Good day Oga Gazzuzz, my '04 Rav4 stalls and hesitate at the slightest hill.. The power reduces after climbing ordinary bump.. They try scanning but couldn't as the brainbox was free code..
My mechanics said we should change the brainbox that it might likely be the problem because we've change pump, plugs, clean injector but problem persists..
Please anybody with this kind of problem and way out would be appreciated..

You man want to clean the Mass Airflow sensor with the proper cleaning spray and clean/change ur air filter. This can help with ur lack of power.

How do you do the relearn procedure?
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Originakalokalo(m): 7:03am On Apr 12, 2023
Burchester:

It varies from car to car.

Make sure all electrical items (A/C, audio, lights, etc.) are off.

Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and wait 2 seconds.

Start the engine. Hold the engine speed at 3,000 rpm without load (A/T in P or N, M/T in neutral) until the radiator fan comes on, or until the engine coolant temperature reaches 194 Р’В°F (90 Р’В°C).

Let the engine idle for about 5 minutes with the throttle fujly closed.

NOTE: If the radiator fan comes on, do not include its running time in the 5 minutes.

This is for Honda Accord.

That's still high.
Check your O² sensor and compare readings with manufactures spec.

This should be the height sensor for your automatic headlight leveling. If you have stock lights and there's a warning sign on your dash, replace it if your lights are pointing in an awkward direction.

Thanks, makes more sense now.

No warning sign but I get 2 afs codes when I scan.


Does it make sense to just weld the rod back?

@Gazzuzz,

Honda Accord 2007.

While my car is on drive and brake pressed, there is vibration.

A little rpm increases, the vibration.go away.

With Ac on, the rpm drops further and car shakes.

But if in motion, this does not happen.

...Does a 2007 Honda Accord have idle control valve?

If yes where is it located

Car is Honda Accord 2007.

Please help.

Plugs have been changed.
