Both O2 sensors are bad and are responsible for the high fuel consumption.
There is a reason why it's called air/fuel ratio sensor

The result can as O2 sensor heater circuit bank1 and bank 2 malfunction.

7 years of using a 2003 Honda Accord as a daily driver.. and counting.

Never had a single occurrence of 'tire pulling'.

I had a good friend who bought a 2003 corolla around the same time I bought my Accord. He vehemently opposed the idea of me buying Honda then, but if you know you know. After we bought our cars, anytime he saw me, he would ask if 'that thing' has happened to my car and I would laugh.

Today, he has grown tired of asking me if my car's leg has 'pulled', because it just didn't happen in spite of the incredible work rate of my Accord. Truth is, I don't see it happening anytime soon.

Maintenance and driving habits is everything.

Honda is really cool, if you pay attention to regular maintenance. Some people buy cars and will never read the manual!!.. Shey na Kazeem wey nor go school go read manual?

The caveat is that you must buy a car in good condition ab-initio. You may need experienced individuals to help you assess a vehicle before purchase. I have done this for a couple of close friends and they remain trouble free.

This is a live testimony and very true.

Cheers!

You are very correct.. I have three Honda civic on uber 03 to 05 . Very rugged car and engine.. Like you said follow manual and the car will last very long time.. The civic can take abuse ,but I try to avoid it ... am thinking about doing 15k miles on extended performance Mobil 1 oil .. Honda engine can handle it am very sure...




Here’s how to make your Honda car last forever.

Read the owner’s manual: infact don't buy any Honda without owner's manuals if misplaced yours go and download it online it free it saves you a lot of ignorance

The better you know this piece of literature, the better you’ll be able to care for your car, whether you’re the one servicing it or not.

Follow the manufacturers maintenance schedule:

There’s a tendency to ditch the instructions and do things your own way, but when it comes to the health of your car, it really is best to do it by the book. The owner’s manual is basically a built-in maintenance schedule that’s perfectly tailored to each individual vehicle. Use it.

Be religious about oil changes:

Is it going to kill your car dead if you drive it 800 km past what the oil change sticker says? Probably not. But we’re talking about longevity here and every choice has an impact. Stick to the schedule—every 5,000 km for most—and run better, longer.

Keep fluids at optimum levels:

Keeping your machine full of all fluids including oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid and even wiper fluid will stave off unnecessary wear. Get in the habit of checking the levels regularly.

Guard against rust:

Rust proofing is a must in Ontario, and much of Canada and the US, if you want to keep your vehicle on the road in one piece for an extended period of time. Fortunately, modern rust-proofing such as is included in the Honda Plus Appearance Protection Program, is highly effective and can stave off the corrosion for ages.

Take care of your tires:

Tire or rim issues will impact your mileage and threaten safety, but it can also lead to other issues elsewhere in the vehicle, like the suspension. Keep tire pressure where it should be and replace and service your tires according to the owner’s manual.

Replace filters:

The purpose of the filters is to keep whatever particles are floating around in the air from getting into the important bits of the car. Sounds important because it is.

Service at a dealership or find a long-term mechanic you trust and that knows the brand inside out:

If your mechanic is your car’s medical team, then consider finding a family doctor rather than going to a different walk-in clinic each time it’s sick. Honda
Engine don't like inexperienced doctors

Which Naija Honda owner can be willing to buy a ball joint for ₦32,000 each piece.

nurey:


Stop driving the car for now

look for a qualified technician that can interpret diagnosis into working solution.

for the gear check ur dip stick and gauge.

speed sensor needs checking seems vulcanised or mechanic has vandalized it.

you need a technician with knowledge of scab results to diagnosis for you, meaning physical inspection.

in other news is your own captain black the sea pirate or the popular cigarette?

Service solenoids on gear. They are sticking, also change gear oil.

Hello Gurus,

I need advise on my 2007 4 plugs Accord.

It vibrates occasionally when driving and most times when on reverse. I just changed all engine seats.

Also, it takes a while to take off when i accelerate. Like there is a slight delay or something.

Advises will be appreciated.

CocoaOla:
any misfire? engine light on?

steevy:


Yeah. Engine light is on. Scan detected AF sensor, oxygen sensor and ECM/PCM unexpected voltage error codes.

CocoaOla:
check your voltage regulator should be 14 volts check wire harness ground short circuit, check your coil then oxygen sensor one of this might be the culprit

My Maintenance Tips:

1.) Change Engine Oil every 3000km (I use Mobil)
2.) Use Oando's Dexron II for the Gear Box (Abro will knock your gear) - (already mentioned)
3.) While driving be mindful not to always turn the steering to the last possible angle(helps the shaft)
4.) If you have an open roof, periodically clean the drainage hole to avoid water leaking into the car
5.) Vibrating Sound infront of the car? Check your engine sitting(already mentioned)
6.) Your single pipe radiator which used to work might not be the cause of your current over-heating...Check your water pump!
7.) Your car is not accelerating according to pedal pressure? Timing Belt might be the culprit.

Just my 2cents guys. Hope this helps someone. I luv this thread like I luv my Honda.

Try oyingbo Honda market

I read number 7 and I think I understand what you mean. I drive a sienna but the car sometimes drags on the high way. I don't know if drags is the right word here but exactly as you described. I will apply the accelerator at times to floor level but the car will not move according. I have changed plugs, serviced nozzle and changed gear oil, no change. Are you saying is timing belt?

mystiquerebirth:
Please, what is the recommended engine oil and brake fluid for Honda City 2009?

mystiquerebirth:
