I wil take d picx of d broken adjuster buh my mech fixed another one just that d belt is now shorter, so we r getting bigger 1

Conner44:


Just take the pic let us see. Of both the adjuster that got burnt and the place where the bolt broke off from.

Conner44:


Since you checked and saw that the fuses and wiring are okay it simply means you need new horns. Go and buy tokumbo ones (not new ones oh) and install them.

Horns go bad from time to time especially on older vehicles

Okay Sir, thanks.

Pls what should be my Budget?

Here r d adjuster

Namzy:


You can test for the vtc solenoid using an advanced scan tool.

This I what I got. Advise further

Please who has an idea on how much to fix passenger side front beam . I keep hearing noises in gallops .
And which is better to service or change compressor . My AC is not cooling efficiently and this is dry season
Car is 2008 Accord

If your oil is clean, then remove and clean the sensor and scan again if problem remains, then change the sensor

Good afternoon.
Honda CRV 2008 recently started having this problem: The AC works fine while driving, but once it comes to idle or at at a traffic stop light, the car suddenly shudders with a drop in the rpm and in some instances dies. I start it back on, and it work again till the next stop sign and it happens all over again. I have scanned and there no codes. i would really appreciate your comments.

Hello house.
I've been having this nagging check engine light that keeps popping up after clearing it every two days of driving. (P1028) saying engine is running too low for temperature sensor to detect. I have Changed the thermostat with a brand new OEM I got from AliExpress. I have also had the coolant changed. For the sensors, I had both changed with a fairly used due to this Nigeria dollar policy I couldn't get new ones from AliExpress as at the time of changing the coolant.
I have managed to place an order for new sensors hopefully it should mitigate the issue.
Kindly drop your advise to help with this situation if I haven't done all that is required.
Thanks.
PS.
Took it to the guys at automedics and they said it's the ECU abi na brain box. I felt that was off as the car in question is just two months old. Bought it foreign used civic 06.

How do you order from AliExpress and which address do you use for collection?

Here r d adjuster

What of the replacement one, are you sure they are using the right type of adjuster for you now?

Because the belt size isn’t supposed to change except something awkward was installed on the engine. Check if the previous owner ever changed either the ac compressor or adjuster before. Maybe you’re using the right type now.

It’s still surprising how these things snap like that. I’m sure you’ve replaced the belt by now, how is it functioning compared to before?

Since you have no check engine light on then maybe the vehicle is due for service. The throttle body could be clogged up especially if you haven’t gone there in a while even when changing the engine oil

Is the beam the shocks? Is that what you mean by beam?

Many things can cause noises in the suspension.

Cross posting from the other car maintenance thread.

I have a problem with my MDX I hope the gurus can help. Whenever I’m driving at low speeds somewhere between 20 - 40 km per hour, there is is sound I hear like kran kran kran . Sounds like the vibration of a loose bolt or one metal making contact with another. The thing is when I am above this speed (cruising speed), the sound goes away, but the moment I slow down back to that speed range, the sound comes back. Also, below 20 kmph, I don’t hear the sound.

Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Please my honda civic 04 get some issues
Iffa on AC and I come to a halt/stop (holdup).The Rpm drops to 0 or 0.2. THen the car almost trips off . The throttle doesn't respond immediately until like 10secs.

Also when I apply brake I dey something like gbim gbim or when I turn the steering sharply

I guess d previous belt was installed inappropriately for it to fit in,
Now av bought another belt buh d issue am having now is that when d belt hot it brings sound buh when I off d Engine for some minute d sound comes back normal, so I still don't get what's happening

This is my exact problem too.
Scanned it no codes

Thanks Sir.
Would try to clean the throttle body....But, can i ask the mech to increase the engine speed/rpm?

Conner44:

Lets hope there is solution. would also share the updates so we all can be educated.

No, under no circumstances should anyone tamper with the rpm speed.

Let the mechanic just carefully clean your throttle body and maybe injectors then clean spark plugs too.

The engine should normalize.

It’s either the belt isn’t the right size or the adjuster isn’t functioning properly. I will buy another spare belt and keep in my boot if I were you.

OK boss

Not shocks . I have changed my shocks still hear noises . I was told to change or repair my beam

Not downshifting properly.
Anything between dirty fluids, bad shift sensor or burnt clutch fibre.

What I found!

Dear Gurus,

Kindly assist with solutions to my fuel consuming EOD 4cyl.

Full tank usually runs for about 130 km before showing yellow on the fuel guage.

When engine is idling or driving you won't see or notice black smoke on cabon coming out from exhaust but if you dip your finger inside the exhaust you will bring out black carbon from the exhaust.

I scanned, it got 02 Sensor 1 and 2 codes. I have changed the sensors. No check engine sign on the dash board again, however, the fuel consumption is till the same, if you dip your finger inside the exhaust pipe, you will still bring out thick black carbon.

I need help, please!!

I swear I don’t know what this beam our mechanics speak about is. There’s nothing called a beam in the suspension of the accord, but our mechanics give certain parts their own unique names. Maybe If I saw a picture of it I’d understand.

mejai:

Have you ever touched your tps before? Have you changed it in the past? It’s like it’s been tampered with and the settings isn’t as from factory again. What is the issue you currently experience as you drive?

If your tps is still good but the settings has been tampered with then you’d need to use a multimeter to reconfigure it according to factory specs Or you’d have to purchase another tokumbo throttle body/injector mouth.

When last did you check your injectors? A leaking injector can cause your issue if truly your oxygen sensors are good and you have no check engine light on.

The black carbon you feel in your exhaust, is it dry or oily?

Thanks for your response.

No leakeage sir. I have serviced the injector twice this year. I even added Total fuel additives injector cleaner to my fuel 2 months ago. (I was desperate).

The black carbon is dry, not oily.

Fuel additives.

Your engine is running rich, too much fuel is getting into your cylinders for combustion.

There are only 2 causes of this issue,

1. either your oxygen sensors are not the right type for your vehicle but your brainbox sees it but forces itself to work with the default parameters available. Honda oxygen sensors resemble each other very much and it’s easy to but a wrong replacement. (I’ve seen people put civic or Acura O2 sensors in their vehicles and still experience high fuel consumption without any check engine lights on)

2. Your fuel injectors are leaking (stuck open), in this case even if you like clean them from now till next year it won’t change anything because it’s not dirt that’s their issue but the spray mechanism is stuck plus it’s not easy for a normal mechanic to know if it’s stuck or not. The best solution will be to replace them with good working ones.

From the way your vehicle drinks fuel, your issue must fall between either of the two options above so far your idle rpm isn’t high due to a vacuum leak

You need someone with a good scan tool to monitor your fuel trims to know for sure where the problem is coming from.

Thank you so much.

I will work on your suggestions.

I can't say if it had been tampered with or not. But what it does is this; while on motion there's an erratic jerk(not so much), then the gear stalls. Acceleration will be slow. When engine is switched off and on, it moves fine till it happens again.

So far as when you switch off the engine and put it on again it functions properly then it means the issue is electrical.

I believe the sensor is bad. You’d need to buy another one and fix.
