Car Talk › Re: My EOD Consume 2 Litres Fuel For 21.3km by Conner44: 1:02pm On Aug 19, 2022

Pelicanmedia:
so is 21.3km for 2 litres ok?

Let’s start from the beginning, you said your tank was empty , how did you conclude it was empty?

When a vehicle has an empty tank of fuel it won’t start and run Or if it runs empty while driving its engine will shut off due to the fuel pump not reaching any fuel in the bottom to supply to the injectors and you’d have to clear off the road or push the vehicle to a safe corner before you go and start looking for fuel to buy.

So from your initial post you claim your tank was empty and I ask HOW EXACTLY DID YOU DETERMINE IT WAS EMPTY? was it because your orange reserve fuel light came on in your dashboard OR your vehicle stopped abruptly in the middle of the road while you were driving?

If your O2 sensors are bad then change them. A normal eod goes 9kms/ltr around town and much more on highways.

In your mind, you've found the solution to Nigeria's problem.

The ease at which most of you are fooled and conned with rhetoric, nonsensical slogans, and fancy-sounding catchphrases says a whole lot about your exposure and intelligence.

For you to believe that Peter Obi and the other candidates are the solution to, and can solve Nigeria's problem is enough to show how myopic and juvenile you truly are.

Olodo.

By the time the enormity of the issues facing Nigeria hits you guys that is if you'd even notice it, you'd become disobidient after 6 months of a Peter Obi or the other 2 guys' Presidency.

The fact is that I was here and witnessed when folks brought out their hard earned money to set up the competition between drivers for who had the highest dashboard that time.

It was a fierce, memorable and interesting competition and almost the whole thread came together in unison to participate. Everybody put aside their hatred or likeness for dashboard posting just to compete for the available prizes then. All UNKNOWN Old and new members too joined in. It was bliss, a very enjoyable week I tell you.

The competition ended and the respective winners walked away with their due prizes . . . well, all except one

trying to post a pic of the engine but its not going thru. The engine filter was missing, ac filter , something called indomie was missing under my mechanic said he will fill it with something so it wont b empty still yet i cant see the difference.pl people use honda accord 2009 for uber dont kw why mine is like this

If your engine air filter was missing the effect on the engine would be that dust and dirt will be entering into your intake manifold and into your cylinders, this will eventually be making your engine oil dirtier faster and if the wrong element gets in there it can actually destroy your cylinder wall and cause your engine to lose compression/start smoking badly. Always ensure your engine air filter is intact and clean all the time.

If your ac filter isn’t installed then your air conditioning system will be sucking in dirt from in and outside of your vehicle anytime it’s in operation and this will just be dumping the whole dirt ontop your evaporator which will finally clog it or destroy it by making it develop leaks. Always use the cabin air filter and make sure it’s always clean by changing it at least once a year.

You see that thing your mechanic did concerning your ‘indomie’? It’s a disaster and a hazard. That is a good reason why your vehicle could be giving you poor fuel economy. If you didn’t install the correct type of catalyst your brainbox won’t be able to calculate the right amount of fuel your engine should be burning plus that thing your mechanic constructed and put in there (whatever it is) could have been degraded under intense heat already and is clogging your exhaust flow which will eventually blow up your engine. That is a potential fire hazard right there. In fact, it’s either you buy the correct catalyst and put it back in there OR you leave it completely empty and install something called a O2 sensor Spacer/ de-fouler on your exhaust instead.

In fact it’s a miracle that your check engine warning light is not showing on your dashboard, are you sure the mechanic didn’t use cello tape to cover it? When you put your key in the ignition and turn it from OFF - ACC - ON do you see that orange check engine light come on along with your red battery light too before you start the engine?

I think you should get a scan of your vehicle, don’t mind that the check engine light isn’t on just go and get a scan. It’s a miracle that your oxygen sensors are still functional at this point.

Try to upload a picture of both your engine and the other stuffs I requested here. It’s important so I can circle the areas I am speaking about for you to understand better.

If you’re having trouble uploading pictures from your phone camera maybe it’s because its size is too big, how to reduce it is by going to your photo gallery ,opening up the photo you want to upload, taking a screenshot of the photo and then uploading the screenshot instead of the main photo. If the main photo is 5mb a screenshot of it should be like 1-2mb and it will upload easily.

its a Nigerian used 09 accord when i got to the mechanic the indomie was missing, they had to fill it with form maybe it's a physiological thing i don't enjoy my uber business
.
1-honda accord 2009
2- its not a V6 engine
3-no warning sign on my dashboard expect that spanner sign
4- im kind of an amateur with cars so dont know how to answer this
5- i used total oil last 2week
6-im saving money to change the breakpad but does it cause high fuel consumption?
7- i am using water
8- i dont know ho2 to answer this will attach a pic
9 - i changed the plug 4 days ago cause i was told it may be a cause of my problem but still no changes

Concerning number 4, how to check if your fans are running the right way is to put your key into the ignition and turn it from OFF - ACC - ON and see if the cooling fans in front of your radiator come on. If any of them comes on then your fans are running the wrong way and it’s also possible your engine does not have its thermostat installed which will cause you to have increased fuel consumption.

Concerning number 6 it’s not about your brake pads at all. See, the simple way to check if your brake calipers is binding is to drive the vehicle for a while and then park the car then take your hands and feel each rim/wheel and see if any one of them is hotter then the rest. If all of them have the same temperature to your touch then you don’t have a binding brake caliper.

Concerning number 8 it’s easy. Just drive your vehicle for like 20mins and then park somewhere with the engine still running and take up your phone. Open the camera and then take a picture of your instrument cluster when your air conditioner is OFF and another picture of the cluster when the air conditioning is ON.

Judging from your mileage I know my own rear will last much longer.

I’ve been using this vehicle for 9 years now and I only changed the front shocks 5 years ago because I ran into a pothole when on a highway that bent the front passenger side shock absorber.

Changed the VTC actuator as well. As shown below in the picture.

Then your issue was never internal. You’d need to check the following items one by one ;

1. Your VTC Spool Valve (fig 1) - it might be spoilt and you’d need another one.

2. Your VTC Solenoid gaskets (fig 2) - they might be clogged with debris. It’s common when you’re running conventional oil and not changing it out on time. The oil accumulates dirt and it blocks the gasket making oil not flow into the spool valve as required.

3. If you tried the first two options and didn’t get a solution then you can just go ahead and change the entire VTC solenoid as a unit (fig 3) and then clean the former gasket well or buy a new one while reinstalling the replacement.

Show your mechanic these images, he will recognize it and know the area it’s mounted on your engine.

My Honda accord was P0011 and I replaced the camshaft and it is still showing P011.

That code means there’s an issue with your engines VTC actuator. It’s a gear connected to one end of your camshaft.

If you changed only the camshaft itself without touching the VTC then you’ve just wasted your time and money. I hope you kept your old camshaft because it’s possible it’s still in good condition.

As beautiful and sexy this Honda Accord is ('08 upwards), the comma wey I see on it is, if just two persons sit in the back, the car will go low and it will almost be touching the back tyres .
I don't think it is absorber stuff, cos all Honda Accord cars I see are always like that.
Why?
Much respect, boss?

Ahn- Ahn

this one na lie jor. If only two or three people sit at the back without anything heavy in the boot it shouldn’t go down low like that na lol, well except the vehicle already has bad shocks or it’s the sport trim of the accord (most sport version vehicles have their springs lowered by an inch or so from factory)

The thing is Honda and Acura engineered their vehicle suspensions from a certain year and models in such a way that instead of the rear springs to take the full weight of the occupants and load the camber would also ‘flex’ so that it can bear a fraction of the load, this also makes the vehicle more stable on high speeds while fully loaded.

I think that’s why Honda rear shocks last a lot longer than usual in Nigeria.

currently dealing with high fuel consumption

Let me see if I can assist you from here. Try to answer my questions below one by one to the best of your knowledge.

1. What year is your vehicle?

2. What engine is in it because that vehicle has 3 engine variants (a picture of it will suffice)

3. What warning lights are displayed on your dashboard after driving for a while/when the vehicle is warmed up (a picture of your instrument cluster showing the lights will suffice)

4. Are your fans running directly or off the battery whenever you turn your ignition to the ON position (is your ect sensor present and connected to the ecu properly)

5. What engine oil do you use in the engine?

6. Are you sure your brake calipers are fully functional and not binding?

7. Are you using water or coolant in your radiator

8. What is the normal RPM of the engine when warm without load (when air conditioning is off) and under load (when air conditioning is on). I ask this to know if your air intake bypass thermal valve is functioning well or not since I suspect your engine uses electrical throttle actuation. You can take pictures of both instances and post here too so it’s easier to understand.

9. Pull out the plugs from your engine and take a picture of them side by side and post it here for us to see. We can diagnose if your engine is running lean or rich from their looks and also know if you’re using the right specification of plugs for your engine type.

Try to get these information back to us here so we can try to diagnose your issues as best as we can.

Plus I hope you’re not comparing a previous vehicle’s fuel consumption to this one you’re driving now. All engines aren’t the same. Have you calculated your mpg by yourself before? If you don’t know how to do it tell me so I can explain a very easy way to do it for you.

Take it back to him. No use finding a new technician at this stage. This fault is a small one from my understanding.

Just tell him to check the sensors. He will perform the test I outlined in my former post and confirm if it’s the actual sensors or the wires that are bad or not plugged in well. It’s an electrical fault true true.

The code appeared after repairing valve cover seal. I’ve checked but I can’t seem to understand anything.

I rescanned and it came like that still.

That code is for either a damaged camshaft position sensor A or B (there are 2 sensors plugged in somewhere beside and slightly under your valve cover)

OR

The mechanic has somehow misaligned your timing chain or it’s accompanying components.

From the way most mechanics are very impatient and use ‘strong hand’ in handling vehicles I’d suspect he’s either damaged one of your camshaft positioning sensors or he didn’t plug in the wires from the harness to them well.

Check your sensors, you can unscrew them each (usually 10mm screws) and switch their positions and scan the vehicle again. If the scan shows that the fault shifted from camshaft position sensors A to B or vice versa then it means it’s just a bad sensor but if after switching you still get the exact same code then there’s something definitely wrong with your harness or engine timing.
