^Agree. IIRC medyo high mileage na ang unit? Perhaps you can do a radiator overhaul. Another would be to check if the fans are working. Once I noticed my right side fan wasn't working. Mechanic said it contributed to the early demise of the AC magnetic clutch too.

Question din sirs: on the drive pansin ko na biglang tumaas yung idle speed from 800 rpm to 1k rpm. When stepping on the brake it goes back to 800 (whether in gear or neutral). Mejo weird, pag naka preno ka 800 ang idle pero pag bibitawan yung brake aakyat sa 1k. All conditions yun kahit naka neutral and stopped or in drive and coasting.

Ang nangyari lang is kinailangan ma stencil yung engine number so para ma sikwat, inangat yung parang crossbar na humahawak sa hood latch saka nag stabilize ng fans. Tapos pansin ko na i parada sya ng naiwan sa neutral instead of park so nai start ko sya ng nka neutral.

Parang feeling ko may na tabig na plug or something sa kaka dukot nila. Any other suggestions or theories?

Thanks!

This car's engine number is really a bitch to stencil. [emoji23] The stencil guys at LTO bitched and moaned quite loudly about it. No such thing happened though when I had ours stenciled. In fact the idling is pretty even.

Perhaps you can have it checked by your suking mekaniko or a diesel center if its beyond his capabilities.

You know guys na I just recently purchased this Carnival 2011 second hand and napa notary ko na kahit naka OPEN DEED of sale sya sa original na may ari at kahit expired na yung signed Governent ID nya.

What should I do next para matransfer sya sa name ko? I know I can google it but of cousre baka may alam kayong mas madaling way or place to go para di hassle sa pag transfer.

Okay lang ba kahit next year ko na sya ipatransfer bago mag renew ng registration or kailangan agad agad after ma notary?

Update:

Ok na, checked under the hood and saw 3 unplugged wires. Nadurog yung socket nung male connectors, so ni connect ko na lang sa female tapos balot ng tape.

Pag start nag idle ng 1k rpm for 10-12mins tapos nag settle down to 800 rpm. I test drove it, stayed in 800 rpm til now, so far so good.

Not sure kung ano yung wires na yun and for what. 3 wires in the socket located in front of the engine under the fuel rail.

Thanks!

I'm no legal expert but was the ID expured already by the time the deed of sale was executed? If not, I don't think there would be any opportunity for nitpicking. AFAIK all that are needed are the notarized deed of sale, original OR/CR, police clearance and emission test.

And then again, one of our vehicles had the name transfer just recently despite acquisition last year. One of two IDs (driver's license) was already expired by the time of acquisition. Our friend in LTO didn't raise any stink about it.

^Hindi naman electronically operated ang fuel filler door button natin diba? Perhaps may naputol or natanggal sa kable?

On a side note, I had Revive Cleaning done on our Carnival (2010 model with 70tkms mileage) at Central Diesel today, and boy was I impressed with the improvement! Before, the best I can describe was that it felt lazy or pigil. Very little response up to 3/4 throttle, and then all out power on the remaining 1/4 throttle, as if there was this narrow pipe that all that power has to come out of and it needed a lot of effort to get it all out. I took it to Clark, Pampanga last 27-29. Throttle input was well over 50% just to maintain 100km/h, but in reality rpm was only around 1700. Full power wasn't really gone at full throttle, or else it wouldn't have measured 145whp stock and 173whp tuned on Speedlab's dyno. The Revive procedure felt like a well needed unclogging that dramatically improved throttle response and power delivery. Here's to hoping that there would be improvements in FC as well. Definitely well recommended for higher mileage vehicles, especially those that spend most of their time in city driving. Also had this done on our '07 Santa Fe (77tkms) and '97 Granvia (172tkms) with very good results, but this one is by far the most noticeable.

Yung saken sir seems to be electronic, may fuse sa panel sa likod. Buo pa naman yung fuse, so im going to eventually check the button on the door. Hassle lang pag papa gas ka hahatakin mo pa yung sa likod para bumukas haha
