Looks like your engine is on it's way out from your description.
Ask someone to drive behind you and observe the smoke that comes out from your exhaust when you floor the pedal while driving.

No smoke at all

My 2007 crv is consuming a lot of oil, in less than 200miles the oil level will go below the second dot, and the fuel consumption is not helping at all at 85mile half tank is gone, right now full thank Can't give me up to 200miles self.

Car drives well, no black smoke, oxigen sensor is very OK.

But I think engine sound is not encouraging, the oil consumption is shocking me and no leakage
Business / Re: See The Amount My Daddy Bought 10bags of Cement 32yrs Ago (see Here) by Androidking: 3:08pm On Feb 18
Richtaiwo:
Well, not by any chance supporting the current situation of the country, but this comparison no follow at all. If you go backward to let's say 1980, the cost of a bag of cement may even be less than N20. Minimum wage now is 30k, which is being reviewed. What was the average earnings in 1992? Even in the US, where you all take as model, prices of commodities in the nineties are not the same today. Global inflation is the word. As I said, I'm not by any chance supporting the current harsh situation in Nigeria but that comparison is off track.

You are wrong it is , to compare ,this is not global but nigeria only , and the worst part is u can't even say the reasons for it ,

For economy to fail it's usually natural disaster, illness, war etc , but nigeria own ,it's typical bad leadership , 100% bad and clueless learder

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Advise Me On This Job Offer, I Am Confused And Sad by Androidking: 3:09pm On Jan 16
Joboffer24:
Hello Nairalanders,

So recently I got a job which office is situated on the island of Lagos but I live on the mainland. My current job is also on the island but it is hybrid which makes me convenient for me to do some little errands to earn money to survive.

The problem is that the pay in the offer letter which is between 100 to 110k is not what we discussed during the interview, it is half of the amount I told them. I am about to reject the offer as I can't keep up with it and I am planning to reject it politely.

If I remove daily transport and feeding from it, I will be  less with less than 15k and this is not a 3 square meal routine. It is barely a 2 square meal on a 1k per day. Tfare will take me like 1700 per day and it means I can't save any dime on this money.

My current job expires this month and the pay is the same with this new one but just that it is hybrid, I don't have to go to work everyday as I can work from home and also go to office. It is favourable as I could save some money and also attend to the responsibilities on my neck like house rent, utility bills, and family things, mind you, I am not married and I do not have a girlfriend.

Also I am running an ICAN programme that will consume money and time but the issue is that the money offered by this new job can only cover up for my tfare and feeding...

I am about to reject the offer but I need nairalanders opinion, am I making the right decision?

I am still applying for more role... I work as a finance personnel and I have more than a year experience.

To be honest, my interest would have to secure a position in an auditing firm as a trainee. I have no experience in auditing but I want to build a career in this profession before I finish my ICAN programme but the problem is that I am yet to get the opportunity.

I am a fast learner as in very fast learner,Communicate excellently, pay attention to details and I enjoy multitasking.

Please advise me before I reject this offer

I believe u have saved up enough from your old job , so u can survive like a month without work , so use like one month to source for another company or firm or u rather negotiate with the company to increase your money #170k with future increment , please don't accept it , rest of mind is expensive, so don't enter into what will drain u , just to show u are jobless

This one is a beast, I installed a large 85L capacity CNG tank in the boot. It fills up at over 23SCM. It does 246km on 23SCM ₦4,600 (IBAFO - Benin )

It's a Camry 2012 with a 2GR V6 Engine 3.5L.

Again for clarity 246Km on ₦4600



This mileage improvement, is it because of cng gas only or combination of CNG and good Engine.?

I mean after installation fo u still service the Engine to Ensure efficiency or just plug and play

I picked up the challenge on MPG
The feedback dy do me somehow, Camry 2007 with 4plugs

I did 308km on the car and refilled with 71.06liters

That should be around 10mpg, 1L to 3.5km

Please help me review the calculation, is like I go sell this car this year.

City drive, AC on and Off

I think u did 308miles not 308km

When u convert 308miles to km u will get About 490km

How do we know the original ATF when we see it

You say you have a check engine light on your dash.

It has been there ever since you purchased the vehicle.

Why not go to new market or alaba and get a good electrician to scan the vehicle for you and get out its trouble codes so that you will know what and what to replace or service to make your problems go away? undecided

Yes will do that, I like to learn and know more , because I read Honda Transmission is sensitive and requires good technician to work on it , I want to be updated before they do all sorts of things in my car . It's my first Honda Car

Do you have a check engine light on your dash?

It was der when I bought the car , drove it from Abuja to Owerri , someone help me purchase it ,I noticed thr jerking during shifting on my way from Abuja to Enugu, ..

Now like a week ago I start experiencing jerking when I want to shift from park to Reserve or drive or D1-2 . ...

But if I off the ignition and start the car , it will correct and start shifting properly.

From your solution I have seen similar solutions on YouTube and I think for Crv some of the solenoid are accessible from outside, I just have to save up and get ready.

First is to remove the old ATF and put new one . And make sure it's not overfilled. Den start from there .

You can use any good brand injector cleaner you see for sale at those big brand petrol station pumps. If you know your injectors are partially clogged with dirty it is proper procedure to go to your mechanic for a tune up where he will clean your throttle body off carbon and then remove all your injectors and clean them one by one manually with some fuel and battery. For me if I feel my injectors might be partially clogged and I want to clean it without using all those fancy injector cleaners i usually fill my tank to half and then buy one litre of pain thinner and pour it into my fuel tank (note that paint thinner is very corrosive so make sure you have enough fuel in your tank before you think of trying this method as it might destroy the seals on your injectors if you didn't dilute it properly).

The proper gearbox fluid for tour ho da crv is ATF-DW1. Don't use anything (else except a proper dextron 3 which is temporary and must be replaced with the original fluid within 3,000 kilometres ro be safe) in order not to create problems with your transmission system.

As for the issue you're experiencing with your gearbox (which I marked in bold up there in your writeup) . I have experienced it before. Mine was a shift flare while shifting up from gear 1 to gear 2 only. With the help of a scan I was able to pinpoint the culprit after spending much on changing transmission fluid twice (I used a fake first and then switched to the original one) , cleaning the solenoids on the exterior of the gearbox and changing my transmission range switch.

I documented the procedure used in tackling the issue in the posts below :

https://www.nairaland.com/996664/maintenance-tips-honda-cars/342#112199773

But remember I was able to pinpoint the issue I had because I ran a scan. It was a small issue. I was initially thinking i would soon buy another gearbox and was saving up towards that before i found the issue. Scanning is important so you will know what exactly you need to look at in your gearbox.

Thanks Alot my new experience now , sometimes if I start the car and engaged gear to either R-D 1-2 any of these the car will jerk and when off thr car and start again it will engage smoothly , did u experience that too and i think my gear oil is over filled

Androidking:



What is the reason of delay shift in gear , especially when u want to shift from 40mph to 60mph,(within a short period of time ) immediately its about reach 60mph the car jerks sometimes it will continue to jerk .

Most at times I will remove my leg from throttle and accelerate slowly , with that method I can go up 80-100mph
....

But I know it's not proper I don't have to apply throttle gently always especially when I reach a stop or try to over take another car , I may not succeed because if I accelerate (heavy apply on throttle) it will jerk while shifting from one gear to another . And it's usually dangerous while trying to over take on high way .

Hello house ,was driving then suddenly,my dashlights came on,my car Kia rio refused to start nor crank,which was quite strange,cause my battery is still good,barely three months,called my mechanic he connected one wire from the battery to the starter,it crank but didn't start,he disabled my car security,still no start, next he claims I should go and buy a new brainbox,which didn't sit well with me.i manage to call few guys who helped push it to my area of abode.i feel the brain box is not bad , maybe he doesn't know what to do,I need help and suggestions 🙏

Have experience that , when ever the security is affected and it didn't start it's usually thr brainbox , see what u do meet with the seller and tell him if the car didnt start , u wont pay him , if it starts u pay him ,

That's what I did they changed the ECU it starts , some times brainbox may not be the issue but that's how my Rx300 happened, although the electrician checked 90% of all possible reasons before concluding it's the brainbox . Any way after that I sold the car

Do police have the jurisdiction to demand nor ask for driver's license?

I was highly frustrated today, while I was on my way rushing to an event to meet up with the 10:00 AM deadline for the event which I was also the chairman, a group of some fiercely-looking police officers flagged down my vehicle and I slowed down.

One of the officers came towards my vehicle, ordered me to come out from the car and started demanding for my driver's license. I was like, what is going on?

In as much as I am aware that police officers have taken it upon themselves to be asking people for their vehicle particulars, which is a good way of tracking stolen cars, they asked for it and I provided it, but asking people for their driver's license is what I think is out of the picture.

I tried to exercise my right as a citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by briefly dragging it with them initially, which I think this issue of police asking for driver's license had raised dust sometime ago, but I realized that I'm still in Nigeria, last last, I settled with 5k, this is with abeg o, after several hours and minutes had gone by, I arrived the event place by 01:15 PM, an event slated for 10:00 AM.

like I said earlier, asking for car particulars from people by the police is good, but asking for driver's license is where I think the issue lies. I thought anything that has to do with checking of drivers license is strictly under the jurisdiction of the FRSC?

I'm feeling nothing but anger and cheated which gave rise to many questions going through my mind;
Who gave the police officers the jurisdiction to be asking for driver's license?
Is there any amended law(s) that granted the police force that power?



Oga the have the right to ask u haba ,for u to ask that question sounds some how , how can u even do that , na wow , I wished they detained you for the rest of the day , how can u be driving on high way , and expect police not to check your license, ..... Now ur arrogance cost you your time and money , if your papers and license are intact police will never harass u , impossible .
