Replace the ball joints and shafts with genuine ones and inspect while having your oil changed or monthly if you drive through terrible roads and can't pickup suspension noises.

Pls house, help me. My honda accord 2005 idle speed is unstable at idle. But once I detach the cold coolant temperature sensor ( cold start ), the idle speed will balance.

Rewire insisted it's the throttle body, we changed it, nothing. He said most throttle body are bad or have been worked on. Until we get a good one. But I said it should be the cold start. Since the fault goes off once I detached it.


We replaced cold start but same issue. I'm very confused.
Codes are p2185, p0122, p0141 , p0118
I'd check the connection to the TPS if I were him.
Remote diagnosis would be difficult as you'd need to address each codes individually.
Feel free to reach out to me on 07089030689 for tips on what to look out for and or fix.

Good morning everyone, my friends 07 accord jerks when entering gear 2. This usually happens when the car is cold but when driven for sometime and fully warmed up, there is no jerk when changing gears. The level/impact of jerk is dependent on the acceleration speed.

He has scanned the transmission several times but there is no error code.
Also, when slowing down, you feel a slight jerk, like changing from gear 2 to gear 1.

Transmission has been serviced with original Honda DW1 tranny oil, solenoids have also been washed even though there is no error code.
Kindly assist to know what the issue is.

Internal issues.

The transmission is wearing out gradually. He can drive it like that for another one year, and it can as well get worse very very fast.

Bottom line, he must start saving up to get a new transmission in the near future. No amount of oil change will fix it.

I initially thought that if i change the filter on the tranny, it could salvage the situation.

Try cleaning the solenoid. Start with the one attached to the transmission and then to the ones inside. Job is not for the faint of heart and will be as a last resort

He summary concluded it's the ball joint thingy and told me to change it for peace of mind etc.

Now he billing me 50k + and I just wanted to ask if that should be the correct bill.

He is my egbon, but has a knack for inflating price for me small. He say I resemble yahoo.

Hmmm... That's very outrageous. I recently got a Taiwan ball joint for 25k. Other Chinese brands and tokunbo even costs less. So I don't know how he's billing you 50k for ball joint.

Since you know he has a knack for inflating prices for you and also profiled you to ba a Yahoo boy, how are you sure you can trust his services enough to be honest with his dealing and he's not in any way doing half works so you can always come back to his shop for repairs.

Think about it Sir, this is enough ground for me to break ties with such a mechanic.

2008 model is more reliable than 07 and 09.
Maintainance pattern should be as usual, service car when due, make use of computer to scan vehicle when there are issues to know what's wrong and be sure you're using a reliable mechanic/parts when it comes to part replacements...

You think it's everybody that put sloop ball joints, I'm sure you have never ever priced DORMAN, DELPHI, CENTRIC or ACDELCO ball joints for accord!

Hello Guru's in the house.
Please I need your help on my 07 Accord.
My DRL light (American Spec light as we popularly call it) is not working.
The fuse is ok and the bulbs are working fine.
I scanned and got the error code B1079.

Anyone with idea on how to get this fixed?

I was driving out of my residence and all of a sudden, the car started jerking and would not accelerate.
Parked it in a safe place, scanned it and the code P1659 came out. I located the faulty relay and replaced it with 500 Naira.

Most of the people around were already talking plenty... engine mount, this and that.
If you can afford to buy a car, try and get a diagnostic device.

I am using Konnwei KW808. Although its not able to scan the transmission and many modules are missing (O2 monitoring etc.), it still does the basic.
If there is a recommendation on a better one, will take it
Nigerians don't really care about their cars. We just want it to move from point A to point B. We don't go to the mechanic when a check engine pops up. We only go when the care stops moving. 90% of cars on Nigerian roads have the check engine light on. In fact, if you go to a technician for the only reason that your check light came on, some technicians will think you are stupid.
I have a basic scanner in my car and I don't joke with the check engine light. I basically stop by the road just to scan if it comes up. It has saved me a ton of headaches. And it cost me less than 5k to buy.
If you love your car, don't joke with the check engine light. How else will the car alert you at the earliest sign of problem?

I went to computer. They said it's ok. I also went to where they use mirror. They also sekd it's ok. What do you think of that ball joint. Should I change it.
Wheel balancing is different from wheel alignment. Which one did you do?
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Macmilla(m): 7:23am On Aug 24, 2024
fineboynl:
bro. Today I tried to check the shaft bearing. While disassembling it one of the ball joint rod turns with nut. And we had to remove the full hub To get this the shaft. The bearings are ok. We just added more grease.

Then the wheel hub we service with more grease and change the seal.

The car still vibrates. I'm already tired.

What do you think of the ball joints rod that turn with the nut? Doesn't that mean it's already damaged?

Can the back leg cause vibration?
What do you mean by "ball joint rod"?
Bros, fix every abnormality your find, even the tiniest one. It could be your problem. You don't need to get our approval before you fix something wrong on your car. Anything can cause vibration in a car, even the thing you least expect.
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Macmilla(m): 7:27am On Aug 24, 2024
jceesquare:
The ball joint turning with the wheel is an indicator that it has not tightened well enough.
Add pressure to the back of the ball joint then tighten it properly.
Please do not add pressure to the back of any ball joint. If your ball joint has excessive free play, REPLACE IT. Pressing the head of the ball joint to make it right is a recipe for disaster. Even if it looks like it worked, you will face a bigger problem in less than a month.
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Macmilla(m): 7:29am On Aug 24, 2024
fineboynl:
the ball joint rod is turning inside the ball joint not from the body. I have never seen such kind of thing before.

Tomorrow I will be removing it. It's the reason the car make clunky noise from the tire when it enters gallop.
And you still left it in place? Tomorrow if your tire pulls out, you will start shouting that Honda tire likes to pull out. You will not remember that you like to be silly.

Good morning guys.

From inception, my fuel Guage don't work until I have a half tank or I buy fuel of about 30k the it will work, then go down again.

I use like that, but I'm not comfortable driving without knowing what level of fuel I got.

Then my EOD 2004 stopped on the road and Meka said change fuel pump.

Now my question. I've asked and they said 25k for the total package. Will the fuel Guage work if I change the whole set up.??

Mind you, another rewire told me it could be the wiring... I don't want to spend 25k this morning and fuel Guage not reading ooo.

Will it work perfect rly if I change the whole set up, or change only fuel pump and manage my thing like that.
If you want peace of mind, change the whole unit.
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Macmilla(m): 7:36am On Aug 24, 2024

List of what we did today.

Change the ball joint. That chunky sound on bad road has stop.

We check the shaft cups everything ok.
We check the bearings everything ok.
Hub bearing everything ok.

The only thing that was left was the disk. Because of confusion I bought toks disk.

The problem still persist.

Someone suggested I increase the engine that the engine is low and not powering it well.

Engine rev at idle 600-650 when fully warm.

The problem is that I think gear 2 at between 2000 rmp. It vibrates and more obvious when climbing high at low speed (2000 rmp)
Check your car manual. I think idle should be between 750 and 850.
I think 600 is low, but I might be wrong. But I doubt if it's the cause of your problem.

If you are using a generator in your house, is there anything you will plug in the socket in your house that will make your generator stop using much fuel?
