The compressor is creating unnecessary drag and load on the engine and that would translate to higher fuel consumption

jceesquare:

As suggested, get the car scanned.
Check if your brakes are binding.
Check for low tyre pressures.
Inspect and clean your air filter.
Check if you have a manual AC compressor.
Finally inspect the tip of your exhaust, it will tell if your car is burning just petrol, or oil as well to know the state of the engine.

Good Morning peeps.

Please I’d like to ask and know the Reason why the rear differential/axle of an AWD Venza vibrates violently when the car turns at low speed.

Looks like the tires aren’t slowing down for each other when making turn.

Please help.

Good morning.

Honda Odyssey 07

1. Power doors don't open fully
2. D light blinks once in a while
3. Radiator fan connected directly, but when I turn on AC temp starts rising
4. Worn linkages
5. Scan code says no thermostat and 02 sensor.

Please, like how much will it cost me to fix these?
Are there any that can be done DIY to reduce cost?

Location is Lagos, ejigbo, ikotun and environs.

Any recommendations for a good Honda mech that won't kazeem the vehicle.

Thanks

Good morning.

Honda Odyssey 07

1. Power doors don't open fully
You can watch youtube videos but a panel beater should fix this less than 5k if the mechanism isnt the issue

2. D light blinks once in a while
if the D light blinks without driveability issues, you need to check the transmission fluid color and check the level, if dark you will have to replace it. stop driving the car for now to avoid transmission failure

3. Radiator fan connected directly, but when I turn on AC temp starts rising
you have to check your cooling system, thermostat, water pump, radiator itself and the cover, the reserve tank, fans, their blowing speed and direction each check will let you know what to do next

4. Worn linkages
replace linkages but for me suspension work accompanies many other things like absorber condition, sway bars, bushings etc.

5. Scan code says no thermostat and 02 sensor.
you can replace all this ones but switching that vehicle to factory will be expensive, when dollar official rate was #500 O2 sensors were selling @ 30k each and your car uses 3 as its a V6, maybe each one will be 50k currently

What is the reason for this light

Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by KINGreignn: 5:35pm On Feb 21

Shut down that engine immediately. Your car has an oil pressure warning lamp which can result in catastrophic engine damage should you continue driving it with that light on (assuming your oil pressure sensor is okay and the wire is connected to the sensor).

After fixing P0141 ( I changed the sensor and everything seems fine). After some days, P1172 came on and refused to go. My fuel is going angry

Also P2184 is still there with double cell radiator. (How it was bought from the owner)

So between p2184 and p1172 who they chop my fuel? Honda Accord DC.
Tanx!
did you fix the code p1272? I'm having rough Idling and rough driving. Code use to be p0134.
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by fineboynl(m): 1:42am On Feb 22
I need help.

Code use to be p0134 but now it shows p1172.

Car run rough and idling rough.

I don't know if I should change coil and or plug.

Problem started when I went for valve adjustment. They set rubbish as car started vibration. I scan that moment and got bank 2 running rich.

I went to a guy who told me to services the nossle and i bought new 6 plugs. He swap the front injector coils to the back. But the problem became worst and throw many codes. That P0134, p1172, misifing codes of cylinder 2,4.6. e.t.c.

Until I meet one guy who asked me what really happened. I explained to him I set the valve. He said he will reset the valves. When he reset the valves everything run fine except a split rough Idling or run rough. All code cleared except p0134 that keep coming back.

But today p1172 appeared.

P1172 is still there o. I have not had time to change the sensor. And it occasionally throws up P0134. I don tire for sensors. It gulps fuel too. Hopefully next week I will see to it.



I don't have rough idling and driving though.

I think you have a low RPM you throttle body needs to be clean.

Not necessarily true. Car could be starting from the 3rd gear and not from the 1st.
His best bet with this is running a live scan on his transmission to know what's going on with it real-time.

Good morning House.
My Camry door ajar indicator light is stuck at on though there's no door open. As a result of this, I can't lock the car with the remote. Because it will alert me that a door is open. Also, the dome lights too are not coming on. Has any one experienced this please?

Which year camry is this?

Your door jamb switch is either missing or defective. If this is the case, you can't lock your,car using the keyfob unless you fix it.

Thanks, I'll have my mechanic look at this. it's an 010....can this affect the dome lights too, front and rear? I just realized the boot light and my clock isn't working too. I'm not sure how all these are interconnected.

Start your diagnosis by checking all the fuse in the car.
Replace any blown fuse with the right one.
