sicario1:
I have already scanned the car. Knock sensor is ok. No engine specific error apart from engine coolant temp p0428 or so. It rattles heavily when accelerating. Its mechanical.

Is it safe to replace crankshaft or new engine?
don't bother fixing, replace engine with a sharp toks.
Car Talk › Re: How Can I Remove A Flat Tire Stuck Or Fused To The Car? by GAZZUZZ(m): 7:54pm On May 16, 2016
odijeks:
I woke up this morning to a flat right back tire. I didn't think much of it cos I had a functional spare which I brought out and set to replace. However, after lifting the car on a jack and removing the nuts, the flat tire refused to leave the wheel. I've tried everything I know, from hitting the rim with a hammer and driving a bit on the stuck flat tire, but the tire just seems impossible to remove. Has anyone had a similar experience or have any other ideas on how to handle this situation?

You are being gentle with it, bang it from the inside, it will come out. If that fails, bolt it up but very loose and drive it a few meters (don't spoil your tyre) it will move

do you understand what I am saying? I did not say he didn't need a new tranny, I only asked a question, nobody around you in the whole of Lagos does rebuilding of Automatic trannies, especially for small cars? it is a question, here that I am, I only know people who rebuild trannies but for heavy duty applications only, ie trucks, I was planning to invest time and money into that, and acquire that knowledge, because I have some spoilt trannies lying around.

Nigerians and comprehension problem na like 5 and 6.
you too like trouble.

3. Checked transmission oil colour and have test driven vehicle, but can seem to notice problem stated, will drain and refil transmission with DW1 just to be on the safe side.www.nairaland.com/attachments/3720246_img20160516111238_jpegde1f9cdddedb729c3d434663b2bbe4aa

5.

Is caused by abs codes on scan results.

Front left and right wheel speed sensors.

Modified: this was a bit tricky, let's go over the codes again

www.nairaland.com/attachments/3719766_img20160516093833_jpegda4e98564cdb9ba99cbbbb4953f043e3

Checked resistance of the abs sensors. And they ok, checked functionality on live scan and they were giving off accurate information I cleared codes and went for a drive and the codes disappeared! But when I hit the throttle hard and the front wheel slipped I noticed the abs lights came back on sad

Now this car is an AWD but has its propeller taken out due to a noisy rear differential, in order to permanently fix the abs issues the propeller has to be returned and the rear differential replaced. The abs codes did not point to an open circuit but was confused when the front wheels slipped without the rear wheels moving. shocked
Car Talk › Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(op):
ok let's look at the scan codes a bit. Engine and transmission.

P0113 IAT sensor circuit high voltage.

This means the engine ecu does not know the temperature of the air coming into the intake side of the vehicle, in most cases the vehicle will store this code if the harness was removed when ignition was switched on or engine running. Iv not see one go bad in this model of honda so I will erase and watch to see if it comes back.

Note it will affect fuel consumption.


P1259 Vtec system Failure. This is responsible for number 10 on the list.

P1259 HONDA - VTEC System Malfunction

Repair Importance Level: 3/3
Repair Difficulty Level: 3/3 
Possible causes
- Low engine oil pressure or level
- Open or short circuit condition
- Faulty VTEC oil pressure switch
- Faulty VTEC solenoid
What does this mean?
When is the code detected?
The P1259 is set when there is a problem in the VTEC Oil Pressure Switch circuit or VTEC Solenoid Valve circuit
Possible symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P1259 Honda Description
The VTEC system activates the VTEC solenoid valve by command from the powertrain control module (PCM), and it charges/discharges the hydraulic circuit of the VTEC mechanism that is installed in the valve system to switch valve timing between Low and High. The PCM monitors oil pressure conditions in the hydraulic circuit of the VTEC mechanism according to the VTEC oil pressure switch downstream of the VTEC solenoid valve. If there is a disparity between oil pressure condition in the hydraulic circuit that is determined by the PCM command, and the oil pressure condition that is determined by the status of the VTEC oil pressure switch, the system is considered faulty and a DTC is stored.

Presently oil level is normal, and there are no leaks to cause a pressure drop to the vtech sensor, so I will assume sensor is faulty.

There it is sitting at the back of the engine.

This will cause vehicle to go into limp mode.

Vtech sensor out www.nairaland.com/attachments/3720381_img20160516123917_jpege05fcffc400903d6b7f8e55d5d637701

P1457 Evap control system leak.

This is very straight forward, just means the fuel tank is unable to hold vacuum, I'll start by checking the tank cover and other parts of the Evap line, with a live scan I can tell if problem has been fixed.

Modified: got a vtech sensor off a tokumbor engine in the market and has been installed

9. Throttle body is cable type so will service idle control speed valve.
Car Talk › Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(op): 11:22am On May 16, 2016
8. Will ignore for now, inspected oil colour and looked on the inside of the intake, and I'm sure engine is not burning oil.

It was most likely vapor

7. (wrong engine oil was used in last service 20W50, but will check sparkplugs and air filter will drain and refill with mobil 1 5W30)
Car Talk › Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(op):
taking out rear wheels to check 2.

Modified: calipers pins had clearance and we're replaced.

Car Talk › Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(op):
finally 1hr later it's all out and culprit seems to be the water pump. Roller on tensioner is fine alternator is fine too

Modified: over 2hrs later and culprit is out and confirmed.

Water pump.

Modified: new after market water pump installed along with coolant.

getting to waterpump/tensioner/alternator.

Not a lot of space in this design

Car Talk › Re: Remotely Follow Your Vehicle Repairs Online by GAZZUZZ(op): 10:52am On May 16, 2016
starting with number 6.

Noise is from one of the parts that roll on serpentine belt side. Will take out intake and my bet is water pump or alternator
