Good evening sir. Please i bought this Toyota Camry 2007 4 plug engine. to use for bolt. But i am not enjoying the car. This car does not drive well at all. It misfires and acts like it is been forced to move. After scanning it brought this code
P0016 crank cam position correlation
P0102 mass air flow circuit low
P0101 mass airflow sensor circuit range/performance
P0116 engine coolant temperature circuit range/ performance problem
P0113 intake air temperature circuit high input
P0172 system too rich

I recently bought the Bluetooth scanner I will attach some pictures. I don’t know if it will be of help.

there's alot of faults especially electrical that are definitely affecting the engine performance.
secondly due to waer and tear you might be experiencing low engine performance however to enjoy the car, you will need to fix the issues noted on the scan result.
there is a possibility the same electrical fault is the cause of the MAF codes and Air temperature code.
P0016 crank cam position correlation - this code is timing related. stretched chain, faulty VVT, faulty CAM/CRANK position sensor or wiring faults can trigger this fault. I also suspect that engine is old and possibly abused.

P0102 mass air flow circuit low
P0101 mass airflow sensor circuit range/performance
P0113 intake air temperature circuit high input
the above 3 codes are possibly related. you need a competent electrical expert to help diagnose and repair the faults
P0116 engine coolant temperature circuit range/ performance problem


P0172 system too rich this might be as a result of the MAF codes.
where is your location?

I am in portharcourt. The car jumped timing very well. And the timing chain is very loose on the cam shaft. The mechanic says there is an adjuster that makes the timing chain firm, that it is spoilt. So hopefully tomoro when he is done, car should be fine

OK THAT'S GOOD. BUT HOW ABOUT THE MAF FAULTS?
THE TIMING RESET WILL SURELY HELP IMPROVE ENGINE PERFORMANCE HOWEVER THE MAF CODES WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE A VERY HIGH FUEL CONSUMPTION.
KINDLY CONSIDER FIXING IT. IF NOT NOW LATER.

BEST REGARDS

Good morning sir, the timing has been set twice and it has jumped. They first changed the timing chain adjuster, it jumped timing. The guy had to loosen the side of the engine. To look at it. After everything he said it was ok. After driving it, it has jumped timing. It was scanned and has the previous
P0016
And a new code
P0011 camshaft position timing over advanced or system performance bank 1

Has he considered changing the timing chain?
There is definitely something causing the chain to jump constantly.
Until that is resolved, that code will keep coming back and you will experience low engine performance.

Good evening sir. They just discovered this evening that the chain rail damper, according to dem is bad. The adjuster mouth is always sliding off the damper because the plastic fence like stuff on the damper, that is meant to hold the adjuster mouth hostage is broken. I hope this solves the issue. Will check dem tomorrow

hopefully it should.
i just hope they dont keep making you spend money sha without fixing the problem

Hello sir, I will like to bring my car to your workshop for maintenance, my engine used to be silent but has recently increased sound, it is normal to some but I am not comfortable with it and also, the speedometer has stopped working. How can I reach you sir?

My es300 is killing me with fuel consumption. Does 7.8mpg in city.
Scanned and got the following codes
P0016
P0018
P0031
P0051
P0057.
Pls help.

What's the repair history?

Head gasket changed since then fuel no sweet again, but can moves very ok.

Your timing might be off a bit or something wrong with your valve train (Camshaft sprocket, oil control valve for your variable timing and a host or other issues)
You'll need to reset the timing or inspect components around it.
Where is your location?

Warri, Delta state.

Ask your mechanic to go over his work and inspect the valve train.
If he welded your variable cam gear, then you'll need to replace or manage with the fuel consumption and it's long time effect on your engine.

Ok. Thanks alot

Hello mechanical gurus in the ous. I got this code after scanning my honda civic FD2 yesterday. It's toks just one month used. I don't notice any problem while driving, the engine check light came on and I scan

Happy new year all. And to you boss
My mechanic change the variable can gear cause it was stiff and also corrected the timing and code was gone. But yesterday I did another scan after driving for over 100miles and got P0022
My mpg for the 100miles was 17.2mpg.
I believe the mpg is still too high.

Good to know he fixed the initial issue, but sad to know he left you with another.

Ask him to check your oil control valve socket and the wires. If they're fine then he should try actuate it with a 12V battery to know if it works. Change the oil control valve if bad, or reconnect socket if not properly fixed.

If all works fine then you might have issues with oil flow to the valve.

Ok boss. I will do just as you have said. But don't you think 17.2mpg is still not good enough for combined city/high of 100miles?

Several factors could affect your fuel economy (assuming your engine is in perfect condition).
Low tyre pressure, binding breaks, wrong tyre size and type, occupants and loads in the boot, drive terrain (hills, stop and go traffic, and a host of other conditions), unnecessary modifications that would affect aerodynamics, and most importantly your driving style (hard acceleration, hard breaking, and not coasting when necessary)

Omo thank you for holding forth o my guy... damn see as cobweb don full everywhere.

HAPPY NEW YEAR OOOOOOOO MY PEOPLE!!!
It truly has been a very long while but I am back now.
if you have any issues with your vehicles you can kindly drop them here let's help with a guide to solving it.

Where have you been?

my guy... na hustle jare.

i kukuma dey enter NL wella. but i rarely comment due to the very negative nature of peoples comment.
decided to ignore all that and revive the thread.

we suppose connect off NL o... zero seven zero 62222 nine nine eight
make we connect via whatsapp

[color=#006600][/color]Please my Car (Lexus ES330 2005) is having an issue, I was driving yesterday evening I noticed my Exhaust is bringing out white smoke and the smoke is smelling fuel, also the engine is shaking, my mechanic said i will have to change the brainbox, because it's only 3 plugs working out of the 6 plugs and now the Check engine light is blinking.

You have stuck open injectors that's permanently dumping fuel into the combustion chamber instead of pulsing them and that's one of the reasons why you have a blinking check light.
1st you need to run a scan to know which of the injector(s) is faculty, then trace the circuit before concluding on the ECU.

Bosses in the house.

Currently having a problem with my Avensis 2003. Started with the throttle not giving power that is commensurate to the push on it. And when am climbing a hill it begins to lose speed despite pushing the pedal down to the last while on flat ground it move. Sometimes, it reeves very high especially when I move it after parking under the sun. But after offing and restarting, it becomes normal again.

But recently, like after 3 months of driving since I noticed the stated problems above, throttle pedal doesn't respond at all. So I parked it, only to come the next day to pick it up where I parked and the car won't start after the electrician did all he could he left another came and scanned and the following codes came up

P0136
P0353
P0354
P2102
P2121

Finally, he got it to start but no response from the throttle pedal which was why I parked it.

He said he's taken the ECU for test as well as the pedal sensor and they turned out okay. Been 4 days now. Abeg, I don tire... I need solutions please. Thank you 🙏
