When will you even list at least a car for sale? It has been over 2 years you last listed. Your ogas dem didn't borrow you car to post again or what exactly is wrong?

Lest I forget, you are yet to recover from your encounter with legalwealth the last time which is the reason you came through after one of your ogas dem who is gazzuzz.

Anyways, always learn to calm down and face your business in other to be able to see at least a car to list after over 2 years.
Sell your car quietly nah, why you de call my name?

Good evening. Use a 2008 Honda Accord V6 coupe which I recently had the engine and gear changed.
Gear switches perfectly but noticed the engines idles roughly in the morning for about 4 minutes after which it starts working well once I switch it off and on again. Car has been acting like this for about a week and works well during the day with occasional loss of power. It was scanned and the code given was P3400 and P3497 and also P0443 occasionally.
The engine oil has been changed and the oil pressure sensor has also been changed but car still idles roughly every morning which the old engine never does.
I will appreciate any help from the house please...
GAZZUZZ:
VCM issues. Hope you bought an exact replica of what you removed
infolekan:
not the same replica of the engine cos I saw a socket that had nothing to go inside of it on the new engine. Is there any other way around it or what?
Replace the engine with exactly what you removed (same engine code) or learn to live with current problem as it will never go away.

Fhowe:
Oga when I say polarity the fan might be blowing in reverse or normally , and engine operating below the normal temperature is at disadvantage so in colder regions the fan is made to blow in reverse to put the engine at normal temperature it does not go out of the engine bay through the radiator.
Fhowe:
okay oooo, it is very simple logic , know the direction your fan is blowing in or out , for colder regions it should blow in and for warmer regions it should blow out . Retaining the heat in your engine bay for a warm region will make that temperature gauge go up . I have done this with my cars and I have not regretted till date

Good day everyone. I need help. I own this Nissan Infiniti qx45 2001. Used it for 8yrs now. Recently it started having problem firing smoothly . I also noticed some smoking and the oil was below level . Got to the mechanic ,did oil change ,filter change and plugs were replaced . Car went back to normal . This was 3months ago.
This morning I noticed white smoke . Though the weather was very cold, I feel the smoke was a bit more than normal . The car also has difficult starting after a long drive . it eventually starts though .
Please what could be problem. What's the cost of a new engine
Do you have oil burn? If no engine should be fine.

Check fuel pressure for delayed start.

Has nothing to do with oil level. You have an intermittent problem that cannot be wished away . But happy for you.

Has nothing to do with the parts you are using (fake or original it's just rubber)

The original will get brittle and settle much slower than the fake/substandard .

The issue you having is procedure used in installing part. The preparation of mating surfaces etc.

Change mechanics.

Please I need urgent advise on this. I just bought the Lexus and it is not up to 3 months. Due to my experience with my old Camry muscle, I am very careful not to get the new car into any overheating mess.

When I start the car early in the morning, in an idle state and turn on the AC, the radiation fan does not spin. I think it should spin immediately the AC is turned on.

If I leave the car idle for thirty minutes and the temperature is even above the half guage, the radiator fan will still not spin.

However, when I drive around, the fan picks and works normally. Spins for a while and cut...

At this point, if I put on the AC, the fan spins but never cut until the AC is turned off.

I am afraid to visit my kazeem even though he is a bit learned and uses diagnostic tools. I call him Kazeem because he advised I remove the thermostat of my old muscle and connect the fan direct which I believe it's what killed the muscle.

Kindly advise.
Let's dissect your post logically and scientifically, bearing in mind the Nigerian factor.



just bought the Lexus and it is not up to 3 months
Congratulations. What is vehicles present mileage vs mileage when it was exported ?

This answer will most likely resolve the next quote


leave the car idle for thirty minutes and the temperature is even above the half guage
Under no circumstances should vehicle temp exceed the half mark, unless there is a defect in the cooling system which I am assuming there is not, and that takes me back to the first quote about mileage.

In Nigeria 9/10 vehicles have had their mileages rolled back (BCD tins) how this is done in most cases is to take out the instrument cluster do some quick reprogramming and presto 500k miles becomes 25k. Sadly the cows that do the actual work are usually sloppy and don't return dials to the factory rest positions which I turn could result in first quote. There are several quick ways to confirm if it is a defect.

1. Crude method . Start the engine (AC off) Open the bonnet and watch the temp go up, the second the fans start working check the needle, if it is over the half mark, then the temp dial is wrongly placed.

2. Technical way. Plug a scan tool and leave it on live scan, start car with a/c off search for coolant temp in scan tool, when the needle goes above half in vehicle , compare data in scan tool, if over 100deg Celcius, then there is a problem, if it's relaxing between 90-98deg Celcius you are fine and again the temp dial is wrongly placed.


How does this all work.

The cooling system of your car has computer that monitors engine temp (among other things) the mechanical thermostat opens up at about 86degrees Celcius and allows hot coolant flow from the engine to the radiator, the fans don't kick in till about 96degrees (low speed) and stay on till the temp drops to 89degrees then the cycle repeats with the coolant in the radiator dropping to temps lower than the engine coolant temp which shuts the mechanical thermostat up waiting for engine temps to heat up an the cycle continues.
