Thanks for your response
Still working but the engine feels the load

Does your vehicle emit any color of smoke?
Have you scanned for codes?
What work was done before you noticed this symptom?

No smoke at all
Yes, it's showing misfire for cylinder 1 and 2
I got it that way as a Nigerian used. The inspector said it's something he could fix when I got it. Unfortunately it's going beyond.

If you swap coil/plug/injectors from cylinder 3 and 4, do the codes switch ?

No, still cylinder 1
The engine doesn't shake when coil 1 is removed like other cylinders

Replace engine and have peace of mind.
Engine has definitely been opened by previous owner.

Please, my 2006 Honda Civic currently shows a long-term fuel trim of -21. After resolving codes (P2185, P2413) by replacing the coolant temperature sensor and the EGR valve which I initially thought were the cause, the fuel trim has not improved. Additional information: the MAF sensor is reading around 4.2 4.6 g/s at idle with the gear in ‘P.’
Can replacing the air-flow sensor make any difference? There’s no check-engine light.


Pls help. This is so frustrating

What value does MAF read @ wide open throttle ?

What value does MAF read @ wide open throttle ?

I haven't checked at. Wide open trottle but am seeing like 12 g/s at 3000 rpm and between 4 and 5 at idle

Your maf is ok.
At what temperature does your Cooling fans turn on ?

the fine is direct.... bought like that from the previous owner. I understand that could slightly affect fuel economy but definitely not as high as this

It could be as high as that.
Your car should run @ 83-96 degrees w/wo AC.
Return the fans back to original set up and you'll notice an improvement in fuel trims.

To see a Nigerian used Civic without fuel management issue is hard.
Minimum you should get is 10km/L city drive.

Most mechanic/rewire and people around me are discouraging me about this. Saying I should manage it like that to avoid issue.. They don't even want to touch it,now I don't knw what to do right now or who to consult

remi4ever:
Thank you for your response. I made that comment a day after changing the engine.

Apparently there was a vacuum leak that made the rpm idle at 800+ after the engine was changed. So I had the hose connected properly.

Something tells me that the sounds is from the transmission. It is intermittent not all the time and it only happens when engine has warmed up.

Two mechanics have said that the gasket is metallic and it's somehow grinding Bla bla bla.. I cannot make sense out of it to be honest.

The second issue is, I still have this low rpm when engine is warm and brake is depressed. I have checked for vacuum leak on the brake booster and done a smoke test twice to detect vacuum leak but nothing.

With brake depressed rpm drops to about 650, which causes vibration but if I use the handbrake without the brakes, rpm is apprx 750.

Also, if I turn on the headlight, Wether brake is depressed or not rpm is stable at 750 because the engine is compensating for the extra load.

I have done a proper idle relearn procedure and I'm not sure what else to do.

Are either of you in Abuja?

Cc: Louiscars

I’m not in Abuja, but Mr Kingreign is, Is there any difference in the vehicles’s braking, I suspect you might be having a vacuum leak internally from the brake booster ( just an assumption) it’ll need physical inspection no doubt

Do you have a Honda OEM thermostat in situ?

My accord 2005 sometimes finds it hard to change gears cos it delays and revs high b4 selecting the next gear and other times it drives very smooth and picks well. What might be wrong please, any suggestions will be well taken. Also there is a scratching sound in the engine when it revs. I was told solution is to replace the whole engine. If there is anyone who has a contact person for engine sales in Lagos mainland or if I can get linked up with a good mechanic so I can get everything checked.

A friend bought his own for 1.2m this same time last year. I don't know the current price but just budget 1.5m. That engine used to be 500k two years ago, I wonder what happened.

Sir that your gear has come to its final stage of life. Anyway you can visit a gear specialist and have it scanned first to see if fixing the fiber or filter or other minor components would help improve the gear, but just know it doesn't come cheap because it will cost you at least 150k to bring down this gear and work on it. In my own opinion I would advise you to just get another gear if you can, since you have also been advised to change your engine, you can just muscle up and replace both of them. 1.1m should get you the engine and gear if you trade in the old ones you're removing.

Best of luck Sir.

My CRV 2014 is just 6 months old. Bought Tokunbor and had mechanics test it before buying.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be the best of buy. When I bought it, it had no dashboard light. After a few weeks, 3 lights came up, VSC, TPMS and Electronic sterring light, all at the same time.

Changed a lot of parts on both front and back legs because of noises. Also changed fuel pump.

Now, after doing some repairs on the hub, ABS light has come up and AWD light.

Ive used so many Hondas and haven't had this much issues. Im disappointed, and one of the reasons I bought the car was the lack of any fault lights on the dashboard.

My 2014 accord is 4 years old and has no dashboard light. Apart from servicing, changing kick, changing break pads, changing of one fan, the car drives like a dream.

Just yesterday, the CRV had a hesitation while climbing a hilly road, something never noticed before and it's really upsetting.

The car i replaced this with was a 2006 civic and was used for 6 years without many issues. Is the CRV just a bad car or I was unlucky not to get one in good condition.

Check the chassis for rust

It is a good car if well maintained (all fluids changed with recommended originals when due), the most popular issue with this model is the cold start rattle caused by the vct actuator, my brother has had this vehicle since 2019.
About the hesitation, drain and change your transmission fluid and see if something good happens, TPMS isn't really an issue, for the ABS have the car scanned to know what's up with that (could be as simple as disconnected speed sensors.

What has rust got to do with the various lights popping up?

Other lights like VSC, Electronic Sterring pops along with the TPMS all at the same time. It's weird. These lights hasn't affected the driving performance as I can tell.

Maintenance isn't an issue for me. I live for maintenance, I just feel the previous owner abroad wasnt a careful driver.

The car is in relative good shape, I'm just a picky person. I pick out any little fault. By and large, I expected more from a 6 month old car, costing so much money. I'll do my best to always put it in good shape, but I'll likely replace it much sooner than my other cars.

I intend to use my 4 year old 2014 accord for at least 8 years, the CRV will be gone in 3 years.

So sorry about your experience, since you worked on the hubs and then you noticed awd light turned on they should just confirm
- if the wheel speed sensor is plugged in correctly and not broken
- that they didn’t damage the hubs relict or while working on the hub
- lastly scan the car to actually know what wheel is having that issue

That is one place where luck comes in for any used vehicle, here or beyond, any abuse caused by the previous owner or owners is transferred to the next user, nothing can be done to be free of this, you just have to hope whatever issue the car has is manageable, vin report could be clean, it is still total luck. All the lights coming up AT ONCE could also just be pointing an electrical issue, the lights might not mean failure of sensors or parts, have a good mechanic look at it.

The car came with wheel covers and not alloy wheels. I changed to alloy wheels, though same size, I didn't go for bigger tyres. Im wondering if that is the cause of the TPMS sensor, Electronic Sterring light and VSC light coming up at once.

For the TPMS ISSUE, most likely the TPMS that can with on or more of the alloy wheels is faulty
Give the car to a proper alignment shop/ better still a standard workshop that can check which wheel has an issue, for the steering light and vsc, run a scan and revert back sir

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?
