Good morning
Please can anyone refer a competent Honda Gear specialist for me in Ibadan.

I believe Timifakay is in IB

Jollos:
Thanks for your response sir.

I scanned today, the guy said the 3 sensor connecting to the engine are bad. He said that was the only thing that came up from the scanner.
I asked him if the scanner brought up anything about catalyst and he said no.
Maybe I should take it from there

I believe it would be wise if you could get the error codes and post here so we can help guide your repair.
As mentioned by autologic, the absence of catalyst is not the cause of your "presumed high fuel consumption"

Jollos:
Good afternoon all ogas,

I travel to and fro Ife from Lagos with my newly acquired pathfinder, it was a smooth journey but I used 15k fuel to and fro. Although I was informed before buying the car there were no catalyst In the exhaust.

One thing I noticed about the car was it won't accelerate more than 120km/h once it is approaching 130 it will slow down by itself. Could this be a serious problem?

I priced catalyst and is above 100k which I can't afford now.

Do I have a remedy to catalyst that will save cost, and will it reduce fuel consumption? Pathfinder 2004 model

Thanks in anticipation.

Pls note this, *personally* I do not agree to catalyst causing a terribly high consumption. The function of the catalyst is to lower emission of poisonous gases. So my advice will be in line with my personal belief.
So I will advice you look elsewhere for the problem.
1. Have you tried to note how much distance you travel for certain amount of fuel and then compare with what the manufacturer stated?
Have you tried to scan the vehicle since you bought it?
Is the vehicle naija used or tokunbo?
Several things can cause that issue of the car not going beyond 130km/hr. It could be because of a speed limiter or engine performance problem.

My gearbox was licking oil and I went to a mechanic, they told me that is from the gearbox pump which i changed and it was moving fine. as i was driving, I slow down at a police check point. And when i tried to accelerate it was not driving. But it reverse.
Please what could be the cause?
What should i do?
Please i need your help.

Sorry for late reply.
Whatever the problem is, it is most likely from the gear. Probably the pump wasn't fixed well.
For peace of mind if you can't find a competent gear specialist pls plan to replace the gear. ..

@OP hope there are no hidden issues due from the steering wheel conversion?

LeJeun3:


I am wondering seriously. It's going extinct

.wow...

Jamal64:
it was the gear shifter , no brake switch fault.

is it fixed now?

donuba61:
Please help a distress soul. Let me start from the beginning. I changed my car engine like 3 months ago in the cause of connecting the ac compressor, the rewire burned my brain box. I changed the brain box which was reprogrammed. After that the gear box keeping disengaging in motion. I was advice advice to change the gear box which I did 3 days ago but the new gear box is still disengaging in motion like the formal one. The mechanic is now suggesting that maybe the person that did the brain box programming didn't do it well. Please my people come to my aid. Please what should I do? Do u think the mechanic is right? Car is civic 2008

The programing that was done has to do with the immobilizer system i.e programming the Brainbox to the key. I do not see why the gear will disengage because of key programming.
in all these issues, have you tried to scan the vehicle for any error codes stored?

LeJeun3:

LR3 are becoming increasingly scarce now .....
I don't know why

why chief?

Churock:
Good afternoon Gurus. Thanks for ya input so far. Please I noticed that when I’m on Drive or reverse, my Mercedes C320 becomes shaky but if I select the gear to P or N it becomes normal. NB: if I fire on the car while in D it will be ok oo but once I apply brake it becomes really shaky but engine doesn’t go off. In my pathfinder suv, normally there’s a way to high the engine but I can see such here. Kindly suggest to me what to do

Regards

check your engine and gear seats as suggested.
if found ok
then scan the vehicle.
alot of things can cause the vehicle to shake when put in drive but the easiest could be a dirty throttle body causing restriction to airflow at idle or you have a weak spark (coil or spark plug).
to avoid throwing parts, pls start with scanning the ECU to see if there are any fault codes stored.

Jamal64:
My car is a 2010 Mercedes benz w204 avant-garde.

The below usually happens when I am about to park my car.

My auto transmission gear most of the time is very hard to bring back to R coming from D. It is like getting stuck for a while in neutral and I will finally be able to shift after few minutes of waiting. Sometimes it feels like I could brake something inside if I force to change the gear.

But once the gear was successfully in, then it will all of a sudden very smooth to change gears from anywhere I want to. Weird part is It only happens when the vehicle was fresh from being driven and was about to be parked. Gear for some reason is getting stuck in neutral for a few minutes. Any idea? Thank you all
in advance.

scan to ensure there is no brake switch fault. fault is most likely you gear selector.

OfficialDJ:
valve body is the most likely culprit

Gear selector. not valve body.

johnonuh:
I need help with my tiny light Camry, when on motion sometimes the gear doesn't engage, it will just be firing unless I release my leg from the pedal and then fire again before it picks, what should I do please.

1. Kindly scan to see if there is any trouble codes stored pertaining to the Transmission.
2. Check transmission fluid level and quality. If dirty or smelling burnt, change the oil with a better quality ATF. Pls dont put in cheap oil like the fake abros everywhere.
Hopefully it is resolved, if otherwise we proceed with diagnosis

What is your own candid advice??

Smaller car, smaller engine, easy to maintain and strong enough to take the naija road beating.

Just to increase profit naani

congratulations...

Proxyhandsome:
Thanks to everyone that share their view..
More comment is needed

test for a while....

for a non-compromised cooling system that is very normal. as suggested drive longer distance band monitor it to see.

if it goes higher than that then you should find the problem. but I know the temperature getting half-way is very normal

ksmart027:
You are making the wrong choices bro, i think you should look at Honda Civic or c230 all 1.8L, the lesser the fuel consumption, the more profit you make. My opinion though.

seconded.


the w203 c180/200 kompressor will equally serve too...
