You're very petty. Are you seriously advising him to switch from mineral to synthetic in order to spite Gaz? We both know it's only a matter of time before that abused engine dies a slow and painful death at the hands of those detergents.

Conductor261:

Don't join the bandwagon. I don't fit any imagined classification. Spite Gaz ...y?

Eddee:


Benefit of the doubt then, apologies are in order!

Often enough a bad IACV tends to damage the ECM. It's good you presumably have a better one now, but the previous one may have caused some damage to the ECM, and if so the new IAVC will, in turn, be damaged by the ECM. I'd advise you check the ECM for damage (burnt chips). If all is well you may then proceed with an idle air relearn, which will establish a proper connection between the new IACV and the ECM.

Infiniti QX4 2002.
I had idling issues. Idle bounces up and down.
car was scanned and I was getting P0505.... IACV ish. I bought a another throttle body since they actually come together. It didn't solve my issues. The erratic idle happens whenever it likes and becomes so annoying, car stalls at traffic and rpm rises to 1,500 when restarted. Mechanic told me that the IACV in the throttle body I bought is also faulty like the one I had. He tweaked the throttle body through the hole that comes from the IACV solenoid and blocked it with a paper. (picture attached). Then opened it a little bit to allow small air to pass. My problem was solved. No more erratic idles....but there was another problem.

He set the idle at 1,000rpm in Park/Neutral.
When I engage reverse or D, it comes down to 700. But where I had a problem with that arrangement is that when I put on the AC, car idles at 500 and sometimes go as low as 400-450 and feels like it's about to die. when you put off the AC, the rpm goes to 700 and you are good to go wherever you wanna go. Car drives just fine.

I saved money, went to Onitsha myself, went to my trusted engine seller and he yanked off a throttle body from a VQ35 engine and I went and installed it in my vehicle.
Start up was fine. idled within range (750rpm) but when I put on the AC, I still get the same issue that I had with the first one.

Please help

Ic17 responsible for the control of the idle isn't burnt. The entire ECU looks intact (by eye judgement). I sniffed it..... No burnt smell detected. Although I read in one Pathfinder group that an ECU can look perfect and yet fried.

Appreciate greatly. As regards, the supply I reside in Abuja so I dont know how you want to get that done. I just did the engine oil service using hardex, a little over a week ago but I am considering switching to Mobil 1(as advised) towards the end of next month..

aieromon:


Mobil 1 and other brands of 5w-30 oils are readily available in Gudu.

dannybrasky:

Dear Gazzuzz and other auto guru
I need your informed inputs.
I drove into my house this evening after visiting a relation.
I parked the car in. Then tried restarting to repark properly.
The car won't start but the check light comes on as if it wants to start.
Pls I need ur 3rd eyes here as I have to attend to an important meeting tomorrow morning
It looks like a rewiring issue if I can suggest but I don't know what to look out for.
Pls kindly assist.

Good morning guys. Please what could be wrong? The fuel light on my car dashboard won’t turn off even with over 30ltrs in it. Also the gauge is not going up anymore. I noticed it yesterday.


Also, anyone with an idea of how much the front bumper of a Hyundai Accent 08 will cost?

Blackbishop:


Boss good day
Can you reach out to the wiring from the starter motor to the battery and see if there is broken harness or fried wired. And if not since the check engine light is illuminated can you do quick scan. It will make the job easier boss

So many variables. Fastest check as previously mentioned by others is a scan. Does it make any noise at all and is it a "click"? If it is, you need a new starter.

From what I worked on with RAV4 that is an indication of a bad fuel gauge and prolly your filter will likely be affected

Is it engine rolling but non starting or non rolling of the engine at ( non cranking ). clarify pls

Lush100:
GD morning

No..it makes no noise.

Lush100:
No it's not rolling.
My radiator water gone down
I topped it with water to see if it would drain probably there was a leak but suprisingly I wasn't up to a half a pint it filled up.
It had be never been this low(I could see the base of the radiator handle where the water is poured into.
It made a blitz sound this morning (not a click sound but like when 2 wires are touching) when I tried to start.
I will buy a car scanner and post the codes.
I am sourcing for a car I will use temporarily.
Thankfully I am not going to work on Monday.
