There is this Honda baby boy 2000, drives very well, engine too sound, but the gear shifts roughly because delays before it changes, especially between 1 & 2.

Is it something that is easily fixed?

Gazzuzz you are really doing a great job and very educated in auto repairs. I need your expert advice on my car.
It's a Toyota Avensis verso 2002, I have changed all sensors to brand new and also changed CAT.
My fuel trims are perfect and fuel consumption good. After changing sensors and CAT I have a trouble code on the new CAT P0420/ 0430 and I believe this is as a result of raw unburned fuel getting into the CAT. I have performance issue in terms of engine power loss or to put it clearly my car is not running its full performance speed for a 2.0L engine.

I am suspecting my injector, probably a stuck open injector that over supplies fuel. My other car starts at once but this Avensis needs some more seconds during cranking to start. I have the Toyota techstream hooked up but I need your advice on how to troubleshoot properly all my injectors to know which particular injector is the culprit or at least to eliminate the injector as my car's problem. I have no white smoke from the tail pipe, and also the injectors/injector rail are so difficult to get to as the manifold is inwards the engine and not outwards.

I have no misfires trouble codes, how can I get this car to move very fast and smartly. I feel so discouraged taking it on any family long trips.
I wouldn't mind changing the CAT again but I want to solve the problem destroying the CAT. When I checked the CAT information on the Toyota techstream I can see that the CAT DTC code freeze frame data only exceeded its threshold by little above 1 point. Normal Threshold should be like 4.6 and I have like 6.

GAZZUZZ:

never heard of it.

seunoj:

sorry na typo, I mean S60

mikylon:
Oga Gazzuzz , I salute your sagacity and tenacity in solving auto issues.
I use an acura mdx 2010 , each time I rev up (i.e push on the gas pedal) I hear this metallic grinding sound that looks to be coming from either the engine or mid section of the car.
whenever this happens, I would have to reduce my speed and the way I push on the gas pedal then the metallic grinding sound disappears.
I also have cylinder misfire codes P0301/302/303/304 and check emission system active.
kindly help out hear.

GAZZUZZ:


Im quite confused.

1. Where did you find O2 sensors for a 2002 verso brand new? Lets assume amazon.

2. Where did you get catalytic converter for a 2002 verso brand new? Lets assume amazon

3.How were you left with a catalytic converter code after replacing catalyst?

4. How did you get a P0430 code on an engine with just 1 bank?

olaboy1:


The sensors were bought from Toyota company original, and the CAT was a working used one because I didn't pass inspection with the old CAT but passed immediately I fixed the used CAT. But few days after I passed inspection I got the CAT code. The engine has 2 banks (2 upstream and 2 downstream) pix attached.

GAZZUZZ:


does vehicle attain these values within 15mins from stone cold startup?

jonpuff:
Mr gazzuzz, pls I use Toyota Camry 1998, and I found out that this rubber or hose or pipe in the pictures attached is broken. Pls what's the name of the rubber, how much will I get it replaced and what negative effect will it do to my car if I don't change it.
