Greetings my car listed above k12 model. It's giving me some issues, it was loosing power when moving then the radiator got damaged. So I took it for diagnosis they said I need to buy throttle sensor, pedal sensor and temperature sensor. I got a pedal sensor and some one cleaned the throttle sensor and repaired the radiator but it moved for a day then when going a bit up hill it makes a funny sound and and shut off. Then the radiator got damaged again the temperature is high. how best can I solve this problem?

Hello,

Is your check engine light currently on?
If so do you know the codes?
I have attached a video showing how to retrieve the codes.
After you get the codes please let me know what they are and we will see what it might be.

I think the good first step would be to scan the vehicle for the trouble codes. After you get the codes, please let me know what they are.

Hello,

Are you talking about the throttle body? or the throttle position sensor?
Either way you should not have oil on it.
Can you upload a picture?

Also what are the codes for the engine light?
Thanks

Hi Rich Isaac,

We need to keep each post to one topic so that others that have the same issue will be able to find them. They will not be able to find them under different topics.

So let us know what you find with checking for codes and then if you have another issue, let's get that started on a new post. Thanks.
