larrixauto2017:I just stumble to this page and very happy to discover your great insight and help you render in this forum. Kudos to you. My Mazda 626 (2000) is having this issue of not steaming normal when you start the car. Immediately you start the car and remove your leg from the throttle, it will just go off. What may be the cause? |

Since you have replace the oil, you car is not in danger anymore, you just need to reset the oil life to switch it off. Loujay: |

Good evening my Ogas in the house. Please sir's i urgently need a clarification on something as i am confused. Please, can CHECK MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT (Sorry if i dont get the real name) showing on my toyota corolla 06 model dashboard make it to consume my fuel too much? I have done everything possible to make this ligjt goes off but, yet, it still showing on... I approximately use 14litres of fuel for 3-4days before REFILL YOUR TANK lights come up on the dashboard.... 2. "Maintenance required" flash and off whenever i start my car, whereas i just changed the oil On Monday...Please sir's, is the fuel consumption okay or do i really need to do anything as soon as possible? Thanks as i await your responses |
Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by larrixauto2017(m): 4:35pm On Nov 02, 2019 |
PrinceFola:Hello sir... So many things can cause a chech engine light(malfunction indicator lamp) to come on... And also there is a problem on the car system that makes it consume fuel. Which are..... 1) I there is a bad catalytic converter or you no catalytic converter at all... 2) A bad oxygen sensor (Ho2sensor or lambda sensor).. Which may be bad. 3) A leaked exhaust can caused it sir... E.T.C When there is a fault in the car system... The check engine light(malfunction indicator lamp) will come on.. Which tells you that there is Somthing wrong.. With the car... The only wway to get the exact cause or problem is to take it down to the workshop for computerized scanning. After you scanned it. You can now post the result back to this thread for further information... Thanks.... I remain Shegzthecarguy.. |

Well good day. I have two questions for 2 different vehicles. The first is a 2006 Toyota Corolla (it was converted from RHD to LHD). At high speed the steering shakes, all checks show is the steering rack. My question is if I replace the entire steering rack hope it won't happen again? And is there any other issue I have not detected?. The second is a 2010 Kia Cerato, the brain box was recently replaced, but now it does not select gear. It's automatic by the way. I ran a scan and they say is a speed sensor. What's wrong with this car sir? Am thinking the brain box is bad. Thanks |

tojahh:. Hello sir. You said your car stall while driving/Accelerating A lot of things can cause your car too stall.. Like. 1. A bad fuel pump.. Or a block fuel pump filter or fuel line. 2. A clogged up injector...In which it may need a service or replace. 3. A bad ignition coil or spark plug... In which will be replaced.. E.T.C.. Yes sir to know the exact issue with the car you will need to run a computerized scan on it sir.. after running the scan you can also or the engneer in charge of the repair to take a physical troubleshoot. if you are in lagos you can come to our workshop.. Sir |

Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by ayo2008: 8:47pm On Jan 09, 2020 |
Hello sir, have issues with my Honda civic automatic 2003 model. I discover that the D light on the dashboard blinks and due to this whenever the car finds it difficult to accelerate on hilly place and taking off when there is need for me to stop seems difficult as u have to accelerate hard. Wnt to scan the car and the rewire man who is good too said from the readings, the TPS (Throttle position sensor) has gone bad. I just wondered if the reason for the D blinking was due to fault in TPS? Try reading on TPS online and its faulty symptoms but know saw D blinking as part of the D light blinking as part of the symptoms of faulty TPS . pls need advice |
