Hi All, I own a honda fit gp1 2012 model which has an ODO of 62,000km. Couple of days ago it suddenly started to indicate the check engine light. We did few scans, one even from St#fford M#tors. All scans indicated that there's a malfunction in Oxygen sensor. Stafford recommended to replace it straight away asked me a ridiculous amount to replace. I took it to a different well known garage and did replace both sensors but yet it keeps indicating the check engine light. A scan would still indicate the same error as previous. Then we replaced the Air filter package. Still the check engine light would not go away. Once the error is erased by the scanner it would start to re-appear again in few minutes after engine turned off and started. Garage now suggested to do a Tune up with cleaning all injectors etc.. Has anyone else faced this kind of a issue before? What would be the cause for this. Also to tell you same day this started to appear I got someone to replace a bulb in the front. It was the right side bulb of the hazard warning lights. Apparently the guy has tried a wrong bulb and a fuse went off causing both lights to non functioning. He then somehow put the fuse back on and fixed the lights with the correct bulb. I actually didn't thought of that far of the replacement and causes of it since that was just a changing a bulb. Could this be any where close the reason for the check engine light? Because it came up only after few mins of replacing the bulb. I know that was just changing a bulb and a fuse . But it came only after that. yet the scanner keeps showing O2 sensor as the error.

Hi, My car (Suzuki Alto K10 2011) suddenly stopped when I am driving. Felt like there's a petrol block or something. Then I tried to start only starter motor is running. When the key is in the on position , check engine light, immobilizer key light is not lighting. Checked all the relays and fuel pump everything is fine. Scanned through OBD2 aswell. It shows immobilizer error. But everything is fine there. Electrician says something wrong with the ECU and want to check it with another k10. Unfortunately still couldnt find a another k10. Do you guys have any idea about this? Any experience?

Hi Auto Lovers, I need your help. Im having a Toyota Allion 260 2013 model. Yesterday car got stalled after going through a water puddle. Road was having water for about 3-4 inches and I went through the water for about 100M's. When I took a turn there was a water puddle where it had about 1ft - 11/2ft depth for about 5 meters. Soon after I passed it, I lost acceleration. Then brakes dropped too. Then I stopped the engine and cranked again. still no acceleration and brakes were not up to the usual standard. In few seconds the CHECK ENGINE warning popped and I stopped the engine. Now I cant start my engine. It cranks but cuts off immediately. Please advice me why this is happening and advise some remedies. Thank you All!

Hi, I own a 2010 Hilux Vigo 3L cab. I was travelling down to Colombo from Matara via southern Expy and my speed was about 100 Kmph. I went behind a passenger bus for about 5-10 min and wanted to overtake the bus since it's blocking my view and that's kinda annoying. So I pushed my cab about 110-115 Kmph and suddenly I felt a power drop (lost some pulling power). When I checked the dashboard, I noticed that the "check engine" warning popped up. I again backed up to the left lane and tried several times pushing the gas but the vehicle is not responding to the level I push the accelerator. Then I reached to the Welipanna Service Area and switched off the engine and checked for any oil leakages or any unusual smells coming out (from wire shorts etc). But couldn't find anythin wrong. So I started the engine after about 10 minutes and noticed that the check engine warning was disappeared. Then I checked the status of the pulling power at some vacant area of the car park and it was came back to normal. Then I started my journey again and the vehicle was behaving normal and the previous pulling power was restored. Tried up to 140Kmph and had no issue. What I wanted to ask from the experts here is, I suspect something went wrong with my Turbo and came back to normal. Is anyone out there who experienced such issue? Can there be any other reason causing sudden power drops like this? Thanks in Advance Kasun W

Dear AL Friends I am in struggle with an issue on my Allion 240,hope expert AL members will give better solution to escape from this problem.... Here i list my scenario 1. Yesterday after few miles run i saw oil leakage on engine bay. after investigation it is near oil control valve then i saw it to mechanic and he remove OCV , and sealed with 999 sealant. And also inform me to use water pump and clean previous oil leak areas( not engine area) 2. Then i travel to home without any issue and cleaned oil leak area from water pump and paste 999 sealant near ocv value area thoroughly. 3. Then after few minutes travelling Check Engine bulb start blinking. then i removed battery wire(-) around 20 mins and start. Then Check Engine bulb goes off. Again i start driving another 20 mins it shows again. 4 . Then i went to mechanic again and scan. it shows VVT system malfunction error, then he erased it and after another 20 mins driving engine lights ON. I notice after 10-20 mins driving that light blink after i search forums i found two reasons. 1. OCV issue 2. VVT sensor issue My dear AL friends what will be the issue behind this..Hope u all help me Thanks

Hi Guys, I have a toyota carina AT192 car. While i was driving 10kms suddenly check engine is indicated and car was stopped. Then I had to drag the car to a garage. then they attached a scanner and scanner indicates "Ignition system" and they said i need to replace the distributor. then I bought a distributor and attached it to the car and they replaced one of relays. garage people drived the car for around 6 kms and then that problem did not come back. after 3 days, again when i was driving the car for 2 kms, again the same problem occurred. then garage people attached my previous distributor back and checked. they brought the spark plug wire to top and spark plug wire is sparked some times but some times it does not. then they removed the computer box and checked. some capacitors are overflowed and computer circuit board has brown color patches there. then they asked me to replace those capacitors. still that replacing capacitors is in progress. so please tell me what would be the actual issue and what should i do for this issue? thanks in advance

Hellooo Guys, Its been some time since I have posted a problem. My friend has a Elantra 2000 model and its has not been in a good running condition since i have known. Its milage is somewhat lower than usual. He is not much of a car guy and he has been taking it to every one suggested anything and spent heaps and still having the problems. Hope you guys will have some answers on this. I am really keen to help him on this. Ok. Here is the problem. 1) It has a starting problem. in Cold start first time starts for a second and stalls. Then second time it starts fine. 2) there is a vibration after starting and in few seconds it somes to a decent idle state. 3) The big problem started yesterday when it was drving fine but suddenly stopped. It was hard to start. Even when started there is a huge shake and sounds like its working on 3 cylinders. There is a major loss in power also. Hear indicator is normal but the interior keeps up heating (I do not know if this is related to the latter problem). 4) In the above case the RPM rarely go above 2000 and the "Check Engine" light keeps flashing. Can you guys please give me an idea to start with this ??? Thanx......

Hi all, I have an accent 2000 1500cc manual car. Three weeks back check engine indication appeared but nothing was unusual.But i wanted to get it scanned and after scanning (error codes were P0444 & P0422) got to know that It was someting to do with the purge valve, which was then cleaned by a mechanic at a leading gurage in nugegoda. After doing everything light didnt come up for about another 100km+.Again the light appeared after about 100km,still nothing was unusual. when the car was taken to the same gurage a different mechanic without scanning cleaned the Air flow sensor and erased the code by removing the battery terminals. This incident happened a week ago. Apparently on today again the light appeared after about another 150-160km. Could anyone advise what could be done to rectify this issue. (still nothing is unusual on the car).
