Sometimes, we just need to pay attention to very very little details and not pulling down a whole building in an attempt to kill a rat

davodyguy:
Thanks Mayor2013. That your single response saved the day. You said return back to 02. We did and no stories. We couold have thought it was ECM, fuel pump, spark plugs, injector throttle body etc


A quick update. Car is back to 100% efficiency and Performance.

How did we do it? It was simple and straight forward. The panel beater pulled out a sensor and blocked the sensor inlet. 5 mins after, car started misfiring. This morning, removed the catalytic converter assembly from the manifold, started the car, rev up to 3000, inserted a different catalytic converter assembly, inserted the upstream and downstream sensor, started the car, all misfiring and 02 sensor code disappered. car has driving 15 miles from Ikeja down to Ikoyi, No single is back as at yet, and it was confortably doing 120kmph this afternoon, without hesitation.

Recall.
new fuel pump from Ebay/china
new set of plugs from Ebay/china
new set of injectors from Ebay/china
new 02 sensors from Ebay/china

You should know I've been around for a while, not a rookie. Just want ideas as we normally do here.

All parts are brand new, not used.
There are sites eg Amazon and hondaparts.com that allows you to select your vehicle by specification and then check fitment. That I did and this isn't the first time I'm having to do this. Its unfortunate how this turned out

davodyguy:
Kamoru ke?

All brand new ordered from eBay, not purchased in Nigeria.

davodyguy:
Hello guys
Mayor2013
GAZZUZZ
luvinhubby
And others

Let's Rob mind

My aunt has a 2011 CRV Ex.

It drives fine and all parts functioning efficiently and effective.

Just as Honda says after 100k miles, do a tune up. Mileage 130k now

So we decided to do few things on Saturday
Changed spark plugs to NGK iridium
Changed fuel pump
Changed injectors
Changed the upstream and downstream sensors.

After fixing, car started fine and was sharper than it was prior.

After few minutes drive, a code showed up P1157, which points to Upstream sensor. Cleared code, but it instantly pumped up again.

I then suggested we return the old sensor, since nothing was wring, but women and over sabi.

We tried to remove sensor 1, only to find it difficult, cos the guy that fixed it forced the sensor in and the threading got damaged on the exhaust pipe. We had to use the heat to pull out the sensor, which was obviously condemned and the thread on the exhaust pipe damaged.

Since we need to buy a new sensor and possibly get another pipe that connects to the manifold, the panel beater decided to block the hole/space for the sensor fits it.

After leaving the panel beater, just few minutes drive, car started misfiring. I was called.

Did a scan and it shows P0300 to P0304 all cylinder misfires, along with the obvious oxygen sensor code.

Car is not idling at all now.

Once you start, it goes off immediately and terrible black smoke comes from the exhaust.

Can you guy confirm if the oxygen sensor issue is connected with the misfire

Thanks

First sentence sounded like DIY, next I was sure it was Kamaru

how much did you buy all the individual parts.

did you buy used parts or new parts? I am waiting.

I seriously hate it when someone is just trying to force his opinion on others for just no particular reason. How many drivers have money to pay for deposit. A driver that has been looking for car for the past 2 months,where do you want him to get security deposit from.

I still know of a driver that collected a 2011 corolla from this same forum', no deposit, 3 months now and no issues. And So many cases like that. There are even partners that will give driver 5k, Oya take and buy anything you need to start the work. This thing is luck. As partner is praying to get good driver,so also is driver hoping to get a good and considerate partner.

Nobody said you shouldn't collect your security deposit, just stop trying to force it down other partners throat, haba! This is pure wickedness. You don't want your fellow man to work and cater for his family because he doesn't have money for deposit. That's very bad, selfish and quite disheartening.
