Ambalicious:Vibration and blinking check engine points to a misfiring engine You need to find out the cause of misfire. Ot could be mechanical, fuel related, air related, vacuum leak, ignition related. |

Good day house Whenever I start my car and shift my gear to drive, I do experience delayed gear shifting, especially the low gears. Engine keeps revving but the car does not accelerate appropriately. Please what could be the cause. Camry 2001, auto. |

Good morning, I jus changed my radiator from single to a new double cell due to leakage from the single cell radiator. Thermostat is still intact and single fan inclusive(not connected directly) After driving the car on Saturday, Sunday morning I checked the water level in the radiator and saw the water is low, so I opened the coolant plastic and saw that the water there has overfilled more than the FULL level its meant to attain, which means that the excess of the water in the coolant plastic is meant to go back into the radiator when engine is cool and it didn't. Does that mean the car would likely overheat. Would love to hear your advise pls....When I called the mech, he said I would need to remove thermostat and connect far directly which am against.The car is a year old and it's a corolla 05 model..would love your inputs so as to take necessary precaution against the unforseen. |

martyns200: Please do not allow any mechanic remove your thermostat and wire fan directly. I'll suggest you drive the car and observe the temperature gauge and coolant level in the reservoir. Then let's have the results. From experience, it will take your car longer time to reach optimal working temperature because of the increased size of your radiator |

Mottomata: You are very much correct. After the first day which I noticed that which made me put up this write up, the radiator later began working perfectly as it should. Thanks for ur advice, I appreciate |

Jaguarspaw:Sorry for the late reply. Have you been able to get it fixed? Otherwise check your transmission fluid. If low top it up and monitor the performance. Scan to see if there is any related error code stored in thr ECU. You can also do a simple visual inspection of the wires & connectors go to the transmission. |

mabeni: Dirty throttle body could be the cause. Basically what happens is the engine power at that time is not enough to compensate for the additional load. Check for dirty air filter, dirty throttle body, clogged injectors, check fuel pump pressure, check the coils and plugs are in good condition. If any of the above is not as it should kindly do the needful. |
Re: REMOTE FAULT ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS GUIDE By AutoMoTech by AutoMoTech(m): 5:53am On Aug 25, 2020 |
Mottomata:Thumbs up |
Re: REMOTE FAULT ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS GUIDE By AutoMoTech by AutoMoTech(m): 5:55am On Aug 25, 2020 |
martyns200: However please continue to monitor the coolant level. Like you stated, the coolant is supposed to go back to the radiator. But if otherwise, a faulty radiator cap could cause it. So just get it checked. If found faulty pls replace. 2 Likes |

Pls help...i need a very good key programmer please..they said my car entered code... it's blinking key light and refuses to start or goes off immediately it starts.... Honda civic 2007 |

nonhuman:Are there 2 issues here? Pls explain the issues much more clearly so I can assist. |
Re: REMOTE FAULT ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS GUIDE By AutoMoTech by nonhuman(m): 10:10pm On Aug 26, 2020 |
Yes first issue is the overheat second issue it's that car does not idle, it keeps reving high on park as if I am firing it even on acceleration it it speeds on its own without my control AutoMoTech: |
Re: REMOTE FAULT ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS GUIDE By AutoMoTech by AutoMoTech(m): 9:08am On Aug 27, 2020 |
nonhuman:For the high revving... If you can get a scan tool, check the Throttle position sensor value. Is it higher than it should? Also check for vacuum leaks. A high vacuum leak would make the idle go very high. |

Please what's the cause of a 2012 Hyundai accent with automatic gear having the following issues: It has a slow acceleration. Some times when I have to go over a speed bump, the car appears not to have enough drive power except I move back and go over with some speed. Secondly it jerks when I am switching gears |
Re: REMOTE FAULT ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS GUIDE By AutoMoTech by AutoMoTech(m): 11:18pm On Aug 27, 2020 |
Many things could cause this 1. Restricted fuel supply 2. Restricted air supply 3. Faulty air metering i.e. MAF, MAP etc Its difficult to point you in the direction of what's faulty without diagnosis which would inclade scanning and carrying out some tests |
Re: REMOTE FAULT ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS GUIDE By AutoMoTech by olaboyeh(m): 11:41pm On Aug 27, 2020 |
olaboyeh: Special thanks to Automotech He has fixed the issue.. apparently the key needs reprogramming... Removing the battery terminal with a key made the immobiliser not recognise the car...thanks to everyone for your input 1 Like |
