Funny how you would stay behind your keyboard and confidently confirm his car is fine when he himself confirmed it's overheating.
Wish him the best though.

"the hose that goes into the reserve radiator tank brings out steam and you can tell from the radiator hose that the engine is overheating." Is this what you are calling overheating? So you can't see the problem with this statement? You can not see confusion and ignorance in this comment? Anyways, I'm not ready for any arguments. Continue with your advice.

Hello, I want to install an android screen on my 07 accord, but I keep hearing I should say goodbye to my the sound quality once I do that.

So my question is, is this true? Does installing android screen affect sound quality? Is there anyway to installing the screen and retaining the sound quality?

PS - The speakers are the best thing I love about the car, I will rather leave the default car stereo than tamper with it if there areno way around it

I've battled this temptation for so long. Seeing those big android screens on other accords is really tempting. But what good is a big screen that plays like a loud android tablet? A sound system that doesn't produce good sound, is that one even a sound system.
Let them keep their android system let me keep my stock sound system (and my money).

The hose going into injector mouth na koko. Check am for c,racks,leaks or water drops.b4 u leave ac man place,make sure the ac is turned on for 30mins and monitor temp guage.if e pass middle.e mean say the hose don sapa

Please can you explain what you are saying here?
What is "the hose going into injector mouth"? What is injector mouth? Maybe if I understand these things, I will understand how it relates to temperature gauge.

Injectors are those things that spray fuel into the cylinder for combustion. The only hose (pipe) going into the is the fuel rail. If there's cracks or leaks, petrol will be leaking, not water.

If by injector mouth, you are referring to throttle body, the big hose going into them (intake air duct) carries only air and not water and I don't see how a crack on them affects temperature.

Please explain cos I'm confused.

ok noted

Note that a lot of the advice you will get here is nothing but poisonous garbage. It is on you to choose what to take and what to discard. Nobody owes you anything and you don't owe anyone anything. My people say that if the rat joins the lizard under the rain, if the lizard's body dries later, the rat's not will not. Some people will abuse a car for years and then sell the car when it is close to the grave. They will then come here and shout "I did it and I never complained till I sold it". Then the buyer will befriend a mechanic for life. All of us will still come and be shouting Nigeria is dead when we are the murderers.

Alaye dpnt bother doi g all that,my crv 2009 model fan was connected direct from berger,till i sold it,no overheating.pks look at.your hoses for cracks.naija is a dead country

You drove a car with a permanently on radiator fan for years and you think you are alive? Seriously, you really think you are alive?

jceesquare:
1. Check your temperature reading with your scanner to confirm if it corresponds with the guage reading.

2. Confirm your radiator cap is fine.

3. Confirm what temperature your fan kicks in. Sometimes the tip of your coolant temperature sensor might be crusty and giving false reading (especially if you're using water or cheap coolant). You might have to clean or replace for better readings.

This guy has never said a single thing that indicates overheating. He basically said his temperature is normal. Why are we giving him all this long sermon that will only end up scaring him?
1. He said his temperature gauge works fine.
2. If his cap is bad, the overheating or coolant leak will be obvious to him.
3. He basically said his fan works normally. If it doesn't, his temperature gauge will tell him.

Remi4ever if you gauge starts moving up from zero when your car is cold and stops around the middle mark and then maintains that point no matter how long you drive, with your fan kicking on and off, YOU DO NOT HAVE OVERHEATING PROBLEM.

nurey:
lets start from the easiest.

since you are using water, i suspect the hose that connects the radiator to the reservoir tank has loose clips. try and get clips and retighten on both ends, if done and the reservior is now boiling then we can say problem dey.

He never said his coolant is boiling.

nurey:
1. are you using water or coolant?

2. is there significant reduction in the liquid in the radiator?

This means leakage, not overheating.

Hello my Oyaa, be like una dey busy o..

Anyway, I cleaned the EGRV connector and that error is gone.

My issue now is overheating, after that fix mentioned above in my previous post, the hose that goes into the reserve radiator tank brings out steam and you can tell from the radiator hose that the engine is overheating.

I do not have any CEL, and my thermostat and fan works like factory default.

I'm not sure my thermostat is stuck close because the lower radiator house is also warm.

My temperature gauge is normal but I know the engine is overheating or close to it or maybe it's my mind.


Ps: I bled the cooling system 2 days ago.

Every hot radiator will bring out steam. It is called "overheating" not just heating. Water steams when hot. Normal operating temperature of most engine is around 90degrees. That is very close to boiling. This means your engine and radiator is supposed to get VERY hot, but will not boil. If your radiator and engine is not getting very hot, you have a problem. If your engine coolant is boiling, you have a problem. If you temperature indicator is within normal, I don't see any overheating here. You do not have overheating..
Your car seems normal to me.

Good day house, honda civic alternator was faulty it's over 3 months now but i went to fix it early last month. while i was driving the car to the rewire shop with his battery i didn't notice the car was running without the fan on and the temperature didnt rise on the cluster board..I got to know after i parked the car and hood was open then i noticed some water leaked at the top of the radiator like a sign of overheat, to cut it short after fixing the alternator on starting the car there i confirmed i drove the car there without the fan on so the rewire tried connecting the fan but only one fan works, its double cell radiator so he had to create a wire from the of the top of the engine to the fuse board before the 2 fan could run but it making a loud noise.....Is the connection right and what could be the reason why the fan is making noise and it runs faster than before....

In my car, the fan comes on and off as the ECU seems fit. This means that a lot of times, the fans will be off and that is perfectly normal.
You didn't mention any clear sign of overheating, so I'm pretty sure your engine didn't overheat, especially when you said the temp indicated on the dashboard didn't rise.
You had a radiator leak, but you didn't mention if you fixed it.
Lastly, stay far away from whoever did this connection for you. He is a demon of destruction. Find a good electrician that will correct that nonsense and fix the actual problem. PLEASE STOP BYPASSING ANYTHING IN YOUR CAR.

CAN SOME ONE HELP ME WITH WHAT I NEED TO DO TO RECTIFY ERROR P0948 ON MY HONDA EOD 2003

Is it a manual transmission?

ahmadmg:
I recently bought a used 07 accord and the fans were connected directly and i noticed it's idling high and it's consuming fuel, i used a scan tool to scan for codes, these are the codes

You have a lot of codes there. I see your battery failed at a point. A low voltage battery can make some systems throw codes in some cars. Start by clearing all codes and rice the car and see what comes back.

dalitigator:
My fan were connected directly. How do we fix this?

I can't really answer this question because I don't know exactly how they did what they did. Start with a trusted electrician that really understands how a car should work and let him detect where the abuse is.

Bola4boy:
good, if that's the case, if thermostat is in place, fan on direct has little or no effect ( I stand to be corrected though). Since it's only when the engine reaches the set temperature is when coolant will go through. I wanna learn o

Wrong.
Yes the fan cools mainly the radiator, but it also circulate air through the engine for more or less direct cooling.
The cooling system (including the radiator) is a pressurized system when working and the pressure is achieved with increased temperature. Constant cooling means the required pressure will be difficult to achieve.
If the radiator is very cool while the engine is very hot, imagine what will happen when the cool coolant from the radiator hits the very hot engine. Metals do not like rapid cooling (quenching).
Cool coolant on one side of the thermostat and very hot coolant on the other side means the thermostat will not work appropriately.
As the thermostat opens, cool coolant rushes into the engine, cooling it rapidly. Then the thermostat will close fast (due to the cool coolant) and the engine temperature will rise again. This cycle will keep raising and crashing the engine temperatre, confusing your ECU.
In all these, you will hardly achieve closed loop. Failure to get to closed loop means your ECU will continue dumping fuel in your engine, trying to warm up.
Lastly, your fan takes some energy to run. This energy is drawn from your alternator. Your alternator draws from the energy produced by the engine. This means that constantly running the fan is taking reasonable energy from your engine. This will stress your alternator and reduce its life span and also further increase fuel consumption.

Bola4boy:
I have a question. Does the radiator fan cools the engine directly or mainly cools the radiator coolant?

Fan cools the radiator, that is why it is mounted on the radiator and also why the both fan switch and ect2 are mounted on the radiator.

thebigkendo:
For the i4 06 accord, When ECT2 fails.. Cooling fan will be controlled via ECT 1 values.

I once had a defective ECT2.. Cooling fans did not come on even when coolant temperature was almost at the red mark.
I removed the 2p connector from the ECT 2 and fans started working normally.

This is weird cos I have the same car. But a general note about cars... Cars are built the way they should work. If for some reason they can't work as designed, they may have a failsafe, bypass, limpmode, etc. These is to avoid being stranded in the middle of nowhere, but not to be used as alternatives. And the car must surely complain. You can not use a failsafe as daily use, it will definitely have repercussions in future.
Having said this, I have this same car. ECT1 reads the temperature of the engine itself which is what you see on the instrument cluster, while ECT2 reads temperature of radiator. The radiator is what is majorly cooled by the fan, so it makes sense that ECT 2 controls the fan. I posted sometime ago about my experience with my radiator and I can CONFIRM that the fan does not come on without a connected and functional ECT 2 even when the temperature gauge on the instrument cluster is hitting the red line.
I don't know what is going on with your car but I advice you make sure your car is electrically ok.

Loneley:
Thanks.

Since it uses an electrical steering rack, I'll check if it comes with a pump

Electric steering assist has no business with pump or steering fluid. Your assist motor is probably on its way out.

oludayoJr:
Please gurus, my EOD transmission goes off when AC is on( the engine revs when I accelerate but won't move until I turn off engine and restart, but then the problem persist). But without AC, no issues at all.

Please advise on possible solution.

Electrical issues obviously.

GentryAkinyemi:
Many thanks Bola4boy.
I got another oxygen sensor and now the code has changed to P1157 (the fault code not in database ). Rewire says oxygen sensor bank 1 is fixed and error code is because engine was changed.
I used another scanner and code was the same P1157 but with description of manufacture control.

Your kazeem is wrong.

Bola4boy:
I guess it's your maf sensor( what our kazeems called airflometer) but scan the car to be sure.

I recommend every car user get a Bluetooth scanner it's a life safer and also very cheap

MAF sensor will NOT make a car to jerk and not rev past 3k rpm

dalitigator:
I have a Honda accord 06 which does not rev pass 3. It jerks each time it gets to 3. Consumes lots of fuel with black smoke from the exhaust. I have taken the car to a technician and he serviced the injectors and changed spark plugs. Still the same issue. What could be the problem?

Get a new mechanic.

jceesquare:
No allow mechanic deceive you with the claim say more volume to hold water (aka double cell) be the best.
As long as you're not tracking the car all day, or hauling heavy load, or doing anything that would stress your cooling system and there are no underlying cooling issues with the car, the factory radiator is just fine for your car.

Another silly thing Nigerians do. The "double cell" madness.

Bola4boy:
I don't have overheating issues when I haven't installed thermostat. My fan was connected automatically o. But someone advised here that it's better I have thermostat connected even when fans runs automatically. But after I connected thermostat, i experience overheating when I put in ac or when in a traffic.

I

I leave you with your problem. You are a difficult person to help.

Bola4boy:
I will check the relays or possibly get another one. I discovered Toyota written on one of the relays I'm using. I'll need to get the one for honda gangan. Thanks for your input.

Why are you talking about relays when you have not confirmed your fan is turning on automatically? Leave your Toyota relay alone and do what you are supposed to do first.
...
Return your cooling system to factory
Confirm your fan actually turns on automatically.
If not, then find out why (bad fan switch, bad ECT sensor 2, bad relays)
If the fan comes on, then test your thermostat.
If thermostat doesn't open well, replace it.
If it opens well, then your engine has internal problems, most likely blockage of some coolant passages. In this case, just prepare for a new engine.

Those vehicle gear were known to be not rugged especially if the fluid isn't change regularly or wrong fluid was used.
You can try a gear expert in oyingbo to help service and change the faulty solenoid or switch button then use DW1 and change latest every 2 years.

It will relieve the issue but you may need to change the transmission. As for the blinking D-light, you have a misfire, if you have experience overheating before, its the gasket, you need to replace it now that the cylinder and crankshaft are still good. But if no overheating issue, you need to check your coils and plugs, a scan will easily pinpoint the problematic cylinder, switch the coils around and scan if the problem moves to another cylinder then the coil or plugs is the issue, if it remains in that cylinder, you have an engine issue

Oga, the D light has nothing to do with the engine o. It is not 'check engine' light. Stop confusing people. The D light strictly is for your transmission. When it is blinking, it means there's something seriously wrong with the transmission. Please do a little research if you are not sure of something.

nurey:
No, Honda Accord 03 to 07 has external transmission filter. Including other models using the K24 engines

Please don't say what you don't know. Go and do your research.
It is professionally called a 'strainer'

kelvinmnet:
Yes, I agree with you.
However, there is a small black colored filter on the tranny.
This can also be washed and this is the filter I was referring to.

Ok. This black filter hardly changes anything when the transmission is going bad. This is because the flow of oil in it is hardly restricted and there should be a bypass for it. Meaning that even if it is completely blocked, it will hardly cause a problem (but whatever caused the blockage will definitely destroy the rest of the gearbox).
I stand to be corrected as I'm not a transmission technician.
