Morning guys, I just scanned my car now and it brought up this code. P0420 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1

Does that mean I need to change catalyst? It was confirmed that catalyst was in the vehicle but I’m now confused

Your catalytic converter is bad. Replace it

Other causes include exhaust leaks which happened to me and code disappeared after it Das fixed. You can also try cleaning the cat. Look up videos

Really?

as Dozieson had said, that your P0420 code does not necessarily mean your catalyst is bad.

It might be that your exhaust has a leak

It might be that your engine burns some oil which fouls the o2 sensors

Or maybe your o2 sensors are not behaving well for the brainbox to be happy

Find the underlying issue and fix it then that code will go away

Good morning everyone.

My steering is hard to turn when entering corners or a roundabout.

The pump is good and my mechanic thinks it is the steering rack.

I don't have much for new one.

The car is Honda Accord 2007.

Questions

1. Should I rebuild it?

2. Should I buy toks or must buy a new one?

Please I need your help on this.

Thank you all.
Buy toks. Rebuild doesn't last.

Please gurus in the house I need urgent help.

I have a Honda Civic 2004. The automatic transmission slips after sometime of use(I cannot say exactly how many kilometers the car covers before it happens). But once I switch off the engine and start it again, the transmission works perfectly. Then if I continue to use it, after a certain no of kilometers, the transmission will stop working again.

When I took it to a gear technician, the problem did not come up so the person said I should bring it when the problem occurs.

Please i need urgent help before the transmission dies completely.

Good evening everyone.

Is there an alternative to Honda power steering fluid?

Any alternative fluid that will not damage the rack or the pump?

All the other alternatives will slowly eat away at your pump And rack seals and they will break down, leak and lose pressure sooner than later.

Go to oyibgbo and look for the main Honda power steering fluid and buy for your vehicle or contact luvinhubby here for it.

After servicing, I believe you should reset the oil life. This is why it is good to read your car manual. I am also a new car owner. I have downloaded my car manual and read it like I was preparing for an examination.

Good day Oga Gazzuzz and all car expert in here.

I drive Honda Civic 08, the fuel pump and filter have been changed, i have also changed the air flow meter, upstream oxygen sensor and coolant temperature sensor.

The worst part of it though is that after i changed the above mentioned the engine still shutoff while trying to accelerate in idling, with the dashboard lights coming on. The car can be restarted immediately though. It normally occurs when the Air Condition is on, and i also notice my D(dive) green light blink at times when driving

The car is an American spec

Your advice will be highly appreciated

Thanks.

did you scan the car before changing all these sensors?

The "d" light blinking is not a good sign oo, something is wrong with your transmission

Please go and do a full car scan.
