It's not knocked. Does it crank?
If it does, check if the car has sparks and fuel is entering the injectors. If it's missing any of these, it won't start.

My TOYOTA SIENNA 2014
My gear delays when shift to drive (D) for some seconds.
During the morning time, delay is in fewer seconds but when movement has been made the time delays increases. Sometimes it becomes difficult to engage.
but when it’s engage there are no delay in the transmission process. It drives smoothly.

When shift to (R) reverse. It engages at normal time.
There is no problem with R engagement.

Good evening house
I use kia sorento 2017 I noticed the Exhaust tail pipe have black carbon please what could cause it and what do I need to check

Guare27:
Good day all,
I have a Lexus rx330 that was having gear issues and I changed it recently
The issue I’m experiencing now is that when I start it in the morning to drive it works perfectly but after driving for like 10min and the engine gets hot it refuses to enter gear and when I step on the accelerator it only Revs but doesn’t move
After letting it cool again it works perfectly and but the same issue occur after a while

Spoke to the gear master that worked on the gear and he said that the issue is calibration(which I’m yet to even understand) since it’s 13pin

I need help and I want to ask if any one has an idea of the issue or what gear calibration is if that’s a thing.
Thanks

Please me. This is as a matter of urgency. 08065166658

Have you scanned the car transmission?

You should also check quantity, colour and smell of transmission fluid.

Check thermostat, check radiator for blockage and cap for proper sealing. If all is fine, change head gasket.

good day guys, my lexus es330 is overheating. the mechanic suggested that the thermostat has issues that i should remove it but i don't want to remiove it even though he told me that's how he fixed his 2.4 camry when it was overheating that it might also be a water pump issue. have anyone here experienced this and how did you fix it?

If your thermostat is bad, replace it.

Hello all.

Sometimes when I park my 2006 Corolla after using the a/c, if I want to start it again it doesn’t respond. I have to wait for 10-30 minutes before it can start.
This doesn’t happen when I don’t use the a/c.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can fix this issue?

When you say it doesn't start how do you mean?
Also did you do any recent job on the AC system

Yhe AC installed is higher than normal ,hence adding very big load on the engine.return the useless converted ac and buy the original follow come,be it manual or auto..

There are many reasons why your car is overheating. I will stick to the most common reason particularly for naija car owners ......


Coolant. I can be bet 100k that you are using water instead of coolant in radiator. The purpose of coolant is to keep the engine cool at a running temperature to prevent overheating. When using water it boils and can't cool the engine down properly.

Using water instead of coolant,might not cause damage right away, but as time goes on the damage will show it's ugly face. This damage will affect the radiator, water pump and most importantly the engine. It will can damage your gasket easily....

The simple solution here is to use original coolant that is compatible for your car. At this rate it is too late to use coolant. You will need to replace whatever is damaged and replace them. Hopefully your gasket is still in good shape.

This to avoid.... Please ignore removing the thermostat. It is there for a reason. Anyone removing thermostat of car needs to be shot and ban from operating or fixing a car.....

Please avoid anyone telling you to buy double cell radiator. Using original coolant that cost around 35k would have saved you time and money. Now you have to spend at least 60k or more to fix the problem.

For your coolant we are your service. This will only be useful once you have done the needful by fixing the car ...

Before I can supply you coolant. You will need to fix issues causing your radiator to leak...

Due to years of abuse your radiator might need to be replaced. corrosion and rust might of damage the radiator. Also you have to check the water pump to make sure it is still working. And also check for hoses for leaks or plugged due to particles. Check your gasket to make sure nothing is burnt... And most importantly your thermostat. Make sure all these things are working they way it should work .. failure to check all those things buying coolant will be waste of time and money... Coolant is supposed to prevent all these things that I mentioned and not fix ....

Once you can figure it out , I will be more than happy to send you the coolant. We ship outside Lagos, to even sokoto.
We are always at your service.......
