Occasionally, My Honda Accord 2008 CEL light flashes.

Thus usually occurs after a hard acceleration (pushing hard on the throttle).

The car feels a bit sluggish.

I have scanned and got the the P03000 misfire code.

My mechanic have checked the plugs and the ignition coils and says they are okay.

How do I solve this problem?

This Honda car won’t start when it gets very hot if I turn it off maybe to buy fuel and try to start again. Makes this draggy sound like the battery is too low to turn the starter. Starter has been changed, neutral/ground wires have been cleaned but issue persists.

My car won't go in Reverse, I spoke to my mechanic who says it's Gear issues, it was removed and I took it to ladipo in Oshodi area of Lagos, this was fixed and coupled Back in the car by a gear master, same problem again, apparently it didn't work. What could be the problem of the car not reversing, this guys are just eating money, should I just buy a new gear, I don't have the funds for it
The car is Hyundai sonata 2006
V6 engine 3.3

If you get another good well charged battery to start the car, does it have same issue?
Take measurements of the battery voltage, start the car and it’s running, take measurements of the charging voltage. Let me know what you’re dealing with.

Good day everyone, I noticed something with my car. I was driving on the highway yesterday and immediately I hit 40mph. The car started jerking and it slowed down and the acceleration wasn’t hitting again until I had to park turn off ignition and on. And the moment it hit 40mph. The check engine light begins to blink.

I recently collected the car from a mechanic workshop. It was hit by the side but everything seem to be fine before I gave him.

Experts in the house please I need your advice

You have a misfire. One or more of your plug, injector or coil or a combination of any or all of them can cause such issue. Scan and post codes here so we know what to advice you on.

Any idea how much it cost for a new gearbox or Tokunbo

Does it mean that the old one can't be fixed?

Check plugs and injectors.

Check plugs and injectors.

I should tell my mechanic to check that and replace them right?

Your mechanic should replace plugs and clean the injectors but most importantly, You should replace mechanic if you must tell him what to do to fix a misfire sir.

Drive that car for some days then rescan and post codes again.

Done that, even replaced the vvt solenoid. And now the same codes are back again.

Nope. However, I replaced my camshafts while back the mechanic replaced the Allen key on the camshaft gears with screws claiming it will hold the camshaft better.

Therein lies your problem. Pls, it’s best to recheck all your mechanic did with another competent technician.

Check the camshaft VVT actuator if it’s okay, or not.
Have the camshafts checked if it’s okay and has not been worked on, leave it, if it has been worked on, replace it and call it a day.

Good afternoon sir, pls check that the exhaust is not clogged and also scan the car to pick up fault codes (if any) then post here.
..
Good afternoon @kingreign and other automobile gurus, i was able to scan the car and the result obtained is P0717.
Also, traction control sign appeared on the dashboard. How can this be cleared?

How can i go about this pls. I'm really spending much on fuel and this is draining me financially.

Thank you.
