You Engine lean bank may be low, or engine misfire.. Its usually one of the two.. Examine your plugs, and make sure they are placed in the right order. Most mechanics know how to loose but fixing likewise is usually an issu Hie. if it hesitates before accelerating..then its obviously your plugs or components that works in connection with it. When last did you service your nozzles/injector/plugs.. I think that should solve your issues.. Trying opting for Mobile 1 (eco green) oil also. It might be expensive but there is a reason it is... Its either the money goes for logivity of your engine or goes to the mechanics..

Wow

Please I need a solution to this problem, my Honda baby boy doesn't steem fine in the morning. I took it to my mechanic he told me we need to change the 6 plugs which I did and the problem is still there. Nw his saying I will need to service my nozzle but I don't know if that will be the solution. After the engine gets hot it steems very fine

It is not a serious issue.

Perhaps you have low battery..

Do you use a car charger when your engine is switched off ? Just one reason.

Could be anything.

Hi Kellystech,

Are you based in Abuja. If yes, you may want to try these guys out - fuelfox.com.ng

I bought a 2009 camry from a nairalander some few months back. The car had some issues the way it would drive especially when it was at between 60-80km/h. The engine check light would come on periodically and also disappear on its own. Worst of all, my fuel pin always preferred to move so fast to empty position no matter how much fuel i bought. I changed the plugs, checked the "indomie" - local parlance for catalytic converter, used high grade oil (N13,000 per gallon), had a technician use his scanner to clear the fault codes and subsequently remove engine check light. Result was still same.

Luckily, I one-day hitched an Uber ride with exactly the same spec of my car and couldn't help but notice the extra smooth and silent drive from Maitama to the Airport. The driver was nice enough to link me to them after i asked him about the car, who maintains it for him and why the car was driving so excellently. I couldn't but notice that his fuel pin remain on the 1/4 tank scale all through the drive to the airport. ( My car would never have done that). He then tell me about how he met the company and their German technician one-day at the Garki Carwash in Abuja working on some cars.

I booked an appointment and visited them. They used some simple looking equipment to clean out the injection system, fuel tank after showing me my car poor performance statistics in terms of fuel consumption, fuel pump performance. The car stuttered for a few hours after the operation which they said was normal because of the release and evacuation of carbon and sludge that had built up in the walls, valves and combustion chambers of the engine.

They say their system improves the efficiency of the catalytic converter when it come to fuel and air combustion ratio which ultimately ensures that your car does not over-burn or under-burn fuel, both situations which are not good for your vehicle overall performance and long-term health. They actually said the procedure is a simple and common procedure in Europe when cars go in for major repairs and need to pass high emission testings to be allowed on the road. Once cars find their way to Nigeria, its is never done again. all we now do is rely on those cheap chemicals they sell at filling stations to help which in no way fully solves fuel combustion problems most vehicles suffer due to low quality fuel we all buy( in fact most fuel we buy has highly volume of lead content, when most cars require unleaded fuel to operate)

After that episode, my car's performance has tremendously improved. I took my car one day to my regular mechanic to change my ball bearings and he didn't even realise the car engine was on when he entered to test the fault before repairs. The car drives so so smoothly and the engine check light has not come on since then. You can call them on 08098880719 or check them out at www.fuelfox.com.ng

Thanks

What do you mean by steem?

If you mean it doesn't idle fine when you cold start, then you likely have a nozzle problem.

Yes, service the nozzles. The fuel filter, and there's a link that supplies fuel to the injector. It should be unscrewed and cleaned with injector cleaner. Similar thing happened to my Honda and I did everything including changing of plugs and plug cables but the problem continued until an experienced mechanic came and did the above mentioned things. I think what causes it is bad fuel.

1. Are ur plugs clean/brown or are they black? If black, then clean ur nozzle.
2. If car backfires, replace your fuel filter ASAP.
3. Is ur exhaust quiet enough? Good exhaust Pannel beaters can help you check for leakages. ALSO, ASK UR PANNEL BEATER TO CHECK IF UR INDOMIE IS STILL THERE. One mechanic took my ride to his workshop for minor repairs. By time he brought it back, exhaust sounded louder. Found out that he stole d indomie and replaced with wire netting.
4. Also, ur air filter could be clogged. Check first. Then, get it cleaned up.. or replaced.
5. Your Oxygen sensor too should be in good shape..
Your engine needs Total Internal Combustion to steam and perform optimally. With 10Litres of fuel, u should ride 100km within d city and more when travelling or on express.
Tell us how it goes.. Best Wishes.

people are throwing in all sorts of spanners

there is one thing clear the car has a problem start in the morning (Cold Start)

to me that points to sensors or poor earth or connection

a good investigation is needed

GAZZUZZ:


a scanner is a useful tool in diagnosis, but work can still be done without a scanner. A simple cylinder drop test can pinpoint the misfire issue and isolate it to either low compression, sparkplugs, coils or injector issues.

Please can you assist in diagnosing what is wrong with my 2000 Honda Babyboy with manual tranny. It idles very high with the needle above 2 instead of 1 and after about 7 to 8 minutes it starts rough idling with the RPM going up and down. The car drives well but the rough idling continues when I engage the clutch, and jerks when I take my foot off the accelerator or engage the brakes.
I took it to my mechanic who said it's a sensor problem. He took apart a lot of things and cleaned them with Carburetor cleaner, but the problem still persists. What could possibly be wrong with the car? Thanks for your assistance.

A simples scan would go along way to solving issues as easy as this. Scan and post codes.

Idle speed fluctuating is a classic sign of vacuum leak, google how to find it
Re: Help My Car Doesn't Steem Fine In The Morning by unclemaths(m): 8:39pm On Nov 06, 2016
@Saicology212: Please, let us know if the rough idle comes up ONLY when engine is cold? Or also with a warm engine?

The rough idling starts when the engine is warm.

@Saicology212: Hi.. This is definitely a vacuum leak. And ur attempted solution not only caused the problem, but is worsening it as a consequence of "more of the same" remedy. Not ur fault though.
Now, CARBURETOR CLEANERS are very dangerous if wrongly used. True, they solve one problem but then create others.
When you take ur car for service, you probably asked the Mech to clean ur injector. Instead of carefully removing these and manually clean them up, some mechanics will just spray CARBURETOR CLEANERS thru the hoses in the PGM-F1. This would clean ur NOZZLES like 25%... and create leaks in the PGM-F1 housing.
SOLUTION:
1. Clean up the GOVERNOR
2. Remove the top cover of ur PGM-F1, cut out a smooth "washer" from a thick paper, apply black gum to both surfaces of the washer and screw back the PGM-F1.
Pls, insist on these steps. I hope ur Mech is not an "ITK"

Thanks, bro. Really appreciate. You really got it smack down on the money. I had a lot of dirt in the fuel tank, and most often forget to top up until it gets really low. The dirt would then accumulate and clog the injector nozzles and rail.
Now my regular mech. is one real meticulous dude; he really takes his time and is never in a hurry to fix any job. Sadly, the recession forced him to relocate to another part of the country.
I have not been able to find another competent hand so it's the regular fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants folks I have to deal with. But, I'll ask around for a competent mech and explain your recommendation to him.
Once again, thanks for the response. I really, really, appreciate this. Muchas Gracias. Obrigado.
