Good evening everyone. I have a pressing issue I hope to get help with. I believe my car to be having a transmission problem. When driving, the car suddenly goes numb like it was on neutral and my foot on the throttle makes the car rev. I would have to stop and restart the car to continue until it repeats itself, within seconds, or some minutes.

Sometimes, the D light in the dashboard blinks when this happens.

The car is a Honda accord 03. Appreciate any help.
your transmission is slipping. Check your transmission oil, if it at the right guage. Also does your transmission oil smell burnt,what is the colour of the oil?

Good Morning All,

I recently got HONDA CR-V 2000

The car starts only when the gear is on neutral.
But when on park, it refuses to start.

While driving yesterday, the car refused starting again; which prompted me to take it to a Total fuel station mechanic close by.
He saw it and confirmed it was the KICK.
He brought out the KICK from the engine and was surprised, saying the engine has never been touched.
After opening d kick, he said d brushes has chopped off, which he serviced and coupled back without result..

Later another battery was used to start the car, before mine was placed back as he confirmed that the battery charger is good....

Also when the car is on motion, it trips off by itself, then you will have to return the gear to neutral and start start severally before it pick.

Also when the car was on, the Total mechanic removed the first plug, the car wanted to off which he returned. He did for d second and third plug and nothing happened, but the fourth plug did same as the first.
So he said it's only Two plugs functioning.


MY ISSUES
The car starts only when the gear is on Neutral. But when on park gear, it won't start.

The car goes off while on motion and doesn't hold fire.

Please Kindly Assist Me All.
your neutral safety switch is bad

Hello people. I drive a 2006 Honda accord 4 plug. The transmission suddenly rev high then forcefully shift from gear 1 to 2nd gear with a loud sound. When stuck in traffic it won't move until i off the engine remove the key then start the vehicle again. Once it moves to 2nd gear , every other gear select smoothly. The check engine lights stays on when the slipping occurs. Note prior to this , no check engine. The D also blinks. Have scanned the vehicle. Here is the P1734, P0780. The oil is wine in color. I serviced the transmission with original Dw1 last 2years cus i rarely drive the car.

THE STORY OF BETTY
...
Betty is my 2005 Honda Accord 4cyl.
I got her Nigerian used last year. When I got her, she was like a malnourished and physically abused woman.
-Her engine was smoking heavily and the old user deceived me by using very thick oil in addition to that evil thing called "stop smoking".
-There were crazy electrical abuse like the engine could start no matter where the gear stick is.
-The transmission was misbehaving mostly in cold mornings.
-Of course, the cat was way gone, but then some evil human decided to cut the wires of the 2 O2 sensors for reasons I still don't understand.
-Fuel economy was flushed down in the toilet.
-All steering buttons were not working, but somehow the horn was working.
-AC was working but not very powerful.
-SRS and Seatbelt light on the dashboard were on.
-Power steering was whining.
...
With all these problems, the question now is why did I keep this car?
1. The price was good
2. This car was still good, first body and all. Engine looked neat. Abs was working fine. AC was working, though not optimal. So I told myself that the worst that could happen is a new engine and trans.
3. I wanted the challenge cos I love solving car problems.
...
So, first thing I did was to change engine oil and filter with 5w30. Omo! My car became a smoke machine. I had to add the "stop smoking" to avoid the embarrassment while I thought of what to do.

I decided to try restoring the engine since it doesn't look bad from outside. When the engine was opened, the mechanic was amazed that the engine was completely in shape inside. The cylinder lining was perfect. Crank shaft, metals, pistons, all were in good shape. The top was also intact. The only thing that needed work was the rings. In two days, the engine was back together and running with 5w30 oil and no single smoke.
Then came the VTEC problem which was solved by replacing the filter screen in the VTEC solenoid.
Then came the VTC problem and that persky p0011 that dealt with me. After replacing VTC solenoid twice, the problem went away.
Then the transmission. After replacing the ATF twice without much improvement, I decided to rebuild it. Why would I throw something away without first trying to fix it? That is not me. Call me cheap, I don't care. After putting the tranny back in the car and filling with oil, first start, tranny no gree shift. Second start, car no gree enter drive. I was already sweating from my nyash. Infact, almost the whole day, tranny was severely acting up. But by some magic, after several tests, tranny started behaving. Now, 3mths later, tranny is still as smooth as butter. Victory!
Power steering pump was replaced with a tokunbo part and steering became smooth with absolutely no whine or vibration when turning.

About the electrical abuse, there was a strange wire running from the under dash fuse box all the way to the starter in the engine. I knew that wire was not put there by Honda, so I tore it out. As expected, car was no longer able to start. But I noticed the car will start occasionally after pressing the brake pedal randomly. So I looked at the brake pedal and noticed that the small plastic that presses on the brake switch was missing and a piece of paper was in place. It was pressing the switch enough to turn off the brake light but not enough to allow the car start. I removed the paper and constructed a good plastic in its place and care has started every single time since then.
- As for the cats, I had to change both O2 sensors. I didn't replace the cat. I simply bypassed it and removed the cat error code for good.
- So the steering wheel buttons. I told my electrician to bring out the steering flex reel and of course one of the two flex reel inside is completely cut. Someone diverted the horn signal through one of the intact cables. Once again, I decided to go the cheap route. I decided to solder the broken cables together. I didn't think this would work. My electrician told me I was wasting my time. But I gave him back the cable reel to install and 5mth later, all steering wheel buttons are still working.
- AC just needed gas and is still going 5mths later
-SRS and Seatbelt light was due to the driver's seatbelt buckle that was spoilt. Just changed it and all light went off.
Car is 100% functional now
FUEL CONSUMPTION:
I filled my tank up and recet my trip counter. When the fuel light came on, I had 382mils on the trip counter. Car continued till 410miles when I decided to go buy fuel (car didn't stop, meaning it still had fuel). I filled it up with 57litres (14.98gal). After calculations, I got 27mpg of pure city driving. That is veeery good for a rebuilt engine. Very few cars here can boast of this mileage.
...
So next I want to change the side mirrors to txs side mirrors with signal light and if money enter, I'll upgrade the wheels, upgrade the bumper to DC bumper, and give it a good paint job.

I'M PROUD OF BETTY. grin
my kind of person. grin

Check your Gear shift sensor or exchanger as local mechanics call it. If the drive light is blinking or not showing most time, it delays. Happen to my EOD. Only this was changed

But hope changing it won't make my car to be permanently smoking? Or have another issue after the process that can totally spoil the engine
No. Since the car only smoke on start up after sitting for a while. Blue smoke from start up which disappear after a minute or two means worn out valve seal. No just give ur car to jst anyhow mechanic ooooooo

My car is Toyota Avalon 2002 model I do service it every 3 to 4 months depending on how frequent I use it or make a journey with it. I do service my car with Total engine oil which has been the oil I have using since I bought it. Just last week i serviced it and decided to change the 6 plugs along side cause the plugs that came with it is what have been using since I bought it.

After servicing and getting home and the car left for hours it was time to go out and to my Surprise my car started smoking. Since that last week that is what i have been experiencing. Though it will later stopped after a little while when driving for some minutes but at start of the engine every where will be polluted till it works a while and once the engine is off and it cool again and I start the engine the same thing will start all over it can come so much so times
before it fade off and that can be so disgracing.

Have gone back to my mechanic and first said it will stop which did not he layer said maybe i bought a fake oil and this total oil was bought directly at total filling station. I have to tell him to loose the oil and I went to another total to get another oil with another oil filter the whole thing still remain same.

My mechanic is suggesting he will loose my car engine to fix. Am seriously scared of mechanic loosing my car engine and working on it. Please if anyone knows what could be wrong kindly help out I don't want the mechanic to damage the engine totally as am thinking it could be something else
your car valve seal is leaking oil inside the piston head . It needs replacement
