A/F sensor aka Wide Band oxygen sensor aka Heated oxygen sensor aka Upstream O2 sensor has a heating element inside it, and it’s primary function is to monitor the flow of burnt gases flowing from the exhaust manifold and also use this info to monitor and relate to the ECU to adjust the air and fuel stoichometry as needed. It is placed usually before a catalytic converter just aft of the exhaust manifold outlet of the engine.

O2 sensor aka narrow band O2 sensor aka downstream sensor primarily monitors NOx and SOx and other harmful gases coming out and also tells if the catalytic converter is doing it’s job or not. It’s placed after a catalytic converter most times.

Nice explanation sir.

kingreign:

What code are you trying to solve?
The 36531-RNA-A01 which is from your car is an AF sensor while the one you bought is an O2 sensor and do not carry out their operations in any similar way.

Hello Kingreign, which coolant do you suggest besides Toyota Super Long Life Coolant?

Hello Kingreign, which coolant do you suggest besides Toyota Super Long Life Coolant?

You did not indicate the type of coolant recommended for your car or the year of your car.
Prestone coolant, Mannol coolant

There are basically 4 types of coolants for cars:

#1 - IAT (Inorganic Acid Technology)
#2 – OAT (Organic Acid Technology)
#3 – HOAT (Hybrid Organic Acid Technology)
#4 – Dex-Cool.

Oh no, it's over a year's purchase.
I got it cos the values in the STFT -10 & LTFT -20, burning rich.
That values have not been different lately.

My camry 05 battery runs down so fast. Turn off the engine for like say 10 minutes with maybe a door open, it won't start again. Who I bought the car from said the battery was purchased recently. I have serviced the kick, yet same issue. The alternator charges the battery well. I am just tired.
What could be the cause please?

Good morning everyone.

Special thanks to those who provide help here.

Presently, my exhaust was worked on and a day after I got P0401 error code. The car is Honda Accord 2007.

The error code points at EGR.

1. Can I travel with this and fix it when I return? How serious is this?

2. What are the things to check before replacing the component?

Please kindly respond. Thank you.

Toyota Corolla 2009.

The recommended coolant is Toyota corolla super long life coolant.

It's too pricey and hard to get.

That's why I'm asking if there's a cheaper alternative I can use like Total Coolant

Your car is an OAT type, go for the genuine or any other recommended type I posted there. Mannol or Prestone. They don’t come cheap but get the work done.

I don’t know of any cheaper alternative and I won’t advice for water or some random computed fluids of questionable quality.

You did not specify if it was a v6 or an i4 but from the code, your EGR has a restriction on the age. Clean out the carbon built up in the EGR and the age. If you have done this and it still doesn’t work, check your exhaust if it was blocked and if it’s not blocked, replace EGR.

Good afternoon, I’ve got this flashing D light issues on my accord 08. A guy on the Honda maintenance asked me to reach out to you @kingreign.

He said he got his issues resolved by clearing error codes. But he’s in Lagos. He said you’re in Abuja that you can help.

There are many causes such as loose or corroded battery cables and terminals. Perhaps the serpentine belt is not at proper tension due to a failed tensioning system or excessive wear. Maybe there is excessive parasitic discharge on the battery or just maybe the battery has seen better days and needs replacement.

Check with a battery charge tester if the battery holds charge or not before you start touching the car’s electrical system

WHICH COLANT WOULD A VW GOLF 4 ENGINNE USE?

id4sho:

Good day, I use a 2003 Toyota Camry 2AZ-FE. Recently, the driver side firewall started vibrating when vehicle is on Drive, no vibration on N or P. I changed fuel pump, my electrician washed the fuel pump assy using thinner. The vibration stopped for some days. CEL is on after driving for some time. No CEL at starup. I also noticed increase in fuel consumption. One of the ignition coil is cracked and black tape was used to cover it. The last scanning didn't show any error codes.

Clean your throttle body with a clean rag using injector cleaner. Or just use a white rag without injector cleaner and clean it properly. Watch video on YouTube on how to go about it or your mechanic. It's a simple hack.. It's something you can do. And thank me later. From experience.
Thanks in anticipation

Good morning,

It could be a simple wheel speed sensor or a wheel hub or even an ABS module. Do scan to fish out the culprit then fix.
If you’re in Abuja, do call 07034581213

Please, state the name, model and year of your car, type of transmission and engine, and the location of the car to enable quicker response.

Good evening Sir!
Pls I will appreciate if we can talk on phone so that I can be able to explain my car problem better.

The car is a 2001 Honda Odyssey.

While driving yesterday, the car engine suddenly went off...but all the lights on the dashboard and the radio/headlamps were still working.

I had to clear from the road, and tried starting it again.
When I turned the key, there was no response.
The engine doesn't start or revolve...but the lights on the dashboard were showing.
I had to leave it.

This morning, I called an auto-electrician to check it.
In the process, he turned on the ignition with the key from inside, then he came out, opened the bonnet and attached a wire to the kick starter and touched it on the battery terminal and the Engine started without hesitation.
He then put the engine off, loosed the cover under the steering and did some wire cut-and- connections and the car was able to start NORMALLY from the inside.

I paid and he left.

I drove the car to work and came back this evening without any issue.

This night I wanted to go out, and when I turned the ignition, the car failed to start(no engine crank) but I noticed a noise, I opened the bonnet and something attached to the kick-starter was making a continuous sound (like a fan on high speed).

I turned of the ignition immediately and removed the key, but the thing was still revolving.
I then had to disconnect the battery terminals and it stopped.

I just called the electrician and complained.
He said he will come tommorrow and check.

I have a feeling that something isn't right with the work he did. Maybe he did some by and now it's backfiring.

What could be the possible initial issue with my car before the electrician did this job?

Please I need Expert Advice now so that I can be equipped to face him tommorrow!



Happy motoring!!

He byed some wires. This is quite dangerous as it could cause other damages and even electrical fires. Please call him to rectify the issue as it ought to be.

Okay Sir.
But how can this be resolved?
I think it would be best to identify the Original fault and CHANGE any component that needs a replacement instead of a by.

What could be the cause of the failure for the car to start from inside but worked when he attached a wire to the starter and battery terminal?
