hello all,

my honda accord 2015 model drains my batteries. I got it late July, been away in august, battery that came with it died, got a new battery, that lasted only two weeks, thought its fake and all, got another, used the car thrice a week ever since, yesterday the new battery won't start, even with jump cables. took it to my mechanic, checked alternator, charging point, all seems fine, but obviously something is wrong. My Oga's what could be wrong?

No check engine light? Probably a parasitic draw by way of stuck relay or something else.

Are you handy? This is best done by yourself. Road side mechanics can do it at the detriment of doing something terrible. Watch YouTube videos on parasitic draw. Your problem is carrying out the repairs. Going to mechanics with your own instructions most times ends badly.

This generally how its done.

Good. Happy you found it. However, cigarette lighters don't work unless ignition is turned on, over night when usually the key is not in the car, the drain is not supposed to happen. For now, let's see if this find resolves your drain. If it doesn't, then we know where to look already.

I hope you've not disposed the other batteries, they are valuable.

Please everyone in the house good evening. Please my Acura TL 2004 is consuming fuel more than I can bear n it thru check light which I scan. The following was the result:
1)p0172 -powertrain system too rich (bank 1)
2)p0175- powertrain system too rich (bank 2)
3)p0453- powertrain evaporative emission control system pressure sensor high input..
The mechanic said that I have to replace my injectors and I don't seems to agree with that. Please what is the solution to this problem. I don't have money to through on part .thanks

Your car is consuming way more fuel than it should, did you do any recent repairs or modification on the car?

your mechanic is a clown. cheesy

From the results of your scan, your engine is feeding directly off the evap line. Most likely the valve is stuck open. Easy fix if you have a learned mechanic

show him this, valve should not allow airflow unless when activated by engine ECU (+12v/-12v).

Hello Honda gurus,
I drive a V6 'end of discussion 05'
there is this suction sound I hear from the engine compartment whenever I press the brake pedal.
Note: brake fluid is full, brake pads are in good shape, changed bushens for the front arm on both sides.
The mechanic guessed that the noise is caused by a vibration, am sceptical about that.
Any suggestions please?
I experienced similar issue before, its only after changing master cylinder and brake booster that we figured out where the problem was: the internal valve in pipe that connect engine with brake booster!
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Nobody: 8:41am On Oct 31, 2016
ColeworldMD:
totally agree. Total oil 20w-50 was used on my EOD but recommended is 5w-20. I want to change back to the recommended oil as I noticed the car feels dull & the steering stiff after the 20w-50 was used. Also can 20w-50 make steering stiff or it's due wrong power steering fluid?. Please what is your advice, how do I go about changing it to the recommended. Thanks boss

Congrats from here too, Sir.

Though, 2 years is not quite a long time. The difference between an engine that feeds on synthetic and that which feeds on mineral shows with time. Say, 5-10 years at least.

That said, your maintenance and use schedule could also make a difference in the long term. So, permit me ask:

1) How frequently do you drain your engine oil?

2) How heavily do you use the car? (E.g. Frequent long distance travels, Use every single day and for considerable time everyday)

Cheers!‎

1. Arnd 3000km or 3 months (ot depend on usage)
2. For considerable time everyday i.e 20km to 60km daily.
Long distance journey occassionally.

My newly acquired tokunbo accord 2003 lx ivtec 2.4 guzzle fuel; 130km per 20litres

after scanning we learned that it was o2 sensor on the catalytic conveter new one has been instled but still no improvement.
the following has been done;
1. new o2 sensor
2. new air filter
3. new spark plugs (NGK BK6E)
4. Cleaning injectors (they are in good sharp)
currently there is only one code (p0340 camshaft positionin sensor A)
the said Car run smoothly no any form of jerking or hesitation at startup, the temp is at almost half, fans only come when the engine is hot or ac on
the car only done 100k kilometres on odometer.

no any modification done and the 4 tyres are factory recommended 205/65.

LOL, Nobody means the member has deactivated his NL account.

With about 15.6mpg, its really terrible for any accord. Yours should be at worst 26mpg and at best 34mpg. Though your test method could be bad.

The code you have is very important to your engine running well. A search shows P0340 HONDA - Camshaft Position Sensor 'A' No Signal. Sensor A should specifically mean intake camshaft and I would assume B for exhaust camshaft.

No signal should either be
1. the connector is not plugged well
2. one of the sensor pin is broken or bent
3 wire is cut somewhere
4. Sensor is bad

I suggest you pull out the connector without pressing the release tab. If it comes out the it wasn't plugged well. If it does come out, press the tab and pull out. Inspect the wires and the pins inside the sensor for bending and breakage.

If every thing is fine so far, clear the code and drive to see if it returns. If it does then you have to use a multimeter to probe further.

Same thing with mine. You will put it on and instead of it to illuminate the road it will be flashing into the sky. It makes me avoid night driving

But if you come outside and observe the headlights they look Okay and that's what baffles me. I've put HID bulbs and tokumbo bulbs but lie lie. I don't know if there's a way to adjust the height of the beam via the headlamps themselves

I drive a crv 2k but it guzzles 1ltr of PMS in 3km travel. What could be wrong because I have cleaned the injectors also using injectors cleaner, now I resolved to total fuel cleaner. Plugs are good as well.
Secondly, my gear does not shift seamlessly from 2-3 and 3-4 . you will hear a noisy engine as if you raise the engine(a typical experience on standard/manual shift when accelerator is pressed while in gear without depressing the clutch pedal) and the rpm deflects to a high value say 3000 before the gear upshifts. It kind of reduce to almost zero after driving for a log time say 4 hours. What can it be. Must o change gear? I have emptied the gear fluid twice and topped with new fluid.
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by lanre2009: 9:09pm On Nov 04, 2016
The direction of the beam can be adjusted....get a competent rewire to fix it for you or learn from the video below. Cheers.
