I have done all that sir. It still coming up.
If its this item below you removed and cleaned or changed the filter and erase the code and said code comes back after erasing it, then change the unit. That's you made sure the wiring is intact and harness connected. You can also try changing the unscrewing and changing the sensor

Kindly follow the arrow sign.

This must be a 4plugs right? For it to be leaking so high at the back of the engine it might actually be coming from your valve cover.

Are you sure you used a good gasket and your mechanic torqued the bolts to specs properly?

If it was coming from the other side behind the engine (near the cruise control module) I’d have suspected it was your vtc solenoid gasket.

I have changed that. I learn it has to do with camshaft replacement.

Okay. Well, camshafts are easier to change than crankshafts.

Hello guys,
I have a Honda Civic 2008. for over a year now I sometimes tend to hear a rattle noise coming from the engine side while accelerating specifically at low rpm towards 2000rpm when about shifting into second gear. There's no engine stall or power loss. I use fully synthetic oil 5w20 oil only. No CEL, several mechanic have checked and said the engine is fine nothing is wrong, I'm just confused. This does not happen in neutral or park but only while driving and when it engine is warmed up, especially when the thermostat is fully open at 98 degrees celsius and the fans come on, I use my scanner to monitor this vital. I have replaced the thermostat, changed coolant, flush radiator etc (I use Honda 50/50 type 2 coolant).


Since this only happens when driving, its difficult to pin point the exact location of the problem.
One time i tried draining all the fuel in the system and refilling with fuel from a different filling station. I noticed i wasn't hearing the noise anymore for a while until one day. I have tried octane booster, injector cleaners even cleaned it the injectors and the entire fuel system.

One mech said it might be a tiny leak from to top gasket, that it might be internal heat, since this only happens when its fully warmed up. I'm just confused. There is no coolant leak or anything, no smoking, engine is still quiet and sound.

P.S The rattle noise sounds like a car that's overheating and the gas pedal is pressed, but this car is not over heating(temp gauge never gets to the middle). I noticed using AC helps to reduce the chances of the rattle since the temperature hardly exceed 78 degrees celsius when the AC is on.

If I'm to describe the sound thoroughly I would say it sounds this way "ggrrrrr". Just for a short period of time ,1 -2 seconds and only happens when I step on the gas pedal at low rpm


Please I need help and suggestions, any one experienced something similar ? Thanks and sorry for the long write up.

Good evening all, my Honda Civic 2002 just went off while driving. i started it after like a minute and it came on, Rev normally but the RPM stopped working, Key light keeps flashing and car wasn't moving normal too(like it's dragging).

I managed it to the office and parked, I removed the battery as advised but key light continues to flash after putting on engine and RPM isn't working.

please assist with what could be wrong
unable to scan with OBD Ii scanner.

Hi guys

I drive a 2008 Honda Accord and I've been seeing a check fuel cap notice on the dashboard for months now. It comes on anytime and I don't know what to do to solve this. Has anyone had the same problem and what did they do to solve it?

Visit any total fuel station and buy the green coloured coolant. Alternatively you can buy Honda's OEM coolant from luvinhubby

Did you have your fuel pump assembly or fuel gauge replaced in the past?

No. I bought it toks and I've only changed the steering rack since I bought it almost a year now. I don't know if those were changed by the dealer I bought it from.

do you run your car fuel to reserve most of the time before you refuel?

You may have a bad fuel pump or the cap of the fuel tank is bad

then my guess is your fuel pump may not be working as efficiently as it should be.

You can choose to ignore it if you want

If your fuel cap is in good condition, then it is likely your evap canister vent valve is not sealing properly.
Google and YouTube should help you with this.

Just remove the valve (it's plastic) , clean it with a dry cloth, check the seals, and reinstall. You may need to blow some air through the valve in both directions to push out any dust or cobweb.
NOTE -- Do not spray any liquid in there. You don't need such.

(This was the fix for mine about 2 or 3 years ago. It has never reocurred since then).

Good Afternoon House. I have Honda Accord 2004. Recently I noticed some vibrations from the front wheel when I’m accelerating and this vibrations will start from 40km/h up till 80km/h and vehicle starts running smoothly from that point until I’m starting over again.

I visited a mechanic to help me check the from wheel shaft and all. He complained about the skeleton/bearing in the shaft cup for the right shaft (the long one) and said the other shaft bearing I.e the driver side is manageable but this vibration still persist after changing the passenger side shaft bearing bearings. The vibration is more prevalent on the driver side recently. All engine mounts are intact.

What could be the problem? I’m considering changing the brake disc for the driver side cos I kinda notice friction and also try and replace the bearing for the driver side too. I need expert advise from the house before making my decision.

Thank you all.

Change the inner cup of your shaft.. the rollers of the inner shaft have worn out
