@ gazzuzz and other professionals
Pls I need help
My matrix 05 rpm needle doesn't stay at 1, it's jump between 0 and 1. The car vibrate terribly and make terrible noise. The mechanic added small paper to the injector mouth but the issue persisted. He advised we change the injector mouth, we bought another one at Ladipo, better than the previous one but I'm not satisfied with the performance.

Later today, we discovered that the manifold has a leak, he said the leakage might be the cause but I'm doubting his competency. What do you advice sir?

First remove the paper the mechanic put there, fix the leak, scan your car for codes and lastly change your mechanic.

I have always been praying I don't have issues with my gear but the scary thing happened yesterday.

While I was in traffic yesterday , car was running, at a point I stepped on my gas to move to car only revved and never engaged, I off the engine , restarted and it engaged , I scaled thru the traffic afterwards and headed for sagamu-ibadan express way, on getting to ibadan I experienced the same problem , restarted the engine n moved again..

Pls what could be the problem?

Gear oil was recently changed, still looking very fine ..

Honda Accord 2004 i4

Good morning Gazzuzz,
I have the CEL and VSC off lights on in a 2008 toyota highlander, I scanned it and got a P0051 [Oxygen (A/F) Sensor Heater Control Circuit low ( Bank 2 Sensor 1)] and P0793 Intermediate Shaft Speed Sensor 'A' Circuit No Signal.
The VSC off comes with the P0051 but when I read the sensor in question for continuity on the black cables there was continuity (which online information says indicates the sensor is okay), when I check the source for supply, power is supplied to the sensor. That is confusing for me, I will appreciate your inputs on this. Thanks.

Update
I discovered yesterday that 3 out of the 4 cables entering the supply socket was cut off (picture attached). I connected them and the codes are all gone.
Thanks Gazzuzz for that nudge in the direction of the ECM.

Camry O3, Leakes oil. Have silled severally, no result. Stalls while moving, slow acceleration. Any advice? And how much for a new engine? And where can I get a reliable one in ABJ?

Well, it did what the manufacturer advertised. It has high detergent concentrations and cleaned out the sludge formed by the 20w50 in your engine.

Oil is getting past your cleaned rings and seals. Either you go back to 20w50 or you ready a budget for engine overhaul or a toks engine.

If you can live with the blue smoke, manage the engine for a little while while you consider your options.

Whatever you decide (overhaul or toks), use manufacturer recommended engine oil from then onwards.

I have gone back to 20w 50, not smoking... Sluggish at start of acceleration and leaks oil drastically, despite the heavier oil

The sludge plugging the seals has been cleaned off. Consider changing the affected seals to stop the oil leaks.

My Toyota 2006 corolla hub (both front side) is making noise.

Can I buy new hub and how can I solve the problem.

I need a good mechanic in Akure.
