If airbag light is on, can it caused the engine light to be on? My car airbag has been showing since the day I bought it and the engine light won't off either.

No. Airbag system is independent of the Power train system.

When driving no
But when I raise yes
Look at the exhaust
colour, if it is smoky or especially if
it is blue then you may be burning
oil which implies worn piston rings, u will need ur mechanic to fix it. but first confirm if no oil leakage from d engine

I sell genuine car parts at good prices. You could check my signature and give me a call. I also do home delivery however there are certain terms and conditions applied to that.

Honda engines are very very durable, so its very uncommon to have a totally faulty engine.

is the vehicle a v6 or i4?

smoking can be caused by something as little as bad o2 sensors, shaky shaky engine can be caused by excessive abuse to vacuum lines and idle air control system...... car would run smooth wen already in motion but to pick from standstill...... issuessssss

first take a snapshot of ur engine bay and post

do u have access to an obd11 scanner?

been hearing a knocking sound lately, especially when ascending a sloppy terrain or flyover at low speed. otherwise, the car is on top of its game. my 'kazeem' said its probably because engine capacity is getting weaker for d ac.
That knocking sound is technically referred to as pinging.
Pinging is as result of incomplete/uneven combustion of air and fuel resulting to spontaneous explosion in the combustion chamber.
Get a recommended techie to check for where the issue is coming from:air ,fuel,spark

Save toward buying a tokunbo engine.
Engine shakes due to misfire as result of worn piston ring.
