The engine was ringed recently.I always have issue with the car jacking and vibrating as if the plugs are bad.I recently changed the plugs,service the engine but the situation remains the same . For the 1st 7 minutes of driving,hardly experience any issue.After sometime the car starts misbehaving and get worst if the AC is on.

I'm just tired

I changed the compressor

Denikayan:
Change your tires

Bjornson01:
Hyundai Accent 2008 right? dude that car came with a meagerly 110 grass eating ponies from the factory at 6000 rpm, and with Nigerian use I doubt if the engine can still give out 75 Hp, I'll advice you get a modern car with at least 2 litres of engine displacement if you want to be enjoying AC all the time.

OP I sincerely and seriously hope u r not taking every solution being offered here...... seriously!

most of them don't know Jack about what they are talking about....
like saying cure for sore throat...
take panadol
take coke
take sugar
take sugar and flagyl
take ampicillin and tetracyclene together.... lolz
change throat completely
change the neck

it worked for them doesn't mean it will work for u, it might work for u but just know that it's a gamble.

now back to base, I see ericko2 already doing justice.
1. Scan the vehicle to rule out power train issues like injector, throttle body, plug, iacv failures and the sort..... it might be as simple as a wrong connection (pcv valve connected wrongly cost me 2hrs troubleshooting when vehicle couldn't idle properly)

2. Ringing or engine overhaul is a nice and sure way of extending engine lifespan (IF DONE CORRECTLY). Are you sure this was done correctly with standard specs?

3. Did u observe the Break-in period for recently overhauled engines?

4. Leave the battery(non expired) alone for now if it's the same battery that was there when the going was smooth. Also, if ur "otternator" is bad, or having partial charge, there should be a warning signal on the dash (comes up during startup like others and remains lit while others turn off after startup).

5. What else? Don't change ur tires and seat just yet BRO.....

comment when u have reviewed the above items! but from where I'm standing.... bro it looks like u might need to rebuild the engine (aunty radu style) or get another one oh. Sounds like serious loss of compression... but let's look @ the bright side... scan might reveal a less complicated issue, maybe a wrong connection!

OmoIREFIN:

Pls house, I washed the engine of my Toyota Highlander and it's vibrating and dragging, even not moving as fast as it was prior to washing. My mechanic has changed the plugs and checked the coils but the problem persists. Kindly advise me pls. God bless you.

obekediamondfuto:


BRO, ur ride is giving u sleepless nights?
no b small Mata.....

after washing right, I don't promote guess work so ima go ahead and say.... scan the vehicle.... u can get one of these dirt cheap scanners for roughly 3k... the Bluetooth type.... saves a whole Lotta stress....

this particular symptom could range from a whole Lotta issues... so guesswork is highly not advised

BTW it's sounds Like a misfire, ur mechanic could be moving in the right direction just not probing with the right tools!

Absoj:


Every engine whether small or big has its commensurate compressor that fits its capacity. U cannot put a Toyota hiace bus compressor in a Toyota corolla .

Thanks bro go and buy Benz! All these Japanese cars will always give you headache. Since I have been using my Benz I have not visited the mechanic for once despite traveling with the car every time. Since I have dropped all these Japanese cars I have said no to mechanics.

PHIPEX:
I had similar experience but the catalyst was the cause, though it wasn't as serious as you described. Your catalyst could be blocked.

erico2k2:

SO it blocks when the AC goes ON and Unblock when the AC goes off

mejai:
Check fuel system (clogged nozzles)
check coils
was the compressor re-constructed?
change engine

that's all for now!

I had this same issue with my Honda 08 last year. Once the AC comes on, it loses speed, vibrates violently on slow running and shuts the engine off. I get to restart everytime and it made me not use AC in traffic for months.

It damaged my wallet cos I spent heavy trying to resolve the issue. I changed virtually all related parts and nothing helped until I met a God-sent mechanic who was able to resolve the issue.

I could help you with his contact. His workshop is at Oworonshoki.

Yakeeboy:

i beg which spec of benz are you talking about.
Thanks I always have this unpleasant experience anytime I switch on my AC (Hyundai Accent 2008).At times in traffic the car stops completely,I have to switch OFF the car then ON it back.

Can anyone help with the possible solution.

Several years ago my 2nd car was blowing white smoke thru the exhaust. Mechanics said the rings needed to be changed. My uncle advised me to get a new engine but I decided to be frugal and cut costs. I suffered for some months after changing the rings. Horrible fuel economy.
Honda civic oh...
Always smelling fuel inside the car.
I finally changed the engine. That was wen I experienced peace of mind.

Take my advice: don’t waste ur time and money changing the rings and top gasket.
Change the engine.
Thank me later.

joinnow:

Hope you declare the issue to the new buyer
No lie...God is watching
Don't forget the golden rule
Reason I always believe 90% of those selling their cars in Nigeria is because the car is giving them trouble

PHIPEX:
Am not a mechanic but I saw him bring out the catalyst and used sharp object to clean it and it worked afterwards.

chozzy:



Na wa oo .... so because of Top Gasket one should change engine?

OmoIREFIN:

You are very right! The scan gave a PO302: 2nd cylinder misfire.
