themonk:you need check well that there is no leak cause there is many ways oil can get leaking from the engine and if there is still no evidence of leak you may be burning oil from worn engine which may be due to worn piston rings or best thing do a compression test |

AXYZ:The throttle bodies on your particular Corolla are susceptible to carbon build up. It can make the throttle plate stick. There are also reports that the throttle plate can warp causing high idle issues. Usually these problems make the idle stay high under all conditions. Other conditions that can cause high idle are vacuum leaks that allow more air into the motor. These can be intermittent problems, but not usually. Some areas to look are around the points that the intake manifold bolts to the head, EGR valve and EGR valve ports, broken vacuum hoses, and a failed brake vacuum booster. Other than a high idle that doesn’t drop to normal, the only problems that should be addressed sooner than later are vacuum leaks. Vacuum leaks can lead to other internal motor damages that will be much more expensive to fix. If the problem persists, you may want to have your high engine idle speed inspected by a professional technician to determine if any repairs are needed. |

1stNumeroUno:When you have an oil leak, and the leaking oil hits exhaust or other hot components, you will typically smell the oil burning before seeing smoke. You may also see blueish smoke coming from the exhaust while the motor is running. If you notice this when you are accelerating, it is likely that your piston rings are damaged. If the smoke comes out while you decelerate, the problem is commonly caused by valve guides in the cylinder heads that are damaged. Burning oil can lead to serious issues, including engine failure. If you notice a problem with your vehicle, get it checked out right away before the problem gets worse. 1 Like |

AXYZ: I don't think anything is wrong with our car.. Where does the engine RPM stay when the engine is hot & car has bn driven for some time? Let's say 1 hour? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:20am On Sep 25, 2018 |
emmaak2: For ancestors like this, clean out the throttle body. |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 10:34am On Sep 25, 2018 |
thebigkendo: possible scenario. Thermostat removed, and fans direct. Temp Below. 60deg celcius. Engine ecu trys to compensate for cold engine by raising rpm. But what do I know? 1 Like |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by thebigkendo(m): 12:04pm On Sep 25, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ: Yeah that's Possible, reason why i asked Where does the engine RPM stay when the engine is hot & car has been driven for some time? Let's say 1 hour? But even with Fan direct and thermostat deleted, engine temperature will still get to around 80 - 88 deg Cel, will just take longer and ECU will throw a P0128 |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by GAZZUZZ(m): 12:13pm On Sep 25, 2018 |
thebigkendo: I have seen an accord sit in 62deg celcius under hot sun inside traffic for hours |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by thebigkendo(m): 1:15pm On Sep 25, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ: Hahahaha Village people .. Maybe double cell radiator, wrong fan installed. Talking about Accord cooling system, You get any ECT2 sensor weh you no dey use? Last weekend i noticed my cooling fan ran continuously throughout my over 2 hours commute . Coolant temp was 86 - 88deg Cel with a P0128 code... -When i get home, i checked all related relays. -Noticed fan comes on at 86deg celsius and doesn't go off until i put off the engine -Fan also runs when key is at ON position -Though maybe my ECT sensor was stuck at 88 deg, so i disconnected fans and idled, ECT temp got to 96Deg before i connected the fan back. -Disconnected ECT2, voila!!! everything back to normal, Fan starts at 95deg and go off as usual , So now i am driving around with P2185 Engine Coolant Temp Sensor 2 Circuit high |

CarMecx:Thanks alot bro. I'll do all you have said. I'm servicing the car tommorrow so I'll tell the mechanic to help me check well. How do I know if the piston rings is the problem? And is it advisable to change the engine totally or replacell the piston rings if that's the issue. Also please what's a compression test? BTW when I bought the car, the engine looked very new water was coming out of the exhaust pipe sef and it's not been up to 2 months. So sad |
