thebigkendo:Yes, P2185 - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit High. |
thebigkendo:I never implied you said so. I get that compensation point. My point is that the ECU cannot flawlessly compensate with ECT 1, the flaws will not prevent overheating even though the ECU has tried its best to compensate but it is far from accurate. If it will flawlessly compensate, then ECT 2 would have been useless and unnecessary. I never said ground to body. He didnt tap ground from body, but out of the bunch of several wires where the single ECT 2 wire came from he chose one that passed but had no voltage, stripped a portion and tapped as second wire to the ECT 2. Whatever the electrician did, right or wrong, it worked. No ECT code and everything works fine till this day its like that. The mechanics who installed the engine did a lot of damage to harnesses and connectors. Basically, wires were ripped from connectors of ECT 1, ECT 2, Knock Sensor, O2 sensor B1S2, 3 of 4 connectors to the VTEC actuator spool and the 2 oil switch on the VTEC spool where broken. The 2 oil switch and 6 of the 7 broken connectors where replaced leaving B1S2 flying. While 1 wire to the ECT 2 was no where to be found until the tap. I was the one who connected all the ripped connectors and proper tapped them with abro insulation tape. The ECT was my only problem till the overheating happened. That modification will definitely throw up a code. I am telling you only one code is there, P0141 - O2 Bank 1 Sensor 2 Heater Circuit Malfunction. The wires is hanging lose till now because even if we fix it we will still be faced with P0420 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1 which was there from day 1. |
Dino Melaye should choose his friends wisely else they ruin him. |
thebigkendo:Well, in my 2003, it is fixed. 96 on, 92 off. On the 08, its 98 on 94 off when ECTs are connected but when ECT 2 is not connected, there is no sure value and sometimes failing completely. Also, the 3 occasions i described happened twice on the old engine and once on a new engine. The missing wire was ground so the elect just tapped from anywhere. The radiator plastic top that broke was replaced and overheating became history. The engine change wasnt overheating related. It was crank shaft, bearings and oil pump related. Lets not assume ECT 2 is useless just because fan comes on and off on idle. |
GodSaveMe18:I have a friend who uses it to have sex with his numerous girlfriends. If he doesnt take it, he will not live up to expectations with any of them. It delays ejaculation so he would last far longer than ordinary. He takes 100mg 2-3 hrs before action (dont try this at home). |
thebigkendo:I hail bro. To be precise, the hose affected was a small one called coolant separator line which delivers coolant to the throttle body. The leak itself was a tiny one and was whistling when i suddenly looked a my temp gauge to catch it far off normal. Water i replaced next morning to offset the loss was like a quarter of a liter since i stopped the leak quick enough. With the leak, i expected the coolant to be boiling but there was nothing. My friend's water was boiling at 114 while my coolant was not at 113degrees. I was in a holdup he was on a freeway. Going back to the fan switch issue. That engine overheated 2days after installing a toks engine that was bought close to 300k, imagine how stunned we were. One wire to the ECT sensor was missing so it wasnt connected. Before that episode, i had issues with not connecting the wire on the previous engine so we were to get and electrician to sort it out. Let me tell you my experience with that sensor and this experience happened 3 times with the same car, all leading to overheating. Like you said correctly, with the sensor disconnected, fan toggles on and off. There is however, more problems to deal with not counting the code. On the 3 occasions this wire was not connected on this car, the car overheated abnormally with no probable cause. On all 3 occasions, car will overheat but temp gauge remains at normal position until the ignition is turned off and on again then it flies to the sky. On 2 of the occasions, having known there is an over heating issue, my scanner was connected for a live scan. On both occasions, live scan temp didnt correspond to temp gauge until the ignition is turn off and on again. On the 3 occasions, temp was above 110 (precisely 111, 114, 117) but fan was off at the instance of discovery. The question i have no answer to is why would the fan be off at over a 100degrees? On normal live scans, fan toggles on at 98degrees on the 2008 accord while on my 2003 accord, 96 degrees (all at idle). My last discovery was that, during live scans, with the sensor disconnected, the normal toggle on and off at 98 and 94degrees resp. changed. It became 104 and 96degress on and off resp at idle. When driving, it could hit 110 without turning on until i park, a minute later, it will come on and go off even before temp safely goes down. What i mean to say is the the fan actually went bizarre but it works. Lastly, one thing i always do when a car overheats is to turn off the engine, turn back ignition to on but not starting the engine, turn on the AC. This usually starts the fan immediately. I do this to cool the engine for 2 mins or more before doing anything. I did this on all overheating experience with both cars. In fact, i drove my 2003 home on AC after the overheating episode and my fan was coming on with the AC clutch without experiencing overheating. My conclusion was that, for whatever reason, i wont risk driving a 2008 accord with a disconnected ECT sensor. Modified Yes the car has ECT 1 and ECT 2. I think the radiator one is ECT 2. I did notice one more thing during live scans and by the placement of the 2 sensors. ECT 1 is placed at the coolant outlet of the engine while ECT 2 is placed at the radiator outlet. There is bound to be a temperature difference with the 2 sensors. My guess is as good as yours that the ECU is programmed to turn on the fan as a precaution when there is no input from ECT 2. ECT 1 is the engine temp used by the ECU to determine stoichiometric values while ECT 2 controls engine temperature or tells the status of the cooling system. Back to live scan, i did notice that fan toggles on at 98degrees, it takes sometime before the temp starts rolling back then fan goes off at 94 degrees. As at when fan goes off temp keeps going down to about 92 before it starts climbing. My car does same, fan is on at 96, goes off at 92 but the temp keeps going down to 89/90 even after the fan is off. This delay means the sensor that i am reading is not close to the one that the fan relies on, giving the explanation to why there are 2 sensors far from each other on the same system. So ECT 1 is engine coolant outlet temp and ECT 2 is engine coolant inlet temp. Naturally, i would expect some repercussions if either of the sensors does not report. ECT 1 would cause fuel trim issues, ECT 2 will cause cooling system errors. |
thebigkendo:Yes, but on one condition, if there is no leak. Once, there is a leak, it will boil at 100degrees. Usually, most unrecognizable leaks come from the radiator cover not sealing properly. |
Inception:To the bolded, particularly the radiator. Water boils at 100 and freeze at 0. Coolant boils at 106 and freeze at -37. It is critical to use coolant in an area where atmospheric temperatures goes below zero. The small increase in boiling point of coolant is also important. The last and only time my engine over heated, the temperature reached 113. At that temp, the coolant was not boiling but the pressure was very high that it found a weak point. It was a weak hose clip that coolant leaked from. A twist of the clip re-tightened and the leak stopped. My friend's car over heated to 114, his radiator broke due to high pressure. Mine was a 4 cyl 2003 accord with coolant and my friend's was a 4 cyl 2008 accord with water. In my case, the coolant temp sensor/fan switch stopped working which caused the over heating while my friend's car was a broken wire to the same sensor. These are 2 practical cases expressing why water is not suitable as coolant. The next point to consider is radiator caps, which are the pressure valves of cooling systems. As coolant temp gets higher so does pressure. Radiator caps will contain the pressure up to a set psi, beyond that, the valve will open to relieve the system. This sends water to the reserve tank and overfilling then spilling the coolant. A bad radiator cap will either hold too much or too little pressure. When this cap is bad holding too little pressure, water will boil at 100degrees and spill at the slightest heating causing overheating due to loss of coolant. In this case coolant has a 6 degree advantage. If the cap holds too much pressure, water will have more pressure than coolant because pressure spikes during boiling. Pipes or the radiator itself could burst having experienced more pressure than they were meant to carry. If cap is good holding adequate pressure, boiling point of coolant will be higher than.A 6 degree increase in boiling point of coolant is very good to avoid spilling the coolant or damaging cooling system. |
Is it a coincidence that i bought my car in 2013 corresponding to the year with highest imports. The period shows how GEJ shared the country's wealth. |
Madlov3:A barber cannot barb his own hair like he will others. So he takes himself to another but no matter how good this barber is, he will have criticisms and fault or direct his fellow barber on how to get it right. You are a good cook and she isnt. You both have different backgrounds and taste in several things. Now you know marriage is not a bed of roses, start making your bed with her. Passing bad comments on her cooking is enough to erode her confidence. Identify her weaknesses and develop them by involving yourself. You were not supposed to make a comment immediately, next time you cook and tell her thats how to you like it. She will get the message. My wife didnt know how to cook noodles. Overcooking and stuff. I did the cooking when it comes to noodles till i called her, and told her how to do it. Now she does it very well that she does let anyone do it for her. |
KingTugreat:True. Most Nairalanders analyze politics with their hearts forgeting what truely counts. |
PDP will be making a big mistake fielding Saraki. 1. North West always ordains the president. I dont see saraki getting support from NW. 2. The second point is that SW always align with NW and together, they are the unbeatable power blocks. 3. Its my strong opinion that the next president will be from NW Buhari or not, Saraki is NC. PDP has the best chance with a NWesterner. 4. SE are putting hopes on 2023, Saraki president in 2019 will jettison 2023 for SE to 2027. Anything other than Buhari is a plan against SE 2023 5. SW are tricky, they have not shown interest but i know Tinubu wants 2023. Support Buhari 2019 and he will earn a NW payback in 2023. Anything other than Buhari is against a Southern president in 2023. Lets watch and see. APC may be falling but Buhari stands to gain from those southerners that are looking towards a power shift due in 2023. Elect Saraki and see a tyrant stick to power till 2027. Who wants that? |
This comparison should have been 2010 E350 vs 2010 Acura TL |
obekediamondfuto:If k leg is real, how many recalls has there been for it? K leg should be a big safety concern for the entire Honda brand if it was real. Issues as small as hoses, floor mat etc but a big one as bíg as a whole ball joint pulling out has no recalls for what reason. Are Americans afraid of the Japanese that class actions suits have not been filed against Honda for a gross safety issue? Please, no cover for the carelessness of some car owners. The last k leg i saw was on a 2008 Camry! Some people will shout impossible. |
Rachelsblog:He/She can buy beards, remove his/her boobs, buy a baritone voice, hell, even get bald if he/she likes but cannot, never, in any way get a d.ck. The joy of a man is to f..k. This guy wanna be is still a woman til he f..ks. |
saintjoel:How much do you think would clear 2012 Benz C250 1.8L |
nurey:Its not just infinity, Japanese engines in general produce more power and more fuel efficiency for same sized Benz engines year in year out. |
uniquetechng:Higher curb weight is a setback bro. Higher torque will be wasted by the higher curb weight. |
2010 E350 and 2010 Avalon would race to death but a 2010 C350 is just a tad better. What would kill the E350, C350 and the Avalon is a simple 2007 Accord V6 aka discussion continues. Apparently, the speed breaker is just power to weight ratio. Put a W16 Bugatti engine in a Boeing 747 and it will hardly taxi nor taste the sky. But put a Kia Picanto engine on a power bike, you will see speed records. This is basically the reason a C350 will beat an E350. From around 2005/6 Benz with the 350 badge have the same engine. Name them, E350, C350, SLK350, CLK350, ML350, S350 etc. The only difference is the curb weight of the car which determines the how fast the engine would pull the car (leaving the minor gearing ratio and other torque matters aside). Its the same reason the 2007 Accord (DC) would dust most of its own successors.

My next phone will be Xiaomi. It has more international reputation than any Chinese made phone. It is followed by Huawei. Gionee is sticking too much to Mediatek processors which i am tired of. Xiaomi all the way. |
Corolla is not a very low car, so its better to use the recommended tire. 195/65R15 or worst case 195/70R15. |
HeavenlyBang:Rav 4 is more mummy than CRV. You hardly see men driving that car. Its like a Matrix in Agbada! |
I have learnt to always ask my mechanic to try cheaper options before buying a part. Mechanics will always be quick to tell you replace this or that when the problem may one quick fix. After changing brake master cylinder on my mums car, one front wheel stopped supplying hydraulic on the ABS pump. Several mechanics tried to unblock the line with no success. The whole ABS module was 35k and i couldn't afford it then. An ABS bypass was suggested but i rejected the idea since the car will have permanent ABS light while the car had permanent Airbag and TPMS lights in trying to resolve. It would turn Christmas so i didnt like the idea. I managed the car for about a month hoping to buy the ABS module. One day, going into the car in a rush i opened the door and stepped on the brake pedal while trying to sit. The pedal went flat and i knew that port opened. Over half a year, the failed line has been working perfectly. Most times, its preferable to ask the mechanic to buy the part so that if the problem persists, he knows how to settle with his dealer. In that case, you demand guarantee from the mechanic especially if his diagnosis is wrong. Just recently, i knew my stabilizer linkage was bad, took it to the mechanic who bought new ones for me to install. Luckily, it was one of the bolts that came out and the linkage was hanging freely. He was able to get my refund. |
gabbytabby:Its usually not the same level. You admit to it. The actual level for openings other than doors is 11th courses while doors and windows are 10th courses. Based on design or styling, openings such as porches, veranda, passages etc have arches start from 10th course or even lower. I have seen an arch that started from 7th course. Basically, the actual level for the openings is 11th. This is especially true if you have no design. |
Xander85:Please, this is judiciary appointments. It is 100% strictly quota system. If one justice dies from SS a justice cannot be appointed from SE to replace him not to talk of appointing someone from the north. Other federal appointments are on federal character principle. Yes, juicy portfolio has been skewed in the North's favour but not the appointments in general. |
legitnow:Aiya. Such display of ignorance. Are you not aware that they operate a quota system? There must be an SS vacancy for an SS Justice to be appointed. All these appointments are filling a vacancy in their respective regions. If you want SS and SE appointments, pray that all their Justices should die by tomorrow morning. You will see appointments that are strictly Igbo and SE. |
There is one thing that can help the op. If he has proof that the money he withheld is as a result of the company asking him to submit all company equipment in his position without paying him his entitlements. This means that the money with him was not due to be submitted long ago, if it was, that would be stealing. In other words, it is a better reason to withhold company money for your entitlements if you are convinced you were being fired rather than for the delay in payment of entitlements while still working. Op should change his case saying, "they asked me to submit all company properties in my possession but i withheld this amount that was just due to be paid for my entitlements". I believe a court can force them to settle. |
Timtol:The problem of gravel is beyond compaction even though the actual definition of gravel has more to do with particle size than anything. The problems has to do with the rock parent material, size and surface texture. Granite is the most prefered rock. A rough surface texture is prefered to smooth. Size of 5-20mm is suitable. |
sirlegend:In Nigeria, most people have need for it only when their cars have shifting issues. Especially downshifting problems. |
obekediamondfuto:Hilarious. Just like the R for Race mode, D for Day mode and N for Night mode while non for reverse. |
Explorers:If to say na Dino Melaye get this kind money, na 4 battalion of soldiers got dey escort am. |
Amagite2:See as the 1996 Honda civic park so far, make dem no use im car buy brake pad. |
