Good evening,

I drive a Honda Accord 2007 (DC). I was driving listening to the radio and all of a sudden, the radio screen just went blank, prompting the radio to stop and also there was no power to the accessory power sockets (both of them).

Please what specifically could be wrong?

You fan is still connected directly.. So issue might not show yet..
I also bought a naija used car, reinstalled the thermostat & reverted cooling fans back to factory setting without any issues.. So you might be lucky like me grin

Hello Bro, could you please link me to the technician who assisted you in reverting the cooling system? I'd like some remedial work on my cooling system. Thanks.

for the P0101, Check mass airflow sensor (MAF sensor) condition and its wiring

For the P0113 Check intake air Temperature sensor and wiring.

These can cause high fuel consumption

If yours is a high mileage car, there is a chance it might have been repaired

It is an inherent design flaw of that engine.

Pls I jus got a Corolla 2004, the lady I got it from has been servicing with Mobil 20w50 and using water instead of coolant. Pls is it ok for me to continue with the oil? As for coolant, I intend to start using one, which one should I buy? And should I add it to the water in the radiator?or I have to drain all the water first?

Hello Guru pls help me out. i have a problem with my 02 volvo s60. When I have full tank the car drives perfectly,but as soon as it drops to 50liters the car will loose a considerable amount of power,i already changed the fuel filter and yet. I scanned the car and got these codes:p0238 -turbocharger/supercharger boost sensor A' circuit high.
P0808_clutch position sensor circuit high.
P0030_heater control circuit bank 1 sensor 1
P0016_crankshaft position-camshaft position correlation bank 1 sensor A.

What could I possibly be looking at sir?
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by RealDannie(m): 9:26am On Sep 02, 2019

sorry for the predicament. I think the best way to start is to get the vehicle scanned for codes, and you post the code here.

Morning,

the codes are P0420 and P0142

there is a possibility the cylinder head is warped, hence you may be loosing pressure.

you may need to perform pressure test on all cylinders, or in the worst case change engine.
