Motor Doctor diagnostic services - any one tried em yet?

[nyagi]

update lang mga sir...

car: Rav4 1st gen, A/T

Primary Problem(s): engine hesitation -- parang sinisinok pag binigla mo apak sa gas on idle or running
gas consumption -- running only on 6kms/liter; used to run on 7.5-8 city driving
engine / transmission power loss -- hirap umabot sa 3k rpm when running, shifting is not good as well

History: Ondoy victim; batteries were removed during Ondoy, everything cleaned and dried thoroughly (took more than a month to dry it out) specially electronic parts. all oils been through a lot of cycle, transmission went through transtech

the experience:
went to motor doctor last week hoping they can pin point what the car's problem is. dami ng suggestion on which one to fix and check. not that i trust my research, but the expense is a bit high if i follow all these things!

so i decided to go to motor doctor (MD). 1st tool na ginamit yung diagnostic tool nila. but walang error nakita. though may na observe sa diagnostic na kakaiba: fuel injectors width is not proportion sa rpm reading and throttle position is not showing correct reading (still at 5 degrees when 5k rpm and above).

next is to do compression test. all 4 are good.
then fuel pressure. still good.

so nilinis ang injectors and removed tps to check if cleanable. unfortunately, hindi nakuha sa linis ang tps. or hindi sya cleanable. so i have to order the part sa casa.

kanina lang kinabit ang bagong tps. then nag re-scan and ok na buga ng injectors and ok na din reading ng tps. havent tested thoroughly the car, yung problem pa lang sa hesitation ang nawala. so far, pag shift ko sa R or D, responsive na agad ang oto. unlike before na halos 2-3 seconds pa bago mag respond (meaning gagalaw mag isa pag di ka nakaapak sa gas).

will update ulit pag na sukat ko na fuel consumption ko and if shifting has changed. i'm hoping na maayos na lahat.


cost breakdown: 2.5k (diagnostic and minor troubleshooting)
1.5k (injectors pull down and cleaning)
2.4k (brand new TPS)

total: 6.4k <---- ouch!

Balak ko kasi dalin VTI ko na matic para ipa-check since i'm getting 6KM/L City driving.
