Please guys where can I locate the engine number of Honda Accord 1998 lx? I mean which side in the engine will I find the number. Thanks |

omar0001: Does the engine run smooth? (No misfire) is the engine rpm around 650-700rpm when car is in idle? What's the repair history of your vehicle? Had any funny vibrations b4 take off previously? Is the check engine light on when the engine is running? If you are in lagos give me a call ill scan and consult for free. 08023251039. |

Pls is V4 Honda accord 2004 ( EOD ) better than V6 ? I am asking because i want to ship it to naija but my friend advised it may be hard to sell |

Miroslavklose:If your scan results are ok as you said, then you may have an issue with your ECU as your said consumption pattern is crazy. 1 Like |

acadollar:2004 accord is not baby boy as baby boy stopped in 2002. If it is EOD, both the I4 & V6 & are marketable in Nigeria but I4 only for baby boy. 1 Like |

Op thanks for the beautiful job you're doing here. My Honda civic car (2006 model) is having this funny jerk that often occurs for one or two seconds while driving it. Please kindly explain what could be responsible for it and what to do to rectify it. Thank you. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by acadollar(m): 2:35pm On Apr 05, 2015 |
luvinhubby:Thanks but i mean EOD |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Miroslavklose: 6:46pm On Apr 05, 2015 |
luvinhubby: May God bless you. Someone on one of the foreign forums suggested 1) Reprogramming of the ECU 2) Check that the callipers are not sticky. I.e jack the car up, put in neutral and turn the front two tires to see if they are free. My question is this, whilst no 2 is easy to do, can option be done here in Nigeria? Secondly when I had issues with the Airbag and the DRL, the normal on board diagnostic scanner couldn't read it, but the professional scanner read both issues and got both issues fixed. I'm thinking everything should be okay with the ECU. or what do you think sir? many thanks once again |

OROSUNBOLB: Its a misfire scan, identify the cylinder that misfires and mark the coil so you don't mix them up also mark the injector just incase, check all plugs (replace if nessary) clear codes and use car if it happens again replace marked coil and service injectors. |

Hello guys, I have an issue with my Honda 2003 Accord. While driving, the battery light comes on and will not go off until I put off the engine and then turn it on again before the battery indicator goes off. After driving for like 4-5 mins the battery comes on again. I took it to a rewire and he said the alternator is weak, i replaced the alternator and it still does this. I am yet to take it back to the rewire as i feel something is wrong......Please what could be the cause of this ? |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by GAZZUZZ(m): 5:37am On Apr 07, 2015 |
igbsam: To rule out an alternator fault, buy a digital multimeter and when ever the battery light comes on test the chargin voltage I belive 13.5v~13.8v (d.c) should be within normal charging values. Cheap multimeter costs 500naira. 1 Like |

Miroslavklose:I don't think anything is wrong with your ecu. Perform step number 2 first then check your alignment, check your tire pressures. Your driving style could also be a factor. If you step on the accelerator as if you are competing with Hamilton, your mpg will take a nosedive. Secondly, your car most likely needs high octane fuel and it isn't getting it here in naija so it robs you of a Lil mpg. Also 9 miles is a relatively short distance for a car to fully warm up and run on stoichiometric mixture which improves mpg unless that 9 miles takes a long time to cover. Idling especially in a city like lagos with endless stop and go traffic eats away at mpg more than any other factor. I think your ecu is okay. You are still getting decent mileage for someone staying in lagos. Take your car on a long trip (highway at least 60 miles) and see if your highway mpg is close to spec. If it is, then you are okay. |

GAZZUZZ: Thank u sir. will get it. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Miroslavklose: 6:40pm On Apr 07, 2015 |
9icetoo: Thanks so much once too I discovered that the caliper, I.e passenger front is sticky so I had it removed and oiled to see if there would be improvement. I'll have to check the alignment again. All four tires are on 40 PSI that one set pass the recommended 32 PSI. If after all these, the thing refuses to improve from current 15mpg to the normal 20mpg city drive, I'll rather live it like that than keep troubling myself. After all, the car isn't giving me a single problem apart from the relatively poor MPG |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by adanny01(m): 7:56pm On Apr 07, 2015 |
igbsam: Scan scan scan! During live scan and when the engine is idling, voltage must be around 14.2-14.3volts. If its more or less, you have a charging problem. You can remove the +ve terminal of the battery when engine is idling, if the engine cuts off, you have a problem, if not. You something else is amiss. However, is not good on your ECU to yank that battery terminal like that. Do that only if you cant get a scan. Disclaimer! Dont say i didnt tell you. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by igbsam(m): 10:05pm On Apr 07, 2015 |
adanny01: Thank you so much for your reply. I did the yanking off of the +ve terminal of the battery to know if the alternator is charging and it didn't cut off. Engine was still running. I'll be taking the car for a scan tomorrow as i was not chanced to do that today. Someone told me the voltage charge from the alternator to the battery wasn't enough, i need to check the wire connecting the alternator to the battery to see if there's a bridge or weakness somewhere. But i'd scan the car before i take any further action. |

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by adanny01(m): 12:11am On Apr 08, 2015 |
GAZZUZZ: Trust me, its risky but it never happens always, hence the disclaimer. I ve seen more than yanking of the terminal and ECU lives to tell the abuse. You must'nt remind me the obvious, its there already. See, he did it, and nothing happened. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:28am On Apr 08, 2015 |
adanny01: At 10-11v engine will still run, does not mean alternator ok. |
