I had to buy a new engine as the former one lost much compression and was shorting oil. The car had no check engine lights at all and everything else works fine. Then came the change.

After mounting and fixing, the new engine started but was going off once you took your foot off the throttle so someone checked the timing and it seemed to be working fine.

After I started using it I noticed that if I switch on the ac and the car is idling it vibrates so badly that the whole car is shaking. The only way to stop the vibration is by increasing the idle speed (which isn’t proper). My usual idle is 700-800rpm but when I switch on ac it drops dangerously first and almost stalls the engine before rising to 600rpm steady but vibrating. I put in another iaac valve but the symptoms still persisted.

I also noticed that once the engine is properly warmed up after driving a distance and I come to a stop and switch to neutral the tachometer first settles at about 800rpm then if I don’t use the throttle after about 10seconds it settles down further to around 600rpm. My old engine never behaved this way. If I should switch on the ac at this point the engine usually stalls 90% of the time.


All the engine and transmission mounts are good because they were checked. I scanned and got two codes. P0341 (camshaft position sensor A), P0747 (Pressure control solenoid A stuck on)

I went online to find out the exact vehicle this engine was for but can’t seem to pinpoint it. Then if I go on Honda site they don’t even show specifications for this K24A6 range of engines.

When the Mech was Installing the engine he swapped the portion housing the water pump with my old engine because he said the new engine’s own wasn’t compatible. So I took out the water pump from the new engine and put it in my old housing to use (I’m talking about a unit on the K24 engine block which houses the water pump)

I just wish I could know what exact car used this engine so I can understand it better and know how to sort it’s codes. The only issue I’m having with it is that it vibrates with the ac and the idle speed not adjusting as it should.

Please do you know the symptoms of the balance shaft not functional on these K24 engines?

Clearly wrong engine for the car.

Joe4lv:
I am interested and will need your number. I am in onitsha

Unfortunately, I am out of supplies!

Inception:

Yes!

Could you please give me the part number on the can?

Will check when I get home from work

9icetoo:
Tot you drove a Honda

I do

9icetoo:
Where did you buy it?
And how much?

Bought on Jumia. I think 5k or so

Since my car is GDI I have also acquired this CRC intake valve & turbo cleaner. I will be get a borescope to see before and after pics of the intake valves/combustion chamber.

I will be celebrating 250k miles on my car soon.

Modified
Car is MPFI not GDI. Thanks to the demeanor that highlighted this. Inception you know ya sef

Polyetheramine (PEA) is reputed to be the top-of-the-line detergent that breaks down carbon deposits. It is the strongest cleaning agent, generally expensive and not many cleaners contain it.

So I used this product and I'm seeing positive results.

I usually get about 170miles by the time my fuel tank reaches half. Note I stop filling my tank when the dispenser clicks and I use AC always (except mornings that are cold).

I didn't really notice a difference in the refill that I added the product to. But in my second fill up since using this product I got 192 miles by half tank. This is the first time I am using a product that has PEA. More on this is subsequent posts...

Money market assets in which Money market funds invest in include
Treasury Bills,
Commercial Papers,
Bankers’ Acceptance,
Certificate of Deposits etc.

Treasury bills always has the highest allocation, so whatever that affects treasury bills will have a huge impact on the rates of the money market fund.
Right now treasury bills are starting to trend down, if that continues, the implication is that money market rates will also trend down.

Declaimer: its just a forecast not a prophesy

Thanks

ernie4life:
About 12% with a strong likely hood of dropping lower in the coming days.

Do you mind clarifying what the likelihood is based on?

Kudos Gazzuzz, the way you are elevating these days... Thumbs up!!!

Employ me for Gazzuzz45 or Gazzuzz Autos na

Felicity001:
Please I need solution guys, this is the issue with my Honda EOD'05. If I start engine in the morning to go out everything works perfectly but once car has work for long or travel for like 20-50km and on say 120km/h the car will just automatically slow down to 0km/h, no matter how much I accelerate it won't speed up but gear will be struggling to select. But if I pull over, off the engine, allow for like 2-5minutes the gear will pick up normally and start working normally again but continues again after some distance and this will go on over and over.

When last was your air cleaner element(engine air filter) replaced? That might be your problem. It is an inexpensive part usually not up to 3k

lanre2009:
good morning guys. pls i have an issue with my 2006 honda accord. the radiator is a single cell. It got cracked due to someones carelessness. I am being adviced to install a double cell type and direct the fan to always be on anytime i switch on the ignition. Is this advisable? Or should i just install a signal cell type and leave the fan the way it is.?

I also noticed that fuel consumption has increased on the car, pls what could be responsible for this?

Flee this so called mechanic. He does not understand what it takes to maintain modern cars. I have a 2003 accord which I have had for 10 years now. I maintain it myself and have replaced the radiator. I stuck with single cell. Video of the repair procedure is below

GAZZUZZ:
Car creeper board.

Really nice!

Edunwa302:
I mean the symptoms you mentioned

Does the car smoke? Can you confirm you check engine light bulb was not removed?

This reminds me of my days in clinical medicine, managing patients with chronic kidney disease.. it can be financially draining and very painful for caregiver to watch their loved ones.

Princetom1 I don't know if erythropoetin was prescribed as part of management? Crazily expensive drug with wide price variations depending on source. Hope you are getting a good deal for the drug?

@ all do help as you are able.

Thanks Gazzuzz. Mention not working well. Will heed the call.
Princetom1 all the best man. Wishing you God's grace and healing.

Really nice work Gazzuzz... I like the way you cherry-picked the replacement batteries! Quite cost effective I must say. It's just nice when things come together.

radautoworks:
Also, use better gas not star, Harp, etc

I stand by Harp o! It's made in the Queen's land

The only ish is that there's a knockoff of it. The fake uses the regular can tap that all the Chinese ones use. Genuine Harp gas uses a unique tap/valve.

9icetoo:
At the bolder, if na Mercedes, e go Don do better barrel roll.
*runs out of thread*

This table that you are shaking....
Come back to the thread o. There's a storm coming...

I kept thinking did he doze off or what? Then I saw him exchanging words with a driver of one of the green Mazda taxis that litter Abuja. This exchange was calm and didn't come across as heated. It didn't seem like the green cab caused the incident.

I thanked God there was no "accident" and zoomed off.

After this, I kind of thought better of the Camry. The car was just short of starting a barrel roll but rather did a 180.

The End

I actually felt something in the suspension would break from the abnormal movements. However, what I found a bit funny was that as soon as the 180 spin was complete, the guy drove the Camry back into the service lane, good enough he was directly facing the entry to the fast lane.

I had a view of the guy, he didn't look startled as he made his way into the service lane

This guy did a complete 180 spin facing exactly the direction he entered the fast lane from. There was screeching everywhere! At this point it was looking like a car chase scene out of a movie.

Then all of a sudden this Toyota Camry swerved over the low barrier between the service and fast lane. Things were happening so fast yet it was almost as though time froze. It seemed unreal to me, but there I was.

Fellow motorists had slown down too and it was as though everyone held their breaths. I was in front of the pile with a front-row view.

rationalmind:
No more 140

It was early morning and no need to engage fast and furious...

You guys are funny
Gazzuzz, diportivo, rationalmind, TheCar, Kingreign, Justiniyke29.

I'm back!!!

I instinctively slowed down scanning the landscape to see where the action was coming from.

Then my eye caught an out of control 2008 Toyota Camry on the service lane... Everything was in full view. I had slowed down to the point where there was no threat to me. I was only watching and praying that nothing happened
