Good evening everyone. Honda CR-V 2008 has been acting funny recently. I noticed if I accelerate over 60, one of three things is bound to happen.

1. Burning Smell from the front of the car.
2. The car can lose power mid speed. Especially if I ply a rough road or speed bump. It will just stop accelerating, acceleration pedal stops working, the battery light comes on, AC stop chilling. I’ll have to park the car and restart it before I can continue my journey.

This happened 4 times today at very risky places; third mainland bridge, eko bridge, Lekki-Epe.

I’ve recently changed the fuel pump just yesterday with hopes it will stop doing that and also jerking.

I just bought this car Nigerian used it’s not up to a month and I’m tired.

I need advice please. Thinking of selling it off cos this one was a total rookie mistake on my part being my first car. Pls help.

If the car is scannable, try scanning to know where the fault truly lies.This will save you from guess work and over spending.

Will do. Also forgot to mention, don’t know if it’s normal, although I haven’t seen this happen to other cars parked by my neighbors, when I put off the car, usually my AC runs while I drive, I sit in the car for a few minutes before going in. I’ll notice a puddle of water has leaked from under the car. Usually it was clear water, now the water has a sort of tint and it’s usually a lot.

Burchester:
My Honda Accord is showing this codes

Collione:


Locate and replace the affected sensor.

Collione:


I'll also advise that you park the car until you get it scanned. Burning smell usually points to a burning transmission fluid cos of its poor quality. Happened to me when I once used a fake dw1 transmission fluid

Femiii:
please how do you identify original dw1 transmission fluid?

Good afternoon and thanks for the help

IAT : CLEAN ELSE REPLACE (clean the sensor first then wipe fhr code and test drive for 20 minutes. If symptoms persist then replace)

MAF: CLEAN FIRST ELSE REPLACE . Also replace the air filter and service thr throttle body

fuel system too rich caused caused by a bad or dirty MAF sensor,

EGR: Get it unclogged if clogged. Replace if necessary

P2176: Your throttle body has failed to learn it's appropriate positioning based on the way you depress the pedal. Clean throttle body thoroughly and check the wiring. If it still persists then replace

P2185 : Engine coolant temperature sensor. Inspect and or replace. I hope the radiator fan isn't connected directly.

Get a rewire to check all your fuses both the one inside your vehicle in the drivers side and in the engine bay. Sometimes failed fuses causes some codes to pop up. This is especially true for the EVAP code. Replace your transmission fluid. P0172 is more than enough to make your car have driveability issues trust me I'm a testimony and the funny thing is everything asides EVAP causes drivability and fuel economy issues so it's a miracle that the car even drives

Structuralman:


Not true, without oxygen sensor, your car will also consume more fuel than required

biomedixexcel:
Thank you, and this guy has the biggest rewire workshop in Ekiti State, he has big cars patronising everyday and this made me believe him. I Google and discovered that cat and oxygen sensor work differently.

I even changed the newly purchased engine to another one and still black smoke.

Pls how much is oxygen sensor and how can I get it waybilled

Hello, please kindly help me out

My Honda DC, Only moves for like 2 to 3minute and later stop moving while on drive and doesn't Reverse. sometimes the D light will start blinking but when I press Thottle it's make sound like humming and jerk as if it's work is not complete and Off.
I thought it's was shortage of transmission oil fluid so therefore I added Holt oil fluid but stil the same...
Please your advice

Aaaaarghmed:

Collione:

Ow thank you so much Sir, I will do as you instruct.

Were you using Holt's to service the transmission? You may need to replace the transmission entirely but for now u will need a mechanics advice. If u ask me I'll say u should scan the car and find out which of your transmission solenoid is failing. Replace the solenoid in order for the D light to stop blinking, remove the fluid and replace it with original oando ATF from their filling station. If you do this and the symptoms persist, then you may have to change the transmission entirely but if it's ok for a month, then you will have to drain and refill with oando again after about month you drain and refill with thr original dw1. Good luck

Full engine is always better.

I am currently facing a similar but more severe issue.

I am also a first time car owner, here are my issues:

1. Got a 2008 Nigerian used honda accord car on 22nd Dec 2021 for N1.8m
2. I went with a friend who has been driving honda cars for over 11yrs, he brought his mechanic that has been fixing his car for over seven years.
3. Him and the mechanic confirmed the car ok before I paid, though the car was making noise but the car dealer convinced us that it was just a catalyst that we need to buy.
4. The mechanic drove the car to his workshop to do the necessary servicing and to fix the catalyst, I transferred 120k to him to buy and change everything necessary, he checked the legs, fixed new catalyst, changed the tires and changed oil using 5W-30 oil since we could not get the 5w-20.
5. After servicing the car that same day, the noise reduced but still loud, the car also vibrate on ac and on idle, I took the car back to the mechanic, he was afraid to tell me that it is an engine problem.
6. So I called the car dealer, he brought his mechanic and they confirmed that the noise is coming from the oil pump and top, I gave him 50k to change it on 28th December 2021.
7. On 20th January 2022 the same sound returned, this time it was louder, I took it to the mechanic and it was the oil pump again, this time, the price of oil pump has increased because I went with them to buy it myself, I spent 60k to fix the oil pump again on 25th Jan 2022
8. Fast forward to yesterday, 6th Feb 2022, the sound returned again.
9. Today 7th January 2022, I took it to the same mechanic, he said the parts seller sold bad oil pump to me that I should tell him to change it for me, the parts dealer is insisting that the oil pump he sold to me was ok.
9. The parts dealer brought his mechanic, they call the Mechanic 'Awilo' at Willoughby here at Oyingbo, Awilo said that he'll have to dismantle the engine in order to confirm every fault with the car, but he's suspecting that the crankshaft will be bad, that I should budget N200k.
10. I went back to the mechanic, and he advised me that I should not allow them to dismantle the engine that he is very sure that the problem is the oil pump.
10. With all the repairs that has been going on, the car still make a very loud vibration except when on motion, the ac cools well only when on motion or when the weather is cold i.e morning and evening time

Dear Nairalanders, I am regretting the fact that I used my money to go and buy wahala worth N1.8m, you guys should please help me with what I can do. I live around Oyingbo, Lagos.

Lagos.....I am based around shomolu
