Good morning. I have an 09 accord that's been stressing me out. It does the following:

1. Vibrates/shakes during acceleration --usually between 20&40kmph. Runs smoothly after the 40kmph mark. Please note: I've changed the cv axles for both driver and passenger sides and replaced engine mounts.

2. Struggles to start during the first try in the morning. Sometimes it doesn't particularly if I haven't driven it in 2 days. But it typically starts on the second try and starts smoothly afterwards throughout the day. Please note: I already changed the fuel pump 2x (second be time after buying bad fuel from an nnpc station)

3. Has significant vibration when I depress the brakes. Please note: I already replaced brake discs (both discs at the front) a while ago

4. Car feels like the tires are bouncing when I'm driving. All tires are gauged (225/65/16) to 35 psi. I've had vulcanizers look at the tires and they're in good condition --no uneven wear

Can you cartalk gurus pls help with the diagnosis? I'd really appreciate it.

Sadly you.might have to do everything you have done before again.

CV axle replace with brand new pair (complete)

Fuel pump replace assy (complete)

Rotors all 4 replace with brand new original

Struts check and replace defective pair with original

@GAZZUZZ

Please how do I diagnosed this codes
You are runing this engine below optimum temperature thereby the engine oil has turned to sludge and blocking vvt oil passage way .
Try to flush the sludge off the engine as much as possible also clean the vvt solenoid and filter .
connect the engine fan according spec and install the thermostat.

Brake calipers may be stiff; struts may be weak, or maybe faulty wheel hubs or bad suspension bushings, etc.
With respect to engine not starting, have you scanned? What are the fault codes?

I will advice you go to a decent workshop for thorough inspection and diagnosis. Some more history of the vehicle may be needed.

Thank you everyone for your contributions towards this thread.

I have learned a lot.

The interior of my car gets hot when the engine is hot.

Moreso, the plastic cover around the gear lever area and the other sides.of the Plasti in front in the cabin gets so warm to the touch.

This happens after driving for a while...when the engine is hot.

is it normal?

I feel the heat from the engine is causing this....

Is there an insulator or something that should prevent this?

Kindly help please.

I can only give you the solution for 1 but I need more info. After you replaced the cv axles, was the acceleration smooth then the vibration returned later or you didn't see any difference at all

Yes it was initially smooth. The vibrations returned 2-3 weeks later

Good. Your problem is not the axles. If you like buy brand new OEM axles, the vibration will return.

It's either your intermediate shaft or from your transmission. The intermediate shaft sits between the passenger side axle and the transmission.

Try replacing it and see how it goes. Note that you will have to change the passenger side axle alongside the intermediate shaft. If that does not solve it, its from your transmission.

I have attached a picture of the IM shaft.

All the best

I also changed that in the past, plus the vibrations don't feel like they're coming from the passenger side. Feels more like the driver's side. But, thanks for the suggestion. It's given me something to consider too.
