cooleo: Good morning Gazzuzz, my Honda CR-V gear oil leaks whenever I pack the vehicle over night. My mechanic said the gear housing has expired and will need to be changed. He even bragged that I can check with other mechanics if I doubt him. Is this possible? What year? And yeah there are some expired CRVs moving around  |

20pence: @ Gazzuzz, please is low idle rpm whenever AC is on normal on a 1998 Toyota Camry?
The car idles between 750 - 850 rpm when it is warm in Park (early morning start up). However, while driving with AC on and I come to a stop at a traffic light, the idle rpm drops to between 550 - 600.
Also, while monitoring the rpm, I observed that when I put on the AC with the vehicle in Park position, the rpm rises to 1000 rpm before dropping to around 700 - 750 rpm after about 15 - 30 seconds. The AC still cools. service or replace IACV intake air control valve |

Car Talk › HONDA ACCORD 03-07 Ruptured Heater Core. by GAZZUZZ(op): 8:46am On May 02, 2018 |
About a month ago one of my prodigies in Nnewi, (south East nigeria) opsudei1 informed me of a new finding he just experienced. It is the norm for us to share info over our small network of technicians spread accross the country.
His information went thus. A ruptured heater core in the honda accord 2005, causing coolant to contaminate and damage engine ecu. Now he claimed he had seen it twice in his workshop, but I was yet to see one in 4years of opening shop, so I said thank you and kept the info in my memory archives.

5days ago, a loyal client called in about issues with his honda accord 2007 I4. Problems experienced were blinking immobiliser light. I ask if he had a spare key, he said no, I told him to take out the battery terminal and leave car alone for a while. He messaged 30mins later that the car started, but engine was making funny noises and in his words, jerking violently . I reminded him about the battery terminal that should be removed. Seems my guy had parole that evening so he called in kazeem to have a look at it. Next message I got on my phone was that kazeem said the engine had hooked I still reminded him to Take out the battery terminal.
Next day I offered him a spare car to use (premium client package) , as I was unable to come to his location to look at vehicle. By tuesday he reminded me it was a public holiday and I should pls find time to come look at the vehicle.
so I armed my self with basic tools and went to location.
www.nairaland.com/attachments/7054281_img201805011203281_jpeg61e9b318ed4affe0ac6610465cbe827c
On getting to location, went through the basic checks before starting vehicle. Engine oil level/colour ok, coolant dry! www.nairaland.com/attachments/7054276_img201805011203203_jpegda2597f684548a0c7cc64681ec9f4904
So I asked client if this was normal, and he affirmed it was very strange.
Any history of overheating, he said no.
Got into car, and placed key in ignition, immobiliser light (green key notification) was blinking with ignition on, I turned the key to see if engine was frozen stiff, it rolled just fine, but didn't start.
first thought that came to mind was a leaking heater core, so I went straight for the engine ECU

It was looking discoloured with pink substance...

I took out the engine ecu and it was wet with coolant. At this point I was 100per sure the heater core had ruptured.

Opened it up and it was a horrible sight

Sadly we had to replace the engine ecu, reprogrammed the new one, but car took a very long time to start.
I bypassed the heater core line back to the engine, vehicle will do without the heater core for the time being.
After replacing faulty coils and a set of spark plugs, and car ran as good as new.
For clarification The main function of the heater core, being of course a part of a vehicle's heating system, is to provide heat to the passenger compartment. ... Engine coolant flows into the heater core and the heat contained in the coolant is transferred to the fins of the core.
