My CR-V 08 was impacted. Had to change the radiator and, fans and some body work. The mechanic earlier suggested i change the gear/transmission sensor cos it was impacted. When he came back, he said he was able to fix the sensor but i may notice some revving sound when moving.
Drove the car today and noticed the revving sound once i hit 40km/h but the noise disappeared almost immediately. I had to slow dwn for traffic and all of a sudden the car died and refused to start. Only warning light on was the blinking "grin- Drive" sign.

The mechanic i called said it was most likely the sensor that caused it and the engine has "knocked". Engine doesnt turn even after the belt has been removed.

The mech advised i buy a half engine(around 220k with servicing) or replace crankshaft, sensors and the likes with 100k.
My challenge is if his submission is right and if the crankshaft option is viable. I dnt really have money for a half engine nw though but wont want to waste 100k either.

What are the cost of the parts?

Update.

The swapping of the clutch pressure solenoids work for maybe a mile or 2. It started dropping after a couple more miles. Meaning it's an internal damage. Gear had been dropped for a tear-down and inspection to help us know what's wrong.

Fingers are crossed.

MORE UPDATE
gear rebuild completed and was reinstalled. The transmission guy said the only problem with the internal unit was the "selector", which he replaced, all he did was basically tear apart, clean and reassemble which i'm very pleased with. nothing beats you knowing nothing is "manage it" within my gear unit.
I went to pick it up on Saturday.
Apart from the fact that the mechanic blew up my radiator (didn't fasten the bonnet support well, it fell and hooked one of the fans, caused the engine to overheat and the radiator multiple leakages) fixed radiator then test drove to notice difficulty in shifting to second gear, Mechanic mentioned the refill (with 6 quarts) wasn't to guage so we topped up the ATF (yeah, DW-1) with half quart more.
The drive back home was okay(shifting was smooth, gear ration was within range) except for noises from the front wheels. At first, i thought the tyres weren't tightly nutted, tightened them, pushed the pan behind the knuckles further back and the noise sort of disappeared only to reappear on monday morning. I noticed as the vehicle was pulling out, it was making screeching brake noises on acceleration but i shrugged it off thinking the brake rotors were just getting warmed up, but i was wrong.

Truck drove to lekki and back under duress. I (I wasn't the driver) took it round and discovered (by luck) the front brake calipers were stuck closed causing the gear and engine undue suffering. CEL. smell of burnt ATF and D was flashing, Half filled tank was almost empty, engine cooling system was over-stressed (cooling cycle was like 45sec apart).
first of all, we got the brake system and the calipers serviced, Got a scanner for codes and as expected Clutch pressure control solenoid valve A was stuck. Nothing was done to the solenoid yet, simply cleared the error to see if it will resurface after a couple more miles of driving before servicing or replacing it. I've decided to leave the oil too for a little longer before draining. All seems fine again. Vehicle is still under observation for the next month and fingers are still crossed. Warranty cover on said transmission repair lasts for a month from pick-up date. Transmission guy is regularly updated per each hiccup and/or fixes.
Any advise on this or what to look out for will be appreciated. people of God, my pocket is paining me.

Hi Honda gurus. I intend getting a 2008 Honda Accord (as I hear this one doesn't have the ball joint abi leg wahala) as opposed to getting a 2007 Toyota Camry with oil burning issue.

2008 is a first year in that series. Always good to avoid first years cos of issues they fix in subsequent years.

After 10years , the accords of 08, 09, '10 and '11 are at the same level of reliability in my opinion. Most prominent problem of the of the 08 was back brakes prematurely wearing out, definitely aftermarket parts must have done the fix we fear

if you find a very good and clean one , have it properly inspected by a very good mechanic, get it. It's way way better than 07 Camry and has no leg pull issues.

Whether the 2.0, 2.4 or V6 variant, reliable suspensions, dependable transmissions, just Vtech actuator issue with the 2.4 engine range.


Just stick with recommended fluids for engine and gears.

Greetings house.
A special hailing to all the motor gurus in the house.
I drive a 2005 Honda Accord v6 which has been giving me headache of late. All 3 inner cylinders are refusing to fire after injectors were cleaned. The car has been scanned and rescanned but no codes are coming up. The Mech has been on this issue since morning but nothing to show for it, now he's saying it's an electrical fault.
Please anyone with an idea on what the issue might be should help out

Yoruba has a saying "witch cry for night, pikin die for morning" who no know say nah the witch kill the pikin.

The issue he is looking for should be with the injectors, injectors are cleaned I. special bathe with a device not using of any how cleaner because the injector is a delicate part. Let him swap injectors to those cylinder not working and he can pinpoint the issue.

The issue maybe he knows you will blame him for spoiling the injector grin so he is dribbling you to succumb to the bill of repairs. please don't go and beat the mechanic, find solution and move on.

Hi guys..

My Honda accord 2008 has its CEL on. Scanned and got codes pointing to the crankshaft sensor. Car drives smoothly only that it misfires (jerks) like once in 2 months.
Whenever this happens, the CEL starts blinking and the car goes into LIMP mode. Electricians here seem clueless about a solution - they only use the scanner to clear the CEL, after which it comes on again.

I have changed the crankshaft sensor but the while issue still persists

P.S - I also experience hard starting, especially in the mornings

Please help guys - issue is driving me nuts.

Hi guys.

I replaced the sensor and the issues disappeared for a while...only for them to come up again.

Abeg make una help me - I don tire sad

Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by drakeskull(m): 2:16pm On Feb 13, 2020
Had similar issue with my 08 Accord. I initially thought it was the sensor but it turned out to be my positive battery head that was bad. Changed the positive terminal (less than 200 naira) and VOILA!! That might be your case too.

Hard starting might be fuel pump issue
