Scanned my 2007 Honda Accord with Torque and got this error.....Still don't get what it means even after checking online.

P.S I just change the o2 sensor barely 2months ago

There could be multiple causes.

I would start by checking fuses and relays linked to the o2 sensor and I think the VVT/VTEC solenoid (Don't quote me on the solenoid, I am not sure. But I am sure about the o2 sensor) ?

If the fuses and relay are fine, I would check wiring and follow testing procedure in the workshop manual, and test connection between the sensor/solenoid connectors and the ECU . Its hard the first few times you do it, but trust me its very very rewarding, at least for me it was.

For me I discovered the under-dash relay port for the A/F sensor (Oxygen sensor) , one of the port where you plug the relay into had a broken terminal electrode . So I had to do some wiring manually (Please don't try this except you are sure you know what you are doing, you could fry something or worse set your car on fire- not trying to scare you, but its a fact) . You need to know how to use a multi-meter, its one of the most important tools for diagnosis. I am not saying this is the issue you are facing , but its possible.

You could also have a broken wire somewhere.

Its also possible the sensor is clogged with carbon deposit, you can remove it and use carb cleaner , or fuel (If you want to use fuel, its very very important you allow it dry for some hours, so you don't short-circuit the sensor internally)

If all fails , after proper wiring, fuse, relay testing and sensor/solenoid cleaning.. you could probably have a bad/failing sensor/solenoid.

Pls help me o. My eod, 2005 dey show me shege. It all starts while driving, the car suddenly went off, I tried restarting no way.

I scanned it and brought cam shaft position sensor code. I called rewire, he changed sensor and started the car. It worked for few minutes and off again and didn't come up.

Rewire suggested mechanic check camshaft and timing chain. Mechanic replaced timing chain and camshaft with adjuster. Car start buy it didn't sound smoothly and latter off after few seconds.

If the car goes off, it won't come up again. Since then , no solution. Pls help me ooooo

rewire have swap brain box, same thing. We used multiple sensors, no show.

Pls who knows a very good Honda mechanics in ibadan. It's frustrating me already

Sorry about this painful experience. But why not scan the car first to get a headway on what might be wrong, instead of throwing in parts based on guesses.

From the way the car stays on and goes off afterwards, a lot of issues can cause that engine behavior that's why you need to run a scan to point you in the right direction, so you don't end up messing up the engine badly

First, I want to say a big thank you to the creator of this forum. I’ve been looking for something like this for years—nice one!

I own my first Honda car, an LX Accord 2013, which I bought as a Nigerian-used vehicle in December 2022. I got it at a very good deal at the time, but deep down, I knew things don’t come that cheap. I was prepared for whatever issues came up! 😄

A week after purchase, the problems started. First, there was oil leakage from the engine, followed by the engine struggling to generate enough power to climb hills. Then, the check engine light and other warning lights popped up—my dashboard was like a Christmas tree! 😅 Upon inspection, the engine was opened up, and it was packed with oil sludge! There were so many issues: the oil pump was faulty, there were piston problems, and more. I decided to replace the engine entirely, and honestly, that was the best decision I made!

After that, I decided to upgrade the look of the car. I transformed it into a 2015 Honda Accord Touring model and replaced the seats with leather. I also installed four brand-new tires, replaced the vapor canister (to resolve the persistent check engine light), changed the spark plugs, brake pads, and steering rack.

To be honest, I didn’t do all the repairs and upgrades at once. It took me about four months to complete everything, costing around ₦1.5m to ₦1.7m in total. But mehn! I fell in love with the car! Money well spent!

Since April 2023, I haven’t had a single check engine light come on. I service the car religiously when the oil life percentage reaches 15%. Maintenance-wise, I always use full synthetic foreign engine oil. For coolant, I stick to the original Honda Long Life Coolant Type 2. I’m very cautious about what goes into the engine—engine don cost oo! 😅

Regarding fuel consumption, I always refill the tank when it gets to half. I’ve never let it go below that point—it’s easier and costs less that way. On average, I get around 170 to 190 miles from a full tank to half. It costs me about ₦35k to ₦40k to fill it up from half.

Currently, I’m planning to get a Honda CR-V EX-L 2018. 😁

Before I forget, a big shout-out to my mechanic, Alhaji Muri! He’s the most honest and respectful mechanic I’ve ever worked with. He’s especially good with electrical issues and has plenty of diagnostic tools to tackle any problem. Another shout-out to My Parts Nigeria, where I get my engine oil, filters, coolant, and other parts—they sell genuine products imported from the USA.

Slightly negotiable.

Thank you.

Have used it in a civic 07 for a test run.

Better than most TOKS ....

My car has been giving me nightmares for the last 3 days now. I drove it to church on Sunday, it was moving very well, no problem at all, the only code prior was the camshaft sensor code which I planned to change sometime next month when I go to the mainland, so after getting to church, parked and after service, I came to the car tried starting, it refused to start, noticed the battery went completely flat as there were no lights on the dashboard, so I decided to try another battery but it still didn't start up, it was cranking but never starts, it just cranks and the stops like something is holding the pulley back, so I just parked it in church and returned the next day with a mechanic who checked everything and said he couldn't find a problem, we called a rewire who checked and found no problem too, he checked the dashboard and discovered the key light wasn't going off, it kept blinking, he suggested we called key programmers and they came and did their thing, key blinking light went away, but still no start, until he decided to check the ECU and that was when he discovered that the AC water exit hose was blocked and was draining water into the ECU, wahala!

The brainbox was literally filled with water when it was removed, it was cleaned with clutch cleaner but it didn't work, so we got another ECU hoping it's gonna work, after programming and all, car still refused to start, rewire checked the coils and found one bad cool, we replaced it, started the car again and it still refused to start, checked all fuses, everything was working fine, at this point, I Don taya, it has actually never given me this level of problems before, it has never stopped me on the road, so this one is kinda strange, please does anyone have a suggestion?

It's an 06 accord.

I’ll suggest confirming if the check engine light comes on when the car is on ignition, and also confirm that the particular Ecu is compatible with yours via part number

Good afternoon to all the car Gurus here.

I drive a 2008 honda (evil spirit 2 doors) and the current issue is that the car is not moving well on a high terrain. It does the same while on reverse gear. When I try to forcefully accelerate, the engine will want to go off. My mechanic advised that I should change the gear and I did. Unfortunately, the problem still persists after the gear replacement.

What could be the problem my dear gurus in the house?

Hello Everyone, first time here.
Please my Honda city keeps shorting oil even when I've changed oil seal and PCV valve. Now I'm thinking of using a 5w40 oil next. Please I'd like to know what is the best oil to use?

I don't advise changing your oil type yet.

First scan to see if it throws any code because various issues causes engine oil shortage and majority of it is a sign of the final stage of engine life.

After solving the P2649 issue by changing the Rocker Arm Actuator, the check engine light went off.
Just after 2days, I realized the check engine come on again. On Scanning I got this......
Any idea?

p0134: you may need to change the 02 Sensor on your exhaust manifold, as the scan shows it's defecting no activity. First inspect around it to be sure there is no corossion or broken wires before changing it.

P0172/p0175: Your Air/Fuel sensor is giving this code. But I'll suggest you fix the 02 Sensor issue first then drive around for few days and scan again to be sure the 02 Sensor is not also the reason for these codes. I once experienced this code after my 02 Sensor also failed and it went away after changing the 02 Sensor.

P0128: check your ECT sensor to be sure it's in good condition.

P0430: be like say your motor no get catalysts oo. Have you confirmed there is a catalyst?

I hope all these helps to point you in the right direction.

Good. Luck

There's no check engine code or light and i don't see any blue smoke when revved. All i see for now is black smoke and i was advised to change my upstream o2 sensor..i change my oil every 3000km but as I'm typing this I'm on 2300km and i have used up 6 liters of oil. ☹️

Mehn.... I don't see how changing your 02 sensor relates to the oil burn issue because you're likely having both oil and too much fuel being burned during combustion, and a worn piston might be the major culprit here. Have a good engineer inspect the valve seals, PCV Valve, fuel injectors and your cylinder/cylinder walls. One of it might be the culprit here since you claim there is no code after your scan.

Like I said earlier, your engine might be at its final stage of life, just start saving up for a new engine at worst.

Please can you recommend any Mechanic/Electrician you know that can help with this?

Has anyone DIY fixed a ball joint of a 7th (2006) gen Honda Accord .?

I don't want to use the Nigerian mechanic method of slamming it with a hammer, it makes the ball joint fail prematurely

I am thinking of buying a C/G clamp, the regular ones used by carpenters/welders, I am unsure if it would have enough force to press it in ... The tool for pressing ball joints is quite expensive to buy. Or is there any service that rents such tool out ?

I would appreciate any pointers .

Thank you .

The C/G clamp if I remember correctly has just one side. What you need for the ball joint is two mouthed clamp.

I've once seen a locally constructed clamp for working on ball joint but I didn't ask where it was construed or gotten from. You can visit ladipo market if you're in Lagos, they sell some locally constructed tools for working on cars, you might be lucky to find one for ball joints.

I hope this helps

Thank you sir
