Please my Lexus es300 sometimes finds it difficult to speed up once it slows down. Sometimes no matter how much you trottle down it may still be running at about 20km/hr, and would gradually pick up after sometime. I suspect the gear is not returning well. Please what could be wrong? Guzzuzz et al 1 Like |

cokegee: With the traffic in lagos this days... Do you always on your AC? ... Is the Engine light on? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ojeysky(m): 11:18am On Mar 12, 2020 |
cokegee: You can use 5k within few hours or even for a month, it won't determine if it consumes fuel. How many miles did it serve, what's your driving pattern, any fault codes on the car etc are factors that could help |

matuskyoo7: Depends on whether engine has sludge or not, synthetic blends have bleach that wash sludge down to the engine bottom blocking seals, valves and oil lubricant passage which can lead to engine failure. Better to stick with the normal mineral oil and change every 3months or 3000 km |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Lush100(m): 4:49pm On Mar 12, 2020 |
ok. but is there no way to at-least wash off the sludge and then continue using mineral oil and change every 3 months? nurey: |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by nurey(m): 5:42pm On Mar 12, 2020 |
Lush100: Depends on the level of sludge in the engine from zero sludge (safe to switch) to Medium sludge (removal by a mechanic) to Chronic sludge (dismantle engine remove sludge) The valve cover has to be removed to know What level of sludge available |

Good evening Gurus in the house, Please help a newbie. My Honda civic doesn’t accelerate smoothly. When i try to accelerate after a stop, it drags before moving. When its in motion also, i also notice it drags while changing gear. It was serviced recently and the gear oil changed with the attached. My mechanic says might be the fuel pump or nozzle.

KINGreignn: Hello bro, I am presently battling a P0505 (IACV) error code on my RAV4. I removed the initial throttle body, followed the cleaning routine for both the IACV and the throttle body but the cleaning did not solve the issue. I bought and installed another tokunbo entire throttle body about two months back but the code is still present. That's the only code I have on the ride when I scan it and I am so eager to get rid of it, because I suspect it's contributing to my fuel issue plus the erratic RPM shifts sometimes. Now I have two scenarios - 1. Could it be that the replacement unit is faulty? or 2. Is it possible that the code has been permanently stored on the ECU? Just so you know, I bought another ECU after I purchased the ride to solve the transmission issue and some other electrical faults. What do you think? Thank you. |
