MotorGuru: 9:16am On Apr 03, 2019 |
Neyohpinpin: Check the operation of your cooling fans. It should come on ( the two of them) when you switch on the AC. |
MotorGuru: 9:18am On Apr 03, 2019 |
bleedingpile: Not a bad car. It has a rugged engine. read your owners manual for all these info( you will find them there) and you are good to go. |

MotorGuru:Hello sir! There's this 03 avalon 3.0 L. I'm using atm. No CEL. Last week I filled the tank to brim and zeroed my odometer and got only 193 miles out of it till the fuel Guage turned red. Two days ago I bought fuel of 2k/13 litres and on my dashboard it showed 38miles, but my odometer only read 18miles till fuel Guage turned red. Problem iv noticed is that the fuel mileage reading on my dashboard drops faster than anything. From 38 miles it will drop to 30miles, from 30 to 24, 20, 15, 10, 5 and the next thing is 0 mileage but my odometer will be accurate to record for me like only 18miles and my fuel Guage turns red again. Could it be that the fuel is pouring away somewhere cos I frequent filling station every now and then because the fuel Guage drops so fast. Car is 250k miles, problem free vehicle cos the right fluids are used on it. Please any suggestion/solution for this? |

MotorGuru: good day bro. I get a high humming noise whenever AC is turned on (even at the lowest) on a 2006 rav 4. it cools very well too. Wat could be the cause. |
babyboy4every1: 6:21am On Apr 06, 2019 |
MotorGuru:God bless u &ur handiwork. Alot of kazeems everywhere in abk. Infact, most of them can nt identify where to locate d egr valve (someone told me on nrlnd 2 clean it). So, i ws so confused. All they kept saying is "u hv to ring d engine" without even considering other possible causes as u just suggested now. Where is ur workshop located? Ur ? Or betterstill, can you recommend any engineer in abk. Thanks. |

Pls I have Mazda Xedos 9 and it is extremely overheating and I've done all I could to stop it but all proved abortive and my radiator is not leaking I can't travel long distance what can I do?

MotorGuru: 12:15pm On Apr 06, 2019 |
Newbreed2018:Is your check engine light on? |
MotorGuru: 12:16pm On Apr 06, 2019 |
Ukeachu1: Could be the operation of your cooling fans (which should be normal) another possibility is the compressor bearing going bad (cheap fix) |
MotorGuru: 12:17pm On Apr 06, 2019 |
babyboy4every1:at your location i cant unfortunately. |
Newbreed2018: 12:17pm On Apr 06, 2019 |
MotorGuru:No CEL Sir. |
MotorGuru: 12:18pm On Apr 06, 2019 |
darejem2002: are your fans working? is your thermostat working? have you ever worked on your engine before? any funny coloration of your coolant? |
MotorGuru: 12:21pm On Apr 06, 2019 |
Newbreed2018: Perform tuneup: Spark plug change, engine air filter, EGR/ Throttle body cleaning. 250K miles is not beans. Also ensure that timing belt change has been performed (considering the mileage) USE GENUINE PARTS ONLY. |
Newbreed2018: 12:52pm On Apr 06, 2019 |
MotorGuru:Thank u so much. I'll try all of the above and see how it goes. |

Please my liberty Jeep 08 shows check engine on dashboard and after scanning we found out catalytic converter and O2 sensor needs to be replaced. I bought new ones and they were replaced. Fuel consumption reduced and no more noise from exhaust but the check engine signal is still on and three new lights are on which are service 4WD and I can’t change from 2WD to 4WD Plus the road traction signal which is obviously due to the 4WD system when I checked the manual. Please what’s the solution? The AC is not blowing as much as the Corolla I use what could be the cause as well? |
babyboy4every1: 4:03pm On Apr 06, 2019 |
MotorGuru:pls can i hav ur sent to [email protected] or 08039154846. Pls i need to talk to you. |

Hello Car guru, I have 2005 Honda accord, each time I engaged it to D it will start vibrating and if I remove it from D to N even with AC on it becomes normal.. Kindly advise me? I have changed all the engine seats...

babyboy4every1: 9:14pm On Apr 07, 2019 |
MotorGuru:i eventually found an engineer. He said, dere is a very high tendency for d car to start smoking if the valve stem seals is replaced. So therefore it must be ringed along side d valve stem seals replacement. How tru sir. |

Hello motorguru, thank you for outstanding . Pls I uses 2007 honda pilot with an issue of high fuel consumption, after scan it generated a code P0 172 and later generated another code, P0 430. Now the car no more accelerate faster as it use to. On P0 172, I've worked on the injectors and they are OK, checked for exhaust leakage and it's OK, I've not changed any sensor yet. Pls I need your assistance.

MotorGuru: 9:13am On Apr 08, 2019 |
efizyhenchmen: Recheck all engine seats. Ensure the ones replaced are originals and not Chinese clones. scan vehicle if there is any check engine mount and ensure that the active engine mount vacuum supply( located in front of engine ) is in good working order |
MotorGuru: 9:16am On Apr 08, 2019 |
Makawhizzy: Scan the vehicle for codes. for ac, check operation of condenser fans, ensure condenser is not blocked, check refrigerant charge. |
MotorGuru: 9:17am On Apr 08, 2019 |
babyboy4every1: he is recommending a complete overhaul of engine. the choice is yours sir. |
MotorGuru: 9:19am On Apr 08, 2019 |
Bright2: for the P0430, ensure your catalyst is not blocked. That can cause acceleration problems |
Bright2(m): 2:11pm On Apr 08, 2019 |
MotorGuru: Thank you for your reply, incase the catalyst is not blocked what else can I be looking at to solve this problem? |
