MAF, plugs or O2 sensors. Clean MAF with MAF cleaner, replace plugs if worn, monitor O2 sensors and if any is lazy, replace it .

Please house help me answer o. So I just changed my transmission on a Honda Civic. They brought the car today.

The transmission is perfect but I hear a funny sound from the engine and when I took it for a test drive and put the AC it looked like the engine was lagging.

My mechanic is saying the reason is because my transmission is new and the sensors need time to adapt (Whatever that means). He said I should give it a week and give a report next week. Alternatively he saying I might need to change the engine over time (No money ooo).

Please what do you guys think?

Take it elsewhere. There is no "adaptation". They messed something up

Good Morning Bosses,

I have a budget of N1m to buy a car.

Don’t know which I should buy: Corola, Camry, Accord or Civic?

Which would you recommend in terms of reliability, efficiency, fuel management and maintenance?

Thank you.

Buy: Corolla if where you are staying is safe.. Very good car. Very reliable but na thief magnet.. Your 1m MIGHT get you a Nigerian used Corolla

Civic: very good car.. Same level fuel economy with the Corolla.. But na Honda so you have to obey the maintenance.. E no like abuse. 800-1m would get you a perfect working Nigerian used.

Camry.. you can get a used 03-05.. Very rugged and strong but no as fuel economical as the corolla.. Camry dey collect abuse..

Accord: sweet car.. your 1m would get you a clean DC.. it's has more luxury than the big daddy.. Sweet to drive, better stereo, AC na ice but na Honda.. Maintenance is the KEY.. Maintain well and you would never have any issues.

But if you are a 1st time car buyer.. abeg save money buy Corolla..Get a tracker and do comprehensive insurance because the car no go kill your pocket but na thief magnet

Mileage says 105,000 it's a Honda Civic EX 2003

The issue now is that yesterday when driving home in traffic, the transmission was on Drive, I was pressing down the accelerator and it wasn't moving. I had to pack by the road side and allow the engine cool for 20 mins and it was a smooth ride home. Same thing happened this morning.

I haff tire for the car. I want to change it next year but till then I just need it to work.

Please i still need help with my AC.

it still works at random. and works just fine when it works


When it stops working apparently the diagnosis is: the compressor is not getting power, but the relay and fuses are ok.

Went to change the AC switch panel on the dash and the guy was honest enough to tell me he didn't think there's anything wrong with the one i have there at the moment

he then removed the relay and stuck a wire into the slots, and the compressor starts. he said the Relay is fine which is really confusing......




also watched another stick a long screwdriver down to push the AC Clutch and it started. that one said the AC clutch needs to be 'serviced' whatever that means. Doesn't add up for me because like i said the system does work fine when it works.....



I just need to know precisely what needs to be fixed. Thus far no one seems to be sure. Haven't let anyone touch anything though. Not a big fan of guesswork.

If your RPM is very low the compressor will not pick up,clean your injector system.
If the same fault persists look for a good technician that has a scanning machine to scan the AC system

change the AC clutch .It is losing already it magnetism which account for it working intermittently.
To confirm this ,do this check when the AC compressor is down(with the AC switch On)
Remove the compressor input power feed connector and confirm if it still carrying 12v even when the compressor is not working and if so then my claim is right .
