Hope you did not force a 2007 CRV O2 sensor into a 2011 CRV, they use same catalyst but different sensors.
Not at all. Issue beyond sensor now, but praying engine not damaged. If engine goes, I'm sure you'll be happy to have us as guests grin

Thanks. Will inform the mechanic on this.

Throttle body(injector mouth) or Vtech sensor (raising switch) if you want your mechanic to understand.

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

Thanks Mayor2013. That your single response saved the day. You said return back to 02. We did and no stories. We couold have thought it was ECM, fuel pump, spark plugs, injector throttle body etc


A quick update. Car is back to 100% efficiency and Performance.

How did we do it? It was simple and straight forward. The panel beater pulled out a sensor and blocked the sensor inlet. 5 mins after, car started misfiring. This morning, removed the catalytic converter assembly from the manifold, started the car, rev up to 3000, inserted a different catalytic converter assembly, inserted the upstream and downstream sensor, started the car, all misfiring and 02 sensor code disappered. car has driving 15 miles from Ikeja down to Ikoyi, No single is back as at yet, and it was confortably doing 120kmph this afternoon, without hesitation.

Recall.
new fuel pump from Ebay/china
new set of plugs from Ebay/china
new set of injectors from Ebay/china
new 02 sensors from Ebay/china

By December, 2018 I refresh this post for you. If your prophesy fails, you owe me a launch at a nice restaurant in Wentworthville (NSW). They have a very nice club in that part of NSW. I enjoyed my 10 days stay last September cheesy wink

If others, I'll call you a master

Yes I agree on this. It is my error allowing him to have his way despite my experience in engineering and knowledge garnered on usage of cars. Poo does happen and we make mistakes to learn

Just redo an engine decarbonisation

I forgot to add that part.

The black smoke that came out of the exhaust was as thick as burning tires

See the two converter assemblies.

The first is the blocked one, the other is the replacement, which was fixed into the car now

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" cheesy angry
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 angry

You see. You bought shipped from Shenzu cheesy.
Those guys are infiltrating Amazon sef but it's not as bad as eBay.

Can you believe I bought an LG G2 phone then- brand new from Amazon. I was a novice and phone shipped from "Shenzu" (of course it was cheaper). Immeadiately I did an update the phone bricked! When I took it to LG Service Centre it was discovered that the logic board used in the phone was not the one meant for the version of LG G2 that I bought!

I wouldn't lie. I've been doing that for about 2 years now. My thinking is that buy new, since you don't know the mileage on the tokunbo you're buying

Transmission gear oil gauge. this should be checked too and topped if its short. The radiator water should also be checked in the morning before starting the car.
Where is the transmission oil gauge located in Honda crv 2005.wants to check the tranny oil level. The SUV transmissions recently starts to delay before engaging while changing gear but runs fines when it enters the gear. Pls what could be the issue.

My biggest issue sometimes Amazon/eBay say a part is a fit and it is not. The sellers put the interchange info and sometimes it's wrong. If you're unlucky, what do you so with the misfit part?

Recommend when you find something on those sites, go to Carquest, advance, O'Reilley or even dealer to verify the part number interchange.

That still doesn't help. How long has this been going on? What was consumption like before? Have you had any recent work done to your car? Did you recently change driving pattern? Is your car behaving any differently apart from that? Any new sounds or smells?

Replace or clean the gear switch.

The gear dip stick is on your gear, driver side of your engine. Unless broken.

Better for you to get the original Honda DW1, leave Mobil alone.




*Will help if you specify if it is a 4 x 4 or front wheel drive

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by davodyguy: 8:29am On Aug 16, 2018

So how do you tell if your vehicle's catalytic converter, or "cat" as gearheads sometimes refer to it, is out of whack? And when should you count on having to replace it?

The truth is, on modern vehicles, the catalytic converter should last the life of the car or truck, given an "average" life of about 100,000 miles (160,934 kilometers). Good thing, too, because this auto part uses rare, precious and therefore expensive metals such as gold, palladium or rhodium. They act as catalysts in chemical reactions that convert air-polluting oxides of nitrogen, unburned fuel and carbon monoxide into plain old nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water.

So, when you buy Tokunbo, that's its over 100k miles as its often done in Nigeria, how will the converter perform?

Just trying to compare used with new
