@Gazzuzz et al please can you guys enlightened me on what it means for a car to be 2.3litres engine.
M honda accord 1998 i4 is 2.3ltrs so I want to know what it means. Thanks

ukata16:
Thanks boss for the reply and link. Truthfully I didn't realy understand the many terminologies been used to explain it.
Thanks all the same

ukata16:
I did boss but it's not too clear

GAZZUZZ:
at the down stroke of all 4cylinders, if you filled them up with liquid, it would take 2.3liters to fill up all your cylinders

Toyota Camry 1997 aka pencil light.
I4 engine.

Please I've got two separate Issues.

1. I took my 1997 toyota camry for a Scan and got these two error codes.

P0340 & P0500

How can I resolve these issues?

Secondly

I took the car to a Mechanic who fixed the AC by welding some part of the condenser that was leaking... Then the AC worked fine for two days. Third day when I was driving with the AC on, my temp gauge went up, when I turned off the AC it went down. Not sure what happened. After that I noticed the AC button light was blinking. then it stops. Now no blinking lights, but AC no longer cools for reasons best known to it
Mechanic certified the Compressor to be okay. Even now, if you turn on the AC you can hear the engine sound change slightly but still no cool air.

Then if you really have any Mech you can recommend in PH, I would be very grateful. beginning to get real drained by the rate of incompetence in Port Harcourt here.

Please i have a 1997 US Honda accord.

it keeps bringing out white smoke from the exhaust, and the engine oil is always short. when i check the engine there is always engine oil all around. The mechanic says i need to ring the engine, please is this a good idea. Also, the car vibrates when in a stop position like in traffic.

Hello Tech Gurus,

I'm typing this due to desperation and frustration. My car which is a 2001 3.0L Honda Accord V6 has been guzzling fuel like no man's business. Prior to this, I was getting 270 miles to a full tank which was quite far from the fuel economy I should have been getting. This became worse 2weeks ago when my Check Engine Light started blinking, my fuel economy degraded to 150 miles to a full tank (64 litres)

The car was scanned and discovered misfire in all 6 cylinders. The plugs and coil were changed as well the Throttle Position Sensor. The nozzles were also serviced and the movement of the car which was sluggish returned to normal.

All codes were cleared before I took the car out of the workshop. 2 days later, the Check Engine light started blinking again with the fuel consumption even becoming worse. I now do about 120 miles to a full tank which makes me buy fuel almost on a daily basis. The car is my major source of transportation as I usually resume work very early in the morning when I'm running morning shifts and close very late when running the evening.

I'm open to all forms of advice as that of my mechanic hasn't helped one bit.

Cheers

GAZZUZZ:
location? Lagos?

Inception:
Codes 1 to 6 supports my claim.(misfiring on all cylinders)

Code 7 is a transmission issue(shift control system malfunction).This code is actually a pointer to a another transmission issue. I would suggest you service your transmission (drain/refill) using ONLY honda DW1 atf(quite pricey though), and keep your fingers crossed.

Code 8 indicates you have a bad air/fuel ratio sensor(bank 1) and would definitely contribute to your fuel consumption issue . pricey to replace too.

Lagos .
