Davidkwame1234:

same with my deawoo matiz bought it some few months ago the alternator belt got turn and affected the valve and the alternator I got everything fixed but ever since then the fuel consumption of the car increased to much

Check your complete exhaust. There is something inside the exhaust attached in engine like biscuit. Once its damage the fuel will increase.ask panel bitter what I said.its costly though

Good day sir,

My Honda accord 1996 model automatic transmission was service some months back due to some faults, now whenever I try to reverse the car makes a loud noise before entering reverse gear, and when climbing up gets very difficult.
Please what is your advise.

If you are topping, then it is leaking. Find the leak.

Possible faults. Leaking radiator.

Bad pressure cap

Good day Experts in the house, what could be the possible cause for an Honda Accord 2003 V4 to jerk when the AC is on but goes back to normal when the AC is put off? This problem started, when the top gasket of the engine was changed.

Your catalyst is bad, have it replaced or install a spacer [img]http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRoH3QGY0hnGQ-zZ5lkWcmJoR2HR42oN8Zgc63hSYChp3mca508SKFAi8dO[/img] and your problems will be solved.

P.s I hope you don't have an exhaust leak?

Gazzuzz is it not better to first know if the ECM is giving a rich command that makes additional raw fuel get into the CAT, just changing the CAT might not be the best fix.

I’m having same issue for P0420 and P0430 and I’ve changed CAT and DTC’s persist. I can tell from my LTFT that it is taking fuel from the negative readings or am I wrong. I have seen a video on YouTube and the fix was the previous mechanic that installed the downstream oxygen sensors misplaced their positions. In my case I personally had all my sensors identified by tape with positions they were suppose to be boldly written on them, but my mechanic with his “you can’t teach me my job” mentality just mixed everything together and said all the plugs are not the same and no way you can make a mistake on this installation.

After seeing the YouTube video, I realised my mechanic was half right because the upstream oxygen sensors connectors are not the same but the downstream sensors are, so I am working on checking if the sensors are sitting in their right positions.

STFT Bank 2 at idle hovering between 2.34 to 7.81
STFT Bank 1 at idle hovering between 2.34 to 7.81 (I thought they should be close to zero as much as possible)

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by olaboy1: 8:45pm On Nov 02, 2017
Now take a look at my upstream sensors, they seem to be adding fuel as they graph longer at high voltage meaning the engine is leaning out giving a rich command to add fuel.

Upstream sensors should be fluctuating rapidly between 0.01-0.9v

I am almost done with my own smoke machine to test for vacuum leaks.

AC issue here please.l last week my AC was cooling at cold start but after about 1/2hr it stops cooling. Tech checked and found the radiator fan wasn't working,wiring ish so that was fixed.i insisted on normal connection no direct fan. Now the AC could be cooling now and stop anytime.by any time I mean the car can be on one spot and it will be chilli properly and I can be going 100km and it won't cool so there is no particular pattern to it . Tech said its the thermostat and recommended installing a manual thermostat. I just want 2nd opinion as I'm not too open to deviating from OEM setup. 05 Corolla cc Gazzuzz

If in 2017, you own a car and you dont have a portable diagnostic car scanner you can use for your car, then OYO is ur case o. Enough has been said about the immense benefits of having such a device. Also, because i have done the research which you may verify, i wouldnt advice bluetooth scanners, for the prime reason that obd was designed to be accessed 'locally', but bluetooth or wireless obd's bring with it the risk of remote access by other nearby bluetooth or wireless devices, unlike a phone where you can set limits to the discoverability. That being said, own an OBD scanner, scan ur cars, save your money, save your car, and save the heartbreak of leaving the fate of your car solely in a 'kazeems' hands. They are available for 16k and I can be reached on 08184733016, call or whatsapp. Cheers!
