Honda Accord 2005 Frequently Shorting Engine Oil & Coolant, Smoking And Jerking by rosco191(op): 7:52pm On Nov 14, 2015
Pls I need help urgently from a professional.
I am experiencing frequent engine oil shortage and my radiator coolant goes down every day, in fact I have top it up daily before driving while I top the oil twice weekly.
The engine doesn't smoke while driving but I recently noticed it smoking (dark smoke) when I Rev it and it try to Jerk and stutter when I am on speed or idle run.
When I took it to the mechanic we discovered one of the injector nozzle wasn't working he tried to swab it and found out that the nozzle that wasn't working worked in another position so he checked the plug and discovered that the plugs were soaked with carbon we changed the 4 plugs and the engine ran normal but one week later the new plugs were completely covered with carbon again thus causing the same problem of engine Jerking and misfiring.
The mechanic told me that the Rings are gone and I need to re-ring the engine but I am skeptical about ringing it as I am not sure how long it will last me before smoking again.
I am considering buying a tokumbo/belgium engine but the fund is not readily available.
Please advice me on the best option to go.

V6 or 4cyl? Did you run a scan? If no, you should.

Its a 4.2L engine (4 Cylinder)

I did run a scan and was advised to change my TPS and replace the Thermostat, aslso need to fix my check engine light which is not working at the moment.

It can't be 4.2L but a 2.4L. Anything that makes Honda of this model to short oil is very strong. You may need a new engine.

There's nothing like 4.2L engine 4 cylinder, unless you are telling us Accord 2005 now has V8 engine under the hood; which is very very impossible. I mean possibility is less than minus zero percent (-0%). However, with your explanation, you will definitely require a new engine, do no waste your money on re-rings cause it doesn't in anyway guarantee engine stability and performance.
Good luck.
