Hi
actually problem was the bad spark plugs, my technician changed all the spark plugs, now car is running smoothly.but i didn’t run even 2000 Km with my old plug set if I’m not mistaken, why my spark plugs are going bad so often ? could it be something to do with my faulty secondary o2 sensor ?

thanks

Hi guys,
I went to a work shop and they serviced the Radiator and added coolant, replaced the radiator cap too.so far everything is OK.

:unsure: now there’s a new problem, my check engine light is flashing time to time while driving.(my Check engine light was anyway on bcoz of a bad (secondary O2 sensor) )

any idea why check engine light is flashing? also I’m experiencing a rough/low ideal.

Thanks

“Also, just because you have a code for an O2 sensor that does not mean the O2 sensor is bad. There are SEVERAL codes for O2 sensors and not all of them indicate a problem with the sensor. Many of them indicate a rich or lean condition that has nothing to do with the sensor. Don’t assume just because you have a code for something it means that part is bad. You must confirm and diagnose in order to know for sure”

Then I’m getting a check engine sign? I checked several times with a ODB meter and its giving the same code pointing the secondary 02 sensor. so where could be the problem ?

regarding the overhearing issue I’m planing to burp my radiator 😛 :cheer: someone said there can be air in my system and in order to get the air out i have burp the system.don’t know that will work or not.Anyway I’m gonna give a try.coz every time i open my radiator cap i see small bubbles.

Eric you guys are doing a superb job.I learnt alot from this forum Thanks for that
Cheers

Thanks Tomh for the quick reply.
Yeh there was a problem withe the radiator cap earlier and I replaced the cap. Earlier couldn’t drive more than 2-3 kms but after replacing the cap there’s a improvement now i can drive 30-40 without a problem.

***could it be the head gasket or any other seal ?
but i have been using car like this for almost 1-2 years now, if its the gasket would it be possible to drive like this ?(30-40kms) for such a long time?

**** I got checked both fans.. their RPM is fine

***Note. Since there’s be a heating issue (coolant level drops ,i have to fill the radiator every week or so) so my entire radiator is filled with tap water . :unsure:
