Gallass: You should never hear a his. Worst case are short pulses. Stop self diagnosis and find a tech who understands the principles of how modern day vehicles work. |

Vbabs:In order of priority, 1. Sack that technician 2. Have another competent technician carefully check the car again, 3. Replace the bad parts and do not convert. 4 Likes |

nymphomaniac:Sometime ago I washed the engine bay of my Altima and it started rough idling. Later discovered it was the intake manifold. |

nymphomaniac: Never make the mistake of driving it immediately after wash. All your belts may fly out do to the soap making them slippery. If it is not necessary then avoid it. |

hollaryincar: With age catalytic converters will burn out. You have 3 options. 1 Replace catalytic converter 2. Install O2 spacer https://www.nairaland.com/5731965/90-degree-oxygen-sensor-spacer 3. Ignore code. |

My Toyota corolla refuse to start. After sometimes it started and later he refuse to start even though the car crank. Don't know if it is the fuel because the day I bought fuel treatment that was the day the refuse to start |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by David50: 8:42pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
morinto: Open ur tank and examine your fuel filter... it may have been clogged by debris accelerated by the fuel treatment u used ... (trust me, I'm speaking from experience) |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by morinto: 9:38pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
David50:. Sorry to ask but did your car refuse to start again or can u tell me the symptoms in details? Thank u Because I want to call mechanic to check mine |

morinto: A day after using an injector cleaner product, I was driving down the highway, then my car began to hesitate vigorously. I managed to drive it down to my office then ran a scan. It indicated that the system was running lean. I knew there was a blockage somewhere. Luckily for me, I had the tools necessary to get the job done, so I proceeded to work out the fuel pump and low and behold, milky-feather like debris that weren't there a week ago (cus i examined it then) had saturated the tank. This I believe is because the injector cleaner only did half the job - it exposed all the impurities in the fuel system but was insufficient to expunge them. Fortunately, I always carry a spare fuel pump in my boot so I changed it. The car ran well for about a week, then I had the same experience again. This was because the tank was still full of those debris... To solve this problem, someone recommended a very powerful fuel cleanser to me. One round of it and my tank was as clear as crystal. To be thorough, u can also check ur injectors too as the impurities may have made their way there. |

David50: Please what is the name of that very powerful fuel cleanser you use |
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by morinto: 11:41pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
David50:. Thank u bro. I appreciate the information |
