That vibration is plugs. Does it also jerk forward when you change gears. If yes that is engine seat

Remote diagnosis is not done this way. There are somany other more possible scenarios that would cause same symptom .

Blackbishop:

From the narration sir, couple of parts can actually cause vibration, one of them, the plugs and coils.
Another is your Injector.
Another is your Throttle body

But why dont you scan and be sure of what is really wrong.

double3 may be right about the caliper. Or the brake pads are in close contact with the brake disc even when brake is not applied

Brake pad in contact with brake disc when brake isn't applied= stuck brake caliper

Hi guys, my car has an issue with the transmission. The clutch is soft and when pressed, I won’t be able to engage gear. It happened about 4 weeks ago, the mechanic said it was because my clutch fluid was leaking and he changed the kits and then poured fresh oil. Yesterday it happened again...could it be something else or that initial fault wasn’t fixed properly ?

Now I understand why there was progression from manual tranny to automatic. I love manual though but this clutch stress is pissing me off

That is the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), it come on when your tyre pressure is lower or higher than the recommended tyre pressure. You have to check the pressures of all the four tyres to ascertain which one is the culprit.

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by abolem369(m): 10:04am On Aug 07, 2020

House please how do u know if a fuel gauge is working perfectly, this guy worked on my fuel pump and gauge and I bought like 15liters and it went straight to half, I was like it shouldn't get to that level but he said the fuel gauge read only the one side of the tank that it will balance it later after driving for a while. Please your ideas are needed. Thanks

Unfortunately, most times the TPMS sensor is damaged.

I notice my Check engine light comes up when my odometer get to 4rpm. it usually happens when am on the highway and picking up speed.

What could cause this??

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by Nicholas4(m): 7:50pm On Aug 07, 2020

Good evening house. I have a very pressing issue.

Whenever I start my car in the morning and shift my gear to drive, the car doesn't accelerate well. The engine keeps revving but the car does not accelerate accordingly.

However, the issue revolves itself after driving for few minutes when the engine has become a bit hot.

Please what could be the cause.

I want to raise my Honda Accord 2010 because its too low and the roads are bad in my locality. Is it advisable to raise it? Some people have told me not to raise it and some friends have said the car may start wobbling and have stability issues if raised. Should i instead buy bigger tyres and will that work? I am wondering if the tyres will start hitting or scraping on the body. I currently use 225/55 R17 tyres. Thats the recommended tyre size. Plz whats your suggestion(s)?
