Singlesoul401: Likely severed ABS cable on the front legs. Bad O2 sensor may cause the fuel consumption but will advise a scan first. |

Good day Car gurus in the house! Please I am having serious issue with my Honda Accord 1999 (babyboy) Manual transmissions. My car rpm is going up and down between 1000rpm and 2000rpm even when driving and the car is jerking on the move. Please help me out with possible solutions. Thanks in advance. |

Hello guys Mayor2013 GAZZUZZ luvinhubby And others Let's Rob mind My aunt has a 2011 CRV Ex. It drives fine and all parts functioning efficiently and effective. Just as Honda says after 100k miles, do a tune up. Mileage 130k now So we decided to do few things on Saturday Changed spark plugs to NGK iridium Changed fuel pump Changed injectors Changed the upstream and downstream sensors. After fixing, car started fine and was sharper than it was prior. After few minutes drive, a code showed up P1157, which points to Upstream sensor. Cleared code, but it instantly pumped up again. I then suggested we return the old sensor, since nothing was wring, but women and over sabi. We tried to remove sensor 1, only to find it difficult, cos the guy that fixed it forced the sensor in and the threading got damaged on the exhaust pipe. We had to use the heat to pull out the sensor, which was obviously condemned and the thread on the exhaust pipe damaged. Since we need to buy a new sensor and possibly get another pipe that connects to the manifold, the panel beater decided to block the hole/space for the sensor fits it. After leaving the panel beater, just few minutes drive, car started misfiring. I was called. Did a scan and it shows P0300 to P0304 all cylinder misfires, along with the obvious oxygen sensor code. Car is not idling at all now. Once you start, it goes off immediately and terrible black smoke comes from the exhaust. Can you guy confirm if the oxygen sensor issue is connected with the misfire Thanks |

davodyguy: First sentence sounded like DIY, next I was sure it was Kamaru how much did you buy all the individual parts. did you buy used parts or new parts? I am waiting. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by davodyguy: 6:06pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ: Kamoru ke? All brand new ordered from eBay, not purchased in Nigeria. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:10pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
davodyguy: New or used Oga? Ebay Sells used parts. Did you use the vin of the car to match the parts? 1 Like |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by davodyguy: 6:19pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ:GAZZUZZ You should know I've been around for a while, not a rookie. Just want ideas as we normally do here. All parts are brand new, not used. There are sites eg Amazon and hondaparts.com that allows you to select your vehicle by specification and then check fitment. That I did and this isn't the first time I'm having to do this. Its unfortunate how this turned out |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by mayor2013: 6:32pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
opomulero: How many bulbs/led would go burnt at the same time. Any Recent work done on electricals |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:34pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
davodyguy: When you go a Dr's office they ask you questions related to the ailment, most times the questions sound silly but have to be asked. If every thing was done by the book, you will not be here. Mayor2013 he's all yours. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by davodyguy: 6:39pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ:You're right. But I was already tensed up. You know things can be most especially if you gave someone an advise and the things turns bad unfortunately. That's the feeling right now, a bit disappointed |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by mayor2013: 6:39pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
davodyguy: Yes it can. Black suite was caused by the pulled off 02 sensor. By the way what spark plugs did you use? What type of fuel pump did you use |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by davodyguy: 6:43pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
mayor2013:Thank you very much for the straight forward response. My key question was, 'can you guys confirm if the space blocked could have been responsible' First thing first, then I'll answer the other questions NGK iridium platinum, with exact OEM number matching. Fuel pump was the universal Honda/Toyota pump. Its not the complete assembly with the fuel gauge that I changed, just the engine |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by opomulero(m): 6:46pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
seriously no electrical jobs done, it was right in my face d thing went off as i was driving home. just the needles alone mayor2013: |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by mayor2013: 7:30pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
davodyguy: Yes. Take back to factory spec. Take out that yeye fuel pump. Get a complete untampered unit . Those pump alone are Chinese crap and would also cause a misfire. Excess black smoke was a result of the pulled out 02 sensor like I did explain earlier |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by mayor2013: 7:30pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
opomulero: Check bulbs/led if OK . Change instrument cluster |

Elipsis: When this happens, does it start in neutral? The issue may be with the neutral safety switch. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Piyke: 8:36pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
davodyguy: Beware of eBay. I have stopped shopping there. Chinese Kazeem part sellers full the place. Many of them will pose like they are in the US/UK only for you to click "place order" and later see "item shipped from shenzu" I have series of experiences from self and family. On such sensitive items I only do OEM or the aftermarket guy that does the OEM e.g Denso does the oem O2 sensor for my accord but also has the aftermarket direct-fit one which is way cheaper. So sorry to hear the overtorquing thing. This is common place in this country. You will even see some use an impact wrench (irrespective of speed/torque setting) to mount wheels. Their motto is tighten until it can move no more 2 Likes |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by davodyguy: 8:54pm On Aug 13, 2018 |
mayor2013:Thanks so much. Just spoke to my mechanic, the conclusion is that the engine can't breathe property, hence the very poor idling and black soot. First tomorrow is to look for another shell, and put in back the factory exhaust, with or without the catalytic converter, for us to see the condition of the engine. If the engine idles well, then we can breathe a sigh of relief. Lesson has been learned. Honda is different from Toyota. If sensor is bad, just leave it there, rather than trying to be wise See below the image of the catalytic converter assembly. The downstream sensor is to be placed in the opening directly on the converter, whilst the upstream is the one on the long pipe to be connected to the manifold. The thread of the upstream sensor was the one damaged and the panel beater chose to seal up until we get another sensor and rethread the hole. The next was the black soot and the car was driven 14 miles after after the seal up. I just pray the engine is not damaged due to the 14 miles drive

Honda Civic - 2006 Model doesn't go beyond 53Mph. Any idea on what the actual cause may be? |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by luvinhubby(m): 10:15am On Aug 14, 2018 |
foztrot: Throttle body(injector mouth) or Vtech sensor (raising switch) if you want your mechanic to understand. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by luvinhubby(m): 10:18am On Aug 14, 2018 |
davodyguy: Hope you did not force a 2007 CRV O2 sensor into a 2011 CRV, they use same catalyst but different sensors. |
