Fidelis, however, refused and instead started looking for a solution to the problem. He took the car to his pastor, who offered prayers, but the situation did not stop.
He took it to a native doctor who also bathed the car with herbal leaves and concoctions, but the problem persisted.
The young man decided to look in another direction after failing to find a spiritual solution. He did research online.
He said:
"This time, I decided to make research online, I went to Google and from there to YouTube, that’s where I saw many cars and many people experiencing the same thing.
"The issue was simple, Some foreign cars from very cold clime embed a thermostat that triggers the engine to start when the temperature of the engine falls below a level so when the engine comes on, it warms the engine to avoid clogging of important parts.
"A research, a very simple research, cleared my doubt, and truly when I yanked off the thermostat system the intermittent turning on of the ignition stopped permanently."
Fidelis told Legit.ng that though he no longer uses the car, he still owns it.
