Hello gurus! I have a 2002 V6 Toyota Highlander limited edition and I think it consumes fuel.. a full tank takes me about 280 miles then the reserve light illuminates. Pls is the fuel consumption normal? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by frebor(m): 6:30pm On Mar 16, 2020 |
eightsin: Assuming you did a mix of city and highway driving to get 280 miles and your tank took up to 70L on your next refill, 15mpg is short of the rated 18mpg. Your car is a 18 year old machine, expect a drop in performance. 1 Like

Good evening boss, I was working on a car today Corolla 2009 with a 2zr engine. Before accident, the car was starting fine without problems. During the course of repairs engine had to be removed. After the repairs engine was replaced everything was put back in place except for the airbags they were yet to be replaced because of funds. Here is the problem, I have spark, fuel, compression, at times it will do as if it wanna start but it won't start after a very long crank. No fault codes present In the Powertrain ECU. I'm just stuck as I don't know what to do, though the engine sat outside the car for about a week. |

Billiebaba: Was the ECU removed from the car at anytime? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Billiebaba(m): 8:09pm On Mar 16, 2020 |
KINGreignn:Yes it was removed and returned back to the engine until it was fully re-installed because of theft. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by KINGreignn: 8:59pm On Mar 16, 2020 |
Billiebaba: re-sync it back or else your car won't start. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Billiebaba(m): 9:09pm On Mar 16, 2020 |
KINGreignn:Is there a manual way of doing it without scantool. As the scan tool I have is more like a generic one, it can only scan and clear codes for powertrain and see live data from the computer |

KINGreignn: Good evening, Thank you for your responses. Is there a way I can check the extent of damage on the gear before I change the transmission fluid? |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by KINGreignn: 10:18pm On Mar 16, 2020 |
Billiebaba: I don't know of any manual way. I use high end tools to run it. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by KINGreignn: 10:19pm On Mar 16, 2020 |
adeinfinit:I don't know of any way to test it other than pouring in the fresh transmission fluid and testing. |

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by frebor(m): 11:13pm On Mar 16, 2020 |
Zane2point4: I'm interested in the solution to this, I have two cars with this same issue. The recent one started after I changed to the extra Tyre and back and it has been like that. KINGreignn: Changed struts and sway bar bushings on the older case, issue went away and later came back. |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by KINGreignn: 11:22pm On Mar 16, 2020 |
frebor:Either low quality cheap parts were used or they weren't installed properly or you did some serious offloading. |
