My 2008 honda accord (v4) jacks violently when my car changes gears. It does this also when about driving after few hours of parking.

I have changed engine seats, fuel pump and it's still the same. Though, the car moves well after the jack.

I also scanned (see attached) but still dunno what to do

What could be wrong ..kindly advise


These codes are more of MaF and oxygen sensor. Not responsible for jerk but high fuel consumption.

Check your CV joint/inner cup. This maybe the culprit. Be careful when replacing it in other not to contaminate your gear. Buy a new joint if the old one is faulty

hhmmmmm. That's right. But which one will you go for personally?
Actually, I love BMWs. I have used the e36 and e46 too, but a friend was telling me about getting a Toyota due to fuel efficiency and also because the spares are easy to get. Now, I want to buy another BMW: e90 but another friend of mine is telling me to get a big daddy.

Pls go for the BMW if that is your choice.
I have not own a BMW. Get a very good 1 so you avoid repairs too often.

Hahahah the comparism is funny. Compare Toyota and Honda. The. Benz and BamW.

If you need a car, your budget of cost and maintenance will determine what you will get

I have done that already. I have this scanner which I'm using to diagnose my car. The codes use to be, oxygen sensor bank 1, but I've replaced the two catalyst and service the sensors. That problem is gone. But the code remaining and refused to go after replacing the part is:
Idle air control valve. Read my initial post.
The thermostat has been removed and the code is there too but my mechanic said removal of thermostat can not make car to consume fuel

Replace the IACV or its assembly. I think there will be improvement.

Hello guys, any idea on genuity of Masuma parts being sold in Nigeria?

I have changed my brake discs to tokunbo and then to a brand new one but I'm still getting steering judder when braking on highway speeds (100-140KMh).

I'm thinking on buying an 'oem' or at least legitimate quality as I've changed almost everything (discs, pads, calipers, tierod ends, ball joints, control arm and stabilizer bar bushings, wheel bearings, shaft, tokunbo tires, shock absorbers, even rotated tires) on my front end except the hub itself but I keep, getting the ridiculous vibrations when I dare brake.

Or is there anything I should be looking at? What's the possibility of a tokunbo and brand new brake discs being out of round?

olumzzz:

That's not true sir.
A 12-pack for the one liter costs $90+.
Divide that by 12 1st before multiplying by naira exchange rate.

Okay. so you mean a liter is 90/12*1100=approx 8,000 be fore shipping?

What I saw at Amazon is actually a pack of 6 WS for $93

Please guys I need help, my Corolla is consuming too much fuel. I've done all my possible best but no solution.

*I've replaced both catalyst
*Change plugs
But two things I noticed that are not working are:
* The thermostat have been removed and the fan runs whenever I put on the ignition.
* Idle air control switch not working.
I've changed more than 3 injector heads still the idle air control valve refuse to respond. I'm confused. Please somebody should help

Why can't you guys scan before replacing parts and wasting money?

The codes will point out the issue

Hello Experience User's and Auto experts in the house. Kindly me solve this puzzle.

I wanted to do oil change the transmission fluid in my Toyota Camry 2004 Big with 2AZ Fe engine.

I have seen 3 different prices for Auto Transmission fluid (ATF) T - IV type. As show below I have seen it on the Island selling for 12k and same oil selling for 30k and 45k on some stores.

Pls help is there any difference?

What you should know is that there is no original in Nigeria. The original one liter from Amazon cost about $90. Multiply by 4 liters and 1100 you will see that original is far from Nigeria.

Just buy from any major oil dealer and replace after 10,000-15,000km of driving

My Corolla 09

Car driving gud though Abs and brake light on, have been driving like that for months with no issue until I decided to change hub bearing and shaft which were all making noise, after changes I test run the car and all went fine until the next day,

I drove from Gbagada to Ikorodu all went smooth and on coming back to Gbagada I observe car transmission shifting at gear 3 and 4, I managed to drive it to base at Gbagada.

Called my mechanic, we scanned the car and it brings out ... Code P0751, shift Solenoid A performance/stuck off, called in a gear master and he said I have to service the valve body and possibly check all the solenoids.

After gear master servicing, installing bigger switch and change of oil to original ATF WS ... We tested the car and still doing same thing. Scanned the car again but all transmission code gone only left with ABS code C0215 and C0221.

Please I need solution to this problem of my Car

Mechanic killing gears in the name of changing shaft. Gazzuzz has said it all

That's not how to snap pix, snap the full clear pix of the engine a little bit far and then use edit to paint the side where the oil is leaking out from

Ok

Show us where the oil is gushing out from

Also valve seals may be leaking at the rear and trickling to the front area. You need to clean the engine first with petrol or diesel and then study the leakage area.

I have cleaned some part yesterday. See pics

Hello gazzuzz, I noticed little oil leaks between my car engine cylinder head and block some days ago. My mechanic said it could be head gasket failure or warp cylinder head.

Is it possible for oil to leak externally without mixing with the coolant or coolant not in engine oil?

Note; engine is 2az for camry 2006

Do you mean valve Cover?

Not valve cover. Valve cover seal is very neat with no oil mark.

Is your car misfiring as a result of the leakage of oil and if not then the source if leakage is none of the above .

No misfiring. Where could the leaks be coming from?

pls is camry(big daddy) expensive to maintain/does it cosume fuel??

The engine of the car is over 400k. Gear with 13pins is 300k, with 10pin is 100k. Engine capacity 2.4

For Honda civic, engine capacity is 1.6/1.8. Engine cost is about 150k, gear is about 80-100k.

The capacity of a car determines its fuel consumption

When I scan my check engine light which always comes up in a matter of days after clearing the previous, I am always told that it is a clucked catalystic converter.
Pls if this is the culprit, how can I deal with this and what is the cost of fixing this cuz I was told by my electrician that is very expensive to fix

are you sure your car catalyst has not been stolen?

kindly share the scan codes for us to know better
