Hello my bosses. These codes are what I've been having from 07 civic. Each time I clear these codes and drive for a long time they always come back. That P0685 has been my major issue as I don't even know where the relay is located. I have changed the knock sensor though but I haven't change the 02 sensor. My gut is telling me the 02 and knock sensor codes are triggered by that P0685.
I used Torque converter pro Bluetooth app with NEXAS obd2 Bluetooth scanner to scan. Make una help in pointing me to the right direction. Each time I clear code, check engine light will go away only to return after several drive minutes. Sometimes my RPM will begin to misbehave.

dapotemi: I was a rider for two complete month (May/June) and even part of July and not for once was I fortunate to take a ride with a good suspension! Believe me, on e you order a ride, note that you'll be picked up with a scrappy car, at least 9 out of 10! Like you, I wonder if they are part of the gang making 50k daily as we see on naira land Uber thread. We are making the money but something else is swallowing it. |

Kumuyiii: Lol personally i put on the Ac for myself not for passengers... But for the guy... J don't know the amount for the fare and distance, but if it was unfair, my brother, you no suppose complain at all, these prices I'm seeing everyday people accept is horrible, hence why i never comot in weeks.... Cus no be me go slave for una... He should have told you b4 taking it offline but lol, if he's a kidnapper, no be online or offline go stop am na, lmao... For Nigeria? You for offer am additionally maybe 1k to on ac for you, it won't do you harm, ESPECIALLY, if the original price was laughable. No be the rider's fault, it's the stupid bolt that's fighting in the mud with indrive by offering stupid prices to riders, just like indrive is doing just to remain in business. Instead for bolt to be looking up at uber but bolt must always find another app to copy copy. No genuity. If its that easy to maintain vehicles in this country today, couple with the price of fuel, why hasn't bolt partner with a company to supply them vehicles like uber did so that they can have their own vehicle plying Lagos roads?but they won't do that but can set stupid prices with bogus commission for drivers to accept. Booking a whole vehicle to take you alone shouldn't be for every Dick, Tom and Harry. It should be considered as a luxury but it's only in Nigeria that it has been made so cheap by these app companies. Next time he should enter public transport or the yellow cab he mentioned if he won't pay the yellow cab x10 of what stupid bolt and indrive are charging and yet yellow cab won't offer him AC because it has non to begin with. |

Hire purchase at 80k weekly is better than weekly remittance of 50/60 k

2. Scan the vehicle, the code generated will let us know where to start your diagnosis from Yes the speedometer is calibrated in Km or Mph. He needs to be sure. This example is in Km

macuwon: Vehicle Details - *Vehicle Model:* Honda Civic 2011 - *Engine Size:* 1.8 liters
Fuel Consumption Details - *City driving fuel consumption:* 20.9 liters per 100 km - *Fuel consumption per km:* 0.209 liters/km - *Fuel cost per km:* ₦183.92 (₦880/liter × 0.209 liters/km)
Method of Calculation To calculate the fuel consumption, I used the following method: - When the fuel gauge shows yellow (indicating reserve fuel level), I purchase approximately 23 liters of fuel (₦20,000 worth). - I reset the trip meter after each fuel refill. - I drive normally until the fuel gauge shows yellow again. - The trip meter consistently shows around 110 km, indicating that 23 liters of fuel is consumed over this distance.
Observed Issues - *High fuel consumption:* The vehicle's fuel consumption is higher than expected for a Honda Civic 1.8-liter engine, even with the air conditioner on.
Please What could be the cause and solution.it's a tokunbo vehicle, though the mileage is high. Scan car and post codes. But this consumption is too much even if it's a 9ja used and you say this is a toks car. Getting 8km/LTR self is poor but still manageable. |

Biodun1929: But can you break down how one should charge, based on the KM of the journey? So that I know how much to add ontop of the amount for a trip that indrive brings. If you do this full-time, ₦450, ₦500-₦550 should be your benchmark. Some people only consider the time it will take them to complete the trip and not how far the journey is. Someone like me that drives only on Sundays when I have time, I'm very selective and don't do much trip so I calculate based on price/km So you need to decide for yourself

Pearl1910: Not sure I understand what u guys are trying to say. Are u insinuating that Indrive prices shows different amount to Drivers depending on driver distance from Rider? Not different amount. Same amount but different price/KM. The closer you're to the rider, the juicy the price /km |

PuZZyNegro: Who told you that drive time includes the time it takes to get to pick up point, wait time, and actual travel time? It's even the distance for a trip to cover from where you parked to point A and point B indrive use to calculate and then divide the amount rider is offering for the ride by the Km to cover. Indrive is not concerned about the time it will take you to complete the ride. If you like use 2hr or use 10mim. Na you sabi |

Helpout12345: Can you imagine Ashawo is demanding for health care coverage for their hazardous work? Who pays for the health care coverage? From what account? Do they pay taxes on their wages??
And asking for protection?? The only protection the state can provide you people is to be locked up in police cells and appear in courts. Prostitution is still illegal in Nigeria. This is like yahoo boys asking for protection from FBI.
Going back to this matter, that ashawo committed a breach of contract. Since she is sick, she was not supposed to enter into a "till day break" contract, collect 15k and failed to provide her services as promised. Are they not citizens of this country? And yes they pay tax through the goods and services they buy to use. Stop looking down on them as if you're better, holier or morally upstanding. You might even be worse than them. It's their body and you don't own it |

davit: Guys, go through these screenshots and understand better the moronic system that Bolt app runs. So, according to them a rider reported about safety issue. And the next thing is the driver is blocked. No fair hearing. They won't even tell you how and what happened. Meaning any rider can just come up with a false claim and gbam, you as a driver you are axed. No need to explain yourself.
Pearl I need your input here. Complaints and riders are the keywords here. This means it's not just one person that have reported you but accumulation of complaints from riders brought the axe on your account. |

Pearl1910: I really don't know what u want to hear from anybody here that u don't already know as an adult.
Forgery is a crime Impersonation is a crime
What again do u want to hear? U want someone to tell u it's okay for ur friend to register while u use the account?? Or u want someone to tell u to put ur passport in his license and use the forged license to register?? In both cases, there are layers of checks that will search u out over time if not by the app company then in ur daily encounters on the road with law enforcement u will be discovered. It's a different thing if u have a valid license but an App company blocks u. In ur case, u don't have driver's license at all. So anything u want to do will not only be against company laws but against the law of the land.
To register, as an ehailing driver u need DL, passport, phone number, email address and bank account details. It's the face that gets captured during registration that stays on d app for riders to see. If ur friend registers and u are using the app to work, riders will say u are a different person and complain to d app company. Or say u are a kidnapper. Don't put ur life at risk. Secondly, often randomly, the app companies do facial verification before u can go/continue online. Will u go looking for the friend that owns d account to do facial recognition for u? And If u can't verify immediately especially if it's day time, then it will raise suspicion.
Fresh DL now takes about 3-4months to get captured and slip given and a further 3months to get your Permanent card all things being equal. So if u are impatient after 2months maybe ur plug didn't tell u it will take minimum 3months to capture. You're very on point, bolt and indrive that I'm familiar with requires identity check once in a while and without doing it you may not be able to accept ride orders. Something like this from bolt

Omoapena: your first paragraph has to be the funniest thing, I asked you if you understood my points which you claimed are wrong cox its surprising as you claimed its wrong as that has been people's opinions about CNG, did you even read my last paragraph where I said personally, I won't convert to CNG due to personal reservations.
since you're an experienced user of CNG, you could have just outlined your counter reason why everything I said is wrong as I only outlined my own reasons due to informations from users and installers I read both on here and off here.
did you say object of ridicule? abeg, where did that one come from, anyway who cares?
back to everything you said, you claimed mechanics are scared to touch your car due to the CNG kit, I don't know how truthful this is, but I've seen someone brought CNG powered vehicle to my mechanic and he wasn't afraid or reluctant to fix the vehicle for the owner.
you claimed parts aren't available but I wasn't talking about the kits parts, I'm talking about the car parts in general which you already familiar with.
additionally, everything I said about CNG has been everyone's submissions about CNG, even Gazzuzz(RIP) also said similar things about CNG, I'm surprised you have a different experience... You get mind dey argue with an experienced user of this said alternative cheaper fuel. You will not convert your vehicle but will support others converting theirs. Here is a first time user experience giving the other hidden issues one might experience when converted but you still doubt it. Going back and forth to the installation centre can be very damning and God help you if you are out of range when you get issue. He mentioned pressure of dispensing point in all the late Gazuzz videos I've watched, he never mentioned that. The only thing he said was the engine loosing a fraction of its power while on CNG compared to Petrol |

Hybrid600: Is it safe to top up transmission oil after a car has been driven and engine is still warm? Honda suggest to let your engine reach optimum temperature and wait for 90secs to guage the transmission oil. If it's not guaged, you can add or top it up. It's only engine I know it's not good to guage while still hot. |

Nlanalyst: Now my questions are; Seller is swearing that his car wasn't overheating hitherto. 1) is it my Kazeem's fault that he couldn't spot the overheating till it got that bad? 2) Car is parked at Agege and we are asked to return on Tuesday (I've paid for everything including even to fix the dashboard (37k). Who is to cover these expenses? Especially as the car didn't even follow me to my state let alone home? The seller or me? 3) is 37k not overcharged for a dashboard? (Asking for future's purpose not like I can get the money back. 4) We've scanned the car and it's alright save for the overheating. My confusion is, could the overheating (radiator was leaking water) have started few minutes of us driving from Ikorodu or it has most definitely been an issue before now? Abi my Kazeem is just an overrated idiot. As long as all you guys did was to inspect and test drive, the problem has been there before. That car does no overheat any how unless the engine is running for a long time that is when you got to know, and I'm sure you people didn't keep the engine running for a very long time before you pay. I've once driven same car from lekki to Iyanaoworo with traffic along Alexander without knowing my fans are not working and I didn't pay attention to the temperature gauge. It was when I was hearing boiling and whistling sound from the radiator reservoir that I got to know it's over heating yet nothing burn. It's not your Kazeem's fault buying 9ja used car is a gamble. I hope the fault stops after fixing. Also was your instrument cluster not working or it's blank that you guys couldn't see why it was overheating |
