₦airaland Forum

Hello Auto experts in the house. My Honda 2008 has difficulty in starting especially when the engine is very cold. I was told it was a failing fuel pump.

I changed the fuel pump yesterday n the problem still persist. Its that bad that when u park for just 5 mins, u will have to start it between 3 to 5 times before it will start.

My local kazeem told me it might be the ECT sensor.

I need advice before it will spoil my kick starter.

Ok

Are you okay?

First body?

Gazzuz and other experts in the house, kindly revert

Good evening nairalanders, pls i want to verify if this is a 2.0ltr 2008 honda engine or a 2.4ltr engine. Its urgent because i want to buy the car.

Lesson learnt

Dozieson:
GAZZUZZ:


The 2005/6 Camry 4cylinder is matted to the U250E 5 speed transmission unit.

It is a very sensitive transmission unit that will not entertain any form of contamination .


One of the reasons this particular transmission fails is because most technicians work in environments that can easily facilitate contamination .

Major cause of failure is sand/dirt getting into the transmission from 2 places .

1. CV axle

2. Refill port

Another place that could cause failure in this transmission (and many others) is a damaged air vent which is located on top the transmission housing. The air vent I usually extended via a plastic joint and a rubber pipe, and raised to the level of the height of the dipstick, or close to the vehicles head cylinder. The reason the vehicle manufacturer raised the Vent that high was to limit the possibility of water entering into the transmission during driving in wet conditions that might involve water levels that would possibly submerge the transmission which is very common on most Nigerian terrains. When the plastic joint gets damaged it is easy for fluid from external sources to contaminate transmission .


Now to your present situation.

Vehicle is produced with a 5speed aka 13pin transmission which is currently failing.

What is recommended is a 4speed 10pin transmission .

The vehicle will move (the wonders of Toyota/Lexus) but when wiring it up installer has 5solenoid connections and 4 solenoids.what happens is vehicle will always skip a gear that will not be connected . The vehicle will no longer be able to downshift, and on every cycle of transmission shifts you will notice an uncomfortable thump.


I understand why most technicians avoid the U250E transmission, this is because in this part of the world we are not very smart, the engine sellers remove the CV axles from the transmissions and leave them bare which also is a possible cause of contamination , and because it is already a sensitive transmission the technician is already setup for failure before he starts the job.

My advice contact the transmission seller to supply and install transmission . He will provide part, oil and installer , and will give you a guarantee on work done , he will also replace transmission as many times as required until it works.


Good luck.

I have actually changed my gear oil 13pin within 2 hrs after driving to a mech workshop

Google is your friend.
Nobody touches and engine or gear when it is hot. It is not comfortable.
You need to do more research even here on nairaland. A lot of explanation has been shared

why not immediately? 2hrs is too long.


Changing oil is different from removing the drive shaft. U rather need to Google

Dozieson:
Lolz. So you think the car has to cool for 3hrs? Those are naija mechanic myth which we all follow. The dirt/contamination is the real deal. Go and ask most cars owner how their gears Are damaged. Or ask the nairaland specialist.

Also, topping the gear oil with the wrong one

2008 sienna, lexus, ES350, LEXUS RX330, and host of other cars will fail transmission if you remove the inner shaft at optimum temperature. This is not a myth

The dirt u spoke about (if any) will be filtered by the transmission oil filter inside the transmission.

Nobody opens a transmission/engine when it is hot

Dozieson:
the most careful thing is to make sure the shaft don't contaminate the gear oil. let it be brand new if possible or wash it with fuel to be sparkling and sun dry it. if not you may lose your gear

In as much as you are right bro, the most important thing is to let the car cool for atleast 3hrs before removing the inner shaft from the transmission.

One of The most causes of transmission failure is removing the inner shaft while the transmission is still hot, and not necessarily the dirt sir.

bonnyhope:
Tyres play a vital role in vehicle movement

Pls which brand of tyres did you buy

omo na 2nd hand ooo. Though they were not winter tyres and were all produced in 2020

Mophor:
Please how were you able to fix this issue

I discovered that my 2 rear tyres were swollen wen i went for wheel balancing. Thats the first thing u should do.

both tyres were replaced.


And both front inner shaft was bad also. Be careful when replacing the inner shaft (inner cup) because there's alot of bad ones in the market that has been refilled with metal welding, ur mechanic should be able to chose a good direct belgium for u

Tyres plus innerc shaft changed... Car drives smoothly now

AutoMoTech:
why not start your diagnosis with the simplest things?
are your wheels balanced?
how about your tyres?
a wobbled tyre will show same symptoms.
an unbalanced or bent wheel will do same.
swap your tyres front to back and back to front. if symptoms persist you can rule tyres and wheels out and focus on other things.
next inspect your bushings, ball joints etc

absolutely correct... I went for wheel balancing and i was told my two rear tyres are swollen and need replacement. I will change it by weekend and revert back to the house. Thanks everyone for your contributions

ogtavia:
Had similar experience. If it was engine mounts or any of those mounts, he won't have gone as far as changing arms and inner cup.

exactly

Good evening NAIRALAND LERD, pls I have a 2006 toyota corolla. The car vibrates when ever I hit a speed of 80 to 100. I have changed the inner cup and all my steering arm. Problem still persist... What do I do??

Note... It does not vibrate at low speeds less than 80.
