Amypriti:
Do you add the sea foam trans tune together with the transmission fluid

Yes

Amypriti:
Good morning

Pls need assistance with my Acura mdx 2008

Anytime I start the car to drive and accelerate... It doesn't pick up quickly. It becomes slow no matter how hard I press down. Then after few seconds it picks up with force.
My technician told me it's fuel pump which has been changed but the issue still persists

Pls need assistance on WHT the cause would be and how to get it rectified

Thank you!

Sounds like a transmission problem. Some dirty valves or sticky valves or low transmission fluid. You can try changing your transmission oil if the level is normal. Last last I've had similar problem and solved it with a can of sea foam trans tune

Gurus in the house I greet o.
I got the codes below on my 09 Camry, I perceive fuel from the exhaust after first start and also a humming sound anytime I match the throttle after slowing down, I need help please

Code should be 5, p043E is missing. Mine happened when I overfilled my fuel tank. Unfortunately problem might be costly to fix. Start from your fuel cap and make sure it's tight. But usually problem is the charcoal canister. I erased the codes and it still came back after some miles of driving.

dejidotun2000:
Is the inverter connected to a solar pv array and to NEPA ?
If yes, for the AC lines, you will need a Type 1 surge protective device at your NEPA distribution board where the cables from your poles are terminated and a type 2 SPD very close to the inverter AC terminals.

For the solar PV input cable, you will also need a Type 1 SPD upstream and a type 2 SPD close to the solar input of your inverter and the earth terminals of all the SPDs must be connected to a ground electrode with no lower than 10 ohms resistance.

A lot of what I said will likely not make sense to you because lightning protection isn't really a DIY thing

Do we use type 1 spd here in Nigeria?

hapi:
Thanks for your response, this issue is really dealing with me seriously, please who know any competent mechanic in Abuja who could assist in resolving this problem please.

Drive the same car and had same issue once. Problem was the exhaust hanger beneath the car. Mine broke and the exhaust was rattling when touching the metal underside. I don't have any codes though

Two tracking numbers is common with items delivered via NIPOST.

It was delivered by speedaf and has 2 international tracking number from Singapore Post and aliexpress standard shipping (speedaf)

nothingzpoil:
Hello everyone.
Please, the items I ordered arrived earlier than expected (was quiet impressed).

Problem; one of the items is not working properly.
I contacted seller but he's not responding
Sent videos and pictures of the malfunctioning state of the item .

Though, I have made a negative review of the item already out of anger, I feel cheated.

Please, I am considering opening a dispute.

Now, which will I select, "Refund and return or Refund only"?

Thanks.

Refund only

When no video of him opening the package. His friend is a suspect

It's became clear that AliExpress seller tried to play a fast one as the package has 2 tracking number with the second tracking information sticker beneath mine, or there was a mistake and the product switched places with the original owner of said prayer bracelet. I don't see how my junior colleague will have a prayer bead/bracelet ready for the exchange as I discovered the prayer bead is a "japa mala" meant for Hindus/Buddhists. So I believe that since the first tracking number showed said item delivered to Singapore by July 20th, my shipping information sticker was slapped on it redirecting it to Nigeria. I've contacted the seller and they are yet to respond. I mean for the package to have 2 different shipping information is enough suspicion. And aliexpress should stop this automatic confirmation of "R" speedaf deliveries.

[color=#0000ff]open your dispute. Provide evidence. [/color]

Thanks

chiboyne:
Chat the seller, show them what was delivered

Thanks I'll do that

chiboyne:
Open dispute

Thanks in beginning to suspect the seller because the package sticker was slapped on another package with tracking number LB304840825SG and bracelets was written under item description @39.85 and tracking shows it was delivered to Singapore on Jul 20 2022. Maybe that was were my sticker was slapped on it and it was then directed to Nigeria. I thought the beads looked like Muslim prayer beads but I could be wrong in that assumption.

jboixxx:
[color=#0000ff]Your case get as it be o. Why sent someone when you'd be avail today? Ask your colleague if it was delivered compromised or he did. [/color]

It was delivered compromised. He's a junior doctor in the teaching hospital I work at. My only problem was why he took delivery of said item in it's compromised state.

Please, @ all how do I go about this. My item was delivered from AliExpress yesterday to Anambra State by speedaf delivery man and I wasn't around to pick up said item, so I sent a colleague to do so on my behalf. Only for me to to collect said item today and found that the item was opened and a "prayer bead" was placed inside instead of the item I bought. Item already shows delivered on aliexpress. I called the delivery man and he claims item wasn't opened when delivered. I'm confused and angry and wonder why someone will do such when the item won't be of any value to them as I'm sure the thief doesn't even know what the item does.
Pic 1: expected item
Pic 2: what was delivered with package open

Op your "English" get same character as portable

Burchester:
after replacing my inner cup shaft. VSA and ABS light came on, ever than. Any suggestions

Must have disconnected your abs wire

I'm noticing most lifepo4 batteries on aliexpress is free shipping and highly affordable if you can get the dollars at bank rate. With $450 you can get 8 cell 3.2v 280 to 310ah shipped. I mean can it all be a scam?

Unadulterated shamelessness

olopan:
This is quite spot on & a very direct answer

The site for some reason had other things connected to non isolated loads destroyed by unknown surge or spike but inverter supplied loads plus inverter were not damaged ... These happened twice within two weeks period

The aim of picture is to draw our attention to importance of SPD and most importantly the right types of SPD

Noticed it is rated @ 275Vac - Uc i.e. inline with RMS and close to Un of 230Vac of our local supply

But both were green from the pic

olopan:
Can anyone check and see what's wrong in this installation picture?

Pic wiring is not clear. The wiring should be from main circuit breaker which I think is 63a (which is DC and so wrong) to the AC spd and from the spd to other AC breakers

Collione:
Well anyone in the house can correct me if I am wrong but I'd suspect your fuel pump first because it's rare for all cylinders to misfire at the same time. Try clearing your check engine light then drive around..if the code reappears then scan again just to be double sure

You are right.

sharks776:
Hello everyone and professionals in this thread. Am having a problem with my setup and need help

My equipment
CC - Fangpusun 60a
Inverter - Felicity ivps3524 combined with charger
Battery - 2 wakatek 5kw lithium in parallel

Problem:
Both cc and inverter are set to charge at
Abs 28.8v
Flt 28.8v

However, during the day whenever the cc reads 28.8v, the bms of the battery will read 26.7v at most. This shows a difference of 1.1v in charging.

During the night, when the inverter is charging via grid and reads 28.8v the bms of the battery will be 27.3 or 4 max
I am thinking of going with the bms reading and adding at least 1v to the cc and inverter charger setting. I also came across this on YouTube

https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxoY4QXwrIJw9Va7P_grNiSQdZuhwT66at

Help me pls, I really don't want to fry this new expensive batteries

What does the inverter say the voltage is during those periods?
Get a trustworthy multimeter. It will solve most of these problems.
I also own a felicity 100a SCC and I know the voltage reading is not accurate and is usually higher than stated, but luckily I have a bmv battery monitor and multimeter to counter the error

ajabani4allah:
I saw this lifePo4 battery on AliExpress, the 4 pieces goes for just $222 with free shipping fee. There are about 10 reviews on it and are all positive thought none is from Nigeria. Pls advice me on this. Can i place this order, it looks too cheap for the price

I doubt this. If too good to be true, then... At least with escrow you are sure of refund, but problem will arise if seller ships lower capacity battery and ask you to ship them back for your refund

Dollarsea:
Nawa o.. so in the Nigeria you dated and married your wife without knowing her brother all along? Same BIL and his wife (ur ex) didn't attend your wedding too?

I didn't say its Nollywood sha

It's is. Just not fit for Netflix or theater run

ceaser:

No sir. Solar is addictive. So I generate more than enough for my basic needs and also feel I can use the excess to get myself some luxury.

Also installations of those things are DIY (Automatic gate, Sliding doors, fountain etc). So they didn't cost me so much. I drew out the plans and contracted out the construction (which I also personally supervised to my own specifications), then the installations too were supervised myself.

For instance when the gate was done 4 years ago, the prospective installer charged me 500k excluding hotel/accommodation fees. This is aside from the machine which I purchased for 120k and the gate (250k). Ńa so I kúkú watch you tube videos, got an affordable Bricklayer to do the cement jobs and I closely supervised the dude every little details and every step of the way. The guy charged me their usual daily workmanship of 6k per day for 4 days. So I saved more than 500k

I hope to get away with that too with the elevator.

Any pics?

Daily occurance with no solution in sight. A real pity

ManAdii:
24v system

16mm2 should be fine

ManAdii:
Please what size o wire can I use to connect 2 100ah battery to my 1.6kva inverter?

Experts in the house please help out.

You should state if its a 12v or 24v system. I think you won't go wrong with 16mm2

shonawalker:
Hello guys,
I have a Honda Civic 2008. for over a year now I sometimes tend to hear a rattle noise coming from the engine side while accelerating specifically at low rpm towards 2000rpm when about shifting into second gear. There's no engine stall or power loss. I use fully synthetic oil 5w20 oil only. No CEL, several mechanic have checked and said the engine is fine nothing is wrong, I'm just confused. This does not happen in neutral or park but only while driving and when it engine is warmed up, especially when the thermostat is fully open at 98 degrees celsius and the fans come on, I use my scanner to monitor this vital. I have replaced the thermostat, changed coolant, flush radiator etc (I use Honda 50/50 type 2 coolant).


Since this only happens when driving, its difficult to pin point the exact location of the problem.
One time i tried draining all the fuel in the system and refilling with fuel from a different filling station. I noticed i wasn't hearing the noise anymore for a while until one day. I have tried octane booster, injector cleaners even cleaned it the injectors and the entire fuel system.

One mech said it might be a tiny leak from to top gasket, that it might be internal heat, since this only happens when its fully warmed up. I'm just confused. There is no coolant leak or anything, no smoking, engine is still quiet and sound.

P.S The rattle noise sounds like a car that's overheating and the gas pedal is pressed, but this car is not over heating(temp gauge never gets to the middle). I noticed using AC helps to reduce the chances of the rattle since the temperature hardly exceed 78 degrees celsius when the AC is on.

If I'm to describe the sound thoroughly I would say it sounds this way "ggrrrrr". Just for a short period of time ,1 -2 seconds and only happens when I step on the gas pedal at low rpm


Please I need help and suggestions, any one experienced something similar ? Thanks and sorry for the long write up.

Are you sure it's not the belt tensioner?

Jefferyzz:
Thanks man
1. My inverter manual states 14awg cable since all panels must b in series.. i used 8awg just Incase I av any reason to go parallel
2.i did. Each had above their normal volt but not up to d stated amps. I guess it's due to the sun's intensity.
3. I checked the mc4 twice just to b sure the metal inside are out enough to make firm contact
4. I don't no of this orientation thing. But I nailed my panels where dey focus on the sun. The other side of the roof cant receive enough sunshine as it not facing the sun directly unlike the side I placed d panels
5. It's a 400w panel n I know it won't produce less than 380w. I attached d picture of the panel
6. No damages.
7. I reduced it to 40a already. Still won't go above 30a wen it working at full power. N it only for few minutes sef. It goes down to 12a afterwards.

Producing 380w from 400w even with tier 1 panels depends on a lot of things and is asking for too much. Meanwhile your panels from the specs are not even 400w. Why do our people keep doing this fraud? If you multiply the vmp and imp, it gives you the panel watts eg below. Infact I'm beginning to doubt your panels specs is even up to 330w maybe that's your problem all along and your panels are not hitting the voltage required for charging all the time

If the guy didn't connect to internet,he could have wiped the ROM and install custom ROM,he for dry flex am now.

Custom rom? For unreleased phone

NiyiOmoIyunade:
Not in any way.

That test is much more like an electrical isolation integrity or wire polarity test - the integrity or sufficiency of the actual earth installation was not tested at all.

The results he got could be reproduced with a floating earth wire or a very very poor earth installation.

The proper way to test an earth install is use a dedicated meter to perform a resistance test of the earth electrode(s) - I like to test backwards from the main earth wire of the facility - the (typically) 16mm2 wire that goes from the buried rods into the DB or earth bus bar.

What about a socket tester?

NiyiOmoIyunade:
What you really tested below is how your facility wiring was done whether it is up to code or not.

A proper earth effectiveness test requires you to isolate the earth electrode (rod) and test the resistance with a earth megger/tester - I look for resistance 5 Ohms or less but a residence can get by with something as bad as 100 Ohms.

In practice, what we do is not bother the earth rods at all but rather remove the main earth cable from DB or earth bus bar and test backwards from there - we connect the earth rod side of the tester to the exposed earth cable and the other two test legs to the test spikes and run the resistance test - with this scheme you are able to test the effective resistance of the total earth system from facility earth cable all the way back to the buried rods.

But won't his test translate to a good earth?
