OROSUNBOLB:
Op thanks for the beautiful job you're doing here. My Honda civic car (2006 model) is having this funny jerk that often occurs for one or two seconds while driving it. Please kindly explain what could be responsible for it and what to do to rectify it. Thank you.

Pls Gazzuzz my car has been havin problem starting only when the engine is cold. When the engine is at normal temperature, car starts well.

My mechanics have changed many things like plugs, plug wires, and fuel point, service injector nozzles and cleaned fuel filter. The ECTS has been changed twice yet no solution.

Initially the codes were those of engine misfires, cylinder 1, 2 and random misfires. The CEL disappeared after one mechanic worked on the plug wires by using black cellotape to wrap round it. But the following morning the car would not start. Trying hard to start it by "firing" it hard brought back the CEL.

The last mech that tried to work it was the one that changed the fuel pump and the ects. After that, my car developed new symptoms of hesitation, high rev before changing gear, jerking while changin gears. I scanned again and got codes for ECTS fault, TPS and MAP sensors failure (dont have the codes offhand now). I changed the throttle body and the ects and those hesitation and gear symptoms disappeared.

This morning, the car would not start again. I had to "fire" it and hold it at 3000rpm or more till the engine warms before i drive off. The hotter the weather is, the more attempt the car makes to start.

My car is 1999 honda accord, I4, automatic gear.

Pls what could wrong with it? I'm frustrated, it has been 3 weeks since this started

Hi,
Neat thread..
My wife towed her Honda City to my office. She said when she puts it in Drive, nothing happens and the car goes off. Same for Reverse..

Is it the gearbox? Honda City - 2007
Can it be serviced? .. or do I need to replace?

I appreciate your time )

Jst joined here and glad you guys talked about this car. My Mitsubishi space wagon GDI automatic trans 1998 model starts but will not raise or accelerate, engine goes off if gear is changed to D, it's been scanned but the computer didn't detect even the car at all. Fuel pump changed, throttle body thoroughly clean. Please helppppppp

GAZZUZZ:
Post live scan results here. And in addition scan transmission.

Hope you don't have a heavy foot? Is your thermostat still in place? Are your fans direct?

Miroslavklose:
May be I didn't. So your point is?

Miroslavklose:
thanks for the response

But I don't think your read the post well.

The car passed all scan test, so its not a matter of posting result here.

I have a professional scanner that reads Airbag and power train as well. It also reads freeze frame (not all scanners can do that as this scanner cost about $900)

I also checked the two O2 sensors and they passed, neither is the car ready for emission testing.

Car is still in factory mode, no modifications altered as per factory default

Miroslavklose:
Guys, i really need your help and advice, especially from the experienced folk.

My car is 2007 Accord 2.4l American spec.

Its a 2014 California imported to Nigeria.

Just started driving it in March from previous user.

I think the fuel economy is very very poor.

Car drives very very smooth. No single issue.

No single check light.

I scanned the car myself and checked everything with the best scanners. NO SINGLE FAULT anywhere.

The car is still in factory mode and no mechanic has touched or changed any setting put therein by Manufacturer. So its not about thermostat or any thing else

I've changed air filter
I've changed factory plugs with the original G power platinum plugs cost 4000 naira to buy

I'm supposed to be getting city drive 20-22 mpg
highway 25-26mpg but with my highway/city drive, I get 15mpg which people in Nigeria can say 4 miles per litre or 6.3 km per litre.

I do 18miles per day from home to office via 3rd Mainland bridge (9 miles from home and another 9miles from Island to home). see the outcome below

This Morning yesterday 2/4/2015, I refilled the tank

The gauge was at half tank

I checked the miles and it was exactly 148 Miles

I refilled the tank back with 35 litres on the fuel dispensing
metre

Last week, It was 138miles =35litres

This week in which there was very little traffic and i drove
alot of high ways like 8 miles non stop to Church and another
8 miles non stop from church, i achieved 148miles =35litres

This is still crazy.

I need your help before i go mad completely with the car.

Please suggest way out of this mess

Thanks

Hello house I need help on my recently bought 04 accord. I noticed that the temperature gauge always rise towards the Hot ( H ) whenever am using the ac, but no overheating when the a.c is off. The coolant level in the radiator is okay but the level of coolant in the reservoir goes down. I have checked the radiator no leak and the radiator cover is okay too. What can be the issue? pls I need urgent advice

lomomike:
Kilode! Nooo na, why dem wan wound you upon this kind unfortunate incident na?


Very sound 1MZ-FE with VVT-i is 155k highest in Zuba (meaning you allowed the sellers to scam you 3K) with 3-7 days warranty.

Okay, ask the guys if you can buy half engine. But talk to your mechanic. If you were close to or within Lagos, sharply na Ladipo things and tey will fix it with their mechanic and give you warranty.

Sorry about this sad incident bro.

I sincerely thank God for my life! I thank God for my mum's life!

My mum insisted I took her to the hospital, she had a hard time yesterday having her good night sleep (as her BP has been on the high), I had to take permission off work in order to take her...

Our mission was to go to general hospital (at ikorodu, opp high court), we left home at about 11.30 am.

We were coming from ebute (I stay at alogba estate), as we passed the mobil filling station and about climbing the hill towards general hospital, I noticed a big truck coming with full speed with its back, I immediately swerved to the on coming car's lane (fortunately there was no car coming), somehow, the truck swerved in that direction and all I could hear was a loud GBOA!!!, my mum was trapped at the driver seat and was in a serious shock, I ran down (instinctively) to start waving all the cars down(so as not to hit my precious mum. It created a big traffic but alas, the police came to take the cars to one side.

Bottom line is, I am safe, and so is my mum, no injuries (except minor scratches), we thank the lord!

DesChyko:
Amen!!
I only wish the painters at Alaba Int'l Market yesterday were fortunate enough.
The metal ladder they were painting a three-storey building on fell backwards and made contact with a high tension wire. Instantly, their bodies were slashed and baked all over. You don't want to see it yourself, man. One could move his head at least and was rushed to the hospital with a keke. The other was worse off. Even the army had to clear a lane and stop a driver to take him to the hospital. You won't believe that the driver tried to escape, thereby incurring the wrath of the army who beat him to a pulp. The man was eventually taken to a hospital but frankly, no one believes he will survive.
We all have to look around us and find great reasons to thank God despite our difficulties.

Hello house ,

i drive a honda accord 2005 model v6.

sometimes while driving and i get to slow down or when going up a hill my car hesitates for a while ( small jerk ) .

What i mean is that , when i remove my leg from the gas pedal maybe on a hill or when i slow down ,and i want to accelerate again , it goes a little bit back and forward .

This only happens when am on a hill or when i slow down , every other time its fine .

Please Advice !

@ Sienna

I do appreciate your response.
The engine is knocking and overheating seriously. The oil in it was seriously diluted with petrol and there was melted metals found when the buttom oil pan was removed.
Spark plugs and two ignition coils were bad.
Oil, ignition coils, coolant, spark plugs have been replaced but it seems that damage had been done to the engine's internal component(s).
I suspect the crankshaft, metals and bearings, as the engine load at idle is close to 60% (Shown on OBD II scanner).
please advise..... should I rework or get a used engine? How can I get one and at what cost?

Regards.

My coil spring broke yestarday, but i was able to drive d car frm owerry to PH, after tying d spring wit wire. Should i change d spring only or wit shock. Again i need a good new tire of R13 size where and how much can i get one in PH?

Siena:
[color=Blue]May I ask what's wrong with your current engine? Because the Atkinson Cycle engine seldom goes bad, at least not to the point of requiring a complete replacement.

I work for a Toyota dealership, and have NEVER replaced a Hybrid engine, in whole or part.[/color]

9icetoo:
I have done some checks on yourr codes op and they point to a loose electrical terminal or corroded terminal or a short in a wire. Did the check light come back on again?
