Thank you mayor2013....
While planning to run the test, I will appreciate other experiences and suggestions....thank you all....

...........but also I forgot to add, while fixing back the batt, I inserted the first terminal, but there was a little/tiny spark while inserting the second one....
So I felt something is running while car is off which I'm yet to discover...or is that a norm.

Location? Carry out those test. A parasitic drain would reveal some much more as to why your battery is drains out .

Please help,
I took my 07 Acura MDX to a "fake expert " because I had the engine oil light on dashboard of which the oil is OK at top level. On the other hand he called my attention to a sound from the engine saying the "its teething"(whatever that means). So from what I heard they doubled something that was flat(gasket maybe). After I insisted he uses the SUV for a day/2 to confirm job.Only for him to say my SUV trips off on motion.The car ended up for months at the rewires place who said the alternator was bad(although I had batt running down prior). So I changed it(3rd alternator eventually worked),I took it for a drive on very short distance and then tried a longer distance same day in a short time(with the rewires boy).Only for the engine to go off on motion just abt getting back to the shop. Tried to crank it,and got a weak turning and wouldn't start. Was later confirmed timing belt cut off.What are my chances?cos ve got both the army and Navy standing by for brutal engagement (Since dem like the Kazeem name ppl give them,we make it permanent for them).In BTW my Acura interior is in a mess,u need to see the rug and leather so dirty I ll need to soak the SUV. They say I don't need to change engine that def some bent valve and timing ll do.Best advice pls house

Wrong timing set at first. Piston and valves may have clashed very possible while in motion or excessive crank while timing is off. A replacement engine might be unavoidable here

Also I ll like to know the approximate cost of a 2007 Acura MDX tech engine?or am I better of buying top cylinder? Thanks

Just save yourself the money you will spend on drinks for those military men, add money to it and buy yourself another engine.

That is the only long term solution to it.

Not that way somethings have to come first befotr the other. No way you are gonna do a head gasket job without resetting the timing. Getting your engine back to shape is a question I cant give an answer to since am not physically pressed, most dependable on extent of destruction.

Does this happen everytime? From your post, it seems you've been using ATF other than DW-1

Yes was using holt before and working fine. No issues until recently that it starts to delay before it shift from one to two dear. From two to three to four and five shifts smoothly and runs fine. Just the delay shift and jerks from one to two that is the issue. Have even changed the gear switches today yet same issue.

WHY, WHY, WHY DO PEOPLE BUY A NEW CAR WITH THE INTENTION OF BUYING A NEW ENGINE?? I'm really trying to understand why people do this.. you're starting out the gate with expenses and problems you are not sure will be cheaply solved. Please help me understand... embarassed

Also, you need a lot more than an engine according to what I'm reading. Everything is wrong with the car. Looks like your transmission is also going out, you need AC AND suspension work. NONE of these are cheap and may cost as much as you paid for the car. I imagine the only reason you bought the car was it was really cheap? Please say that's the case.

Best case scenario, the parts don't need replacement but will need a lot of labor. Do NOT take it to a kazeem.

No alternative options for financing.

Basically like housing loans and mortgages. You pay a lot more over time than if you do a one time payment. Because you do not have the resources for a one off payment

We have to make these decisions all the time. Eg a genuine Honda generator will can run for 5 to 10 years or more, but few have 800,000 to 1,000,000 to put down. So you buy a Chinko elepaq or elemax or thermocool for 150k, knowing it will last 2 years max.

Quite unfortunate to have used the holt on a Honda transmission. Honda automatic transmissions strictly call for dw-1 to prevent damage to the transmission. Risk of damage will depend on how long the wrong fluid was used. If a temporal substitution a x3 drain and fill will be recommended. But at this point you should start by changing your technician. You need a professional Tyranny Tech (not self-acclaimed wizards) for an on-the-ground assessment.
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by tolajay: 3:42pm On Aug 24, 2018
Thanks.

Have you used it before? What are pluses and downsides - maintenance and durability?

How much did you buy and what’s the current market value?

But if you JUST bought it and have the money for an engine, why not just buy a better car?

Expected /projected Cashflow

Simple example - I'm a geek and would love to buy a beast laptop straight up.

Cash flow means I can't afford to do this. So I may have to buy base model now and upgrade ram, hdd etal as more money comes in.

Yes, but in this case your base model is usable. This makes no sense! He is buying a whole new car with this repair! Even the money he has for the engine would have bought a car in way better shape. Do you see that repair list?!
