And worse, it guzzled the entire fuel. To illustrate, it took N2,000 fuel from Egbeda to Mangoro!!!

Somebody please help with knowledgeable suggestions I'm distressed right now. I mean, nothing serious was wrong with the car, I only went for oil seal change!

Top of the day to my lovely honda family... please I have an issue with my 2006 honda civic, it has confused both my mechanic and rewire but i haven't allowed them to do anything about it so as not to trigger more problems.

My car slips everytime it wants to change from any gear, most especially when I put more pressure on it. It now drives like a manual car.

My rewire did some checks and we noticed that light is not supplying to one of the gear solenoids. (He said it's the brain box that supplies the light so the brainbox is faulty). Out of four sockets that connects to the solenoids, a particular one doesn't have light..

I'm confused if I'm to agree with him to get a new brain box..

Hello all,

i drive a. 2k5 honda accord, ii αve a problem.

While i'm driving i notice dat after i slow down or wen i want ϯo re-accelerate sometimes, the engine vibrates (shakes) until i lift my foot off the throttle completely, bt wen i put my foot back on the throttle it moves normally.


i thought it was the spark plugs causing this, but i've changed the 4 plugs with new ones but it still does same.

a mechanic said it's probably from the fuel pump.

Any ideas wat it is

Good day OP please help!!

The under of my Accord 05 was always wet, so I went to change oil seal yesterday. Asides this, I was driving ok. Although it was smoking a little, not too noticeable.

After the mechanic was done changing the seal, there was a loud screeching sound coming from the alternator axis. After a while it stopped, the guy then said my engine was too high. He did some adjustments.

Now, the rpm is less than 1000, it's at 500. The car is vibrating and jerking as if it wants to stop. In fact on the way home, the car went off.

It is now smoking heavily!!! Thick black smoke coming out. The silencer area is now black with soot. I notice the exhaust is coming out with a lot of force now even when in P.

And worse, it guzzled the entire fuel. To illustrate, it took N2,000 fuel from Egbeda to Mangoro!!!

Good day Honda users. I'm using a 2008 Honda Accord for almost 2 years now and the car is burning oil despite using the recommended oil weight which is 5w-20. My question is this. Is there anyone here using the same car and having the same problem that has been able to solve this problem,if yes,then how? My other question is can I keep using the car like that and changing the oil at 3000miles when the maintenance light usually comes up?

Conner44:



If you have a check engine light illuminated on your dashboard then I believe it’s time you scanned that vehicle before throwing any more parts at it.

luvinhubby:

May have tampered with your throttle body.

Which of oil seals did he change?

CrownedPhoenix:


Thanks bro. The engine light had been on though it was because oil was low. I topped it and the light disappeared.

Stubborn82:


Egbeda to mangoro is how many kilometres? Is there hold up on the road?, 2k fuel is like 10ltrs and that should take you up to 80 kilometres or more depending

CrownedPhoenix:


Thanks bro. The seal on the engine, rather. The rubber lining that runs round the top of the engine. He changed it and applied gum.
Then he tweaked something that dropped the rpm to 500 because he said the engine was high. Do you think any of these issues is as a direct result of this?

What suggestions can you give in case he had tampered with the throttle body? Thanks man

Conner44:


That thing your mechanic tweaked was your throttle body. There are three ways he might have messed up it’s settings with his ‘tweak’

1. He opened up the rubber intake hose (engine air filter to throttle body) and jammed the little hole in there that supplies the iacv air with something

2. He has tampered with the ‘screw’ on your throttle body by adjusting it with a screwdriver (in which case you will need a multimeter to reset it)

You should go back to your mechanic and push him to tell you exactly what he did to your throttle body so you can know how to revert it or if to purchase a new one.

OR

3. He has damaged the wiring on your harness that runs from the iacv to your brainbox (an electrician has to check this one out)

CrownedPhoenix:


Wow

Yes, he adjusted the screw with a screwdriver.

Please what are the terms 'iacv' and the 'harness' called in local parlance?

Thanks a lot man, appreciate the time you put into this

Wizdeen:
Hi guys, i saw this Accord Dc 2006 V6 in excellent condition, Engine, tranny and AC superb, however the catalyst has been tempered with, how will this affect fuel consumption and performance? will it be worth it to purchase the car like this?

Thank you

Cc nurey HeavenlyBang buygala

Conner44:


Catalyst is strictly for emission’s purposes in those years of accords. Driving without a catalyst should not cause any issues for you so far that’s the only thing missing.

Conner44:


At the bolded statement above, When you say the coolant dries off in your radiator did you mean the radiator itself or its coolant overflow container?

As you’ve ruled out any possibility of an overheated engine I won’t query the integrity of your gaskets but If your radiator cap is bad and leaking you won’t observe any visible wetness around it because the coolant will immediately vaporize as soon as it leaves the container due to the intense heat in your engine. Same with if you have a tiny leak along one of the fins of your radiator itself.

Toylove:

The radiator itself sir
Are you suggesting I change the radiator cap first

Conner44:


Before you change anything you’re supposed to check the entire cooling system components individually.

The radiator itself or its cover could be faulty same as your pipes/hoses which might have also degraded at some points or have subtle leaks at one of its numerous clips/joints.

Do the easy things first. Check along the body of the various coolant hoses for cracks, the various clips/fasteners to see if they have sheared into the rubber pipes/hoses and if all those are fine then you can move your attention towards the radiator cap and the radiator itself.

WycliffeSMB:

Okay bro, but there is no Mobil Fuel station around me.
I went to the Spare parts market here and saw one for 14k, but how do I know it's the Original?
