The first three speeds go through the fan resistor, which acts as a voltage regulator for lower fan speeds. The 4th speed goes direct to the fan. It's possible the switching mechanism is stuck at 4, which will undermine all other instructions. Start by pulling the main battery and retrying .

Pls my car Engine is dirty and dusty, I learnt somewhere on Nairaland that it's not good to wash car engine, and since then I've not washed it and been trying to see an alternative

Kindly help me with a better way of cleaning the engine.

Good day Gazzuzz and other car gurus.

I drive a corolla 2007 sport I bought last October. 
It's engine is heavily slugged cos the former owner was using the wrong oil grade.
So, in December, I flushed it with Liqui Moly and switched to mobil1 synthetic oil
The problem now is, the oil gets short persistently despite driving the car for just once a week, about a 100 km to and fro.

The car drives smoothly, doesn't smoke nor leaks.

What could be the problem sirs and kindly suggest solutions.

Many thanks.

If it's already heavily sludged, cleaning will only allow lighter weight oils leak/burn internally. I think going with the higher weight oil should be your route if you still want to continue using the engine though it will be for while. ;-)

GAZZUZZ:


rebuild or replace .

I have 3 solutions for u.

1. Check all boot seals (rubber that runs round) ensure its fittet well along the frame.
2.Get in the boot with a flash light and have some one hose the car down with water with ur flash light look for leaks

3.Check taillight seals or the trunk weatherstrip. Water might be flowing down the sheet metal.
Also check the seal on your antenna


The water doesn't have to drip into the boot and soak through. It can often run along the metal and run underneath the soundproofing and the carpet

Best of luck.

Maybe somebody is using a straw to suck your oil ..
If your oil is not leaking then its definately smoking.. My guess at higher RPM
Engine Oil don't just disappear.. Its either burnt(smoking) or leaking..

You have 3 choices, I will start from the cheapest.

- Go back to the "wrong oil".. Continue using till engine dies, its cheaper, top up engine oil as required..
- Try another oil brand..forget synthetic oil sir, your corolla does not even need it.. I know some engines that burn drink mobil 1 but sip other oil brands..hope you get get drift
-Rebuild or replace

peterpeteru:


Thanks a ton boss for your apt input.

Concerning the 3 choices sir,
1. By "till engine dies," hope it's not that it'd get knocked suddenly on the highway or would there be prior signs or warnings?
2. The wrong oil I meant was the sae40. I got the drift sir
3.

Should I be considering this 4th choice or would rebuilding permanently solve the problem and without sludge?
4. Sell off

thebigkendo:



Rebuilding if done by a competent techy will solve the problem.. But is it worth it? Price wise.. Competent techy don't come cheap...

If I was you.. I will go with option one.. And check my oil level every saturday morning..
Oil burning and sludge are not immediate death sentence as most people make it seems.. That same engine will go years.. As long as top up the oil when it gets low..

So when I said "till engine dies" I don't mean die from your oil problem .. So many other things might kill the engine, engines cannot run forever..

worse case to me is engine replacement, I will not consider selling my car because of "small" oil burn and I will not spend over 100k for a corolla engine rebuild

Fuel pump ASSY problem, ECU problem.

Have you worked on the pump before or replaced the ECU or the speedometer before?

If yes, reverse what was done.

Please i changed the transmission oil of Honda City 2007. But i notice the transmission would not shift to the 3rd and 4th gear, The rpm would rise as much as 5000 but the gear would not shift. at this stage i cant go beyond 60km/h. this happens sometimes most times if i want it to move very fast it would just mess me up.

What could be the problem with transmission?

Can this be resolved??
