Hello all, I need help .

My wife's Honda Accord 2007 ( Discussion Continues) has a nagging issue. The first thing I noticed was the car suddenly jerking and hesitating on top speed like two months ago, it hesitates,jerks ,then picks up. Also,sometimes when entering the house,because it's somehow hilly,the car would refuse to climb except you apply a lot more force to the acccelerator ,with this ,sometimes it climbs and sometimes,it still refuses, you would have to reverse, switch off the AC, put off the car ,then start again so one can climb. I got a mechanic who said he needed to clean the injector, he did and the problem seemed to stop.
After some time, the car would hesitate a lot of time in traffic, but doesn't get to stop, driving wasn't smooth,then shifting gears comes with a lot of jerking ( moving from Park to Reverse or to Drive), the jerking was almost scary. The mechanic who checked said it was throttle body, he replaced it and the jerking when shifting gears was addressed significantly but the car hesitation still continued, it behaves like the fuel supply gets cut off intermittently.

This is how the car behaves, it suddenly hesitates like it won't move, then suddenly forcefully surges forward and continues moving. This happens intermittently and is quite annoying.

The mechanic again said it was something that had to do with the transmission, he claimed he changed some parts, topped up the transmission oil, changed the filter etc. The car seemed to be okay when I drove for some kilometers then the same symptoms showed up again.

The car was scanned like 2 months ago when the symptoms started showing up and I have attached the scan results here. Someone,kindly advise on what I should do next .

I have this code P0016 after scanning my 2011 Camry. The top gasket was changed in January and since then the check engine refused to clear. The car sounds well, it's just that it jerks a bit while on neutral position or packed. Mechanics hv checked and they advised me to keep driving it like that. Timing and sensors were confirmed okay.

Please can anyone recommend a good mechanic in Awka and a possible solution.?
@GAZZUZZ pls help me out

.


The P0016 basically means the engine ECU has noticed the camshaft and crankshaft positions are out of sync.

Specifically the camshaft on the exhaust cam of bank1.

The OCV oil passages might be blocked with RTV silicone (I see that a lot)

O rings not installed in oil passages for camshaft actuators

Faulty OCV (exhausts bank1)

Faulty actuator (exhausts bank1)

Did you try fixing 3 sec cold start rattle?

Slow response on O2 sensor B2S2.

It's either a failing O2 sensor or a leaking exhaust gasket .

I bought front pair of KYB shocks 85K. And I have been enjoying it. I’ve been to Owode Ogun state from Lagos and I can see the difference with the China product.
