Es350.

frebor:


Check your dipstick, the correct oil is written on it. Same with the power steering too, check the reservoir cap

Wow. I only just got to know this! Let me check mine and confirm.

Hello GAZZUZZ,
I scanned my car (Toyota Camry 2007 V6) and got code P0420, P0430, P0328 and C1201.

While accelerating, the rpm shoots up and comes down then before the car starts accelerating freely. I guess it happens between gear 1 and 2

change the faulty knock sensor and the abs wheel speed sensor and try again. Personally looks lts trans related

Thank you. I will surely do that and come back. 🙏
The last time I had that error, my mechanic cleared them and the issues stopped, so he and asked me to drive it and come back for replacement if the issue comes back again.

Fast forward after 2 weeks or so, I started experiencing the issue again while accelerating , and he scanned it and saw that the error codes are back.

Hello bosses. Please my Toyota Camry 08 v6 idles very high at around 2000. It goes back to 1000 whenever i get engage gear. Took it to a mechanic in Auchi and he said my throttle body is faulty, don't know if I get the name right (the thing be like a cylinder like this with a butterfly -like metal inside it) He said I need to change it which I did immediately as i would be travelling to Kaduna the next day. Took the vehicle to Kaduna the next day and I noticed the problem is still there. Last week, I took the vehicle to a new mechanic in panteka, Kaduna,he scanned the car and still complained about the throttle body. This time around,it will stay at 1000 at idle but will suddenly move up to like 2000 after a minute or so. He said I'll have to change it again. I was so concerned when he started to rub one thing like paint inside the throttle Body say it will not allow it to raised suddenly again. I'm not so comfortable with that approach Please I need your advice

What codes did you get after scanning?

jceesquare:

What codes did you get after scanning?

Honestly I can't

labisibrass:

Honestly I can't

You'll need th scanned codes for remote diagnosis.

asides acceleration, everything works perfectly. On sport mode, the car accelerates perfectly. Just wanted to know if that's how the model of corolla is or if mine is just different....lol

chuuxxy:
Chief GAZZUZZ your input is needed. Also, ill like to note that aside the acceleration, the transmission works perfectly

I suspect a vacuum problem here. How’s the fuel consumption like?

Good evening . I was able to rectify it on Saturday. Took it to a place where it was scanned again, don't know the codes though, I couldn't even ask him as he's so busy. He spoke to the mechanic on the phone about servicing some sensors. The vehicle worked properly immediately he's done. We had to clean all the rubbish they've rubbed inside my injector mouth and the it wasn't changed as proposed by the former mechanic. My car is giving me it's old vibe again. I noticed a very great reduction in fuel consumption too.
Thank you.

Please kindly advise between this SUVs

Honda CRV 08
Acura MDX 08
Nissan qashqai 08
Nissan rogue 08

Which one can buy for peace of mind
Fuel and maintenance wise
Thank you

Good morning oga GAZZUZ.
I ride a 2003 Honda civic I noticed that at 100KM/H my RPM is hovering around 3000.
I get around 2500RPM at 80km/h.

My former corolla is 2200 RPM at 100km/h.

Also my car doesn't seem to have O2 sensors.
It's not like it is absent, the exhaust doesn't seem to have a place for it.

Is the RPM normal for my car?
And should I be worried about the lack of O2 sensors?

Good afternoon Mr. GAZZUZ

I am thinking of getting a Nigerian used Suzuki Every to make it easier to transport things to farm, and transport farm produce to market.

However, someone mentioned to me that Suzuki Every's are problematic. He suggested I save more money and go for a 1999 - 2002 Sienna.

I will like to get your opinion on this sir.

There's nothing wrong with your car, I get around 3,100rpm at 100km still my fuel consumption is still excellent. I thought it was an issue then, till i read in a forum were people who use similar car complain the same. Is yours manual?

Nope, automatic transmission.
Is yours a manual?

theguvnor:

Yes, manual. It's your Japanese spec?

ksmart027:

Yes, manual. It's your Japanese spec?

Yeah, Japanese spec.

theguvnor:


Yeah, Japanese spec.

Mine is Japanese spec too, guess the are built that way. A friends own the Canadian spec and rpm is 2,500 at 62mph. And also the don't come with 02 sensors and catalyst, so your car is perfectly normal.

Oh okay.
Thanks a lot.

Good morning Guys. Ref @Gazzuz

Please I need solid recommendations on good/durable tyres to buy (whether Toks or brank new). Location is Abuja pls. Thanks

Car tire size : 195/65r15 91v
Also can I buy a size slightly higher than this to help raise my honda civic a bit, cuz the ground clearance is quite low?
