My car is not working normally. D mechanic wants to check the nozzles & injectors. Are u still doing ur free scanning? Can I bring the car to ur workshop?

czarmide:
I observe just of recent that my car will move without pressing the gas pedal. Its not on cruise control. The gas pedal is responding normally when pressed ,but when my leg is off the gas pedal the vehicle will maintain slow acceleration.

I have scanned the vehicle no check engine.

Gazzuzz and others.your advice is needed

Did I claim to be a guru.
Or you see my workshop address for my signature

Readonee35L:
Some gurus here na olodo.
They can't interpret real time data.

They can only Google search Cel and ecu stored codes.
Lol...
Don't expect much response on this thread.

Them go dodge the thread like the plague.

autologic:
Spot on! that is part of pid indicating the high fuel consumption .
Also take note of the flaw air fuel ratio value

autologic:
2nd pix shows scan data at varying speed

GAZZUZZ:
whats this crap about timing chain and belt? Cars from the 1970s use timing chain, and recommended engine oil for them was 20w50

autologic:
Case 3

Car model :Honda accord 2009

Customer complaint: Exhaust is emitting black smoke with confirmed high fuel consumption


Scope of Job Resolution :Fix for the black smoke and resolution of high fuel consumption

N.B:what makes this case a peculiar one is that there is no DTC code registered on the PCM management system !

Eking:
OK I willask my mecho to check again

Will visit you one day for comprehensive scanning. You're the boss at Igando road?

I will be damned if its not a Nissan that I av owned for four years now

see as grammar wan wound me

wen I was mentioned on this thread I was asked to remove cylinder4 plug wire and drive round the block to see if there's a misfire

I replied that iv had a misfire for months and iv been driving the car that way

weeks later I was at gazzuzz's and we played around with a scanner

scan revealed misfire on cylinder 4....coincidentally

is the car in limp mode yet?

maybe tmr....and iv not fixed d misfire yet

where is the time?

maybe I will wen it goes into "limb" mode

then again,iv had cam issues...where the cam was starved of oil for almost a year

iv not changed cam and dat happened like 3years ago

one size doesn't fit all....sooner we realise the better

by the time this thread hits 1000 pages I might av angrily changed my engine cos its hard starting in the morning

bravolad:
Very sad. That's the nature of the country we live in. This is becoming a routine by police officers to level all manner of alligations on motorists in order to fleece them. This incidents of extortion by police officers on duty is one case too many especially those ones at that Iwo road junction, they specialise in these kinds of situations.

You need to work based on their dumbness. More than 70% of policemen are dumb. Same tactics that they have been using before I was born is what they still carry out


From the story above, & considering that he had only 1200, I don't think he would have been able to settle it there.

selfish Nigerians

no one willing to accept another man's view

most people kept shouting swirl valve

well did any of you bother to read on the principle of compression and engine vacuum

let's stop being parts changers

what kind of mechanic looks up the internet for solutions

that's a very dull mechanic and I will say that anywhere.

owing to the fact that similar symptoms on two different vehicles will never or might not point out the main culprit.

checking the net should be very last resort.

only check the net for rare vehicles with silly cases.. not this easy one

the main problem here is this :

most peeps don't even understand the principle of pressure or engine compression I doubt if most of you guys understand the working principle of an engine

that's why most peeps here have a pile of return jobs
u even see cars lined up in their garage for as long as a year.
just because of their shallow knowledge on diagnosis

as for those of u who recommend the mechanic work on the engine, please kindly Access YouTube and watch videos on MRO facilities, then u will know y local mechanics shouldn't open your engine

am tempted to mention so called big names here who have a very shallow knowledge on diagnosis and can't tackle complex issues .
but I won't
and no one should force me too

cause have being to their garage and studied their work ethics

iin fact let me just stop

honmusa is the best

Are you a mechanical engineer, Pls drop your number so i can call you. I think you are right

buchilino:
CAMRY 01, V6. U MEAN SCAN ON D GEAR?.

pato405:
I'm sure of what I'm saying. it's the engine. I opened the engine bonnet and saw the serpentine belts rolling and the engine ramming with full power.

buchilino:
MY GEAR MOVES, WEN I WANT IT TO MOVE FROM 2 TO 3, I MUST ACCELERATE VERY HARD B4 IT GOES TO 3 OR 4. DEN IF I SLOW DOWN A LITTLE, IT STARTS JERKING. DERS ENOUGH OIL IN IT, SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT D PROBLEM IS.
