You possibly didn't understand my comment before you replied.

I've only stated the obvious - Honda Accord are the most reported "wahalacious" brand of Honda.

By this, I've not said all Honda brands are notoriously problematic neither have established that other brands of automobile do not have their issues.

Just so you know, a Honda lover even ahead of Toyota but the Accord spec seem to be for the heavy-hearted.

Best regards!

The comments across the thread show there are too many issues with Honda Accord.

Zero my mind on getting it and best wishes to users.

This thing happened to me. In my case, a thief tried his luck with a master key of sort or screwdriver. He was unsuccessful but ended up messing the key cylinder. My key didn't enter too.

I was able to get into the car through the trunk since the trunk has a key hole.

Dpiano:

So how did you fix it backcus I'm still yet to fix mine

Good day house, please I want to know the cost of Honda pilot 2008 engine (engine only). I'm advised to change the engine due to persistent oil shortage which have defied all solutions. Thanks

Hi guys, my EOD 2004 pulled yesterday, have fixed it though. However, the mechanic is saying the rack is leaking. He advises I buy another. House biko, what is the cost of steering rack? Thank you in anticipation. @Luvinhubby.

Mechanics call it raising sensor while is name is VTEC spool valve assembly. Its a common issue. It causes limb mode (engine speed limited to under 3000rpm). It is located behind the top cylinder to the left of the exhaust manifold.

The issue is not a straight forward one that i can give you a solution. There are 2 electrical connectors, one for oil switch (right) and the other to the solenoid (left). The one for the solenoid is the affected one. Try to make sure there is good connection or the wire is not cut as the first solution attempt. If it doesn't work, a mechanic needs to remove the assembly, inspect the spool filter for dirt and wash the spool with fuel. Reinstall and try again, if it doesnt work, replace. Make sure the spool gasket isn't dry, that place is notorious for leakage due to high pressure engine oil.

Good evening ,I just got an accord, imran a scan and found this code in its memory. Mine revs past 3000 rpm but when you accelerate hard you feel something is missing the car drives well but I think it can be better I've wiped the code now and I haven't been able to really drive it due to lockdown.
I also have the fault code P0341.
Please any advice or assistance you can offer me will be greatly appreciated.i was already contemplating cleaning the spool you mentioned as I've read it else where ,I I went to autonedics and also worked at a mechanic garage for a couple of years so I tend to fix all issues myself.
Also car has been in the country for less than a year but the person I got it from has started using mineral oil. I want to know if I can switch back to synthetic oil .

adanny01:


Yes a P0341 would cause loss of power so you are not getting full power. Honda will usually go into limp mode (3000rpm) for critical fault codes and will cause loss of power for non critical faults. Codes like P0420 will not cause anything.

Your current fault code relates to the intake Cam shaft. Its either the timing has jumped (unlikely) or the chain has a slack or the sensor or its wiring is bad.

You can start by checking connector plug of the sensor and its wiring. Remove the plug and refit it. Clear the code and if it returns then check timing by setting the top dead center and also checking the chain for slack. If all correct then find a replacement sensor.

Since you are on mineral oil now, if there is no shortage, you can try the synthetic. If there is shortage or leakage, you then revert but if non, you can continue.

The issue with so many Honda steering racks is a simple one but the solution most mechanics are either not aware or incapable of dealing with it.

The leakage is because most of the seals are bad but these seals should be available but no, you won't find them on the shelves of our spare part dealers for reasons i dont know.

AliExpress has it if you can get a reliable mechanic to do the job.

otabuko:
I'm back again oh! I woke this morning to do the normal routine before leaving, I observed my hydraulic tin is almost empty. I refilled it, just a drive of about 30 minutes, it's empty again. What is really the problem. @Luvinhubby, biko help me with this problem. It's like this my Honda EOD 2004 wants to send me to the village.

otabuko:
how can I get it please?

Replacing it is the koko

Honda Genuine power steering fluid and ATF-DW1 are the recommended fluids.
Make sure you get the original as the market has been flooded with clones from China

Problem is 3 parts

1. Our fuel

2. Engine oil used.

3. Mechanics



Our fuel ends up clogging the catalytic converter of most Honda and ford vehicles, if not diagnosed properly plugs, coils, injectors, valves, piston rings, are tampered with looking for a fault.

A blocked catalyst will cause sever heat on the exhaust side of the head cylinder destroying valve stem seals and compression rings resulting in bluish smoke.

For diagnosing sluggish movement start with the catalytic converters.



Engine oil types.

The use of 20w50 in a Honda engine is unforgivable in a Honda engine, for some reason they just don't recover well from it, and switching back usually causes oil burn.

Wrong oils cause sludge, cause faster wear and tear within a short time.

Honda's have really good builds, and if you are the first Nigerian user with the right fluids, the only issue you should have in about 4-5 years is a blocked catalytic converter


Mechanics is self explanatory

This happened to my car late February, I noticed while on the express that the car is losing power and getting sluggish especially while going uphill and then temperature start rising. When I got back to my base I told mechanic to check and he said everything is ok that maybe it's cos of the hot weather that causes the temperature rise which then result to losing power.
I travelled again and this time it's getting worse and I couldn't use AC at all as that quickly get the temperature high. Took it to a mechanic village where the rewire said maybe fuel pump isn't supplying well and that's why the car is sluggish and that we should buy another fuel pump that the airflow is also very dirty(truly it is) but I insist let us scan the car. Last last it's broken and blocked catalytic converter. After they cleared it my car is back to normal. It's only left for me to get a new catalyst and aside a little wider exhaust noise I don't think I noticed any increased fuel consumption.

I use 5w30 mobile super semi synthetic.. what do you say about the oil.

GreekDon:


Interesting. Please what model year is this? V6 or i4? Any code when car was scanned?
