kaecy5: you are just a bleeped up dreamer. i know u dont have a bicycle.

even when you drive a V6 crosstour, because of the body size you feel the car drives empty, the engine is not in control of the body. there is this drag and lack of power you experience. unlike the power you feel driving a V6 Accord or even an I4 car.

More Tips - when u hear occasional right front side noise don't be too in a hurry to change shocks, ball joint, combination bushing. most times it is your right Engine seating that is worn and u wont know cos there is a rubber cover over it. the simple way to check is shake you engine if it moves then it is engine seating. cos a good engine seating would not allow your engine rock when u shake it.

RICHIE BOI: Transmission gear oil gauge. this should be checked too and topped if its short. The radiator water should also be checked in the morning before starting the car.

Harbb: This is a nice thread.
I have a baby boy. of late it started showing me "maintenance Req'd" on the dashboard. It started with flashing this maintenance req'd until its permanently ON now. When it started, I thought it needed servicing. I did the servicing including checking the plugs and the nozzles, but the indicator won't go off. I hate seeing that indicator. Any hint on what to do next?

lacasa: Hello all,

i drive a. 2k5 honda accord, ii αve a problem.

While i'm driving i notice dat after i slow down or wen i want ϯo re-accelerate sometimes, the engine vibrates (shakes) until i lift my foot off the throttle completely, bt wen i put my foot back on the throttle it moves normally.


i thought it was the spark plugs causing this, but i've changed the 4 plugs with new ones but it still does same.

a mechanic said it's probably from the fuel pump.

Any ideas wat it is

dougivilla: Pls check d fuel pump or injector nozzles or d injector itself. Regards

Check your engine mountings (especially the front & back), also ask your mechanic to examine your shaft cups for wears, this is the inner end of the completet shaft that is plunged into the gear box on both sides, if your car does not stall or jerk on acceleration, then it cannot be fuel pump.

kaecy5: @olajide

please kindly explain more i did not quite get what you are saying.

now for every one, if u are driving at up to 100Km/hr or 120km/hr and above and when u hit the brakes u feel the vibration on the steering almost caring your hand away

well i am afraid to tell u that lack of regular change of brake pad or use of fake brake pad have bent ur drive disk, u may have to change the front disk. a little bit expensive sha, and make sure u look for the original brake pad which of course is difficult to find

olajide_07:
No it doesn't happen when I am at that speed, but during the rise to that speed. I just touched/shook it had to jerk it up and it shaking would get into the workshop soonest

numen: My Maintenance Tips:

1.) Change Engine Oil every 3000km (I use Mobil)
2.) Use Oando's Dexron II for the Gear Box (Abro will knock your gear) - (already mentioned)
3.) While driving be mindful not to always turn the steering to the last possible angle(helps the shaft)
4.) If you have an open roof, periodically clean the drainage hole to avoid water leaking into the car
5.) Vibrating Sound infront of the car? Check your engine sitting(already mentioned)
6.) Your single pipe radiator which used to work might not be the cause of your current over-heating...Check your water pump!
7.) Your car is not accelerating according to pedal pressure? Timing Belt might be the culprit.

Just my 2cents guys. Hope this helps someone. I luv this thread like I luv my Honda.

bigfat01: true talk

webmastern: Very nice thread.

My 99 accord transmission behaves thus:
Gear selection works fine but when I hit 60km and upwards and maybe approaching a bump or traffic light, at the point of bringing the car to a stop to enable me climb the bump or stop at the traffic light, i get this heavy jack only once. Changed all engine seats and tranasmission fluid severally to no avail. Mech says to change the transmission. Any suggestions Thanks.
