Sir Dieseldude,

Just had my 2002 Revo (195T kms) calibrated at Denso Westgate. Problem is it still emits a lot of black smoke. Although I feel power improved as well as consumption. History of the revo is it overheated. Had it overhauled. Changed pistons, rings, lining, valves. Do you think there was a problem in the calibration that's why there is still a lot of black smoke? I'm planning on sending it back to Denso though. Do I need to ask the mechanic or see that what he is doing is correct?

It would be unethical for me to comment on this. I recommend that you bring back your car to Denso and explain your situation. This will normally be covered by warranty.

Hello rossph,

Check your air and fuel filter. Pag nasakal ang makina sa hangin, uusok talaga ng itim ang kotse mo. Before sending it back, it's best to do this first.

Also, hatawin mo ang maneho pag napalitan mo yung filter para matanggal ang soot na natira sa exhaust. Kung hindi ito nababawasan, go back to the workshop for warranty repair; baka meron pang ibang problema, for example, turbo damage, leaking intercooler, old nozzles in injectors.

But, before proceeding with other repairs, be sure it is diagnosed properly by a competent workshop. and a guarantee from the workshop, na pag inayos ang diagnosed problem tanggal ang problema mo.

dear sir,

My car is a starex 2001 a/t. After my mechanic observed a leak from the injection pump (somewhere at the inner portion), he directed me to have it calibrated which i did. After then, the following i observed from the car:

1. vibrations (and humming sound) from 1st gear
2. noticeable gear changes delayed (above 2000 rpm)
3. not so responsive acceleration, have to hit the accelerator hard for it to gain power (especially at star-up)

these what i did:
1. already changed oil, air-filter, atf, clean strainer, fuel filter

recommendations of mechanics i consulted: change transmission and repair turbo

Prior to the calibration of the injection pump, i have no problem with the unit.

Are the recommendations correct?

Hi Sir,
I have a Sedona A/T 2002, my problem just started yesterday while cruising in the highway. noticed that when i reach 60KPH parang nabibilaukan yung van the RPM ups and down just like engine breaking (kumakadyot) nakakahilo tuloy . pero kapag 0 to 50+kph wala namang ganoong problem. Tried to press the hold button wala namang problem until i reach 100kph but the RPM is very high due to it is in 3rd gear only.
i think yung van is trying to shift to 4th. im encountering the problem even i press or not the accelerator.

Last na ginawa ko is i change the Fuel Filter and air filter.

May problem na po kaya yung injector ko? is it marumi/barado? or is there something to do with the pump?
Hindi nga po pala mausok yung van ko, no sign of black smoke.

hope matulungan nyo po ako...

Thanks in advance!

Last na ginawa ko is i change the Fuel Filter and air filter. Nagsimula ba ang problem after fuel/air filter replacement? Baka faulty ang installation, poor quality filter, or bad hose connections?

May problem na po kaya yung injector ko? is it marumi/barado? or is there something to do with the pump? Hindi nga po pala mausok yung van ko, no sign of black smoke. Mukhang wala naman problem ang fuel system mo. Recheck fuel filter installation. Baka nakakasipsip ng hangin.

hope matulungan nyo po ako...

Thanks in advance!

Mukhang wala naman problem ang fuel system mo. Recheck fuel filter installation. Baka nakakasipsip ng hangin. papacheck ko po kung may hangin di ko po kasi alam kung paano malalaman kung may hangin eh. Thanks and sana wala ngang problem yung fuel system ko.

Thanks in advance!

Maraming salamat po!

Sir DieselDude, Repost ko lang galing sa D4D woes. Sabi kasi nila doon, You can help me with my problem eh.

My experience with our innova.

Last month, nung nagdrive ako from NAIA to makati, ok pa naman. Then yung pa northbound na ng Roxas boulevard, as expected traffic kasi it was a sunday. Stop and go yung movement namin. Then bigla nalang namatay yung engine niya, not once but twice. Sabi ko nga sa driver namin the next day, parang bigla nalang nawalan ng supply ng fuel yung engine. Sabi niya buti nalang daw ako, sa kalsada lang namatayan ng engine, eh yung case niya, hanging pa tapos bigla nalang namatay yung engine. Buti nalang daw walang car sa likod. And parang nag-chchoke na yung makina niya simula nung pumunta kami sa tagaytay last october. And lumakas pa yung FC niya. And one time before nangyari yung engine shut-down case, pag cold start ko, bigla ang baba nung idle niya, parang mamamatay na pero nung pinalitan na ng fuel filter, sabi ng driver namin, hindi na daw ulit nangyari yun.

Ano kaya yung problem nung innova? Sabi kasi, papalitan lang yung SCV, ok na daw. Yun lang ba talaga yung problem or may mga gagawin pa ba? And mga magkano kaya yung gagawing repair para doon?


Some Information of our Innova
-Bought it 2006, but early 2006 so assuming 2005 model pa yun.
-Mileage-55-60k kilometers, not quite sure because it is driver-driven.
-Replaced the fuel filter in between 58k-59k kilometers

Send your starex back to the calibration shop for warranty repair.
