OP, my Toyota Camry, 1999 model, has been having fuel pump issues of late. The car begins to jerk and kind of cease after driving for about 5 to 10 mins. By then I guess the fuel pump is hot. I've bought 3 fuel pumps this year yet the problem still persists. What do you think? Could it be an electrical fault?
Secondly, my right back tyre gets bad quickly, within 3 to 4 months. The tyre gets twisted and the car begins to bounce from that side. Two wheel technicians (agbede) have checked it but found nothing wrong, changed the linkage, yet no difference. What could be the problem?
Expecting your response. Thanks.

Re: Ask your Mechanic ! ! ! Thread by ciggy000(m): 8:28am On Mar 28, 2020
op my 06 civic would jerk while changing gear from 1 to 2 and had the D indicator light on the dashboard started blinking. Most recently when I put it on D the car just revs high without moving. I got a mechanic who serviced the transmission sensor and changed the oil but the problem persisted. Got the vehicle scanned and it pulled out a P0776 code stating pressure control solenoid B performance. Right now I'm confused as the mechanic is saying I may have to replace the gear box as it is caused by a damaged fibre. Please I need your candid advice

Ask your mechanic to smell the oil to confirm if it's engine oil, transmission oil or power steering oil. Then he should start checking from the valve cover to the bottom plate to spot where its leaking from.

My 04 Corolla makes a funny sound when the ac is on and it feels like the load is too heavy for the engine to bare. It normalizes after a minute or two.

Plus I noticed oil on the floor where I parked it for some days, but recently I can't seem to see any new 'leakage'. I've checked the oil and it seem normal according to the indicators on that long iron (don't know what it's called).

Also, leaving the battery connected to the terminals overnight runs it down. Now I park and remover the battery connectors.

Are these problems related? I want to know what the problem(s) is/are before I visit any mechanic. Thanks.
