Fix that p0128 first. Replace or reinstall your thermostat and restore your fan to factory settings.
That should go a long way. Fix the gas cap that doesn't click. You lose fuel from there too. As for the p0420, go and buy spacer from Gazzuzz. That should do it.

In addition, restoring a vehicles cooling system to factory can sometimes be complicated .


The use of tap water causes corrosion at Aluminum parts, especially at joints with rubber clips, also if the engine had a history of wear, cooler oil might extend bearing life.
If engine had a history of head gasket change without head resurfacing, optimal temps can result in leaks.

Restoring settings is good, but a lot of checks and balances need to be made or vehicle will become undrivable which defeats the aim of any form of preventive maintenance

Since yesterday my car temperature goes slightly above middle and sometimes even goes to high when my AC is on and in in stagnant Traffic for a while. When I turn the AC off it comes back to the middle

Please gurus in the house kindly advice. My fans are working

Mr Gazzuz, I got Corolla 2007 Tokunbo last year September 2020 and I am a novice about car. I notice that the cooling fan doesn't start rotating immediately I start the car until a few minutes after. When I took the car to a recommended Rewire last week to help fix the horn that didn't sound again, he noticed the fan and said he would have do something to make the cooling fan rotate immediately I start the car which he did and the fan starts rotating immediately I start it.
My question is whether that would have negative effects on the car

Trouble dey sleep you go wake am. Tell him to revert it back to how it was.

Faulty radiator or thermostat or both

I intend to change my Radiator from what it came with to a double cell radiator. Honestly I don't know if the radiator that came with the car is single or double cell.

The car is to Toyota Camry LE 2012.

If I change it , please do I also need to change the water pump ?

I like the car a lot

Gurus in the house please come to my rescue like the avengers.

Witnessed this issue once.

Gazzuzz advised I should change my radiator. I did and the problem was solved.

Haven't experienced it again for more than a year after.

Turned out the radiator had small leaks that caused water to evaporate. Which also caused the water level in the radiator to go down occasionally.

I changed radiator and switched from water to coolant.

obidevine:


Did you change to a double cell radiator?

Grupo:


I really don't know if it was double or single. I ordered the radiator and took to mechanic that changed it.

The mechanic showed me the points from where the old radiator was leaking.

Do you top off your radiator with water or coolant occasionally?

After the change, I have not had to top off the radiator again for more than a year. Because the coolant level has remained the same ever since.

obidevine:


Nice one. Yes Gazzuz has also adviced that I changed my radiator to a double cell one but I read online that if you change your radiator from single to double call you would also need to change your water pump


Please what year and make is your car and kindly find out of you changed to double cell?

Grupo:


Just found out now that the radiator is double cell. The one that was replaced was single cell, which was the "follow come."

Car is 2007 Toyota corolla.

I didn't change anything else.

I only switched from water to coolant as I didn't want to continue using water with the new radiator.

Do they have double cell waterpumps?

To stop hearing the noise, turn up your music. Problem solved.
