Congratulations !! @Abdul Basit Khan -
Hi Fredric, I did my servicing from Al Nahda Auto, Ras al khor. Actually there was one more issue (which I didn't mention b4) - after the injector cleaning & Spark plug repl. -> I started getting a slight delay in starting the engine from cold - that is, the engine cranked 2-4 seconds extra, before switching on. But this happened only when the car was resting for 12 hrs/overnight (not during when car was switched on, when it was in use). When I went to them a third time, yesterday, they cleaned fuel injector again -> & the delayed start problem went away (though it has only been a day) Regarding the error code -> I didnt catch what it was (that was stupid of me) I dont want to go back to them again - as they seem a bit clueless. (I am not sure if u are allowed but) if you can advise an alternate garage for me, that would be great (you can whatapp me on+971 502949628) Also, I did some research - from the below video, it seems, this is a common issue in toyota/lexus - because of faulty fuel cap - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgUvPQg310E&ab_channel=TheDocMackCarChannel Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Hi All, I have a 2.7L SWB Prado (2016) & I have completed 4 off road-drives with carnity (no other off-roading done on this car, prior to this - I am the 1st owner). A month back I had done servicing of my car - which also included Spark Plug replacement & fuel injector cleaning. After 2 weeks (my wife was driving), suddenly she noticed that "VSC Off" & "Check Engine" Lights are ON. Because of which the car was not revving beyond 2000 RPM. I immediately took the car to the same garage - they ran the OBD & said the code came back pointing to the "Secondary Air Injector" - however it was evident they didn't seem sure. They did some cursory checks & when they restarted the car -> the lights went away 😐. They weren't able to explain why it exactly happened - but said "there is no problem - don't worry, u drive on" Fast forward to today - (again my wife was driving 🤨) on starting the car - the 2 lights ("VSC Off" & "Check Engine") came on. And car was not revving more than 2000 RPM. On her way to next stop (after an hour), when she started the car again - the LIGHTS WENT OFF on its own (& car became alright again) Can anyone please advise - what should I do?

@GauravNeed your input on buying a tire deflator & gauge (have gone through the articles/forums here, but its still a bit confusing) Option 1 - https://www.aceuae.com/en-ae/autoplus-tire-deflator-w/gauge/924864.html Option 2 - https://www.aceuae.com/en-ae/bushranger-3-in-1-tire-gauge-and-deflator/204948.html Or if u think, above are a waste of money - pls suggest what you have in mind. Also, regarding inflators - I dont want to purchase one right now (maybe after a couple of drives). Just wanted to confirm, if there would be a Gas Station, at the end of the trip - so I can inflate my tires there.
