@ op take good picture of your fuse box properly. You would need a physical assessment of damages parts. Pictures might not help in this case.

GAZZUZZ:


you look the picture so?

Might look clear to you and might not to me.

Check for a broken fuse

Your engineer doesn't know how to make use of a scan tool

Could you pls post scan result. Changing throttleless or whatever you call wouldn't solve the nightmare on that vehicle. Post exact scan result as seen on the scan tool. We can move up the ladder from there

Why use palm oil in an engine like this. What a pity. Check for presence of fuel, spark and compression

Hargusto:




He drained it tru the sump, the car was parked for over 2hrs bfre oil change was done..... last time i changed oil was 1yr and it has just exceeded 30000 miles before this recent oil change....

That is the problem. Parked for 2hrs. Transmission was still hot

Nice one. Toyoto family won't like this

Victoriousvic:

I'm not too sure about the bolded, a mechanic ran the scan. I'm not really familiar with these tools.

I'm based in Calabar.

If a professional scan tool isn't used you wouldn't get any fault

Fail safe mode has probably been activated. What kind of scan tool was used. There is a pending fault on the power train. You would need to carry out a proper diagnosis to get to the root of the problem. For your oil pressure warning light you might want to start with the engine pressure oil switch. Your location?

This is a sign of parvovirus. A very deadly virus

GS350 not ES350

To start with.What type of transmission fluid was used and how was the old fluid drained

Thanks bro, no traces of leakage on the rack, it's dry and neat. I will take it for inspection cos if leakage exist I sld be battling with low oil level which I'm not.

I will look for a good mechanic who might be able to fix it.

Let me just advice you. Go for a brand new power steering pump

Hi all,

I'm having power steering issues with my Honda DC 2006. When the car is in motion the steering feels easy, smooth and soft but when I'm stationary, without revving, the steering feels hard and difficult and when I force it the power steering starts making noise.

Please what could be the problem and how do I fix it.

My daily douse of panadol has increased. Old any advice?

Have your power steering pump changed. Ensure the power steering reservoir is cleaned up properly from debris before installation. If reservoir is extremely dirty have it changed

martyns200:


guess tinz didnt go as planned after fixing engine

Shhhhhhhh!!!!

Do a 2008 for es350. Transmission issues on 2007. Total fix for this cost 500k and above

GAZZUZZ:


I disagree. Engine will start and run.

martyns200:
where's op

Pls house, who can help me with this. My 2005 Honda pilot is misfiring and check light blinks when I try accelerating hard. I have changed the plugs. Changed a nozzle which mechanic said was bad. Bought enough fuel and added injector cleaner but to no avail. I even changed the air filter. Please I need help

Location?

Coolant pressure test? Have not heard this before... How can I go abt it?

You need the right(special) tool for this.

3 wks warranty

Ignore this. No seller would give you 3weeks warranty but what do I know

Nice thread... Am currently having challenges with my Toyota camry 2005. I awlays refill the water reservoir everyday. I mean the coolant reservoir. The mechanic said I should change the radiator to double cell which I have done but the problem still persist.. I have even changed water pump still the same problem.. I don't know what else to do.. The car does not over heat just that am afraid it will over heat if I stop putting water in that reservoir. Please I need ideas on how to solve this... I'm in awka

There's a leak around your cooling system. Carry out a coolant pressure test and that should reveal the leak

Danfo doing what they know how to do best

Fuel pressure low. Carry out a fuel pump pressure test and compare to manufacturer spec. You might as well want to run a scan on your powertrain

Hammer head comes to the mind

This calls for smoke test 101

Imagine a doctor that takes his sick patient to his colleagues for team work diagnosis yet shield the details of the patient from them.....I hope you will agree it doesn't make sense.

BMW s Bosch during production of most of their vehicles. Mecerdes Benz s Bosch as well during production of most of their vehicles that's why you see most parts come in Bosch. Toyota s denso, Aisin, Bose and many Innovative companies for production of some components.

9icetoo:
Here is what I think.
That particular cylinder developed a hot spot, probably on a plug which lead to detonation. This detonation created pits on the cylinder head.
Each time plugs are changed, the symptom goes away until more materials are deposited from the pit on the new plug and the cycle starts all over again.
Eventually, the detonation (preignition) melts the top of the piston.
What I don't get is what broke off the valve.

From all angles you are very correct. This was exactly what happened

Excessive heat. Have had a case of a broken valve from a Hyundai Tucson 2005 as a result of excessive over heat the centre of the crown broke off. One thing have come to find out is materials used on this valves vary across manufacturers. I had another case of excessive overheating of a Lexus rx300 and no broken valves on it. Same valves were reused

MotorGuru:


Wouldn't that be a case of a blocked exhaust( catalyst)?

Not in all cases
