The codes are for Oxygen sensor and ABS sensor.
Although the codes are appear confusing `cos Honda OBD codes are something like P---(four digit numbers), but from your code meanings, it is for Bank 1 sensor 1 and right wheel ABS sensor.

Hi all,

I would like to introduce a product for all Honda accord/civic users (accord 2003 - 2009).
It is actually a "key cover" that serve quite a number of purpose as shown below;

(1) It protects the panel in the key when it falls down (anti-shock); this ensure it has limited effect on the panel (Its rubber made)
(2) It ensure water droplets on the "lock/unlock" button of the key does not get into the panel.
(3) It make the key looks stylish and very unique (than the regular/factory) key cover.

Its easy to wear. It is worn directly on the regular/factory key cover.
It comes in different color as shown in the attached picture.
Fits Honda accord and civic as mentioned earlier (must be exact shape with 2 or 3 buttons as shown in the picture).

Location; Lagos/Abuja.

Bulk purchase attracts discount.

Nice thread..

I'm having a problem with my power steering. It started with a leakage from the hose, which I changed. Then I noticed it was still leaking from some lower hose underneath the a/c compressor, so I had to top the fluid every 4 days on average.

However, today, the leakage has extended to the area of the steering rack and I can't drive the car cos of this.

My car is an Accord 02 LX (Baby boy)

The mech says I have to change the whole rack but it seems expensive.. the steering is still smooth when I top the fluid, only that it leaks out after a 10min drive. I feel it's some rubber or seal that is broken and can be fixed along with changing the hose..

Please house, can I get some advice with regards to if the leakage in the steering rack can be fixed and also the price of another.

I plan to personally go to oyingbo 2mr morning to solve the problem..

My '03 EOD makes this rhythmic, cyclical dull sound in the front wheels when I am on motion. The sound is particularly distinct when on smooth, newly-paved roads.
I have taken it to different mechanics with different explanations; engine seats, wheel hubs .
My dilemma is no one seems to be SURE of the cause, and I don't want to spend money replacing any of these only for the sound to remain. I don't know if ezperienced guys in the house can hazard a guess as to the cause?
Also, on 2 different occasions, my engine jerked while in drive with the brakes applied. This has happened only twice. My mechanic inspected it and could find nothing wrong with it. Any possible explanations, guys?

My '03 EOD steering moves to the left while on motion. I took it to the mechanic, he checked the tie-rods and ball joints, and said they are ok, what then could be wrong?

Do a wheel balancing and alignment, and tell them to gauge all your tyres making sure the pressure is all the same.

Cheers

luvinhubby:
The vibration when brake is applied is your disc rotors and your brake pads.
The A/C vibration is either your engine mounts, dirty injector nozzles or faulty throttle body sensor.

Hi Luvinhuby,
I have the same problem with my Honda 2003 LX, though I noticed the back engine mount seems to have broken a bit. My car vibrates on D and when the AC is on. You mentioned something about the THROTTLE BODY SENSOR, what is that please?

Its possible you have a steering problem, thats when you have excessive play on your steering.

With engine off your steering should not move more than inch. In a quiet place shake you steering vigourously and hear for gaps. The steering pinion and universal joint can cause excessive play.

cleaning the throttle body at times aggravates issues. i drive a 2009 Honda accord and i had my throttle body cleaned at oyingbo ( CALLED INJECTOR HEAD ) and and my car idle became disrupted. The car the Rpm became high at almost 2 and wouldn't drop to 1 or below 1 even after waiting for several minutes to allow the engine warm. i had to change the throttle body. i spent 43k on a tokunbo throttle body and my car fuel consumption has almost doubled. when i start the car , i perceive the " incomplete" combustion smell from the exhaust. Another mechanic suggested i change the air sensor.





pannyman:


You should have the throttle body cleaned. All you need is a spray can of carburettor cleaner or injector cleaner and a piece of cloth. The throttle body is at the end of the big hose that leads from the air filter.

Undo the hose from the throttle body and spray inside the throttle body with the cleaner and wait a few minutes before wiping it clean, then couple it back and start your engine.

What's happening is that your engine is starved of oxygen because there is too much dust in the throttle body. Also clean your air filter.

Total cost of this operation should not be more than 1500 naira.

Guy, throttle body cleaning doesn't aggravate anything. It's either your mech doesn't know jack about throttle body cleaning or he knew but failed to follow proper procedure. I have done throttle body cleaning many times on my vehicles by myself. There is no electrical part inside the throttle body but a butterfly valve which usually get dirty with carbon hence the need to clean. Probably your mech used injector cleaner spray and sprayed too much of the fluid into the opening or he didn't couple the air hoses properly and therefore there is a vacuum leak which I believe was the cause of the high idle speed. What he should have done is allow it to dry after cleaning; couple everything securely and then perform the "Idle Speed Re-learn Procedure". Guy, you just wasted your money and probably you bought a bad throttle body. Did they perform the Idle Relearn Procedure after installation? I guess not.

Good morning Folks..

Ok so I changed my steering rack and the next day timing belt cut for my Accord '02. I changed it and new problems have emerged -

My horn doesn't work (Rewire says it's the airbag)

My car doesn't start instantly as before (instead of 1 sec, it kicks for 2 secs) and then when it wants to change gear from 1 - 2 or 2 - 3 it's does a crazy multiple back and forth jerk (which u can feel physically and see on the dashboard rpm) it's like a multiple revving up and down. This happens when I move wit some speed but if I'm cruising off its doesn't have such spasms.

Suggestions have been made that it's some sensor but I'm yet to see a competent Honda rewire to give me his opinion.

I wish to solve the horn issue asap as it causes me security risk at night when I go home. Thanks house..

HALLOS TO ALL! been a while, I just sold my 2007 Honda DC and in the quest to upgrade to maybe an 08 or 09 of the same accord, I have been unlucky with getting a lovely ride. Hence I have been thinking of moving to the Infinity models and I do love that FX35 beast because of its mature look and the sense of driving something worthwhile.

My question however is this, coming from the parent company(Nissan), is it really a ride that will be worth the buy, maintenance and rest of mind like my Honda DC gave me? cos for a moment I think I kinda regret selling my accord.

I will appreciate any advise on the FX35 infinity model.

Regards

How is the idle relearn procedure performed?

How is the idle relearn procedure performed?

It's quite simple. Although, every brand has its own procedure. This is for Honda. You must perform the idle learn procedure whenever you disconnect or replace your battery or after cleaning or replacing intake manifold and/or the throttle body or doing certain other jobs or even disconnecting the TPS harness for instance or when you replace sensors. Now, this is my understanding of the procedure and how I have been doing it. You can get more precise method on the web.

IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE
1. Allow the engine to cool then make sure all electrical components e.g. A/C, lights, defogger, etc. are turned off.

2. Put the gear in "P" or "N"

3. Turn the ignition to "ON", wait for 2seconds then start the engine.

4. Step on the throttle, raise it to 3000rpm and hold it there until you hear the radiator fan come on or until the engine coolant or your temperature gauge reaches 90deg C.

5. After the radiator fan comes on, release the throttle (fully closed) and allow the engine to idle for 5mins. Do not turn on any electrical devises or systems during this 5mins period. Please note that if the radiator fan comes on again within the 5mins, do not count the period or time during which it's on as among the 5mins. For instance, lets say the engine had been idling for 3mins then the radiator fan comes on for say 2mins. Do not count the 2mins during which the fan was on.

After this procedure the car engine should idle far below 1000rpm...somewhere between 600 to 800rpm (I'm not sure of the exact speed though...maybe around say + or - 750rpm) depending on the health of your engine.

What your mechanic referred to as "indomie" is your catalyst converter usually in your rear-exhaust. You might need to replace that to have your fuel economy back.
