Good morning guys, what do you think of getting an Honda Civic 2016 as a first car.

I’d also like to know price and if anybody has it in foreign used

Phobos19:
Need Help!!!

Car: Honda Accord 2004 2.4L i4
Problem noticed: Car drives well on a free road. After getting stuck in traffic for some mins, hard shifting is noticed (having to get to RPM to shift to the next gear). Then there is a kickback when downshifting (taking the leg off throttle). Once I park by the road side, engine off and back on, it resets. Until the next traffic.
This mostly happens after a long drive

CEL is off
Car scanned: Codes- P0685, P0780, P1734 (PCM/ECM power relay circuit control malfunction, problem in shift control system and shift solenoid valves B and C stuck on respectively)

What's the possible solution to this?

Phobos19:
I also need to add that the few weeks back, the CEL light was triggered on, scanned and it was the P0685 code on. Drove for a while and it went off on it's own.

davessales039:


Oh, understood now.
That means they are pending.

So, just look into the points listed above and revert.

davessales039:


You have all these codes and CEL is still off? How? Or are they pending?

Well, I suspect you have an intermittent short circuit fault somewhere.
Or maybe not.
Difficult to diagnose remotely.

First check for...
- low transmission fluid
- dirty transmission fluid
- leaking transmission fluid
- or maybe you are not using the right Honda transmission fluid. DW-1.
Resolve any accordingly.
If all are OK or if symptoms persist, then DM... Contact in signature.

Fantastic car. Get an accident free one.

Operation of the cooling Fan(s)


Like the thermostat, the cooling fan has to be controlled so that it allows the engine to maintain a constant temperature in most cars like my peugeot 406 the fan starts up around 87-88 degrees Celsius and stays on until the temp drops to 79degress.

Front-wheel drive cars have electric fans because the engine is usually mounted transversely, meaning the output of the engine points toward the side of the car. The fans are controlled either with a thermostatic switch or by the engine computer, and they turn on when the temperature of the coolant goes above a set point. They turn back off when the temperature drops below that point.
Rear-wheel drive cars with longitudinal engines usually have engine-driven cooling fans. These fans have a thermostatically controlled viscous clutch. This clutch is positioned at the hub of the fan, in the airflow coming through the radiator. This special viscous clutch is much like the viscous coupling sometimes found in all-wheel drive cars.

Connecting the fans to work all the time when the engine is running is bad for the engine and will reduce engine life and cause engine to burn more fuel.

Seyork4real:
Good morning, I bought a Nigerian used Elantra012 and the fan is on steady run, and I just changed my engine and I asked my mechanic to install the thermostat inside the engine because I don't want my fan to be running all the time. But the mechanic advised against it. His explanation is that, since I changed the engine, the car system has been altered that I need to put the fan direct. What do you think sir?

Promxy94:
@Gazuzz please my mechanic and oanel beater said one of my catalyst is blocked, and that it should be removed or it will damage my engine. Please how true.

Promxy94:


Thanks sir, does it mean that, i should remove my catalyst, because i heard replacement is expensive,which i dont have the money now, and i also don't want my engine to fail or spoil.

GAZZUZZ:


What it means is, confirm what you were told .

arduino:
Anybody with idea of how much inner CV joint head for 2013 Toyota Camry cost?
My mechanic quoted N20,000

So you want us to snitch

arduino:

Not necessarily, just to be sure that I am not been ripped.

Please I need guidance on what to do. My car drives well except for the check engine light which comes up after about 2 weeks or few days after refueling. The car also hesitate to fire, about a second delay when I accelerate. After scanning the scar with my OB11 scanner these are the results. It’s an ES350.

GAZZUZZ:


For both or 1?

arduino:

One. Driver side.

GAZZUZZ:


you really cannot police these things unless you want to buy it your self.

There are so many grades of same product , all of which will work but vary in lifespan.
