Hello House, what is the cause of Honda civic 2010 loosing power and almost going off when one put on the AC.

The issue started on Friday, everything was working fine till I wanted to start the car in the afternoon and it couldn't start. Eventually a mechanic did some work and said its a sensor which he changed and everything was working fine till today when the car will loose so much power once the AC is on.
How can it be remedied
Take a pic of what was replaced

Hello sir just yesterday I noticed that my 2007 honda accord don't seem to be accelerating as fast it should when I step on the gas. I'm not experienced in cars and it's my first. I need your help and guide
Remote diagnosis not possible.

Kindly visit a technician.

Gazzuzz I salute you and all other gurus in the house.
Please I am planning on buying a naija used 2008/09 honda accord v6 and I've got a few persons advising me not to buy that it's a problematic car. I understand from 2008 model accord doesn't have bow joint ( leg) problems so much but what I worry now is how reliable the engine and transmission is.

Any ideas where this noise may be coming from? Please, pay attention from the 6th through the 20th seconds of the video. The car is a Ford Focus 2009 model.

Low on power steering fluid?
Car TalkRe: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(op): 7:28pm On Apr 17, 2021
Put the car together again and now it throws just one code on the Engine ECU P2649 this code is triggered immediately vehicle is started .

Let's copy and paste again.

P2649 Possible Causes
What does this mean?
Low or overfilled engine oil (nope I just changed oil)
Incorrect engine oil type (used 5w20 mobil1)

Faulty 'A' Rocker Arm Actuator (tested the solenoid it works)
'A' Rocker Arm Actuator harness is open or shorted (harness at the bottom is fine but continuity not checked all the way to engine ecu )
'A' Rocker Arm Actuator circuit poor electrical connection (connections are now firm)


Monday we will take apart the engine harness and trace connections from the solenoid to the engine ecu.

That's as much as we were able to do today.

Meanwhile the SHW light came up caused by a communication code. (Lost communication)

Will be looking at a lot of wires on Monday.

I am wondering why no one recommended coolant in this vehicle? Was it your inability to afford it or just forgetfulness.

Car TalkRe: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(op):
I remember the first time I drove the car, I mentioned that turning the steering results in a drop in RPM instead of a rise which will compensate for the new load.

Well there lies the problem.

Power steering pressure switch not connected .

Harness is damaged .

Running Items 3, 4 and 9 simultaneously.

Found leaking intake hoses that could cause future codes and have replaced them, all filters are old and dusty and are being replaced .

Oil drained, no metal particles found.

Installing manifolds, VTEC actuators and oil pressure switch.

Update on catalytic converter.

Installing spacers was becoming a Herculean task with manifolds still attached to the engine., So we decided to bring them down.

With the catalytic converter down we noticed catalytic converter material in the sensor 1 areas of both manifolds.

Further inspections reveals a disintegration of the catalytic converter. It's a good thing we caught it this early , would have been fatal to the engine and work being done.

We will gut both banks out and keep the contents for the client when he comes to pick up.

The O2 sensors have been literarily glued to the manifolds and would not unscrew without a little persuasion.

Setting out a repair plan.

Some invasive jobs on the list will render vehicle temporarily disabled until work is completed, those jobs will be shifted to last so we can get more work done with a functionally running engine in case drive tests are required .


We will work in this order.

Items 7, 4, 1, 2, 5, 3, 6 then finally 8.

Let's start.

Taking out the VTEC actuator and solenoid has disrupted the repair plan set out.

I will be draining the Engine engine oil to inspect for metal shredding or particles, then replacing all seals relating to the VTEC system. Will also replace the pressure switch and actuator (even though I am sure they are working fine) I'll rather just work with new (Toks) parts free from previous abuse. Will try and get new harnesses for the parts .

Let's quickly Rush this item 1 and 2.

P0430 catalytic converter below threshold bank2

I am certain it will also throw a P0420 on bank one after I replace the defective O2 sensor, so instead of having the client come back with a check engine light after 20-30miles of driving , I'll just save him the trouble and install spacers on both banks.

While I'm waiting for parts to arrive for repair number 4.


Let's skip to 5.

SRS Airbag system .


Just 2 codes.(check images)

As a Google mechanic I did a little check before diving in https://www.mdxers.org/threads/airbag-code-71-11.173672/

The sample above had the resources and time, I'm on a clock to deliver , so I will be forced to rebuild the harness, specifically the seat position harness.
Found the problem, airbag work completed.

Let's see what else we can do before parts arrive

We will work in this order.

Items 7, 4, 1, 2, 5, 3, 6 then finally 8.

Let's start.

TPMS

A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is an electronic system designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires on various types of vehicles.[1] A TPMS reports real-time tire-pressure information to the driver of the vehicle, either via a gauge, a pictogram display, or a simple low-pressure warning light. (Copy and paste kill your self )

Scan reports show no communication on one wheel, and low air pressure another.

This is a 4wheel TPMS system (spare tyre not monitored)

Checking vehicle found front right tyre with a missing TPMS sensor . Sensor replaced and reprogrammed .

Rear right Tyre indicating low air pressure ok computer . Tyre pressure inflated to 35psi, but TPMS still giving out ~18psi information on scan tool. TPMS under reporting air pressure rear right.

Removed and replaced and reprogrammed .

TPMS work completed .

Please, house, I have a lexus 300, the hand brake is up ( it goes three stages as you press down the hand brake and also three stages when you pull it up).
Now, it is up and I noticed that my car is hesitating when accelerating. Which position should the hand brake be, whether up or should be pressed down?

I opened this thread in 2015, basically to keep clients informed on repairs and procedures used on vehicles in our custody.

Stopped updating it for a while now, because of the volume of work and basically got lazy cheesy

Any way we have a special vehicle in the house and we would like to documents it's repairs, it will be fun and educational.

Thread is not for requests, iv got other threads for that so kindly find them, feel free to ask questions related to the posts or topics.

As usual, I will not tolerate derailing or insults, if you have nothing to say, just read and pass, derailers WILL receive a very long ban.

Enjoy as you read and watch.

Good day all. I notice my Corolla S 06 jerk when I engage the gear. First mechanic said it’s engine seat while the second one said the same thing. So I decide to scan the car and below is the outcome of the scan. Please who can help in interpretation please.

These codes can be caused by 2 possibilities .

1. Wrong engine ecu installed

2. Wrong transmission installed.

It will not make your transmission function differently . It just happens that pressure solenoids were installed in the 2004-2008 and were not available in 2002/3. Code can be fixed by attaching load across the solenoid connector cheesy

Back to your matter how many mechanics do you have on one corolla? If 2 say same thing you should agree nah cheesy
