Take your vehicle through a diagnostic process that’s first thing first. Secondly get a professional to have it fixed. What has a v8 fuel pump got to do with an i4 engine
Well, that's the recommendation I earlier got and I was told the nozzle regulates the fuel entering into the engine.
I don't know if there is a scanner that throws up a code indicating a faulty pump or nozzles or even plugs.
That's why it a challenge to me.

Get your car scanned, but i will suggest you change the complete fuel pump assy.
I just changed the pump and the fuel filter 20th April.

I scanned with the OBD II Bluetooth
Scanner already, it didn't bring out any fault code.

Good evening Engineers and Bosses.

My Honda city 2006 model have been battling with Nozzle, Fuel Pump and plugs issues due to hard starting issues since last month.

The car have been experiencing Hard starting lately and when mechanics check, they say it's the plugs that it's overfloating and the nozzle isn't good.

So I was told to replace the fuel pump and nozzle, I had already replaced the Plugs 28th February this year, So I replaced the fuel pump twice within a week, the first one worked for 3 days and then I got another one both are V8 fuel pumps though the car is V4 cylinder ( which was the last type of fuel pump I used and it lasted 6months before I had this issue, though not the exact brand of the V8 pump).

But just less than 3 weeks I am experiencing the same hard starting again and it started when I didn't start the car for between 18 -20hours of no usage last week.

I had bought Original GPower Plugs at ₦7,000 for the 4 pieces, this February, but now the Hard Starting seems worse than the 3 times I experienced it last month after I took it to a mechanic yesterday. The plugs and nozzles were cleaned yet the car isn't firing well even when it starts, it takes time to cold run smoothly.

Please what can be done to remedy the issues. I have used the same car for over 18 months with no single record of hard starting before now though was using a 4 cylinder fuel pump initially before switching to a V8 fuel pump after the last 4 cylinder fuel pump had issues and I was advertised by Rewires that V8 will be better for the car and correct some of the issues I was having when I start the car in the mornings and when I am climbing the hilly bad road to my house slowly on my way back home.

I suspect Fuel Pump issue on my Honda City 2006

Happy Sunday to our highly esteemed engineers and gurus in the house.I thank you all for always being there to help us. Your help saved my Honda City 2006 from Transmission Issue couple of weeks ago. Thank you once again.
Please does Honda City 2006 select fuel pump? I noticed 4 days ago that when you press the gas pedal say at 60km/h the speed tends to reduce, at times it 'feels' as though it's moves backwards before moving forward, then the speedometer can just return to zero abruptly and unable to move for seconds as if it's switched off yet it isn't off, then it comes up as you press the gas pedal again. I called my Mechanic, he said it's Fuel pump, he changed it and changed the filter too. The one he removed was a Toyota Pump which means it has been changed before. After the changing, he said it's not working well and he he had to try like 2 different pumps. But after I received it, I noticed now you feel a shaking on the steering which becomes pronounced if you keep pressing the gas pedal which happens when mostly on gears, 4 ,5 and 6. I noticed before long it has gotten to gear 7 and it hardly returns back to gear 2. You stop feeling the shaking when you remove your leg from the gas pedal. At times while driving you feel a lose of power despite pressing the gas pedal and this makes it so difficult to overtake. I just changed the oil thinking perhaps it's the reason for the lose in power but after the mechanic worked on it, the supposed fuel pump isn't resolved.
What do you suggest please? My Mechanic doesn't know what next to do. He needs to be instructed. I need help please.
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by otbaba: 12:11pm On Feb 01, 2022
Hello All, please kindly help me thank Mr Aigbe @ aieromon, who came to my rescue yesterday as per doing a proper scan is concerned and scanned the Honda City car free of charge. His selflessness, patience and gentlemanliness amazes me.

Car was scanned and results came forth. I desire help from well esteemed engineers in the house for interpretation and resolution. Thank you all

Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by otbaba: 5:17pm On Jan 31, 2022
The frequency of usage has drastically reduced after my bringing it up here for fear of further damage.
But it can be managed pending when we can get another gear replacement. In the meantime we would change the oil this week.
Infact until you mentioned check engine light, my attention wasn't drawn to it. What could that have meant please?

Conner44:
are you still driving it with the jezco oil inside ?

If i were you I’d just buy another gearbox and then use that original fluid in your picture to lubricate it

If you know you can still manage it with the symptoms it’s giving you then change the fluid and see what happens

After you scanned the car the technician should have told you the codes for why your car check engine light is on

Oh, that was typographical error. It's 08032868545
aieromon:
Share your number. I called the number on my mention and the person denied any knowledge of this platform.
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by otbaba: 2:51pm On Jan 31, 2022
Thank you so much Conner44, I sincerely appreciate your follow up and counsel.

The Check engine yellow light was on then but the D light wasn't blinking. The blinking is occasionally. We even waited for long test driving and it didn't blink. The Technician said he would have appreciated the light come on now that he is with us but nothing of the 3 main issues except for the shuddering which happens at low speed or traffic hold up when you slow down and then press the gas pedal to accelerate.

After plenty reading online, I suppose it's a peculiar issue with Honda CVT transmission for Honda Jazz, Fit and City older models. Using Honda recommended CVT fluids works in some cases not all to ameliorate the jerking but not 100% guarantee except if you have been changing the transmission oil after about 12-15k regularly according to users report.

Some also mentioned changing the Clutch but it requires serious skill and to make matters good, most of our road side mechanics don't know about CVT transmission properly yet.

Then one of the options was to add an anti-shuddering additive ( Extreme Power Oil sold in the US) to the CVT Fluid which was commonly done for users in Asia, Thailand, Malaysia and the likes, that brought 75% or more success rate according to the forum I check but the last option would be to change the transmission for another one and then sticking to recommended transmission oil. Those comments from the forum was however several years before now, maybe 8-10 years. I don't know if there are better options now.
Kindly see the link below.

https://rayazmuthalif./2008/07/08/how-to-avoid-cvt-gearbox-failures-in-honda-city-fit-jazz-a-sri-lankan-perspective/#comment-76

Once again I appreciate you and the other engineers in the house, you are blessing to us. I am already making efforts to get the recommended CVT shown below. I will update the House once that is done. Thank you all for your time and counsels.

Conner44:
Is your check engine light on ? Is your D light still blinking? If your drive light was blinking when the technician performed the scan then there should be codes

Except if the scan tool used wasn’t powerful enough to scan the whole systems of the car . You need a scan tool that’s capable of reading codes from both the engine and transmission too. I’d advise you to check someone else because Not all scanners are able to do so

Since the technician noticed that the problem is from inside the gearbox then I’d advise you to change the fluid and see if there’d be any improvement before thinking of driving the car any further or buying another gearbox

Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by otbaba: 2:28pm On Jan 31, 2022
Alright@ aieromon. Thank you Sir for the privilege. I will appreciate having your number so I can chat you up on WhatsApp. I am also looking forward to get the CVT Fluid before weekend so I can change that first.

Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by otbaba: 9:48pm On Jan 29, 2022
Thanks so much. I ran the test today and no fault code was detected. I was even asking the guy if it's gear sensor, he said both the first and second transmission solenoid are good and no fault code is detected on the car. I was curious to ask and ask again but no fault code detected using LAUNCH full diagnostic. He even said not all scan can work on the Honda City 2006. Sincerely, I was shocked.d Would still go for another scan perhaps using another machine though be said Launch works well with Honda City 2006 and the car doesn't work with most diagnostic out there.

Collione:
First and foremost no one is above mistakes. The purpose of this forum is for learning and Sharing ideas. That being said, stop driving your car to avoid more damages. Yes it's very possible that your transmission it's last legs but do the best you can at the moment. Scan the car and share the codes here. Amongst those codes it will reveal the sensors causing issues on your CVT transmission. Secondly drain that transmission fluid too . When you have replaced the bad transmission solenoid and also replaced the fluid, drive the car for a week. If the car doesn't display any further problems, drain the transmission fluid again and put in a new one. But if it still gives issues after all this, then manage it till you can afford another. Times are hard and I know how you feel. Scan the car and let's start from there
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by otbaba: 9:38pm On Jan 29, 2022
Thanks conner44. I was Apo in Abuja to scan the car today using LAUNCH X431 CRP 808 full system diagnostic OBD Scanner, but to my amazement, no fault code was detected. The guy tried checking a couple of times but nothing was detected. It read NO FAULT CODE.

He later drove it on a ramp and saw that the Connector is vibrating and not smooth as it revolves. So he said we would need to get another one but while he called a gear specialist, he was told that it's likely that connector and the chains in the gear box that the car uses pulley of which the two parts are so hard to come by.

So I had to leave his workshop. Thanks for the support everyone. It's appreciated.
Conner44:
The truth is that from the first day that your mechanic poured the palm oil into your gearbox and you drove out of his workshop the damage to your gearbox started happening

The more kilometers and months you drove the car with the wrong oil in it the more the damage occurred and things inside your gearbox got spoilt until it reached the stage where it began giving you bad shifting issues

If you decide to change out the palm oil and pour in the recommended cvt fluid at this moment it will stop anymore damage from being done BUT it will not reverse the damage that has already been done inside the gearbox because of the wrong oil used so you’d be managing it with it’s current issues henceforth hoping it gets a bit better with time

If you keep driving it with palm oil inside it will keep worsening the damage being done inside the gearbox until it spoils finally it might take days, months or maybe years but it MUST kpafuka sooner than later

If you’re opportune to meet capably skilled technician he can attempt to rebuild your gearbox valve body but the probability of that fixing your gearbox back to how it was designed to work is 50%

So those are your three available options except you purchase another gearbox

Plus that scan you’re neglecting to do is very much needed at this moment
Car TalkRe: Camry 2010 Gear Not Up Shifting by otbaba: 9:26pm On Jan 29, 2022
I think we are making so much fuse about gear oil. Even though that may be a culprit but most times there could be something more. Let your mechanic check the more or let our ogas in the house give expert advise.
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by otbaba: 1:12pm On Jan 29, 2022
Hello Conner44, Luvinhunby and other great engineers. You deserve an honorary degrees in Automative engineering. Thank you for the great work. You are indeed a blessing to us and may God multiply your joy.

Please I am in between opinions based on the jerking issues I had after using Jeezco palm oil for my Honda City 2006 which I earlier explained.
Please how long can I still drive it before changing the transmission. I learnt transmission is 200k and it's not within my reach now.
Also Original Honda CVT it around 6,500 per litre or so, can changing the oil help reduce the jerky and gear shifting issues, and the occasional blinking of the Drive D signal when engine is started? and for how long can I keep managing that before changing the transmission. I intend scanning the car perhaps there are other issues to be addressed too aside the gear and what are the chances of repairing the Body Value of the CVT gears pending when a new one will be procured. Sincerely I need experienced and sincere counsel. The deed has been done. Thank you all. I am grateful.

Thanks Conner44. You are appreciated!


Conner44:
Draining out the palm oil and putting in the recommended transmission fluid at this point will leave you with a 20% probability of your issues being resolved and as you can see that is a very low chance but shoot for the moon if you have a lucky vibe

You can also download your vehicles owners manual from the internet to your computer or phone. The price for ignorance is what you’re about to pay

If you’re not yet ready to scrap your car then run away from both oando oil and whoever’s making such suggestions to you in the first place
Car TalkRe: 2006 Honda City Transmission Vibration While Trying To Move by otbaba: 2:49pm On Jan 27, 2022
lease I need technical support for Honda City 2006 automatic 7 speed mode.

I noticed that lately when you are on a slow speed and you decide to accelerate again ,it jerks and jerks vigorously when you attempt to climb a hill.

Also, I noticed that after it has been driven for some time and parked, by the time you want to drive again say after another couple of hours it doesn't respond when you put the gear on drive. It will just revv and no motion will take place until you change the gear back to park and then back to drive twice or more before it will now respond. Though when on reverse or neutral it doesn't behave like that.

I also noticed that I could be driving and occasionally it will just revv by itself and no motion will take place for a couple of seconds. Instead you could see a deceleration of the gear speed back to 1 even when you try to fire the engine. I will have to switch between park and drive for it to respond again and move .

Lastly I noticed the green light when on drive could be blinking when I intend to start the car at times. I will have to allow it cool for some time and restart the car before the blinking stops.

Please what can be the issue? My mechanic says it was initially coil affecting the transmission , we changed it, later we changed the plugs and also one of the sensors but the these things still continues... And the jerking can be very profound if the A/C is on and you are about to accelerate maybe after a hold up. Someone said maybe it's the gear but sincerely on a normal speed no jerking of any sort. I changed the transmission ATF after ignorantly consulting people who where ignorant about gear transmission like I was and Jeezco ATF was recommended by Mechanics some months ago around October.

What recommended Oil can be used and where can I get it Please...Help pls

Kindly help pls.
Car TalkRe: Let's Talk About Automatic Transmission Fluid (gear Oil) by otbaba: 2:39pm On Jan 27, 2022
Please , My mechanic told me Jeezco ATF is good for Honda City 2006. I was ignorant to believe him. I have used it now for like 4 months but I lately I realized the car jerks when I try to accelerate after an hold up and also when I intend climbing a hill on low speed. Gears engages well but at times in drive it will not move unless you switch between park and drive for a 2 times before it will move. This happens after you have parked for some time and you aren't on a sloppy plane.


Which Oil can be recommended for Honda City 2006 , and if the recommended Oil is not available, which one can serve as a fair replacement/alternative.

Also what ATF can be recommended for the car in question?
Car TalkRe: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by otbaba:
I will like to know if the recommended ATF for Honda City 2006 can be gotten in Abuja and where, I am hopeful changing that will help the transmission considering the fact that the issues just started lately?
