@luvinhubby

Do you deal on auto spare parts? I urgently need honda 2008 plug coil. It's a v6. One of my plug coils is bad and it's causing the car to misfire

Kindly assist with an estimate of replacement cost; fairly used or brand new.

Thank you

Car TalkRe: Help!!! Honda Accord 2009 Timing Belt Always Cutting. Any Solution? by chamber2(op): 10:28pm On Aug 19, 2015
i guess this issue is resolved, at least for now. the culprit is actually the belt ADJUSTER! i changed mechanic as suggested and he recommended the adjuster be changed. since then no issues again.

Thanks all for ur input and time. i appreciate greatly.
Car TalkRe: Help!!! Honda Accord 2009 Timing Belt Always Cutting. Any Solution? by chamber2(op): 6:31pm On Aug 14, 2015
Thanks all for your input. Car issues like this can cause lots of headache really. It still baffles me that a 2009 accord, V6, is having this kind of issue grin

Well, the mechanic said i should replace the ENGINE TOP and the incessant cutting will stop. I still think this is not an issue with the engine or the top rather that of the pulleys or bad belt as already mentioned.

I have decided to move the car to another mechanic tomorrow. My problem is getting a good and experienced mechanic, especially here in the east. What we have here are bunch of ''try your luck'' mechanic.

I still need more suggestions to aid my quest for solution. Is this really the problem with the engine top?
Car TalkRe: Help!!! Honda Accord 2009 Timing Belt Always Cutting. Any Solution? by chamber2(op): 9:35pm On Aug 13, 2015
mehn its crazy being stranded after a stressful work-day. The mechanic said i should change the engine top and it will stop. i am warry of of spending much money at the end nothing gets fixed- hence i need i better opinion before i start spending again.

the engine rings and gasket were recently changed....and there is no oil leakage. i am suspecting the engine bay is not properly alingned hence d regular belt cut. i am really baren of ideas

The truth is that non of your engine codes explains huge smoke. If all engine coils packs are bad, the car wouldnt start at all. If 2 are bad, the car will hardly start or may not be able to idle. Same with spark plugs.

Huge "blue" smoke tells these conditions:
Valve Seals/guide leak
Piston Rings worn or damaged
Worn Cylinder Walls
PCV System stuck closed

These conditions makes engine oil gets to the combustion chamber were its not supposed to and get burnt. The only solution to worn rings or cylinder walls is to install new rings that fit and are original or buy a new engine.

Black smoke is hardly huge unless for diesel engines. For petrol engines which am sure yours is, black smoke signifies a rich condition where too much fuel is delivered to the combustion chamber. Causes could be either leaky injectors or stuck fuel pressure regulator

There is also White/Gray Smoke which results from coolant leaking into combustion chamber due to one of the 3:
Cylinder head crack
Engine block crack
Burnt head Gasket

One thing to note is that the codes you presently have may be old which has been solved but codes still show since they were not cleared. The only way to be sure is by revalidating the codes by clearing them and performing a drive cycle to see which will come back.

You need a dedicated, knowledgeable and honest mechanic to diagnose properly. What we can tell you here is pure guess work or just a guide to diagnosis.

Dont forget that your mechanic has to be sure on what is wrong before you start spending on repairs. He may be wrong and you spend money with no results. If the ultimate diagnosis leads to buyng a new engine you have to get a very good bargain for this smoky one. A good bargain i suppose would be up to 1 quarter of the agreed price of replacement engine. That will serve as a discount from your engine seller. This is a worst case scenerio.
thanks bro. i really appreciate your effort and time.

i will move the car out to a more knowledgeable mechanic 2moro and see if this issue can be fixed. its really nightmare for me.

That mechanic is mad and a thief!

Absolute NO to 1, 3, 5, 6 and 8. Wait on 2, 4, 7 and 10 till main problems are solved. That leaves you with only 9 and maybe an alternator. 1 and 5 would have given their own codes. 1 is 6 in number against his quoted 8 and expensive which amount to a rip off in event you leave it behind with him.

You are not sure the MAF is bad, air leak from hose will make the MAF look bad. Serpentine belt will make much noise if very stretched and needs urgent replacement. I hope you can check for yourself from markings on the tensioner?

Concentrate on the air hose-MAF connector/wires-MAF in the order if it doesnt change and the low voltage should be checked by an electrician.


Modified: Mind you it is strange or rather less likely for all ignition coils to fail at the same time. Intake leak can cause all the codes you have except P0562 so threat that first.
I am just so unhappy seeing the mechanic play with my car.

after the few replacements and servicing, the car is still having issues. The pluges get soard,car exhuming huge smoke etc

the mechanic said i should change the engine coils as they are damage or replace the engine.

i am considering moving the car to another mechanic but i need to be sure of what needs to be fixed before making the move.

Based on the codes provided, does it really require replacement of the engine coils or outright engine replacement?

Scan! Scan!! Scan!!!

A little thing like a sensor connector pull out can cause serious problems like this. Besides how will a mechanic abitrarily call repair price without knowing or telling you what is bad? That mechanic is after your hard earned money. Get a better guy especially one who will scan the car first.
thanks bro

my challenge now is where to get the car scanned in the east. i dont knw of anywhere
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by chamber2(m): 8:58pm On Jul 13, 2015
good day gurus

i seriously need help as i am completely baren of ideas. After buying fuel from a gas station on friday the 10th of july, i discovered that my HONDA 2009 MODEL was jerking and was exhuming some whitish smoke. the acceleration became weak, engine icon on the dashboard startrd blinking continously. The check VSA sign came up also. I drove it to the office but the was behaving as if the entire engine was to breakdown.

i called my mechanic who later diagnosised that the engine is faulty and requires replacement or repair which will cost 100k or so.

i am so frustrated as this car has never given me an issue since i bought it. i knw very little about cars as this is my first.

i need help from the gurus in the house. i live in the easten part of naija and appreciate recommendations as to where to get this car fixed. Its a V6 engine. thanks all
