Remember if you don't have your sway bar there and you want to fix it. Warn that mechanic to lock up your steering before attempting to remove it and fix it unless he would over turn your steering and cut off your clock spring (squib sensor) which controls what ever feature you have on your steering wheel. Trust me man you wouldn't want to go through the stress of changing the clock spring if broken because not every one knows how to fix that. A bit technical

ONJ do not overlook these wise words if you value your steering wheel ribbon.

@ op was that car scanned at all. Thats one common problem with Mistibushi GDI. Another quick one here. How did he arrive at the conclusion to get another ECU? Did he perform series of test that could cause a car not to start. A whole lot needs to be checked. From spark, to fuel pump, to noozles, to crank sensor to cam sensors etc. Now as for the crank sensor you don't have it externally positioned. The crank case must be removed to access the crank sensor. But would just advice you scan the car first. Am nt sure if your car has a transponder chip but if it does. The new ecu needs to be programmed and the key needs to be realigned before your car starts

Crankcase: In an internal combustion engine of the reciprocating type, the crankcase is the housing for the crankshaft. The enclosure forms the largest cavity in the engine and is located below the cylinder(s), which in a multicylinder engine are usually integrated into one or several cylinder blocks. Crankcases have often been discrete parts, but more often they are integral with the cylinder bank(s), forming an engine block. Nevertheless, the area around the crankshaft is still usually called the crankcase. Crankcases and other basic engine structural components (e.g., cylinders, cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and integrated combinations thereof) are typically made of cast iron or cast aluminium via sand casting. Today the foundry processes are usually highly automated, with a few skilled workers to manage the casting of thousands of parts.

A crankcase often has an opening in the bottom to which an oil pan is attached with a gasketed bolted joint. Some crankcase designs fully surround the crank's main bearing journals, whereas many others form only one half, with a bearing cap forming the other. Some crankcase areas require no structural strength from the oil pan itself (in which case the oil pan is typically stamped from sheet steel), whereas other crankcase designs do (in which case the oil pan is a casting in its own right). Both the crankcase and any rigid cast oil pan often have reinforcing ribs cast into them, as well as bosses which are drilled and tapped to receive mounting screws/bolts for various other engine parts.

Besides protecting the crankshaft and connecting rods from foreign objects, the crankcase serves other functions, depending on engine type. These include keeping the motor oil contained, usually hermetically or nearly hermetically (and in the hermetic variety, allowing the oil to be pressurized); providing the rigid structure with which to join the engine to the transmission; and in some cases, even constituting part of the frame of the vehicle (such as in many farm tractors).

You should select your words carefully.

Worst case scenario is the crank shaft pulley will have to be removed to access the crank position sensor.

the nut-jobs have arrived

i have been watching you, you seem to like trouble

mayor2013:
Am sure that you were much interested in challenging that but don't you think it was better you comprehend what was written rather than jumping too fast. Let me break it down. For you as simple as "ABC" the op has a weak pump already right. He continues to use his Ac resulting to more work force on the pump. That for sure would cause the car's problem since his fuel pump pressure of the car is low. If this was the reverse of the case he is more safe using his Ac without any hassle. Pointout in my response where i said loss in power due to low fuel pressure will kill a fuel pump faster

as usual you will require a lecture.

Most fuel pumps are designed to pump an excess of 8bars, the pressure regulatory valve which could be located inside the pump case or on the injector rail reduces the amount of pressure to between 3-4bars(most regular vehicles this inclusive) it does this by providing relief and the excess is returned to the fuel tank via a return line or is done inside the case.

now IF the fuel pump is faulty or dying its pressure output reduces (less than 3-4bars) (which would make the car sluggish, misfire,.......) the amount of fuel pressure the injector requires is bellow the standard requirement, hence a loss in power which becomes more obvious when the a.c is turned on.

summary

1.There is noticeable loss in power in a vehicle that has no problems when the a/c is turned on.

2.The fuel pump will not provide more fuel because you turned the a/c on, that's the job of the (injectors/ecm)

3.The faulty fuel pump is not working any harder cause its still pumping the same low amount of pressure that it was pumping b4 the a/c was turned on.
4. The a/c is extra load on the engine performance not the fuel pump.

mayor2013:
I concur.low fuel preasure coupled with the fact that he drives with the Ac makes it kill the already weak pump.

what is the relationship between a.c killing fuel pump?

loss in power due to low fuel pressure, will not kill a dying fuel pump any faster, they are in different locations.

Gwagon: turbo charged V8 disconnect turbo. Charger, disconnect 4 coil packs

Bugatti Turbo charged W16: disconnect turbocharger, disconnect 12 coil packs.

Speed is now limited

On a more serious note, if I do not have a compatible program that can access the engine ecm to limit speed without causing damage, I'm not touching any of those vehicles.

5W is the winter rating. The lower that number, The lower the gel point of the oil. Typically, 0W is only for very icy regions. the "20" is the oils viscosity once the car reaches operating temprature, 0w-20 comes only in synthetic form, it woild be nice following manufature spec, but it would be very hard to get 0w-20, so stick with 5W-20. Higher viscosity gives you better protection, but to heavy is hard to pump and slower to get to the vital parts of your motor during start up, especially in colder weather, thats one of the reasons we frown at using 20w50 in a mordern car.

At 21,000 km you are still within waranty mileage of 100,000kms, contact kia for repairs.

Meanwhile you have obviously not opened ur bonnet to check transmission fluid since dec 2014, well not a very smart move.

Is having a speed limiter installed in one's vehicle REALLY necessary?

[color=Blue]Is there any reason you don't bathe with gasoline? After all, mechanics do get grease and oil on other parts of their bodies, when they're lying under cars and vans. Then simply rub Vaseline into their badly abused bodies, to restore moisture.[/color]

Oil drops, oil stains are differnt from using ur palms to work with oil, my palms are factory hard (from baba God) and a simple wash with soap does not work, meanwhile a drop of oil on my face or feet or arms can simply be washed with soap. Petrol works and you can call me mad but I will continue using it on my palms. Meanwhile I can't have a bath with it cause a liter of petrol is 87naira and it will burn my prick

Breathing air in china can also cause cancer siena nah petrol sure pass, you wash with petrol and rub vasiline, the moisture shall come back. all this sugar you are sharing...............

Not a very fair assessment.

mayor2013:
Vis-a- viz my earlier response. Now I believe you don't understand an iota of what have typed earlier as regards the op's Ac I told him to take it to a competent tech. I posted a diagram to show the op where he can find the map sensor of his car. What ever you had written here Mr doroboss is called "plagiarism". You better always read carefully through what is typed on before you

Trying to wriggle out on a technicality? At least you are better off than the guy who said nitt should replace his ecm . We learn every day, let's be careful what we advice people to do on cartalk. P2227 is a very common code and most times without any drivability issues. The point is if a poster has a problem with A.C if you don't have the soultion, do not add more problems to his issue, just read and pass. Or at least help by telling him weather it is a related problem or not. If he had posted an ABS code would replacing abs sensors or replacing abs pump bring the a.c back?

I'm not here to diss you guys, 1 love.


Doroboss.

Unfollows thread.

nitt:
Hello all,
I am having an AC issue wt my 4cylinder 'e.o.d' that's proving hard to solve. I had an internal leakage as the AC wasn't cooling, so I took it to an AC tech & the leak was found to be from the 'freezer' which was lodged behind the dashboard, and it was solved.
Gas refilled and the car was cooling again. Now, I'm having a new problem as the AC tends to work fine for say 10-15mins then it starts blowing air, then I'd switch it off for 2mins then on again, it normalizes then repeats again. Sometimes it re-engages on its own but most times I switch off then on again after a while.
I took it back to the tech, he checked it and diagnosed the fault to be with the AC switch on d dash where it reads AC. I told him that the light on that button stays on even after the AC trips off but he still insisted that I had to change the switch
So, I thought it right to lay it out for broader opinions.
2ndly, I'm having a P2227 error on my scanner, it reads Barometer circuit range performance.
Tried google but got no definite application to solve the issue. Some said a clogged air filter, which I did a thorough check and cleared the debris, cleared the code but it returned again.
Thanks, waiting for your kind suggestions.

Let's take it from the top, niit, decotech, mayor2013 please pay attention.

A honda accord 2005 is not a camry 1998, it has different modules that control various accessories of the car.

Niits complain was a faulty air-conditioning that trips after 10-15 mins, and the codes he provided was P2227 this refers to Barometric Pressure Circuit Range/Performance, now you ask your self what is a barometric pressure circuit? Where is it located? How does it affect the performance of the engine? How does it affect the air-conditioning?

Barometric pressure circuit aka (MAP)

FUNCTION



The barometric pressure sensor converts the barometric pressure into a voltage signal and inputs the signal to the engine-ECU.
In response to the signal, the engine-ECU corrects the fuel injection amount, etc.


Some mechanics also call it a "blacksmoke sensor" now that we know what it does how does it affect the said vehicle?
1. There might be a rise in fuel consumption
2. Black fouled spark plugs
3. Misfire
4.Jerking.

At this point ill like to ask niit if he experienced any of the following? If your answer is no (which I expect) let me continue.

Possible causes of p2227 are a clogged air box filTer, damaged O ring on the Map sensor, damaged sensor.

Now that we have settled that let's move on to how odb codes work and are derived

OBD-II codes consist of a number of parts. Here is a sample OBD2 code:

P0171

Here is a breakdown of what each digit of the code means:

First Character - System

The first character identifies the system related to the trouble code.

P = Power train
B = Body
C = Chassis
U = Undefined

The second digit identifies whether the code is a generic code (same on all OBD-II equipped vehicles), or a manufacturer specific code.

0 = Generic (this is the digit zero -- not the letter "O"
1 = Enhanced (manufacturer specific)
Third Digit - Sub-System

The third digit denotes the type of sub-system that pertains to the code

1 = Emission Management (Fuel or Air)
2 = Injector Circuit (Fuel or Air)
3 = Ignition or Misfire
4 = Emission Control
5 = Vehicle Speed & Idle Control
6 = Computer & Output Circuit
7 = Transmission
8 = Transmission
9 = SAE Reserved
0 = SAE Reserved
Fourth and Fifth Digits

These digits, along with the others, are variable, and relate to a particular problem


Now niit your vehicle is equipped with a lot of modules that can be diagnosed using the proper tool, unfortunately the person who scaned your vehicle scaned the power train (engine and transmission) if your vehicle was to be diagnosed properly you could independently scan your air-conditioning module, and possibly get an error code. On older cars e.g camry 1998 this was not achievable as such modules did not exist for scanning. Now you do not scan the engine ecm and expect to get codes for airconditioning (which is what was done) you also don't scan engine ecm and expect to get abs or srs airbag codes either, so what was the point arguing?

To conclude I wouLd advice you take your vehicle for a re-scan, be specific what you want to scan. There might be codes related to the problem you stated but from experience when you have too much gas there's a build up of heat and the compressor shuts down to cool off which is what is possibly what is happening to your vehicle.

I hope this nutjob as decotech called me has been able to educate you.


Doroboss

Nitt what you should expect is a body code which would start with the letter B e.g B1235 the P code (powertrain) is unrelated and probably a pending issue. Use a more proffesional scanning tool and avoid clowns.

mayor2013:
I see you have a simple problem reading. Mind you the op has given an info about the car (honda accord 2005). I guess that is clear enough. Where did you see me state a drive by wire. Sorry bro you need educate yourself before you come here to type off point or are u just here to show us you have been given 30mb to type anyfin na so people dey fail exam come dey blame lecturer for them problem

What is the relationship between manifold absolute presure sensor, and the airconditioning of a honda accord 2005.

And yes you wrote drive by cable(my bad), but im sure his throttle body is electronic.

Please educate me, mayor2013

I'm not a proffesional, but I know a quack when I see 1.

First man said change map and your vehicle is drive by wire without even asking you the specifications of your vehicle .

mayor2013:
Go get a competent Ac Tech. Not all this so called quack Ac techs that only come up with trial and error. As for the code. I doubt if your car's drivability would be fine. Since your car is a drive by cable most definitely you should hae the map sensor. It situated close to the throttle body. You could have a loosed connection or the barometric sensor (Map sensor) could be faulty

Second one said replace E.C.M just like that?!! This NL cartalk is filled with special people o!

DECOtech:
The P2227 code does not refer to you MAP sensor, but to a circuit inside your ECM that processes information/signals received from pressure sensors in the car, MAP sensor inclusive (note that the AC system also has pressure sensors)
What you really need to do is to replace your ECM.
But for benefit of doubt, you can go ahead to check your MAP sensor and its connections. If the code goes away, kudos! but if not, please replace your ECM.

Doroboss says nitt you have too much freon (gas) in you a/c system, which is causing your a.c to trip, have it reduced and your A.C will work fine.

Do not take any of the advice above.


Doroboss

1. Don't do anything unless you are ready to replace the transsmission.

2. Drain transmission fluid

3. Replace or wash strainer(filter) inside gearbox

4. Replace oil with dw1

5. Hope for the best.

6. If everything does not work remember number (1.)

Looks like a coffin.
