Good morning guys, pls I drive a 2006 honda accord 4 plugs. My battery ran down and while trying to use another battery to start it I connected the terminals wrongly....now the car is completed dead, no lights, or any device is working and the car won't even start. Has anyone experienced this before. What could be the probable solutions....

Best case.. Blown main fuse..
Worse case fried ECU(brainbox)
Start by checking thus 2 fuses

Do a vin check on the history of the vehicle, may have had one vital component swapped in it, narrow down your search to the throttle body environs.
. Thanks

I want to add, when at a traffic stop, is the idle in the picture normal?

If the AC is on... No cause to worry.

Your vehicle may have a bad or unavailable resonator, popularly called down air flow meter.

Walahi, that is the near situation here, but I won't give up , because I once had the same issue in 04 accord and solved it.
I am on the third mechanic now with eagle eyes and armed with my internet findings, the vibrations must go I swear.

@adanny01 @thebigkendo. All the suggestions provided were adopted but problem persist but intermittently.

@gazzuzz @radautoworks . Location is an issue if not, but Abeg make una shook mouth for this matter

You sound concerned, drain oil and replace, could have been water that missed road.

Nothing to worry about
Thanks, replaced the oil and filter and we are good to go.

Did a scan and got a P2185 code (Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT)
Abeg, please advise before kazeem tell me something else
Edit
I actually had a recent work done on it due to an impact. The fuel pump and crankshaft had to be replaced.
Thanks

Good people of the house, kindly bail me out! It's a 09 accord i4, 2.5l which I just changed all engine mounts to original Belgium. Yet the engine vibrations persist. When ever at stops, or when I just engage the drive or reverse gears and the car is at idle, the vibrations come up, with or without AC, same vibes. But when in Park or Neutral, the cabin is sound and calm as factory setting. No CEL or codes. It's embarrassing. Several mechanics told me it's engine seatings before now. Only one of the old seatings was apparently bad, yet I changed all to avoid future stories , but the vibes continue. Pls help a brother out.

Good afternoon,

Please I have owned a 2005 Honda Accord [not v6] for about 2 months now, bought Nigeria used, car drives perfectly, but I need help on these factors
1. The fans were connected directly, and I need them back to the normal way.
2. I don't seem to like the sound of the car, it could be a bit quieter, there is this uneven sound in the serpentine belt area.
3. The check engine light is on, I'm not surprised since the fans are connected directly.

I am a 8-5 person and won't want to wake up one day and have the car die on me on 3rd mainland cheesy grin

Please advise grin grin

I want to believe the previous owner did that for a reason, I meant connected the fan directly.

You might want to ask him about that..

Now about the noise from the belt, you shd check if its slack or is your power sterring thats causing that..

Is it some whinnig noise? If its from your power sterring then you might need to change the o ring, but if its from the belt, then I recommend changing it.

Another thing could make an EOD engine rise high, thats if the rpm is above 1000rpm .

If its above 1, you might want to reduce it to around 700rpm for better fuel efficiency and serious reduction in engine noise.

About the check engine light, that I do not know oo..

I use same model too, but v6.
