Happy Holidays.

I have been having a constant rough idle(RPM fluctuates on its own) on my Honda Civic 07 since the throttle body was cleaned. Will changing the throttle body fix this or are there other things I should look out for?

I initially thought it was relearning, but this has been happening for months
In that case 2 likely scenario
1 You take the throttle body for dismantling and proper servicing

2 Throttle body is unsalvageable and u need a replacement

Kindly wait for my Ogas to validate

I have an 08 Accord with low power (sluggish). Codes pulled up are P0341 and P0135. I've changed 02 sensors, about to change the gear fluid to DW1 cos previous owner used those oils in red can.

I've bought new fuel pump and filter and serviced nozzle and throttle body as well.

Car is still sluggish and feels like using all the power to move. What should I do?

Have you worked on your camshafts before? Seems to be stuck (not advancing or retarding)



Remove the catalytic converter port.

Get a bucket of water

Pour the water into it.

If the water drains out instantly put the catalytic converter port back.

If it holds water, the catalytic converter is blocked. Remove the contents completely .

Car should breath better after this.

GAZZUZZ Good day sir. pls I started observing Poor fuel millage and black dry smoke on the exhaust. Sluggish acceleration, if i turn car off and on in motion the sluggishness disappeares temporarily.

aCamry 2003 v6.

I scanned & found these codes.

P0300 Multiple cylinder misfire
P0171 System too lean (bank 1)
P0113 Intake air temperature circuit high input

Please sir What can I do to solve this problem.
Someone mentioned Airflow meter could it be the cause.
Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by kala111: 10:24pm On Apr 03, 2021
My Corolla 05 makes a knocking sound when I put on the ignition with the engine oil light on. It goes off when throttle down and sound normal.

Also, the engine oil light blinks when car is idle or while braking mostly when the engine is warm and must have work for several minutes or hour.

I have just charged the oil pump thinking that was the culprit but the problem still persist.

What could have gone wrong pls expert in the house?

Replacing oil pump will not solve low oil pressure issues.

You have excessive clearance between crankshaft and bearings.

You need to do a major engine overhaul which will involve replacing the crankshaft or cutting it to next possible size and replacing bearings.

Good morning the Gazzuzzin!

I drive a Honda City "07, bought in February, 2021 as a Nigerian used car. Truth be said, I have never enjoyed the car one bit - it's problem-ridden. I have spent so much going in and out of mechanical workshops.
Now the car overheats like hell, engine vibrates like earthquake sites, the electrical..., etc.. I need help.

Can't use it for what I bought it for and it's so annoying. My major concern right now is how to overcome the overheating.

Thanks already!
