Gazzuzz,abeg no vex. I had to bring it up here cos I feel you will see it in time. I have this issues with my 2007 Honda accord,I4,automtic: 1.When moving slowly (at about 20km /hr) and try to acceralate, or try accelerating after a brief stop,the pedal does not respond(becomes stiff), the tachometer remains at zero,then it picks up after about 3-5 seconds. It happens intermittently. 2.Sometimes I can't start the car when the gear is in the park position, until I put it in neutral. It's becoming too frequent now. Please what is wrong and how do I resolve the issues? |

U turn back to lagos,Remaining battery power would not take me into lagos so I thought of buying a new battery, but since its sunday there was no one selling.... Car began jerking I knew I had only a few km left for car to stall completely, I see this guys car parked on the road he's looking really confused so I decide to stop there. I turned off engine and went to ask him what was wrong with his vehicle? He said his brakes failed and fluid was leaking from rear right wheel, I told him my battery was flat and needed a charge so I struck a deal with him, ill fix your leak while we use ur car to charge my battery, it was a rusted pipe so I ended up blocking it, we bleed it and it was fine, it took like 10mins and I felt my battery was not charged enough, so another deal was struck, I use ur battery till we get to ojodu berger then we swap back, the chap was ok with it, got to berger and swapped back. Got home with a little juice left. 4 Likes |

OMG! I'm sorry, for not sympathising with you. PELE, boss.I guess I was carried away by my own issue. No vex abeg. Just that I fear any issues with my car because I'm in an island where the mechanics here know next to nothing. |

dandollar1: Problem 1. Scan so we don't use panadol to cure malaria. Problem 2. Inhibitor switch,neutral saftey switch or range sensor might be faulty. Try and open a new thread. |

GAZZUZZ: Sup bro, sorry about how kazzeem left a sour taste in your mouth. Hope the issue on that toyota ain't some pocket leaking+nightmare inducing issue? Lol at 'fuel repellant'. How's she doing? I feel the engine in the Kia ain't gonna be as 'smooth de silk' at higher speeds exceeding 120km/hr and its not gonna inspire and/or command confident driving in when compared to a bigger displacement engine maybe with even more cylinder either in an L or V design and a car with emphasis on high speed touring cruiser or sporty performance. Do does it? |

lomomike: Its a light car, very good suspension, excellent for potholes, its a very good sprinter, excellent fuel economy very cheap parts (ridiculously. Cheap) and 1 do sustained speeds 140km/ph without any issues. Before I forget the A.C is a killer!! And I don't get stopped by the police or customs cause it was not bought tokumbor. Its a win win situations since I travel alone most times. The engine (head/block) costs 45-50k. 2 Likes |
