It is white smoke. Does not smell.

Thank you for your prompt response.

Bluish or white smoke?

Your valve stem seals are culprit. Have it checked by a competent technician

The cause of your jerky action around 3000 rpm’s is due to failed VTC system.

Have a competent technician do the following:

1. Replace the oil with the correct grade.
2. Replace the oil filter with a genuine part replacement.
3. Replace the oil pressure sensor with good quality or higher quality aftermarket part (as good as Honda, if not better).
4. Remove the Vtec solenoid and clean the the valve unit or replace with genuine Honda brand new part and fitted a new gasket filter (genuine Honda).

Thank you so much. All that’s left now is to get a competent technician in osun

Does the spare tyre have a tpms sensor?
If no, one or more of your tpms sensor’s inbuilt battery may have failed and caused it to stop transmitting signals.

Scan the tpms system to ensure you know what’s wrong and then let us know what the codes are. We will guide you accordingly.

A car seller, 2009 Saturn aura sedan precisely, said the car has a hole in the engine block that prevents it from running. What exactly does that mean and what would be the way to fix it without replacing the engine entirely?

I suggest you ask a competent technician who knows those cars to check the car. From my experience, an engine block that is broken won’t run. The only remedy is to replace the engine.

How do I get fuel for my generator from my car?

.I tried using hose, it didn't work.

How can I get fuel from my fuel line in the engine?
Is it safe?

Petrol stations are not selling into Jerry cans.

.... Black market is also very expensive.

Save ur sanity, take ur generator to the fuel station and refill. Don't tamper with any fuel line. My 2 cents

If your car is a millennial model car, it’s most likely fitted with one-way valve (anti-siphoning valve) at the fuel filler pipe leading to the tank and you can not draw out fuel from that car.

Gurus in the house. Thank you for all the good work.

I intend to take my new 2012 accord to a rewire to fix a security to it, the one that turns off the engine after 5 minutes when the security is not pressed. I had such in my old 2003 Camry and it worked fine.

kindly advice if this is okay with no consequence for this type of accord, please.

Good morning engineers in the house, please my corolla altis does this thing where it suddenly reduces speed when I try to accelerate (as if something is holding the car back), the rpm meter drops and there is a tsk tsk sound. To overcome this, I have to press the accelerator gradually till I get to 100km/hr.
I've changed the oil, oil filter and plugs and the transmission fluid is above the gauge level but the problem persists.

Get a proper tracking device and a comprehensive insurance rather than those cut and wirings.
But alas! It’s your car and decision which is left for you to ultimately decide upon.

Scan that car and have a competent technician have it diagnosed properly.

Thanks boss.

I am not financial buoyant to get a comprehensive insurance and a tracker for now, thus, the reason I am thinking of getting a rewire to fix a security.

But, if you feels it's not the best way to go, so be it.

Hi Bosses,

In my toyota camry 2004, once I put on the ac the rpm drops and it makes the engine shales but once I put off the AC the engine stabilises, u was advised to install a vacuum

Hello Bosses,

I just dicovered this afternoon that when I turn on my AC it cools but it goes on and off. When the thermostat comes up, it pops out cool breeze from the vents and when the thermostat goes off, no cool air come out. It does so repeatedly. What should I do to correct it bosses.

Scan for codes, but I suspect it’s the throttle body.
Check the throttle body if it’s cable operated and the IACV is stuck, if it’s ETCS-I throttle body, still clean it.

A good tracker should be around 40,000naira, those after market security are not really reliable, after a while they will start misbehaving and stop the car in an unpleasant place.

Hi brothers, my car battery drain overnight. 2008 lexus GS 350. This has been happening for weeks now. Thanks in advance

My rav4 gear can only enter reverse. The mechanic said he can work on the gearbox for #60k. I'm I getting scammed?

If the battery is weak it will discharge overtime. If the alternator is trickle charging, when you stop driving, overtime, the battery charge will deplete. If there are any breaches or leak of power supply, it can deplete battery charge too.
So, have a competent electrician check the cause of the battery drain.
