Good morning bosses kindly help me with this issue

After starting My Honda Accord 05 this morning the engine was shaking seriously, called my mechanic is said it's the nozzle, could that be the problem, so I won't waste money, kindly help me, thanks in advance

If you have the check engine light on, kindly scan your car. Anything including the nozzles can make it vibrate excessively but I'd start with a scan .

I noticed this too heavy vibrations when the gear is engaged when I am in traffic and foot on the brake, but when placed on neutral it stops.
Collione:


Can you describe the vibration noise a bit. Is it that the transmission makes a noise when you switch to drive or reverse or you feel heavy vibrations when the gear is engaged

Thanks for response,

It's like an humming sound with vibration, it makes the same sound but a bit lighter when I switch on the ac

Check your engine and transmission mounts. Also scan the car Incase you have codes relating to sensors that may cause vibrations

Hi Nairalanders, I just got an honda accord 08 model, Anytime I shift the gear to D or R it makes this vibration noise but it'll stop if the vehicle is on neutral

They have checked the engine seating and some other things yet the noise still persists.

Please what could be the problem.

I also need a good Mechanic at Willoghby at Oyingbo

I could recommend my Mechanic at Herbert Macaulay Oyingbo. He's Currently helping me change my gear box

The same car started showing brake and ABS on the dashboard today...

What could that mean again?

I did wheel balancing and alignment 2days ago...could it be the reason ??

No check engine light

What's your rpm when it's idle and also when the gear is engaged and AC is on. If you are in Lagos I can recommend a mechanic that can help diagnose it. If your engine mounts are good but the car vibrates it could be anything ranging from the throttle body, maf sensor, nozzles etc. You need a pro to check it out

a mechanic checked it he said two of it's nozzles are dirty, he cleaned it still the same, then he said he'll need to change it for it to go back to normal, location is pen Cinema, if your plug is close by I'd be glad if he can come check it out for me

I suspect you have 1 or 2 bad plug wires.
Ask your Mechanic to check the plug wires.

Good luck to you!

If the vibration stops when you put the gear on 'Neutral', then it's likely bad plug wire(s).
Ask your Mechanic to check the plug wires.

Good luck to you!

Pls house, I am about to buy a honda civic 2007 hybrid, owner has converted it to a normal system. Is there any issue with vehicles converted from hybrid to normal?
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by baba4thegehs: 4:56am On Dec 31, 2021
Hello friends, I noticed a red light blinking on my Honda accord 07 dashboard anytime I lock the car, this is entirely different from the anti theft light.
This is the first time I'm seeing such, and if I could recall it happend after my key remote system stopped working for like 2 weeks I had to resort to manually open and lock the car, but I recently changed the batteries on the key and it's working again, but the red light still blinks anytime I lock the car.
Not sure of what this is

Please post the picture of the red light that is blinking because to the best of my knowledge, when the doors are locked the red blinking light in my car is the antitheft light

Whenever I hear conversion here in Nigeria I become uncomfortable because I don't know the level of expertise that went into it. Are you ready for the wahala that may happen in the future if something goes wrong? I'd say avoid it

Good day gurus in the house. Please my Honda civic 07 is really frustrating me with over heating.

I've changed
Radiator cover
One fan
Single cell radiator to NEW double cell radiator


And yet my car water is drying up very quickly causing overheating. No leakage has been seen so far. Please help me. I'm really frustrated. My mechanic keep on working on Guess work. I'm tired

The manufacture has configure and design the engine to work at a certain level. Certain things in the engine are design to protect the engine etc .....

But when mechanics or car owners start to deviate from manufacture design like , changing from Automatic compressor to manual, from single cell to double cell , from coolant to using water, from 1 fan to rewire to use 2 fans. From removing thermostat etc . "All because our Nigerian weather is not like abroad" all these design are done to protect the engine from further damage, but u start to do ur own thing on the car , you end up damaging the car .. It might not happen right away , but with time the car will break down.

And this is why I don't buy Nigerian used cars. There is a reason why the previous owner decides to sell of the car
