Let an electrician check the grand wires

Thanks 🙏. Will that take care of all the other codes like the crank position sensor and throttle actuator. The car has entered limp mode. By the way, its also leaking oil

Good day everyone,

I drive a KIA sportage 2009, late last year I had an overheating issue, on getting home I discovered the radiator fan was burnt, so I got a rewire to install a new radiator fan. Instead of installing it the way the previous one was installed, he connected it directly to the battery using a relay, when I questioned him, he insisted that there would be no issue with the wiring. Anyways since that day my vehicle started dying while in motion, especially when you're driving slow or about to climb a speed bump. Sometimes it comes back ON after it dies, sometimes it doesn't. I thought it was a battery issue and swapped in new battery, but nothing changed.
Please what could be the problem? As my mechanic has run out of ideas.

Thanks.

Go to another electrician and have them return the fan to the original wiring and remove the quark job done, that's a good place to start.

Greetings, please my ABS is no longer functional which leads my speedometer not to read at all but my transmission gear selects very well. My mechanic said that nothing would happen to my gear as the gears selects well but I'm being skeptical about it. Any cause for alarm?

My car, a Lexus ES 350 suddenly show these codes after a restart.

How do I go about fixing it? I am a first time car owner and can I manage the car to travel from Ibadan to Lagos and back before fixing it?

The car still drives well.

PS: The brake light is showing because I have the handbrake engaged.

Say bye bye to the engine. Im so happy..fraudster.

What a pity,
You feel you are hiding behind a keyboard and you are an anonymous person, but what you don't know is you could easily be fished out and made to face the repercussions of your comments legally or otherwise.


Don't take it to mean I'm threatening you, I'm only telling you a bitter hard truth.

Go to a real website,where they pay real time money for subscription ads . You are too old for free outdated website.

Please don't bother engaging that low life individual. Very soon, he will have to defend everything he has ever said on Nairaland.

Check the following for the affected cylinder.
1. Plug
2. Coil and its connection
3. Injector and it's connection

Hello gurus in the house,
Please I need you input and explanation. (2007 Honda Accord 4 plugs)

Looking at the images attached, does my car consume fuel, because I no even understand the consumption thing and the calculation.
From Egbeda to VI, Monday to Friday (Movement is between 5.30am and 4pm), I buy around 60k + fuel every week for my 2007 Honda Accord 4 plugs (with 4 engers on both trips and without AC)

This morning just before leaving the house, I reset the TRIP A and TRIB B on the odometer to zero and also the Trip computer in the cars Navigation screen to zero. When I got to VI, the Odometer is showing 24.7 but the Trip computer is showing 40.4km.....why is there disparity in the trip calculator?

Also, is the car consuming fuel?
Please help me understand the TRIP A and B meaning

After scanning the car, the only error code is the radiator thermostat.

Please help.

2cribz: 4:51pm On Jan 23
60k every week on a 4plugs. Haba ,even v6 sef wont gulp that much.im sure u are getting almost 10/12mpg per gallon. E dey chop fuel like mad. Its not normal.if u come use AC nko,that wpuld be another minus 2 or 3mpg ud now be getting say 9mpg ,seems the car na v8.. alaye check your plugs,coils,02 sensors,maf sensors,catalyst and fuel pump or even the injectors. There is a big thief somewhere.

I drive a 2005 Honda Accord.

It's mpg from the factory is 9L per KM

Today I am getting 11L per KL due to the age of the engine in question

You yourself say you're using more L per KM and I see you also have a check engine light on for your radiator thermostat


Oga, why not fix your radiator thermostat and get an additional 2 - 3 mpg on your vehicle? I mean, the solution to your problem is staring at you in the face at this point undecided

The radiator was changed by the previous owner and it didn't come with the sensor.
I got the sensor at Oyingbo but didn't work and since then, I just haven't had the time for it.
Person no dey repair motor finish.

If really this is the cause, then I don't mind buying another sensor again and get a good rewire for the connection.

Forget about the sensor or wiring, just answer me this . . .

is a functioning thermostat present in the engine at this moment?
