Car Talk › Dearth Of Good Auto Mechanics In Port Harcourt by captainking(op): 12:14pm On Jan 02, 2019
hi cartalk family..

i have been in ph for bout 7 months now and i realise most of the mechanics here do not have technical knowledge of cars..they only know how to loose one part, change the part, test, etc without proper use of scan tools and wide understanding of live data etc..

I am saying this because i have seen lots of mechanics or kazeems fix cars without success but with the use of my pocket scan tool, i have been able to help lots of ph residents fix simple issues to their cars by scanning the car for codes, looking it up online, print it for them and tell them to tell their mechanics where to look at in the car...and wahlaaa...its fixed...like magic....all cos i have a pocket scan tool and i am no mecho..

Gurus in the house..especially those that live in port harcourt..do you know any good mechanic in port harcourt who understands the technical parts of fixing cars? who can interprete live data and can successfully explain to the layman what STFT and LTFT is..(cos most mechos here dont even know what these are)..

Do you know any mecho in ph who is close to being as good as gazzuzz, mayor2013, autologic, oluwaseun, cardoctor and other car gurus here on nairaland?? please kindly refer by dropping their contacts here...a pool of potential clients awaits them...

The car gurus here please share contacts of your auto mecho aquaintances that reside in ph..

I believe we could be helping lots of ph residents..

Thank you

...so I checked the throttle body into the IACV, there was no blockage. I cleaned the throttle body with a dry cloth. got some black sooth. After Cleaning, and 1st morning engine start, RPM needle was on 0.8 when fully warmed up, went slightly above 1.

Thats still not the behavior i expect.
its a bit high though, i though the expected behaviour is for it to be at 1k or slightly above when engine starts then probably at 0.8 when engine is fully warmed up..i guess you need to do the rpm relearn or so,,,,other gurus here can help..gazzuzz, honmusa, mayor2013...nurey..thebigkendo...obiekediamondfuto,,,come to his aid oo

Idle Air control Valve...right?

How do I confirm its blocked or not ?
Yup...yiu got it right... Well.. When servicing or cleaning the throttle body.. You would see a hole close to the entrance...most mechanics block it with foam or something else.. Check yours..

I drive a Honda Accord 05.

1. When I start in the morning the engine idles at 0.5RPM, as such drags and vibration are felt. But when warm it goes up to 0.8RPM.

The usual behavior I expect is to have about 1.2RPM when cold and it lowers to 0.8 when warmed up.

2. When warmed up and I shift gear to drive, the RPM drops from 0.8 to 0.5.

Kindly advice.
Is your iacv blocked..? Mechanics do that to cars.. It's in the throttle body of your car.

You said it all.I love Honda and my CR-V before sold off never gave issues too.the problem is ignorance when we drive and don't always put ears to sound changes.thank for your life. Even if you change car and don't try to listen to change in sounds from your car issues like this can still happen. Remembered 2weeks while driving my dad thundra and suddenly start hearing sound from d driver side after entering a crack on d road. When I packed and checked, found out it three tire knots that lossen. If I had not paid attention to sound the tire will just pull off on speed.
exactly ..you said it well.

Firstly I thank Almighty God for being alive today.

This post needs input of serious car experts to help me make an informed decision.

I was returning from Ikom enroute Uyo, a couple of bad roads here and there. On entering ikom town around 7pm, I heard a loud sound beneath the driver side of my car,(i was driving) and whatever happened after that is a story that will glorify God. I totally lost control of the vehicle and if I recall, I veered off the road for approximately 20 seconds before car came to a halt. Miraculously and almost impossible as it seemed, There was no incoming traffic in a very very busy road. Myself, Wify and baby are all safe.

THE ISSUE: I contacted a mechanic to ascertain the damage and he told me that the initial cause of the accident was *BALL JOINT PULLED* against contrary belief that this pull occurs only when car halts.(please guys how true is this excerpt)

secondly my wife owns a DC and as | speak i am considering putting it for sale almost immediately, will create another thread for that nonetheless.

Driving to work today, i was scared to the teeth, infact, the men in black followed me and asked for my driving license. lol. I have still not recovered from the weekend shock.

all inputs will be greatly appreciated.
Thank God for your life.. But let's me honest a bit.. It must have given you a sign you probably did not take serious... Honda Achilles heel is it's ball joints so you need to change it at least once in 6months.. And also listen for signs sometimes.. Been using Honda for 3 years and never had the joint pull issue

Na u dey weed .

How much for engine- min 300k
Spraying ( auto base, pH price) -100k
Door mat is. 60k for the 4.
Ball joint, tire rod is 20k
Engine seating is 5k each
Refolding seat is 25k.
Radiator is around 30k
Labour and others -50k.

Total is around 500k plus the 250k u are asking for =750k.

There could be electrical issues not mentioned. The ac could take more than 20k if condenser or drier is bad.

What would be the advantage of the stress and risk when u can get standard second hand EOD at car stand for 800k or a bit less.

Check the current price of a clean second hand EOD online before responding make uno fall ur hand
Bro.. Engine is not 300k....engine is 140k without some parts.. But complete engine with all parts like alternator,ps pump is roughly 170-200k max.. Ph price.. Respraying with 4 years guarantee... Autobase is 40k...max.. 45k....door Mat ain't up-to 10k for the 4.. Ph price.. If I did not already have a car.. Eod. 05.i would have taken the risk... This car will not cost me up-to 350 to get back to almost new..just speaking from what I know...

big bro I no my written re poor, do not mind me for that but the truth is nd I swear with my dead mother
D odometer has not been rolled back, if u ve any way u prove me wrong plz come to our yard on d address I posted above thank u
anyway bro...you know with the Vin number, the history of any car can be discovered right from when it was produced to when it leaves the country to any other country..well, ecxept countries that do not keep records..so if vin report shows that the last reported mileage of the car is 112k when it was exported from the US, and in nigeria, the mileage is 64k, it simply shows that the odometer was rolled back as it it not possible for the mileage to just reduce on its own.. however, you might not be aware of the odometer rollback shaa...

All the same, one can never go wrong with a Vin search...
it is well

Any engineer from oshodi or Ikeja??.
And how much will it cost to fix it...
It's a big PS 3 not the slim one
it should be a cheap fix.. Does the light turn lemon green before it goes off?? I had this experience... And I observed it's something you can even fix yourself if you have mind.. The system shuts itself off as a means of protecting the CPU.. Due to overheat... There is one thermal paste that is used on the vgu.. The thermal paste must have probably worn out making the vgu to over heat.. Therefore forcing the PS to off itself as a means of preventing damage.. Maximum cost to fix this.. 4k...though I paid 3k to fix Mine..i read the paste lasts for like 3 years or so before it wears out again... Do some research bro..
