Pls I am an issue with honda accord 2008, 4 cylinder.

Was driving when suddenly, it stopped on the road , it cranks on each trial , but engine wont start.

An electrician and mechanic were called.

Discovered fuel was getting to the engine meaning the fuel pump was ok.


Checked/Tested the spark plugs with the ignition coil and discovered that there was no sparks at the plug head.
Suspecting it was a current issue.

All other sensors connection that was seen still looked connected.

Scanned diagnosis brought like 66 errors codes ,

We suspected brainbox, we brought another brainbox , called someone to program the brainbox. The car started, tried moving front and back, the car moved . BUT THE DRIVE GEAR KEEPS BLINKING.


The brainbox programmer said its because the last serial digit on the new ECM was not exact.

We rescanned with the new ECM and error codes was reduced to 5 error codes


So pls I want to know-
- if the problem is really the brainbox or should another electrician check for something else?

-Can the old brainbox be fixed?

-How much is cost of Honda Accord 2008 brainbox (pple are telling me 170k, which I think is expensive)?

-Finding the exact brainbox has been difficult in PH, what guarantees do I have on brainbox brought from outside the state (Lagos,Onitsha).

Pls help

Hi @Gazzuzz pls sir, my 06 Camry makes loud noise while starting it and the noise also persists while driving. The car works fine, just the noise and I also noticed the fuel consumption has really increased and also the car doesn't accelerate quick (atimes it just vibrates and makes loud noise before moving). But once, it's in motion it firea on but the loud noise doesn't stop generally.

GAZZUZZ:

Macmilla:

Lol! Mobil2 indeed.
They are obviously trying to copy mobil1. But is it any good?

GAZZUZZ:


I no de advise on this kind matter again.

The economy is already bad, engine sellers have to sell, mechanics have to install, aluminium scrap sellers have to buy and sell, these people matter too. let us stimulate growth and spending .

I am having a suspected transmission issue with my 2007 Lexus ES 350 and I'm in need of a reliable gear expert in Abeokuta.

This is a summary of the problem:
1. I had an accident in April with the car where in order to avoid a careless driver, I swerved hard, lost control and hit the driver's tyre/side on the median kerbs on Lagos Ibadan expressway. Brake disc broke and shaft pulled out. It was replaced immediately by the nearest mechanic to the accident scene. Further repairs were done gradually.

2. In June/July, I had a mechanic check the car in Ilorin to fix all the noise on the front tires. He changed linkages, ball joints and greased the shaft cup which was low on grease.

3. After he fixed it, I traveled the next day, but the car had a lot of unusual vibrations, especially one gentle and repeated vibrations that comes once in a while. Vibration is usually noticed between 40 and 100Km/hr. Mechanics tried to trace the vibrations but couldn't get it. In the process of tracing the vibrations, the shaft was suspected and it was cleaned twice. Once it was 'packed' with rubber and my mechanic in Ilorin faulted the rubber packing and removed it and cleaned thoroughly.

4. In September, I noticed something unusual in the transmission, there was always a delay when switching from gear 2 to gear 3. It wasn't frequent and most times, mechanics didn't notice it during test drive. During inspection, it was noticed that the gearoil sump had hit something and was deformed. Mechanic asked me to drop the car to allow it cool before working on the sump to beat it back to shape. He did this and changed the oil. Please note that I have always used original Toyota WS gear oil for this car, never compromised. He topped with 4 litres oil which he claimed was sufficient.

5. I got back to Ilorin and realized that the problem wasn't solved, there was still a delay switching from gear 2 to 3. I had it scanned by someone who noticed an error, I checked it online, it was something about solenoid which affects the switch from gear 2 to 3, but the guy cleared the error without saving them.
I took it to another gear specialist in Ilorin, he had it scanned but the scan turned out to be okay. Nothing was wrong with the gear and engine. He only advised me to top the gear oil with 2 litres which I did before traveling back to Abeokuta.

6. I traveled back to Abeokuta and the problem was still there, at some point when I was almost in Abeokuta, the car had difficulty moving and was vibrating, I parked, turned off the engine, turned it back on after a few seconds and everything was fine, I continued my journey, but with the transmission delays. The car is currently in Abeokuta, working, but with the transmission delay.
I don't want to travel with it anymore and I don't want to have any trial and error done by just any mechanic. I need trusted hands to check it here in Abeokuta. I don't want to risk driving it down to Lagos.

Please I need a trusted hand that can work on the car and save me from a transmission replacement.

Please tag the experts in the house.

Culprit has been identified. We will have to repair/ replace it at Ladipo. Mexhanic will take otvthere tomorrow. How much does this cost? And based on experience, does the replacement/repair usually last?

GAZZUZZ:


Replace the transmission

kingreign:


He won’t, just wait till another one bites the dust!

kingreign:


Those Lexus are known for that driveline or engine mount vibrations. It’s well documented. If you’re in Abuja contact me. I’d check and find where the exact vibration comes from and minimize or eliminate it.

cutelover19:


I ignored the mechanic and insisted we replaced all 3 engine seats in mine, spent 100k and the vibration stopped.

mojounited:


Thank you for the insight @cutelover19. Please where (which state and mechanic workshop) did you fix yours? Kindly recommend. The vibration is driving me nuts

cutelover19:


I did it in Lagos, any mechanic should be able to do it. If you’re looking for an easy way out, take the car to Ladipo but shine your eyes, it should cost around 70-75k there (lower mount 30k, left and right mounts 20k).
