Oga Gazzuzz, please I need some help.

My 2002 accord v6 has a small but big issue. I can hardly use the Ac. It works very well, but each time you get into traffic, the rpm goes so low and car acts like it's going to go off.

Without the Ac on,it has no rpm issues. What do u think? At idle, d rpm is abt 0.8, my kazeem is talking about manually resetting the rpm. What do u think sir?
Ignore his advice, arm your self with information, then you can lecture him on what to do.

First the issue is your IACV idle air control valve

It must have built up some dirt.

Just watch this video and see how to service it.

* Airbags: Front seats were not connected to the grid wink connected them and airbag lights went off (our future is insured)

* TPMS: I was shocked it was even working with the state of the car, just a couple of tyres low on air, pumped to 30psi and light went away shocked

* ABS: Front right wheel speed sensor, replaced and ABS went away. (was hoping he will take his brother VSA and that ugly triangle with him smiley but the car has its own kabal ganging up against me angry

* VSA: steering angle sensor angry will order for part after inspecting this one.

So presently only 1 bagger is flashing on the dashboard VSA and his cousin the triangle sad

Engine oil was at the full mark and as clear as ororo. I will use this engine oil for 2000miles before changing tongue

Ok time to start vehicle grin.....

Engine and transmission will be taken down.

It is easier to remove both at same time, less clumsy, and since engine is frozen stiff, there's no way of turning the torque converter to get to all the bolts fastening the transmission together with the engine

First a coolant drain (safely into containers for re-use)

Engine oil drain (really dark)


Bonnet out
