In addition to what GAZZUZZ suggested, i think you should do oil pressure test to be sure oil pump works. If this is bad, your engine will be dead soon if you continue driving.

My ogas... Please my honda eod 2005's V6 engine rattles and drags at lower gears... It also rattles when stationary. At higher gears, the rattling and dragging is still present but reduced. What could be the cause?? If you were standing in front of the car, the noise seems to come from the left of the engine... Thanks in advance.

My ogas still waiting for a response. Thanks.

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.

My people, how una dey? Abeg I need some advice from the gurus. I took my car (2008 accord coupe) for a spray job with no issues. Only to get it back with a difficult issue. The 'D' light blinks from the moment I turn the key to ignition and when driving. The car shift perfectly. Scanned it with my low cost scanner and it came up with no error codes, tried with a good scanner and got U0122 - FCAN something something which I believe is the VSA or so. What could possibly make the D-light blinks? I only asked the electrician to fix my fog light.
Checked the tranny oil and it's intact.

U = Network Code (wiring Bus)
0 = Generic OBD Code defined by SAE
1 = Fuel and Air Metering
22 = Specific Code for the Exact problem of this ride, we need to consult the code books to tell us what/which circuit and component is at fault
which yields the following information:

(SAE definition): Lost Communication With Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) Module
Honda Definition: F-CAN malfunction - ECM/PCM to VSA modulator control unit)

In summary:
Wiring Fault

To fix requires access to vehicle wiring diagram, get a mechanic who is comfortable with electrical/electronic issues and troubleshooting that follows manufacturer guidelines for a fit and proper fix

Tip: Quick-Fix since you said the vehicle just came back from the spray shop


They might have:

1. damaged the 2 pin connector shown in the picture above
OR
2. failed to reconnect firmly after completing the work you gave them.

Untrained mechanics/auto service professionals do not realize just how important it is to pay attention to wires and connectors (electrical and electronics)

Was this vehicle involved in an accident?


If that don't work, then you will have to pay for more heavy duty troubleshooting!

GAZZUZZ:



a rodent ate somthing

Flyingman:


Oh God, are people this dumb? Do you believe I spent my whole Saturday with the mumu electrician troubleshooting this issue. Just popped up my hood and went straight to this location. Found out the wiring harness from the right side of the engine compartment wasn't connected to the left that's leading to the ECU/PCM. Connected the long 2 pin connector(C201) and the blinking is gone. Thanks so much. I truly appreciate.

I seriously need help with my Honda CRV 04. When i am driving, sometimes i observe that the car is not moving as fast as it should be when i throttle down ( its like something is holding the tyre back) when i stopped to observe the tyres. i noticed that the front right tyre was very very hot compared to the other tyres.
I took to car to a mechanic, i was introduced to and the guy said the master break was bad, i had to change that only to discover that the same issue happened again.
latest discovery is that, each time i notice the dragging and put off the ignition and put it back on, the dragging disappears and the car is free to drive well. This dragging doesnt happen everyday. i have been using the car that way, but scared that one day the ignition off and on trick might fail me.
advice needed please.

Got an Aux adapter for my 2006 Honda Accord, after being excited and all that I can play any song straight from my phone I got the dreaded Alternator Whine sound when the vehicle is on, can't even hear the songs clearly, does anyone have a solution?

Kjnwancaro:



By Aux adapter do you mean car MP3 you plug on the cigar socket? If that's it then the device Is probably faulty.
