As usual 2 origins to make the day happy

I have not updated this thread for 2days because I have been nursing a small burden.

The burden was P0011: P0011 - "A" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)

This code came up about 30mins into test drive.

Symptoms I was getting

Random multiple misfire (intermittently)

A/C shutting off

High idle speed

Incorrect gear shifts.

And the usual check engine light.



Possible causes of this code include the following.

Incorrect camshaft timing Wiring problems (harness/wiring) in intake timing control valve control solenoid system Continuous oil flow to VCT piston chamber Failed timing valve control solenoid (stuck open)


I also read the toyota TSB for the code which I will try to attach here.

So first thing I did was assume it was a glitch, clear code and go for another test drive.

Code came back roughly 30mins into drive again, and it shut down the compressor with it.

[s]You know the feeling you get after collecting plenty money from an Igbo woman and being unable to deliver [/s]

Ok time to trouble shoot.

Starting from easy to hard.

Swapped out the crank position sensor, sadly toyota placed it behind the a/c compressor so I had to discharge refrigerant and take down the radiator and condenser to access the crank shaft properly.

Also replaced the harness because it was looking bad.

Went for a test drive, midway code came back.

Next went to bank1 and swapped out the cam sensor and 2 OCV solenoids, and inspected the OCV filter. OCV filter was clean as a whistle (as expected)

Went for a test drive and same thing

Frustrated I abandoned the car and channeled my frustration into other routine jobs that required less reasoning.

This evening 7pm I assembled the bois and told them to take off the intake manifold one more time (it had become a ritual now)

Studied the harness connecting the two OCV solenoids on Bank 1, and I noticed they had been interchanged!!

Well no weekend tips for the bois Re-assembled vehicle, went for a test drive, drive was smooth and code never came back after about 50miles of driving.

Replaced the abs sensor and wheel bearings in front.

Sorry no pics for now, was not in a happy mood to take pics

We are moving to aesthetics now so there will be lots of pictures.

For now powertrain, suspension air conditioning are good to go.

GAZZUZZ:
as at this evening only flashing light is TPMS, I scanned the yeye thing and it's giving me no error codes, but illuminating on cluster. I will leave this for tolu to handle.
