Re: Ask Seun by Nobody: 11:25am On Mar 17, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ:Hello Seun. My Honda CRV (2003 model), consumes too much fuel... The fuel consumption is very abnormal. I was told to change oxygen censors & catalyst. I have changed these severally and it keeps getting worse. Pls what is the solution to this problem? |
Re: Ask Seun by oluwaseunla(m): 11:26am On Mar 17, 2018 |
obrigado080: Vehicle may need a tune up, intake leak may be involved etc. Diagnosis will be required. Is the check engine light on? If yes, you need to pull codes. |
Re: Ask Seun by Nobody: 11:32am On Mar 17, 2018 |
oluwaseunla:The engine light isn,t on. The last mechanic I met diagnosed it. He said the consumption was at 1.6, and he dropped it to 1.4 which reduced the vehicles performance (acceleration). What do u mean by "tune up" & "pull code"? |
Re: Ask Seun by oluwaseunla(m): 11:54am On Mar 17, 2018 |
obrigado080: Pull codes: plug in a scanner and check for codes. Check fuel trims while at it. I hope the oxygen sensors installed are the exact ones for the vehicle. Tune up: Check fuel pressure, fuel filters and injectors for deposits. Check spark plugs for wear and spark gaps. Check coils. Check air filters. Inspect intake for leaks. You know the works. Meanwhile, I don't understand the bolded. |
Re: Ask Seun by Nobody: 12:04pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
oluwaseunla:The bolded is exactly what he told me he did. He said he used his device to adjust it from the brainbox... Thank you for the info, I will try again... 1 Like |
Re: Ask Seun by oluwaseunla(m): 12:06pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
obrigado080: I doubt the above is possible. Do you know which device he used? Are the oxygen sensors for the car? |
Re: Ask Seun by ultrazone(m): 12:12pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
Please suggest a good scanner that work for most vehicles..what's the cost? How much is the engine and gear of hyundai ix35 2012? What are the major issues with this model? |
Re: Ask Seun by Nobody: 12:18pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
oluwaseunla:I would ask him and get back to you... |

oluwaseunla: Is there a way to scan transmission on its own different from the normal scan? |

Bros, where is ur location. |

Re: Ask Seun by Nobody: 10:24pm On Mar 17, 2018 |
Hi Oluwaseunla, My mechanic just finished some repair work on my car. Now, it makes a high pitch sound on cold start. I took it back to him today but he still couldn't fix it. What could be the cause? This screeching noise only happens on cold start. I'm looking forward to your response. Thanks |
Re: Ask Seun by justifiedcoyy(m): 12:18am On Mar 18, 2018 |
buoda Seun, I just wan ask, u fit check ( Diagnose) fairly used car if person wan buy? and tell if it's good or not. I want to get a fairly used Toyota corolla and I don't want to buy "problem ". |
Re: Ask Seun by Kufie(m): 1:04am On Mar 18, 2018 |
Oluwaseunla please where your office located? I can't describe how my AC behaves in text. |
Re: Ask Seun by oluwaseunla(m): 9:35am On Mar 19, 2018 |
double0seven: In that particular vehicle, it's thesame scan. Then the transmission related codes are considered. |

Re: Ask Seun by tjsadiq(m): 4:11pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
I have a gear issue with my corolla 05. when the car is stationary for a while (eg in traffic), it will refuse to drive after awhile, then jerks when I pump the accelerator further to force it to move. I was told by a kazeem that I have to replace the gear entirely. I scanned the vehicle, and this is the codes P0420 and P2716. any suggestion? |
Re: Ask Seun by oluwaseunla(m): 5:10pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
tjsadiq: P2716: Pressure Control Solenoid 'D'. What is the level and condition of the transmission oil? What is the history of transmission oil replacement? Modified: 05-08 Corolla and Matrix has a recall to address the ECM issues of those particular models. The issue will give the type of transmission issue you described. A part of the recall statement goes thus: "On vehicles equipped with the 1ZZ-FE engine and two-wheel drive, there is a possibility that a crack may develop at certain solder points or on the electronic component used to protect circuits against excessive voltage (varistor), on the ECM’s circuit board. In most cases, if a crack occurs at certain solder points or on certain varistors, the check engine may illuminate, harsh shifting could result, or the engine may not start. In limited instances, if cracking occurs on particular solder points or varistors, the engine could stop while the vehicle is being driven". If above is the issue, there will be a need to resolder specific points on the ECM to resolve the issue. You need someone to inspect the ECM to be sure if this is the case. Second code is not transmission related. |
Re: Ask Seun by oluwaseunla(m): 5:18pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
ultrazone: Most generic scanners will work fine for private use. Check online for prices. Prices will be dependent on type of scanner. Not sure about the price of engine and transmission right now, but you are likely going above half a mil for engine alone. No serious issues I know of. Although, i've heard a few people report rear camber issues on that model. |
Re: Ask Seun by ultrazone(m): 5:56pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
oluwaseunla:Thanks. I'm grateful. |
Re: Ask Seun by oluwaseunla(m): 6:28pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
ultrazone: Welcome sir. |
Re: Ask Seun by oluwaseunla(m): 6:41pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
Cretaceous: Sound will have to be listened to, to be sure. It could be a lot of things. Take vehicle to a technician. |
Re: Ask Seun by thebigkendo(m): 8:42pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
Oluwaseunla My car(06 accord) went off on me.. With a clicking sound from within the ECM area and instrument cluster light blinking along with the clicking sound.. Scanned & got P0685 ECM/PCM power relay control circuit/ open...Car went into limp mode.. Managed it home like that, the scenerio happen four times before I got home, How do I access the ECM/PCM relay? Cc GAZZUZZ luvinhubby timifakay NB- I Disconnected the main fuse and place back.. Car has been driving fine, I still want to check/test the ECM/PCM relay |
Re: Ask Seun by timifakay(m): 10:13pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
thebigkendo: I hope this helps: http://www.autogenius.info/honda-accord-2006-fuse-box-diagram/amp/ #8 in the diagram found in the link... |
Re: Ask Seun by thebigkendo(m): 10:29pm On Mar 19, 2018 |
timifakay: Thanks but I am actually looking for a relay.. I have checked the fuse 8, it's is good |
Re: Ask Seun by thebigkendo(m): 12:10am On Mar 20, 2018 |
thbigkendo: Found the what i was looking for, R4(fuel pump relay) was the problem,coil resistance was around 56ohms, Should be above 120ohms. Temporary fix: Swapped it with R3(Accessories relay), pending when I get a replacement.

oluwaseunla: ****I checked the level of transmission oil this morning and it needs guaging. However, I had experience the code P2716 around November last year. My car would jerk forward while driving. I was asked to change the ECU (45K) to solve the bad solenoid problem. However, the check light still persisted, although the jerking reduced a bit. But now, it jerks and drag (doesnt enter gear swiftly). in addition to the code P2716, I now have a defected catalyst issue. |
Re: Ask Seun by oluwaseunla(m): 12:42pm On Mar 20, 2018 |
tjsadiq: Fill up transmission with the right oil. Do not overfill. Clear codes and observe. When ECU was changed and check light persisted,was vehicle rescanned? If yes, what was the code? |
