Good afternoon all.

Got Code P0172 on my wife's 2005 Honda Element.

I'm thinking what could be the cause
Element 2005 doesn't use MAF sensor
Fuel pump pressure checked.
Two sensors excellent based on readings,
No exhaust leak, no misfire .

Just thinking how this can be fixed

hi nairalanders, please can anybody tell me the number of days or weeks I need to inform boss before quiting my job at his place of work

1 month

Breaking what?

xkunzo:
yes japan embassy confirm account ..even all naija documents u summit will be confirm... from experience travel experience count alot and age like 40 plus ward and married

May be yours or they had a doubt.

My visa application was submitted on a Monday 28/9/15 and Visa was out Friday 2/10/15. Note 1/10/15 was even a public Holiday. They couldn't have confirmed my 3 bank statements in less than 2 days

Unfortunately, it is the truth

Nigeria bloggers are confused.

This man is different from the man that works for Premiumtimes that was arrested recently, but would always link the two together

It is so so wrong

So how do you tell if your vehicle's catalytic converter, or "cat" as gearheads sometimes refer to it, is out of whack? And when should you count on having to replace it?

The truth is, on modern vehicles, the catalytic converter should last the life of the car or truck, given an "average" life of about 100,000 miles (160,934 kilometers). Good thing, too, because this auto part uses rare, precious and therefore expensive metals such as gold, palladium or rhodium. They act as catalysts in chemical reactions that convert air-polluting oxides of nitrogen, unburned fuel and carbon monoxide into plain old nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water.

So, when you buy Tokunbo, that's its over 100k miles as its often done in Nigeria, how will the converter perform?

Just trying to compare used with new

Hello my people long time

Dmerciful
Oga Niyi
Pranil
Everyone else.

I want to ask a question.

In one of our stations, that's 100% solar powered. We have about 2kva left as balance and a woman wants to rent a space as salon. The engineers have said we can't do above 2kva or 2000watts, which would include a low voltage AC.

She sends this

Hair dryer 1200watts
Steamer 1200 Watts
Water heater 1500watts
Hand dryer 1000 Watts
Flat iron 35watts
Curling iron 30watts
Hot comb 38 Watts

Which I'm sure we can't do.

Can you suggest equipment that can fall within the 2000 watts?

Thanks

You see. You bought shipped from Shenzu .
Those guys are infiltrating Amazon sef but it's not as bad as eBay.

Can you believe I bought an LG G2 phone then- brand new from Amazon. I was a novice and phone shipped from "Shenzu" (of course it was cheaper). Immeadiately I did an update the phone bricked! When I took it to LG Service Centre it was discovered that the logic board used in the phone was not the one meant for the version of LG G2 that I bought!

I wouldn't lie. I've been doing that for about 2 years now. My thinking is that buy new, since you don't know the mileage on the tokunbo you're buying

Shows you have not being paying attention in this class, your punishment - 2 weeks supply of chilled Orijin coupled with asun made of local she goat.

Go and sin no more.

Baba. I no mind oo. Na you dey sell engine, I for don call Roland tire or send Mike to your shop.

We thank God oo

mayor2013:
Just redo an engine decarbonisation

I forgot to add that part.

The black smoke that came out of the exhaust was as thick as burning tires

See the two converter assemblies.

The first is the blocked one, the other is the replacement, which was fixed into the car now

dreaonit:
Please does embassy confirms statement of account?

Not sure.

When I traveled to Tokyo in 2015, my visa came out within 10 days. Not sure they bothered with Zenith bank or Diamond bank back then. It takes about 2 weeks for such confirmation.

What a life transforming impartation

So today my #MCM goes to no other but my Boss, my Friend and my Mentor Dr. Olakunle Churchill. You have imparted skills in me that has changed my career and also the way I see and take life

GAZZUZZ:
Not necessary, you will be back on this matter.

By December, 2018 I refresh this post for you. If your prophesy fails, you owe me a launch at a nice restaurant in Wentworthville (NSW). They have a very nice club in that part of NSW. I enjoyed my 10 days stay last September

If others, I'll call you a master

GAZZUZZ:
That's not how to fix a modern day car.

Yes I agree on this. It is my error allowing him to have his way despite my experience in engineering and knowledge garnered on usage of cars. Poo does happen and we make mistakes to learn

GAZZUZZ:
I doubt that. but congrats.

Thanks bro.

To clear your doubt, you can bring the best Scanner in the world and pay us a visit (will send you address via PM and pay for logistics )
Sometimes, we just need to pay attention to very very little details and not pulling down a whole building in an attempt to kill a rat

mayor2013:
Yes. Take back to factory spec.
Take out that yeye fuel pump. Get a complete untampered unit . Those pump alone are Chinese crap and would also cause a misfire. Excess black smoke was a result of the pulled out 02 sensor like I did explain earlier

Thanks Mayor2013. That your single response saved the day. You said return back to 02. We did and no stories. We couold have thought it was ECM, fuel pump, spark plugs, injector throttle body etc


A quick update. Car is back to 100% efficiency and Performance.

How did we do it? It was simple and straight forward. The panel beater pulled out a sensor and blocked the sensor inlet. 5 mins after, car started misfiring. This morning, removed the catalytic converter assembly from the manifold, started the car, rev up to 3000, inserted a different catalytic converter assembly, inserted the upstream and downstream sensor, started the car, all misfiring and 02 sensor code disappered. car has driving 15 miles from Ikeja down to Ikoyi, No single is back as at yet, and it was confortably doing 120kmph this afternoon, without hesitation.

Recall.
new fuel pump from Ebay/china
new set of plugs from Ebay/china
new set of injectors from Ebay/china
new 02 sensors from Ebay/china

luvinhubby:
Hope you did not force a 2007 CRV O2 sensor into a 2011 CRV, they use same catalyst but different sensors.

Not at all. Issue beyond sensor now, but praying engine not damaged. If engine goes, I'm sure you'll be happy to have us as guests

But God forbid under Buhari. Babu changi

Piyke:
Beware of eBay. I have stopped shopping there. Chinese Kazeem part sellers full the place. Many of them will pose like they are in the US/UK only for you to click "place order" and later see "item shipped from shenzu"
I have series of experiences from self and family. On such sensitive items I only do OEM or the aftermarket guy that does the OEM e.g Denso does the oem O2 sensor for my accord but also has the aftermarket direct-fit one which is way cheaper.

So sorry to hear the overtorquing thing. This is common place in this country. You will even see some use an impact wrench (irrespective of speed/torque setting) to mount wheels. Their motto is tighten until it can move no more

Lol.

Afi shenzu

Thanks so much. Just spoke to my mechanic, the conclusion is that the engine can't breathe property, hence the very poor idling and black soot.

First tomorrow is to look for another shell, and put in back the factory exhaust, with or without the catalytic converter, for us to see the condition of the engine. If the engine idles well, then we can breathe a sigh of relief.

Lesson has been learned. Honda is different from Toyota. If sensor is bad, just leave it there, rather than trying to be wise

See below the image of the catalytic converter assembly.

The downstream sensor is to be placed in the opening directly on the converter, whilst the upstream is the one on the long pipe to be connected to the manifold.

The thread of the upstream sensor was the one damaged and the panel beater chose to seal up until we get another sensor and rethread the hole. The next was the black soot and the car was driven 14 miles after after the seal up. I just pray the engine is not damaged due to the 14 miles drive

mayor2013:
Yes it can. Black suite was caused by the pulled off 02 sensor By the way what spark plugs did you use? What type of fuel pump did you use

Thank you very much for the straight forward response.

My key question was, 'can you guys confirm if the space blocked could have been responsible'

First thing first, then I'll answer the other questions

NGK iridium platinum, with exact OEM number matching.

Fuel pump was the universal Honda/Toyota pump.

Its not the complete assembly with the fuel gauge that I changed, just the engine

GAZZUZZ:
When you go a Dr's office they ask you questions related to the ailment, most times the questions sound silly but have to be asked.

If every thing was done by the book, you will not be here.

Mayor2013 he's all yours.

You're right. But I was already tensed up. You know things can be most especially if you gave someone an advise and the things turns bad unfortunately. That's the feeling right now, a bit disappointed

GAZZUZZ:
New or used Oga? Ebay Sells used parts.

Did you use the vin of the car to match the parts?

GAZZUZZ

You should know I've been around for a while, not a rookie. Just want ideas as we normally do here.

All parts are brand new, not used.
There are sites eg Amazon and hondaparts.com that allows you to select your vehicle by specification and then check fitment. That I did and this isn't the first time I'm having to do this. Its unfortunate how this turned out

GAZZUZZ:
First sentence sounded like DIY, next I was sure it was Kamaru

how much did you buy all the individual parts.

did you buy used parts or new parts? I am waiting.

Kamoru ke?

All brand new ordered from eBay, not purchased in Nigeria.

Hello guys
Mayor2013
GAZZUZZ
luvinhubby
And others

Let's Rob mind

My aunt has a 2011 CRV Ex.

It drives fine and all parts functioning efficiently and effective.

Just as Honda says after 100k miles, do a tune up. Mileage 130k now

So we decided to do few things on Saturday
Changed spark plugs to NGK iridium
Changed fuel pump
Changed injectors
Changed the upstream and downstream sensors.

After fixing, car started fine and was sharper than it was prior.

After few minutes drive, a code showed up P1157, which points to Upstream sensor. Cleared code, but it instantly pumped up again.

I then suggested we return the old sensor, since nothing was wring, but women and over sabi.

We tried to remove sensor 1, only to find it difficult, cos the guy that fixed it forced the sensor in and the threading got damaged on the exhaust pipe. We had to use the heat to pull out the sensor, which was obviously condemned and the thread on the exhaust pipe damaged.

Since we need to buy a new sensor and possibly get another pipe that connects to the manifold, the panel beater decided to block the hole/space for the sensor fits it.

After leaving the panel beater, just few minutes drive, car started misfiring. I was called.

Did a scan and it shows P0300 to P0304 all cylinder misfires, along with the obvious oxygen sensor code.

Car is not idling at all now.

Once you start, it goes off immediately and terrible black smoke comes from the exhaust.

Can you guy confirm if the oxygen sensor issue is connected with the misfire

Thanks
