If you recently had your exhaust worked on check the harness.

2 options available, replace with brand new roughly 30k or toks 10k (if sensor needs replacement.

3days ago I noticed dat the usual bright, beautiful display on the dash board of my car goes dim nd very dull whenever I put on the full light.it bcomes bright again once I put off the full light...everyoda thing seems fine, car starts fine without delay,full light aint dull,..what could be the cause...pls any clues??

The 2001 accord all the way to 2011 Accord's both have/had a knob for changing the
brightness of the dash lights.  Right there in the gauge cluster.  The
button that you press to cycle through the trip meters, turn it...

The flow of water in my house is erratic, most times there is electricity and no water, so I deviced this method to fix water supply to my washing machine.

Hello house, I would like to know the fair market price of a Kia Cerato (2008 Model) with mileage of just a little over 86,000km.

I want to effect comprehensive insurance on the vehicle and the insurer is asking for the value that i want to assign to it in the event of a claim. I want a very fair and objective value; got it "tear-rubber" in 2009

Thanks for your expected responses.

700k

hi guyz ive been driving my 07 camry for 4-5yrs now without any issues but i ve noticed its beginning to drink fuel though not too much, i ve not

changed anytin in the engine since i bought it.....even plugs.I only service it every 2months. what do i do....i need advice before i visit the

mechanics who will start doing guess work for me now.

................@gazzuz and others plz help me out

Clean or replace spark plugs, replace filter head in airbox. (If in 4 years you have not done these)

If you have a check engine light scan vehicle, if you don't have a personal scanner and you are in lagos and require a scan 08023251039

rosebase:
how much wil put that in place

Carb cleaner or like 5k(clean or replace) 3rd option is that it might not be connected at all.

senator2k9:
thanks abatically. Gazzuz how can I reach u? Do u sell it? And can someone clarify me about the means of draining this atf?

08023251039. Its in my signature.

rosebase:
when driving slow, most especially in traffice

idle speed valve.

rosebase:
ok thank u, what I meeant by that no2 is that my car would just go off whenever am driving it, until I start it again

When driving fast or slow? If its when in traffic or when engine is idle, then its most likely the idle speed valve, it might be stuck or still will require servicing or replacement. If on the other hand it switches off while on motion, it will require prayers. (Will require inspection) if in lagos 08023251039.

rosebase:
1) it's so hard to shifting the gear lever on my honda bulldog, sometimes I use my two hands to shift it which is abnormal.
2) my ignition do off on motion whenever I slow down, until I restart it.
3) what is the normal tire gauge for travelling lets say from lagos to ibadan?

thanks guys

1. Gear lever might need replacement (8,000)

2. Description not clear.

3. Its written on the drivers door.
But I guess its 30psi- 33psi

No parts retailer was willing to remove/sell the tps, they claimed it would render the throttle body unmarketable, so I had to buy the entire brick.

Although they had the new/china made tps but they failed to work.

Keep the old parts they might be useful in the future.

hello Gents
Glad to join this wonderful and informative thread
Have a 2001 honda accord baby boy (manual gear), lost my first engine in the hands of quake road side mechanics after many trials on the engine timing belt, well, to cut the long story short... i bought a new engine but it has not served up to three months the engine started acting funny, when i accelerate on a neutral gear (warming) the rpm metre is restricted, i mean it never passes number 3, jerks the engine sort of.
on highway, i cant accelerate more than 120 besides if you waste time in selecting gear 2 to 3, it would jerk (irritating frustrating).
one mechanic said its an in built police sensor inside the engine but i was scared to permit them work on it coz me never enjoy my new tukunbo engine.
recently, a friend introduced me to obd scan machine.
i bought and ran the scan and got the following result:

"current fault" P0335 - power train crankshaft position sensor A circuit

"current fault" P0172 - power train system too rich (Bank 1)

"current fault" P0141 - power train O2 sensor heater circuit (bank 1 sensor 2)

"pending fault" P0505 - power train idle control system

Misfire: complete
fuel system: complete
components: complete
Reserved: Not avail
Heated Catalyst: Not avail
Catalyst: incomplete
Evaporative Sys: incomplete
Secondary air sys: not avail
A/C Refrigerant: not avail
02 sensor: incomplete
02 sensor heater: complete
EGR system: incomplete

i have no clue about the result, please guru in the house help put me through.
i appreciate
thank you

Easy fix, replace crank position sensor ( located under crank pulley) replace idle speed sensor, replace 02 sensor.

If you in lagos contact me 08023251039.

The restriction is because the car is in limp mode caused by the crank position error. The other 2 errors will cause excessive fuel consumption and erratic engine idle speed.

There is nowhere in my post that I stated water got into the T.body as a whole.

I said, from what happened to my car (accord 04), after engine wash the car was entirely messed up which made me think it was transmission for sometime but it was the 'Throttle Position Sensor' that gor wetted and needed replacement.

I see, thats a tps for a cable type of throttle body, you didn't have to replace whole throttle body you could have bought just the tps, if I was your mechanic, i Would have even fixed that part.

9jacrip:
Bro, my engine was washed, car became messed up, gear reved very high before switching and even with a very tough bang.

Ran a scan and we discovered the sensor on the throttle body had been killed so the entire thing was swapped and regulated with a scanner.

"You said a sensor on the throttle body." I still maintain that the throttle body is a sealed unit (electronic throttle body), water might be able to get into the sockets but certainly not inside the throttle body. The sensor on your throttle body is called map (manifold absolute pressure) if that gets bad there would be a lot of hesitation loss of power and black smoke from the exhaust. The map can be sold differently for as low as 2k.

9jacrip:
You should not wash or have washed your engine, not at all.

From experience, the throttle body sensor must have been damaged.

Run a scan.

I doubt the throttle body is damaged. It is a sealed unit.

Left Ibadan (NNPC at General Gas) at 9:30AM, got to Ikire 9:45 (inclusive of slight traffic intrigues on the road).

Headed straight to Ife (go there at 10:11AM), passed Moro, the road used to be good, it is now very horrible. I got to Osogbo at few minutes to 11AM. Saw a Tundra type truck and a 'hummer bus' I got to Gbongan with; we got to Osogbo at the same time.

On my way back I'll ply the Gbongan route to Ife, then on my way back to Ibadan from Ife, I'll be stopping at Ikire to grab a few bottles at DeCool or Heritage then see Babe and head continue my drive to Ibadan.

The best way to measure fuel consumption is to factor in the number of km covered. E.g mayorall uses a 2.0liter accorrd which should give him a 10liter-100km. Meaning a full tank of 60liters should average 600km (highway driving). City driving will average 12l-100km.

yayoxus:
Guys I seriously need ur help. My Honda civic coupe 98 shakes which looks like its the fault of engine seat/mount because even the gear hand shakes. I changed fuel pump, fuel filter, injector sensor and even nossles but all in vain. My mechanic said I should come so they can check the inner shaft. But my mind is not at rest. Pls enlighten me of the possible cause.

You seem to love changing parts...... Is your car rough idling?

mayo47:
Please my Honda DC refuses to start when I buy fuel, I only manage to start it after continuous pumping of the throttle. What could be the problem?

The problem "could" be a lot of things.... Low fuel pressure could be a more likely culprit, but In diagnosing a fault, its best going about it methodically, not throwing parts at a problem. 08023251039 if you are in lagos.

bashexyz:
My Honda Accord 2007 DC(I4) doesnt accelerate beyond 3000RPM after i washed the engine few weeks back. And my steering vibrates when in idle and gets worse when i turn on the A.C, Changed engine seat, spark plugs and air filter still same thing. Any suggestions of a good mechanic who can fix it.

Your car is in limp mode, disconnect all sockets connecting vtec and crank sensor, clean water off and allow to dry, problem should be solved.

rainmaker12:
My car consumes too much fuel, with no check lights on the dash. It's just too obvious. I drove a v6 car and noticed the difference. Is there any trick behind this? Car in question is a l4 2000 accord.

I'm 99per sure you check engine light has been connected to your batt warning light or oil pressure light.

chemvic:
@gazzuzz ...i had my catalyst replaced. I did a scan of my car and had it pop up p0031 and p0037 . the O2 sensors are the culprit. Indeed roadside technicians can be very cranky...I need to get the O2 sensors replaced too so I can get my baby back in top form. Gazzuzz kindly give me a quote for this part.

Brand new 30k each, toks 12k each.
