ok kamikaze.
Let me see if I can simplify this.
Use the phrase " ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE BY TURNING THE KEY TO START POSITION AND HEARING THE ENGINE TURN OVER" instead of the word "crank" in my previous post.
Maybe you can solve the issue.
Peace.

Tried that too.

This is a problem that I am living with for almost 4 years with my Fielder. On mornings.......one crank and the engine starts. Once the engine is hot, and was left off for about 10-15 minutes, it takes 2 or 3 cranks to start. If you switch off, then immediately re-start, no problem. Once the engine ...

I have a 2ZZGE Fielder Auto stock. No mods. Remember that the 2ZZ has lift control that comes in at around 6200rpm. (The ECU sends a signal to an oil control valve at the end of the camshaft that puts oil pressure behind a lock pin in the rocker arm, sliding the pin under the spring-loaded slipper f...

Here are some postings that are not mine to help us learn a little more about our vehicles. Right now, I have a friend with an Aqua. The LV battery is dead, barely accepting charge. Here is the big question: Can I replace AGM battery with a standard lead battery? Mathias Westerlund Mathias Westerlun...

Another reason to use the AC on your hybrid vehicle: A bit far-fetched, but real. Trinidad is a small island. As such, there is a small percentage of salt in the atmosphere at most locations in this country at all times, more so Tobago. Especially during the rainy season, there is an overload of moi...

Yes.
In agreement with previous posts.
You are not guaranteed 2 keys when you buy a roll-on roll-off vehicle.

Got a smartkey for my daughter Fielder Hybrid.......$2000.
Please be advised that the physical manual key inserted in the fob will not work in the doorlock. The cut is different.
Peace.

Once the battery in the smartkey is low or dead, the smartkey has to be placed near the Start/Stop pushbutton for the sensor there to communicate with the transponder in the smartkey. The lit key symbol on the dash is normal for that. The hybrid system and its ancillaries are different from a gasoli...

Within recent times, Japanese used-car dealers have been offering the Note E-Power. Read on. If you like the fuel efficiency of a compact hybrid car but you aren’t quite so fussed about the way the drivetrain performs, then the Nissan Note e-Power might be the solution for you. Words: Robert Barry. ...

Hello Folks, Of course, most of us are aware of the proliferation of Hybrid vehicles making (no pun intended) inroads in the traffic on our roads today. Yes, the established authorised dealers have joined the grey-market dealers to increase the sales of Hybrid vehicles in T&T. While it offers ex...

The car Toyota is selling as the Toyota Rush is actually a Daihatsu (a subsidiary of Toyota) made vehicle, especially for the south-east Asian market. It is sold as the Daihatsu Terios. There is no such car as yet in the Japanese Used-car market, both as Toyota Rush nor Diahatsu Terios. It is a bit ...

Ok gentlemen, I hear you. Trinidad, being a former commonwealth country, had a large population of English cars. Japanese came on stream in the early seventies, although Toyota must have entered in the late sixties. Trinidad became Datsun (later Nissan) country with the introduction of the 120Y. As ...

Nicknacks, The copper plugs have copper electrodes. Because copper is the second most conductive metal (between silver and gold), relatively cheap and pretty corrosive resistant, it makes for a good electrode. It is less susceptible to overheating in high performance engines as other type of plugs. ...

I can't say if the IRADIUM plugs you mention would help you. But Iridium plugs are especially noted for longest life. You can get 100,000kms on a set. This makes Iridium the most expensive spark plug. As to a performance plug, copper is the best but life is nowhere as Iridium. More importantly than ...

WHY IT IS BETTER TO RUN A/C WHILE DRIVING THE HYBRID. Lots of people (ever more so since the last budget) drive with the windows down, as "I doe like air condition". But, is it really so ? How come yuh doe complain about A/C when yuh in Royal Bank line for hours ? What about saving gas ? E...

If you know how the system is built, and operates it will help. There are folks out there who believe that no water should be intentionally used to clean an engine compartment, and will testify in court about the problems they, or other parties had when the engine was washed. I am not going to start...

Underwashing the vehicle should not be a problem. All HV cables are well insulated.
Immersing the car in water, ( read: driving the car through floodwaters) where migration of water into the cabin is a possibility is asking for trouble.

Most modern cars need to have the ignition on before the shifter can be moved. Too, you need to depress the brake. Check to see if the brake switch is working. Put the ignition on, step on the brake and let someone see if the brake light is coming on at the rear of the car. Too, there is a solenoid ...

ABSENCE OF A TRANSMISSION COOLER. In the Prius, the smaller radiator is also used to cool the transmission via an external transmission cooler. So the coolant passes through that cooler also. The Aqua, Axio and Fielder has no such cooler. Internally, in the Transaxle, there is a trochoidal oil pump ...

This is not from an electrical engineer's standpoint. It is penned for the new owner of a Hybrid to learn some about his car. I am subject to correction. UNDERSTANDING THE HV SYSTEM IN THE TOYOTA HYBRID. The idea of a Hybrid vehicle having a 12V (LV) battery, as well as a HV battery pack triggers th...
