Am having issues with my honda bullet's ignition. The car refused to start last month, I was advised by my mech to change d ignition, which I did. After a week, similar situation occurred.
My mech told me it's d booster from d ignition.
It was replaced where I bought d ignition at no cost.
After 7 days, which is today, the car refused to start. Am thinking it's the same problem. Pls gurus:
Is it my car destroying d ignition or booster, or something is wrong with d one I bought.

I am having an OBD code on my 2007 Honda accord, P0172. It has to do with- Fuel System Too Rich Bank 1.

The code came up a day after I had a mechanic clean my fuel filter because the engine was going off while on motion.

Could it be that the fuel filter was not properly fixed that is why I'm having this code?

There is no black smoke emanating from the exhaust, no smell of gasoline inside the car or in the engine oil, no drop increased fuel consumption...(symptoms of this problem).

I have not noticed any driving issues, but I want to fix it before it develops to something else.

So far, I have cleaned the MAF sensor. I also added injector cleaner to my fuel tank ( these were suggested as part of the could be solutions) .

I reset the engine light but it came on after two days.

I was also having a TPS sensor code(p2138) that was assumed fixed about the same time, so when I saw the engine light again, I thought the TPS Problem was back until I checked and saw it was a different code.

*** Could it be that the fuel filter was not properly fixed that is why I'm having this code?



Please, how do I rectify this problem?
I HATE SEEING THAT LIGHT ON!

Low fuel pressure, intake leak, dirty/bad maf leaking exhaust could trigger a system lean code.

My Honda 2002 has gear box problems, it takes forever to select gear levels. My mechanic says I must change it because fixing it wasn't possible. What should I do? And how much is gearbox for my car?

Your gearbox (4cyl) is very cheap, please get a new one.

If it's v6 it's a bit pricy

Janor:
Please I need an engine for my Honda Accord urgent any help

4cyl or v6?

What's your engine number?

I'm not siding any one.

I'm trying to settle this matter, any way there's no point taking panadol for another person's headache.

This thread is really derailing.
Let's get back to the facts.
Chucky234 sold a car to oseri.
Oseri claimed chucky did not fully disclose all the faults the car had.
Please let's stop all the name calling and adverts it's not really helping.
Oseri can you make the car available for inspection in PH, I would like a third party to have a look at the car. Chucky is the offer still open for vehicle return?
Below is a pic of the roads I passed while driving to ph on my last trip, there was a time I drove through 2ft of mud I lost my cooling fan during that trip. A lot can really go wrong while trying to deliver a vehicle.
Chucky/oseri please calm down and settle this.
Oseri please send me your number. 08023251039.

^^^^^^

You passed the wrong road.

The point is. The driver might have gone thru the same route. There are no pure roads in that part of the country.

Drgreatone:
Mum's ever reliable 94 1.8l corolla dx wit auto started aving issues abt a month ago when it suddenly started losing power even wit throttle pressed and then stall leading to repeatedly restarting the car till she got home,symptoms were attributed to bad fuel and injector or nozzle was cleaned wit carb cleaner.
Fastforward monday,got back home and found the check light had bin on for 2wks which the mechos told her to ignore as it meant nofin,bin the diy person I am,went to google and found out ow to decode the light,ended up bin code 25-Air/Fuel Ratio Lean Malfunction. Erased it wit plans to monitor it,was to travel today when the same symptoms started an hour into my journey when it started stalling again in traffic, when u floor the throttle, there wud be little or no response at times and yet when u restart it,wud start and within seconds,same cycle wud restart itself. Her mech says she needs to change the fuel pump(said the fuel filter was ok),I av my doubts so pls advice my ogas or anyfin I can check myself(I be novice buh learn fast)

It seems like a fuel pressure related issue. It might be a 21year old fuel pump you can change parts blindly or get a fuel pressure tester to check if all is well with your fuel pump.

Now while using the tester ensure the pump runs for extended periods before concluding on your results.

Hello nairalander, please how many litres of ATF needed to change gearbox of Toyota Corolla 2003/2004. I'm using the OEM Toyota type IV

Hi....guyz, with special regards to gazzuzz......u may not remember me @gazzuzz ,u helped me last year ma rch when my gearbox failed. pls am in search of original shock absorbers for dsame ride. I stay in asaba and ngbuka obosi is very close to me but what they sell their is just refurbished shocks. I need original shocks.....and hobs. Pls.

Get brand new Kyb shocks, do not bother with toks.

i have a problem with my 2005 pajero GDI. i ve been searching for a good auto mechanic all to no avail. the car begins to jerk once it reaches 100km/hr. the fuel pump has been changed, as well as the throttle cable and neck, it then developed another problem. you can contact me through my no if you can help. please only if you can help. MODS please help a brother in need. pls push to front page. 08085236231

While there are a number of vehicle manufacturers that produce GDI engines the most common that I come into contact with are the Mitsubishi models, so for that reason I will focus on them for this article.

GDI or Gasoline Direct Injection is another step in the ongoing search for a more efficient use of the petrol that your car uses. It is simply an engine where the petrol is injected directly into the cylinder as opposed to the more common petrol injected car where petrol is injected into the air flow prior to it reaching the cylinder. Characteristics of the Mitsubishi GDI are the vertical inlet manifold, the rather odd piston design (see photo)and the design of the new "swirl" fuel injectors, named so because of the vortex type of spray pattern as fuel is injected into the combustion chamber. The airflow from the manifold into the cylinder produces a swirling effect in the cylinder which tumbles in the opposite direction than other engine designs and by injecting fuel at a very late stage of compression, into the bowl on top of the piston, a richer mixture can be concentrated around the spark plug to allow for proper ignition.


Mitsubishi GDI Swirl Injectors
This means that the GDI engine can, under certain "low load" conditions operate on an air/fuel ratio of about 40:1 rather than the more common 14:1. Under heavier loads fuel is injected once during the intake cycle which cools the incoming air and then again at the late stage of compression which results in a richer air/fuel mixture for more power.

Fuel delivery is another difference for the GDI, there is a standard type electric fuel pump immersed in the fuel tank just like most other fuel injected cars, but this pump instead of delivering fuel to the injectors, delivers it to a mechanical pump on the side of the engine which then increases the pressure from 45psi to approx 750psi and that is the pressure that is delivered to the injectors.


The unusual piston crown
on a Mitsubishi GDI piston
There is also an unusually high compression ratio with GDI cars 12.5:1 is common with Mitsubishi, this means that it is vital to use a higher octane fuel to avoid pre-ignition in the combustion chamber which can cause severe damage to the engine over time.

Mitsubishi claims that their GDI engines can burn fuel 35% to 40% more efficiently than engines with the more common MPFI (Multi Point Fuel Injection) systems and at the same time get an increase in power output by about 10%.

From all the long stories iv posted it seems you have a fuel pressure problem on the mechanical pump on the side of the engine. I'm not a fan of blind diagnosis but I'll advice you scan vehicle and check fuel pressure using a fuel pressure testing device to avoid throwing unnecessary parts at the problem.

Good luck.
