Hi Benagro, it's common for the belt tensioner to be a source of noise in that model. Since you've already replaced the adjuster, here are a few other things to check:

1. **The belt itself:** A worn or frayed belt can cause noise.
2. **The tensioner pulley:** The pulley itself can wear out and cause noise.
3. **Other pulleys:** Check the other pulleys in the belt system (alternator, power steering, etc.) for any signs of wear or damage.
4. **Alignment:** Make sure all the pulleys are properly aligned.

It would be best to have a mechanic take a look to pinpoint the exact source of the noise. I hope this helps!

if you can do 3.3 I have one for you but the paint is fading ooo everything else works perfectly

Hi tpain121, Macmilla has a good point. It's possible the replacement TPS is also faulty, or there's a wiring issue. Here are a few more things to consider:

1. **Throttle Body:** A dirty or faulty throttle body can also cause TPS-related codes.
2. **ECU:** In rare cases, the ECU itself might be the problem.
3. **Wiring Harness:** Check the entire wiring harness for any signs of damage or corrosion, not just the area around the sensor.

Since you're in Lagos, I'd recommend taking it to a reputable mechanic who has experience with Honda vehicles. They'll have the right diagnostic tools to figure out the exact problem. I hope you get it sorted out soon!

why don't you quote the person you wanna respond to?

I use a 2005 Honda Civic, anytime I put on the AC I feel vibration on the steering and throttle pedal thereby making it difficult to use on bad road. What could be the problem?

reverendfather:
For the past one week, My Honda Accord has been doing hard starting, especially in the mornings and whenever it is parked for more than 5 minutes. The issue began after I replaced the speed sensors. During scanning, the car showed a misfire, so the mechanic worked on the injectors and installed brand new NGK spark plugs. The car started immediately afterward, was test-driven, and all warning lights (check engine, brake, VSA, ABS) cleared.

I drove home without problems, but the next morning it refused to start. The engine kept cranking and the green key light kept on blinking as if it did not recognize my key. It eventually started after several attempts and idled normally. Later that day at work, the same thing happened again. After the second crank, the check engine light came on. My scanner showed codes P060A and P1659, both pointing to ECU issues.

I researched and found out that other Accord 2008 - 2012 owners encountered similar problems as soon as they changed their sparkplugs, some went ahead to replace their ECU but the fault persisted.
They suggested changing sparkplugs, I did that this evening - problem still on, another suggested getting a new battery, I did that too still no fix. One suggested getting back my old plugs, but we can't find the old plugs anymore

My mechanic is yet to suggest anything at the moment so I don't waste money anyhow.

I just dey regret bothering myself with fixing the vsa and the misfiring ever since. The hard start has embarrassed me on multiple occasions within the space of one week

Check your engine seats

I need a Honda expert to inspect a 2015 Honda Civic. The seller claims it entered 4 years ago and mostly parked but routinely serviced.

Hello all,

I’m seeking a reliable automotive electrical engineer in Lagos to diagnose and fix the ongoing fuel consumption and power loss issues in my car.

I’ve tried many mechanics and electricians, but most don’t understand the problem. No disrespect, but my experience has been frustrating — many rely on guesswork, delegate work to apprentices, or rush jobs without proper diagnostics. This issue requires coordinated live data readings and interpretation, rather than trial and error.

---

Vehicle Details:

- Car: 2013 Honda Accord
- Engine: 2.4L 4-cylinder i-VTEC (K24)
- Location: Ikeja, Lagos

The Problem:

- Extremely poor fuel economy: Between 7–11 MPG (3–4.5 km/l), even after repairs.
- Loss of performance: The car drives okay for the first few minutes, then the power drops, and the throttle feels hard to press
- No current CEL (Check Engine Light): I’ve resolved the previous P0420 by replacing the cat with an OEM Tokunbo
- All basic sensors and components have been replaced

---

Replaced Components So Far:

- MAF Sensor
- Upstream & Downstream O2 Sensors
- Catalytic Converter (OEM Tokunbo)
- Fuel Pump & Fuel Rail
- High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP)
- Purge Valve
- Cleaned throttle body
- Checked for vacuum leaks
- Reset adaptations

Despite all this, the issue persists. I’m convinced it’s one or two remaining faults, likely electrical or ECU-related, but I need someone who truly understands data stream diagnostics, electrical signals, and real-time performance analysis — not someone who just reads OBD codes. Could the exhaust system (muffler) be blocked, causing the car to choke? Could it be the ECU malfunctioning? Whatever it is, I'd rather use a verified diagnosis to figure it out. I scanned, and there are no DTCs.

I’m exhausted and almost considering selling the car because of this.

---

What I Need:

- A real electrical engineer, not a guess-based mechanic
- Someone with access to advanced diagnostics (OBD, live stream, volt/amp checks)
- Preferably with Honda experience
- Lagos-based.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. I'd also answer any questions you have for me regarding the car. Thanks!

ManAdii:
How can I get engine and transmission mounts?

RockyEyo:
Good morning please can I see pictures sir....

ManAdii:
Do you have a scanner that reads live data?
Have you checked you fuel pump pressure?

I have a feeling that the Tokunbo CAT you installed can even be the culprit. Make the exhaust is blocked.

Another stupid thing can be a faulty EGR if your car has one. If it's stuck in an open position it can cause your engine to loose power along with your other symptoms.

Also check your Air Bypass Assist Valve if they are closing correctly.

Most importantly, I hope your spark plugs alongside your injectors are okay.

Like I said initially. A live data stream with OBD will give you as much information you desire.

accelion:
Thanks for the response. Sometimes, pinpointing the exact issues with cars is just hard, no matter what, especially when they don't throw any DTC. I have run a live data stream before, but I will investigate the EGR, as you suggested, to see how it progresses. If only I could find a professional who understands these things and can walk with me. Are you one?

kingreign:
Your location, year and model of honda matters.

ManAdii:
2004 Acura TSX. I don't mind the location as I can do a waybill from a reliable seller.

ManAdii:
I may not be one. I'm just a DIY enthusiast. I always love getting things fixed myself.

accelion:
Where are you located, please?

kingreign:
DM pictures of the engine bay I'd take it up tomorrow or Monday if it's okay by you.
