Does the vehicle drive better now?

donuba61:

Yes but we have not done the welding. He said the issue might occur again as the valve is already weak.

AutoMoTech:


Sincere apologies sir but I do not know how they convert a PS system to manual.
However my advice is why not consider replacing the P/S rack with a good working one probably used considering cost?
because i have seen situations where mechanics will promise you heaven on earth. In the end sir na your money dey burn nob hin own. Also consult another mechanic pls...

AutoMoTech:

Ah ah hanty... You are vexing o
Anyways most peeps dnt know how to fix that oil leak this is why its difficult suggesting a fix cuz if he meets a quack/cut neck Mechanic dey will just chop his head and build house on top ordinary steering rack. Reason i suggested replacement with a good toks unit

Jean2:


Thank you very much sir. I found out it was just a gimmick to get the car to a mechanic workshop and exploit me. I found out he is not even a mechanic, just parts seller like the person that referred me to him!

Jean2:


God bless you sir.
Can you help with the fix please?

Jean2:


God bless you sir.
Can you help with the fix please?

I'm going to tell you one last time. GET. YOUR. CAR. TO. A. REPUTABLE. SHOP.

it doesn't have to be mine. Just ask NLers for recommendations.

Jean2:


I asked @AutoMoTech...

... reason for putting the question forward is simply to avoid a likely "known-for" (or if you like "part-&-parcel" ) problem that some car owners allow their car to live with.

This discussion may interest you: https://community.cartalk.com/t/conversion-form-power-steering-to-manual-steering/107919

I just thought it wise to get as much knowledge as possible before choosing between
1. Repair/improvising follow come
2. Buying toks to replace.

And
... I have used the services of some "reputable" Mechanics who failed to deliver at times.

Thank you very much to all contributors!

Can a bad air flow sensor cause as increase in fuel consumption, please I need urgent reply am spending two much on fuel recently please help

Areaboy2:


not an answer bro but just curious how you reached your question?. It seems very direct, like you have eliminated all other causes of increased consumption. Even bad tires dey increase consumption.

nonhuman:
sorry bro I did not eliminate all other possibilities but I have checked through mechanics and other experts they said ather things bthat could cause that are all in good condition and the only thing left is the air flow sensor, that when you unplug the sensor from the engine the engine is suppose to stop but in my case that engine continues to work, which shows that the air flow sensor is bad also find it difficult to accelerate properly after few minutes on the road

nemadfsyahooc:
Car vibrates when in traffic or standstill but runs smoothly when in motion. vibration reduces when i shifts gear to park or neutral even when in traffic standstill. Camry 2008 4cylinder. No check engine on.

oseluck:
Good evening.
I just changed my corolla engine, the new engine is perfect and works amazingly well.
However, i expected the check engine light to be off after the change, but the check engine light is still on.
Could something be wrong? Does having the light on has a negative effect on the car?..

Kindly advice.

Thanks.

Your compressor has been converted to manual. Clean throttle body and remove battery terminal so the system relearns new idle with load..

scan the vehicle. Oxygen sensors and evap system do not come with a replacement engine



apply due diligence.08064494779



Yes it can

Areaboy2:

okay. understood.

However, a bad mass air flow (MAF) sensor should throw out an error code. Check engine light dey on? if yes, have the vehicle scanned and you may find the real culprit.
Depending on the car make and year, a dead MAF sensor does not necessarily translate to dead engine. sometimes it may still run but run poorly and accelerate poorly too.
what year and make is this car? when the MAF sensor is disconnected, can you confirm it makes absolutely no difference to the engine idle speed?

the poor acceleration you mentioned, is this when the MAF sensor is disconnected or just every other day?

UcLloyd:


Please explain my error codes. I've been waiting for your reply

nonhuman:
The check engine light is not on.
Also if the MAF sensor is removed the car does not show any sign except when you trottle.
The poor acelaration occurs with the MAF intact.
It's a Hyundai Tucson 2008
