I own a Honda accord 2006, automatic transmission. The issue is that whenever it's about to change into gear 2, it take a while, sometimes Jerks, after driving for a long time, the D light on the dashboard starts blinking. A mechanic suggested I change the gear totally. I scanned it and the code is P0752
Kindly assist.

They are scrap engines,out of a scale of 10,ud be lucky to get 3. I said snd i repeat,most toks engines sold at ladipo are tepaired scraps or junkyard thrashed scraps from abroad,smuggled and sold as working perfectly. Ladipo is a home of scrap toks engines.

My 2005 Toyota Camry jerks when I hold the brake while the car is in drive or reverse. I’ve also noticed a burnt smell coming from the car, and I know the catalytic converter has been removed. What could be causing the jerking?

Misfire either from one bad ignition coil or
Dirty from ur injectors
Bad sparkplugs can cause it too

Good morning,

I just changed my plugs in my automatic corolla 2008. I reversed from my compound and drove out normally. When I got to the location I was going to, I wanted to reverse so as to park well but it wasn’t reversing. I put it it in neutral but they still couldn’t push it back. Only moving forward. What could be the cause as I recently changed both the gear oil and engine oil.

This is a fantastic initiative! Having a dedicated thread where car owners can share their vehicle issues and receive practical advice is a huge help for many. It’s great that you’ll be providing detailed solutions and even including visual aids like pictures and videos where possibleβ€”that really makes troubleshooting so much easier.

To everyone posting, be sure to include as much detail as possible about your car (make, model, year, transmission type, and engine) to help the experts here diagnose the problem quickly. This could save you both time and money by identifying the issue before heading to a mechanic.

Thanks for creating this helpful space, and happy motoring to all! πŸš—

You mentioned the vehicle is automatic transmission, so which gear level do you refer to as gear 2? I want to learn

U bought the car new why dont u just change the engine to toks,u will have peace of mind.dem don scatter your engine oh. Radiator,condenser,fan,cover,cylinder,fan belt,cranshaft,top gasket and they wont torgue back the bolts to factory spec. See alaye just sell the car. Buy toyota camry 2006 vplugs
trendyprettygir:
Please I need help.

I have changed:
Radiator
Condenser
Complete fan
Radiator cover
Top gasket
Done surfacing of cylinder
Fan belt
Crankshaft sensor or so
I used coolant
Radiator hose has been checked
I changed oil and oil filter
Scanned (this brought the sensor matter)

Yet the radiator sends water to the reservoir and the reservoir is full but radiator remains empty. We have tried removing from reservoir and send to the radiator. Same thing repeats.Then the car temperature guage goes up and then comes down.

If I switch on ac temperature guage goes up and go down when I switch off.

Another thing is the car vibrates for few seconds when it’s started and then stops and it does not happen maybe till I start another time but not everyday or everytime. It’s Hyundai 2012 accent.

I am tired and depressed. I have spent a lot of funds fixing car. What could be the problem?

What is really wrong?

My Toyota Corolla 2010 is having the same issue.

Mine started after I change the rings of the engine because I experienced shortage of engine oil steadily after every long distance trip. My life has never remained the same after it.

I have equally done all that you did yet it didn't yield any good result. I have make up my mind to save towards a new engine. I am managing the vehicle right now.
2cribz: 12:35pm On Nov 17, 2024
You shpuldnt have touched the piston rings or even bothered to open the engine. You should all know that naija no get any better mechanic,na kazeems and inside those kazeems,there are professional quacks under on3 quack organisation,whose motto is to chop the owner and kill the engine. Next time ,have the pistons and crowns soak for 3 days with paint thinner. Your piston rings were stuck due to decades of carbon build up. Just sell the car factory can never install fake rings.

You might have a vacuum leak. What's your long fuel trim and short fuel trim looking like

Not all engine oil shortage is as a result of worn out piston rings. There are other factors that could cause engine oil shortage

Alaye don't waste money on coolant.emif your car is destined for overheating,no matter the colour ,it must overheat. Alaye take distilled water like 3litres,with two abro can coolant,mix and enjoy. Before that ,flush the whole cooling system such as water pump,radiator,radiator hose...and pour. Naija heat with dust,dirt,bad roads,every go later humble your car...
