My 05 Honda Accord lags when in high gear, I mean 1 & 2, then, gives a kind of choking sign even after flooring the throttle and then, picks up again. It usually happens whenever I slow down and it's worse if I am using the A/C.
Then, the a/C doesn't really get cold when not in motion, but blow ice cold once I move/accelerate (even if I'm parked and I raise the car, the a/C will also blow chilling air.

What stops the girl from going in to pay the 500 Naira.
And you your girlfriend nu get leg to go buy her food...thats how simping and pussy worshipping starts.

You're right about the former, the girl should have paid, but for the later, let's no judge yet, they might be living together or on a visit and he stepped out for something else and she called that please, help me get food on ur way back

The loyal/faithful one.

Intelligence wetin? Forget dat story jor!

It's still intelligence now. The person who snitched to the authority is the intelligence. Intelligence in public service/security parlance isn't the literal meaning of intelligence. That's why you'll hear something like is the intelligence reliable, dependable, accurate, actionable or something like getting wrong intelligence or the intelligence isn't airtight to act on.

I have been to Osun (Home state), Ekiti, Oyo, Ondo, Lagos, Ogun, Kogi, Abuja, Taraba, Adamawa, Kano, Niger, Katsina, Kaduna, Edo.
I haven't been to any south east or South South. I only have been to Port Harcourt through boat from Lagos and I didn't enter town before turning back as it's from work. So I don't know if Rivers also count like that.
Less I forget Kwara state too as I did my postbasic nursing in Ilorin

I haven't been to Abia State, but from what I'm seeing/reading online, I think this man is the real man of his people.

This is someone that lied her way to fame and still always making headlines for the wrong reasons.
Wahala for anyone taking her serious ooo.
My instinct told me this whole cancer stuff was most likely a lie and a hoax, guess my instinct was right after all

RyanAutomotive:
Good morning sir.

Thank you for providing a detailed description of your situation. The symptoms you’re describing are classic signs of a hydraulic or control issue in the transmission, especially on older Honda Accord models like your 2005 unit. Let’s break this down professionally.

⸻

🔎 Professional Diagnostic Insight

Vehicle: Honda Accord 2005
Symptoms:
• Drive (D) does not engage in the morning initially
• Reverse (R) engages without issues
• D later engages after some time
• Transmission oil and filter already replaced

The fact that reverse works immediately but drive does not suggests the issue is not mechanical in the clutch packs themselves, but rather pressure build-up or solenoid control related.

⸻

1️⃣ Cold Start Hydraulic Pressure Issue

Automatic transmissions rely on hydraulic pressure to engage gears. On cold mornings:
• Oil is thicker, flow is slower
• Weak solenoids or partially blocked passages may fail to build sufficient pressure for 1st gear
• Reverse may engage because its circuit uses a slightly different hydraulic pathway

Even after changing the fluid, if solenoids, valve body passages, or pump pressure are marginal, D may not engage immediately.

⸻

2️⃣ Torque Converter and Shift Solenoids

The delay in D engagement can be caused by:
• Torque converter clutch solenoid not activating properly
• Shift solenoids sticking or slow to respond
• Valve body passages partially blocked with debris

These components can cause intermittent gear engagement — exactly what you are experiencing.

⸻

3️⃣ Transmission Oil Filter Consideration

Replacing the filter is correct, but:
• Old filter may leave residual debris in the valve body
• This can affect solenoid operation temporarily
• Proper valve body cleaning or inspection may be required if issues persist

⸻

⚠️ Important Observation

Since the vehicle works normally once D finally engages, this indicates the clutch packs and gear teeth themselves are likely healthy. The problem is more about:

• Hydraulic pressure build-up
• Solenoid responsiveness
• Valve body function at lower temperatures

This is why simply changing oil and filter may not fully resolve it.

⸻

📌 Recommended Next Steps

To properly fix this issue, the following steps should be taken:

1️⃣ Live Data Scan – Monitor line pressure, torque converter pressure, and solenoid activity during cold start
2️⃣ Check Valve Body Solenoids – Test for sticking or delayed response
3️⃣ Inspect Pump Pressure – Ensure hydraulic pressure is sufficient to engage first gear
4️⃣ Optional Valve Body Cleaning – If debris or sludge is detected affecting pressure
5️⃣ Confirm Fluid Type & Level – Correct Honda ATF at proper operating temperature

This structured approach avoids guesswork and unnecessary parts replacement.

⸻

🎯 Professional Take

Your transmission is functionally sound, but pressure control at cold start is marginal. Early intervention with diagnostic scanning and valve body/solenoid inspection will prevent future issues such as:

• Full D engagement failure
• Overheating
• Premature clutch pack wear

⸻

🏢 Ryan Automotive Limited Recommendation

We advise bringing your vehicle for professional transmission diagnostics, including:

• Live scan of solenoid operation and line pressure
• Valve body assessment
• Cold-start behavior analysis

Proper diagnostics will identify the root cause and prevent unnecessary replacement of the entire gearbox.

Thanks for this detailed explanation. So can you get it fixed and where's your location?

Help, my 05 Honda Accord doesn't engage in drive in the morning, but the reverse gear engage, but will just pick suddenly after while. I have changed the oil and serviced one part like dt on top of the gear and also the transmission oil filter too, yet, no changes.
It work perfectly again once that D later engage.

You still kind sending gift to his family....Great one to learn from you.... honestly

The family never did anything wrong to me and his parents had helped me accommodate a fellow officer for around 4 months when he was posted to Lagos and had no accommodation. From start till he left there, this people gave him food twice a day (breakfast and dinner) without asking for a penny in return, so they deserve more.
So their son moving mad has nothing to do with them.

The rice no reach my side ooo

You go wait till December again be dt ooo

Yes!!!
I have this guy I was friends with in secondary school. We literally do EVERYTHING together except maybe bathing. We do sleep in each other's bunks, as we were in the hostel. Our closeness even got our parents close till date. I'm from Ile Ife, he is from Lagos and our parents allow us spend alternate holidays with each other and he spent mid term holidays of SS1 to SS3 with us in Ife instead of going to Lagos.
We left school in 2010 and he got admitted into a Private university same year while I got admitted into School of Nursing the following year and by 2014, we were both done. All these time, we were still close and we talk everyday, we even create time to still go to each other's state.
Fast forward to around 2015 after his service, he got employed to a private firm in Abuja with an above the average income while me, I am struggling to enter OAU for my Degree through Direct Entry. My guy started seeing money and the detachment started, I initially thought he was busy and I was trying to be understanding, only for him to tell another mutual friend that I was bothering him with messages and he knows it's for money. Mind you, this is someone I have NEVER ask for #1, so where's the thought coming from. I didn't even take that much to heart since there wasn't really any proof of him saying such until during Easter of 2018 when this our mutual friend also called him where I was and the guy I was with asked if he heard about me, and he said he doesn't move with broke people who are beyond his level anymore and he's employed and doing well, while I'm still struggling with my life and he doesn't want anything that'll drag him back. I was just so disappointed.
Fast forward to 2022 when I posted my picture on FB in Customs Uniform (I was employed as a commissioned officer into Customs in 2021), Baba's message was the first thing that popped up in my messenger that I have forgotten him now that I have money abi and life should not be like that. That message is still unread till date.

So you now feel I belong to your class and you want to bring back the spark, Nah. Last year December, I took Rice and Frozen Turkey to his parents as Christmas gift, I saw him, greeted him casually and I drove off just after I was done with the parents. No friendship again abeg.

Scan is not enough. Why not try some blood work and urine tests (mcs especially) to rule out some other causes.

In as much as baba is also talking from a political standpoint rather than that of true patriotism/love of the country, he isn't wrong after all.

Ekiti get arable lands o! But it seems urban migration has hitten them hard. Come see old brick houses plenty! Even the capital no too get good roads. Or let's say na where I passed!

It's not where you passed only. That capital city road network is nothing to write home about. They only have a few ones, like very few. In fact, that town doesn't look like a capital city at all.

It's 45k in Idiroko, Ogun state.
