Please good people I need help with my Toyota Camry 2004 edition (Big for nothing). The car is acting funny. It started after I did some maintenance work on it. I changed the engine seating, the Cold start sensor and the fuel pump. Now the car/engine just revs up (goes high) on it own while driving. My mechanic has changed and calibrated the gas pedal sensor yet the problem has persisted. Please anyone that has an experience with this should share with me.

Please don't play with anything oil leakage in car, not good, I sold off one of my car (Nigerian used) just for this same problem, mine the engine was shorting oil.

Seems they've figured out where the oil is leaking from... they said they'll have to remove the bottom oil part

Hello. Thank you for your fantastic work here.

I own a Honda EOD and changed its gearbox some time in February. Some time in May, I made the mistake of trying to travel with it without checking its gear oil level. The car gave me issues during the trip, but after I added about 2 liters of transmission oil, it started working properly I had to turn back to Lagos that night due to traffic though. When I returned to Lagos I went to service the car and used Holts Transmission oil to replace the old one (which had developed a smell during that failed trip).

Now recently I have noticed that the gear doesn't always click into reverse on my first try. Some times it clicks in one try but a lot of times I'll have to take it to another gear and bring it back to R before it clicks. What's the problem? Is it a gear switch somewhere or something else?

Thank you for all the work done here sir. I own a 2006 RAV4 and my brake goes soft n spongy when I’m on the road . I have bled the brake twice and it still does it. And this happens after driving for a while . Also it makes a grinding noise when I’m reversing and won’t move fast as if something is holding it down . I’m thinking it’s brake hose or master brake. Kindly advise

try changing the master. Are your brake pads okay?

Thanks for your response . I got another mechanic to check it n he said I needed to change the calipers . He took out the old one n fixed a new one n it seems to be working fine now. Someone said calipers cant only be repaired . Is this true ?cos he collected money for a new one which is quite expensive
