When you said your vehicle isn’t working fine tell us what are the symptoms that it’s giving you as you drive (what are the problems you’re experiencing)

According to your scanned codes

The MAP is a sensor located on your engines intake manifold (the four pipe-like stuffs that are joined together with your engine). Check if its wiring from the harness is plugged in properly or change the sensor totally if it’s wiring is looking okay. When this sensor malfunctions if you start the vehicle and try to step on your throttle pedal you will bog the engine down and it will trip off.

For the ECT problem if your vehicle has no thermostat installed and it’s cooling fan wired to work continuously from when you turn your ignition switch on this will be the cause of this problem. You need to check the ECT sensor that is situated at the bottom rail of your radiator and see if it’s there. Check if its wiring from the harness is plugged in properly or change the sensor totally if it’s wiring is looking okay. If this sensor is giving issues you’d have poor fuel management.

The IAT is a sensor located on one of the plastic tubing going from your intake resonator (air box) to your injector mouth (throttle body). Check if its wiring from the harness is plugged in properly or change the sensor totally if it’s wiring is looking okay. Failure of this sensor will make your engine not idle properly and use much more fuel to stay alive.

For your other codes you should have tapped on it so it displays the specific code instead of the general ones.

I need ur WhatsApp digit bro

The car doesn't idle well. . it can go off when I come to a stop.....it doesn't accelerate in respect to how I press the pedal... If I don't get to high gear before climbing a hill it won't change gear on the hill.
Iffa break it doesn't respond to the gas pedal immediately. Are a mechanic? I really need the car to work 100% it's for ehailing

All these symptoms are what you’d experience with the kind of codes your vehicle gave you. Luckily for you 90% of them are east fixes so far as the mechanic who switched the tukumbo in didn’t damage your harness or brainbox while doing so.

As for your other 2 codes one is pointing towards your knock sensor. This one usually has a single wire plug that sits on the engine block itself. Check if the mechanic didn’t break the sensor or it’s plug. Check it’s wiring if it’s properly plugged in and not damaged.

Most mechanics who are not careful usually break many sensors as they are changing engines so better hope that’s your case. They won’t even tell you. They will just hook everything up and crank the vehicle hopeful it fires to life.

The last one is pointing to your an issue with your engines VTEC engagement. Vtec is a very important aspect of your engine. If things are not right with your engines health it will not engage and your vehicle will not have its optimal power.

The vtec solenoid itself can go bad but other times Loss of oil pressure, timing chain or camshaft issues can also trigger that particular vtec code. Still check it’s wiring and hope it’s okay too.

If you’re lucky once you change out or check the plugs and wiring of all the other sensors I spoke of this particular vtec code will follow others to disappear. If not I hope you’re still within warranty period for your tokumbo engine.

Good day everyone in the house. Recently i noticed my car DC 07, jerk on motion and the sound also changed from normal that I know but still moving well.

Just now as I want to enter my car I discovered oil dropping down directly under the engine. I can't really explain when it started but just noticed now. I am afraid to start the car now as i speak.
Please what are the urgent steps to take, really confused

Bro these steps are too much for a layman like me do you have someone you can refer or are you a technician....I'm still in the time frame of the warranty..
Abeg na some days remain
The car isn't running smoothly at all

Take the vehicle to a mechanic who understands where the following items are in the engine bay and ask him to check them out one by one.

1. Knock Sensor
2. IAT Sensor
3. ECT sensor
4. MAP Sensor

Or you can go to YouTube and search for videos that would show you exactly where those sensors are in your engine. Example if your civic is a 2007 model you can go to google and search for

“ 2007 Honda civic knock sensor replacement “ and you will see how to check and change each of those sensors out by yourself or at least you’d have a general idea of what and where they are in your engine bay. Check the four of the sensors I stated above first before you go to check the VTEC solenoid.

The urgent step to take is to find out what exactly is leaking and from where.

You have engine oil, gearbox oil, power steering oil, coolant and brake fluid that can leak out from your vehicle. So check all your fluid levels and know which of them is short.

Thanks I will do that and get back to the house

Hmm bro I wanna thank you....when I got to the meco place he brought out the knock sensor and the VTEC solenoid.....that the engine we bought didn't carry them but the old one did so he kept it.
We put everything back and the engine light is off. We're still on it sha.

Now I think the engine is running rich on fuel it's really gulping fuel.....and it's bringing out black smoke

Take it for another scan so you can know the exact problem that remains

Evening y'all
I have a few questions to ask so permit me if my write-up is a bit lengthy.
Recently bought an Acura MDX 05. car is clean. Not dints or anything.
First thing is noticed is rough idling with the VTM-4 light on. Check engine light was on so I scanned and got series of misfire codes ranging from Cyl 1-6 and random misfire codes.
The engine was checked and we discovered two nozzles totally blocked. Those were replaced and the remaining 4 serviced. The MAF, PCV, EGR and throttle body were cleaned. Car ran fine for a while until another set of codes came up. This time around all the Oxygen sensors 2up and 2down have heater circuit issues
Now my question is. Can 4 O2 sensors die simultaneously?
I'm getting terrible gas mileage.. around 5.3km/l or so..
I'm not convinced all 4 went bad at once..
I've posted the scan results.. if anyone can help with some insight

PS: in the morning or after a long parking. I can detect a faint smell of petrol around the car when I start it . it just hovers there for a while..

Are the sockets connected properly?

I need help.

My engine warms up quickly and reach the operating temperature on idle.

However, when driving on highway on cold days, the temperature level drops halfway down.

It does this once in a while especially when it is very Cold.

I suspect the thermostat.

Kindly help me with this.

Thanks.

Yes boss

Some of these Honda accords with LED bulbs and strips have been known to have failed LEDs DRL. There is a TSB for ‘15-‘17 models on this issue and the recommended fix is replacement of headlamp assembly.

Oh Thaks boss. So I need to replace headlamp be that ooo. Okay, I think over it. Thanks again boss

Have an electrician check the wirings and fuse box first before you do this replacement.

Jejely get a Toyota.

Honda is notorious for such rubbish when old and wiring has been tampered with.


You no fed up pass me when my honda civic was behaving this way.

All the whole rewire in town knew me.

Either you scan the car for codes so we can know what your issue is.

buy a tokumbo fuse box and replace the faulty one in your bonnet since touching of fuse solves the problem

or you sell the vehicle and have some peace for your body and pocket

I can't sell it oh. That's how I sold my matrix for scarp after spending 250k on it.
Theses are the codes
