(e) Engine ECU
- Permanent fault: knock sensor.
- Intermittent fault: Coolant thermistor. Coherence.
Throttle Potentiometer. Coherence.
1 ignition coil control. No spark.
Battery voltage. Low voltage.
Fan unit relay control (fan 2) high speed.

-- IMHO ..You'll need to deal with those faults under engine ECU to get your fuel consumption issue solved.
You can do well to inspect your O2 sensors as well, cos if they send false readings to Engine ECU, it can lead to getting fuel-rich mixtures which translates to higher fuel consumption

Guy you have issues.

You go to random sites looking for bad comments about Honda to display here without crediting the site. Thats pathetic.

Besides the very 1st comment you copied, how did you miss the review above it?

What makes you sure i cant get bad reviews about Benz, BMW or Audi you so much cherish. Let me give you some for the very site you copied those comments.

Wind don blow ....

Of all people as how? If na god he be for una, make una continue to dey worship am until d day wey he go fall una hands.

Lol.. who talk say na god.... There's something called integrity. When someone has integrity, you don't get to believe any allegation against them until its proven with evidences. I don't know Gazzuzz personally, but I have been following Cartalk for at least 4yrs and I have an idea of the kind of Mech he his. That doesn't mean I know everything about him or think him to be a saint.

People wey don get dealings with am dey come cartalk write am put evidence join, so pple wey they accuse am of thief too suppose put evidence before I go bliv say n thief... Guy this thing na jus common sense na.

First thing first...

Check your cooling fans.

In my opinion, cooling fans are working fine bro
they are blowing well, spinning very fast and are blowing inwards.
I tried inspecting some hoses in the cooling system while engine was idling and the A/C was on; as the A/C was cooling, the lower radiator hose gradually got warm but it later became hot to the touch, temperature gauge rose to near middle mark too.
I stopped engine when I discovered the lower radiator hose was getting hot

No visible leakage observed in cooling system too

Vehicle location?

your solution is simple, cooling system has been tampered with you need to first reverse back to specs, connect fans as they are, fix back the thermostat since you can vouch it is working, then use coolant please don't use water total coolant is 400 naira for a litre, 5 to 8L should be enough.

then run the car in three cycles watching out for
1. blue smoke from tail pipe
2. bubbles when radiator cap is removed and engine is still cold.
3. reduction in coolant level, check the radiator direct for 2days, the remaining days you use the reserve tank to confirm.

if you don't notice any of the 3 points and the temp needle sits in the middle whether AC is on or not, then you have nothing to worry about. but if any of the 3 is noticed then you need to fix whatever is causing it to avoid engine loss.

Thanks a lot nurey

timifakay:
He hasn't found a mechanic yet oh. He should put coolant in the system.

okay, what brand of coolant do you recommend sir ?

nurey:
the second mechanic that says change radiator will make your brother change car unexpectedly, he will destroy that car

the one that says pump is on to something but hanst done the required diagnosis, he needs to

confirm the thermostat isn't bad by removing and doing the hot water test

also check to make sure air isn't in your cooling system

if the car has 2 fan setup, he should check and make sure the second fan comes on (spins) when the AC is switched on whether engine is cold or not.

ensure you aren't running water in the cooling system, as water won't be able to dissipate heat from the engine which coolant would do well.

The thermostat was removed immediately the car entered naija (before he bought it) but it was kept in the car, so I picked it and did the hot water test, it passed (opened and closed properly), the fans were both connected direct ever since they removed the thermostat too.

I think we'll have to fix the overheating and return system to factory specs then.

I have the service manual but any other help or advice is welcome.

Thanks a lot bro

sultaan:
OP from your description of the problem, We need you to tell us where the needle on the thermometer is when you say overheats and have you tried to wash the outside of the radiator fins with soap and water

The needle rises from middle to the red zone(maximum )

Recently, My Brother's car started this overheating issue whenever the A.C is turned on.
He consulted two mechanics and they both gave different suggestions.
The first Mech said it is the water pump, that it is very likely it is faulty cos he checked the engine while idling with A.C ON, he opened the bonnet and opened the radiator cap, the water in the radiator shot out as the engine grew hot, he said that is abnormal, that the water should be circulating instead.

The other mechanic said the car radiator would have to be changed cos its single cell and the weather here is too hot, that's why it has grown weak within a year of usage on naija soil.

Abeg wetin una advice o
