Thank you, and this guy has the biggest rewire workshop in Ekiti State, he has big cars patronising everyday and this made me believe him. I Google and discovered that cat and oxygen sensor work differently.

I even changed the newly purchased engine to another one and still black smoke.

Pls how much is oxygen sensor and how can I get it waybilled

I got mine from Luvinhubby here on Nairaland. Simply reach out to him and he will waybill to you.

Will do. Also forgot to mention, don’t know if it’s normal, although I haven’t seen this happen to other cars parked by my neighbors, when I put off the car, usually my AC runs while I drive, I sit in the car for a few minutes before going in. I’ll notice a puddle of water has leaked from under the car. Usually it was clear water, now the water has a sort of tint and it’s usually a lot.

It's normal, same with the AC in your office or home that leaks water to the ground.

Hi house,

My Honda Accord 2009 consumes a lot of fuel 5k fuel doest last me one week regardless of putting on the AC highest 3days. I have catalyst or could it be the 02 sensor in the exhaust.

Did you buy the car like that? When did it start?

How many miles Please

4 plug or 6 plug?

You are our #1 priority sir , we got you covered sir ......

Please share your Lagos office address or your phone number. It's not on your profile.

I took the car to him again and he scan, the only code seeing is the Oxygen sensor and he said Oxygen sensor is useless when the car does not have catalyst in it

Not true, without oxygen sensor, your car will also consume more fuel than required

sylvez:
Please how do I get his contacts

Good morning and thanks for the good work here.

I have Honda Civic 2002 and I replaced the engine. Since I replaced the engine, I have changed brainbox because of many issues.

Now, the RPM is always high when engaged in gear but car does not move fast. Luke 3000 rpm whine speed is 30mile/h

This is also with noise as if something is dragging it back


Where it supposed to use gear 3, it will suddenly back to gear 1.

The engine too consumes fuel with black smoke when raised.

Done the scanning but no worrisome code.

Pls what's the issue

Share the codes even though you feel it's not worrisome.

bigdeals:
cool

Upgraded from what year to 2016 please

hybeekhan:
Does anyone have an idea about the price and replacement of half block engine for accord 2004. 4 plug. Will it work fine?

Full engine is always better.

KelvinCoaster:

Kubwa.
For specifics, kingreign will respond.

israel2563:
I drained all the oil and filled with genuine Toyota ws today

So how is the driving experience after using the recommended Oil

israel2563:
Scanned but no code….ac guy worked on my ac, removed my radiator and all the gear oil drained out.
Got there and saw oil on the ground..we topped the oil that day . The issue started that day.

What exact type of transmission Oil was used to refill? Hope it wasn't Abro...

Good day great engineers
My camry 2004 won't start. I parked the car and d next morning I try to start it but the car won't start or cranck. The security light keep flashing even when the key is in ignition. We've checked with system by 2 different rewire guys but seems they are not getting it since last week thursday. I've asked someone to read d key for possible signal error but I was told the key is perfectly okay. Another person checked it today with system after lot of trial and told me is the immobilizer that may be faulty. Pls what could be the issue with the car

If you have a duplicate car key, please try it.

Physically inspect the key for any sign of being loose/shaking/having small crack.
Some keys come with sensors inside.

It’s better to go to Ogun state and renew your vehicle particulars now

Lagos don cast

Seems it's part of their rule that if your vehicle is registered in Lagos then the certificate of road worthiness must also come from Lagos.

Greyhouston:
Good morning and thank you so much! I’m just really worried about that rpm thing

Welcome to the Honda club. First of all try and get a car OBD2 scanner from Jumia.
It's very cheap and can detect all the problems of your car that is causing the high fuel consumption. You will simply plug it to somewhere under the steering and it will bring out the error codes.

Good afternoon. I just bought my first car and I’m in utter regret. It’s Honda CRV 2008 Nigerian used. The middle man was recommended by a trusted person and he didn’t do his due diligence. The car had body works and to me it was working well. I got home and discovered later that the central lock didn’t work for one door, the boot that was opening didn’t open again, sometimes the car won’t start (maybe battery and kickstart) problem. The remote will work today and not work tomorrow.

Also they did a scan and it brought this: Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) System Malfunction.

P0172
P145C Code - Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor Range/Performance Problem

Currently, I’ve been able to resolve the problem with one of the doors not central locking and I know the kickstart and battery problem is just to fix it. But the boot not opening is giving me lots of concerns. Panel beater has checked it out, Rewire is saying it might be a connection problem. Every Rewire is complaining that the car has been worked on a lot, join-join. I’m tired. I’m thinking of going back to the dealership to swap or upgrade to another car. I no fit for wahala. But they keep reassuring me that once I fix this issues everything will be well. Just today today o they discovered that the exhaust is not even the right exhaust for it.

What should I do pls?

If the car is driving well and all gears are working properly including the AC and fuel consumption is economical, just fix the other things you have mentioned and enjoy your ride.

I am in Ado-Ekiti

First of start by ordering the recommended transmission oil from Lagos and change the present oil.

The D light blinking is a red flag. Please stop driving it around till the transmission Oil is changed otherwise you need to save for a new gear box.

I need help

I just changed the engine of my Honda Civic 2002 EX. After putting the new engine, the RPM, Temperature and D, D3, D2 lights refused to work and on. If I put in D, no light, it will drive but like using gear 4 of manual gear to move, sharp movement is impaired. Everything was working perfectly before the engine replacement.

Took it to rewire, they scan and scanner was unable to connect with the car. The person now said the Brain box might have been affected and said he will repair it for 30k and if he couldn't repair and get the car back to normal working condition, I will buy another brainbox.

Pls who can give some insights and how much is the brainbox for honda civic 2002 ex

Thanks

What's your location?

samintegrity:
Nooo bro

Those codes were there before, I didn't just felt the need to fix it, but I recently read the fuel tank pressure sensor too could affect the fuel efficiency.

Don't know how true thou.

Seems the O2 sensors come in 4 pins and 6 pins. Be sure to get the correct one from Luvinhubby

samintegrity:
Lol �

Let me shock u, 2 of them argued seriously with me that it doesn't really need to sensor to control the fuel..

They said it's plug ooo..

I just walk away..

Something I scanned that shows open loop.

Those guys need some retouching

If you were here in Lagos, you would have gotten competent rewires who have dealt with this issue.

samintegrity:
Purchased from luvinghubby..

Great man I must say.

The items came in same day of purchase, only thst the driver landed in Akure from Lagos very late at night.

Will install afterwards today...

I recommend luvinghubby for your Honda parts need.

Thanks.

After installing, codes 135 and 141 must disappear. You will also notice a considerable improvement in fuel economy. Don't forget to come back here and share the outcome.
Regards

Please who can refer me to someone good at repairing car remote, My Honda Accord 2005 remote is not working

Location:Abuja

Contact kingreign here on Nairaland

izaac23:
I don't seems to grab anything from close loop to open loop u are talking about. Do I have a scanner

Pls explain with english

Whenever you start your car, it will be in open loop for some minutes until the O2 sensors kicks in. Open loop means the car is not following any instructions regarding fuel use. More fuel will therefore be consumed. Once the O2 sensors begin to work the car ECU will control the amount of fuel being used by the car using the sensors. This is closed loop and less fuel will be consumed by the car.
But please start by buying an OBD 2 Bluetooth scanner from Jumia. It's very cheap and can detect basic car faults. Simply install torque app on your Android and use the scanner to scan the car. The error codes that will be shown will give you the exact root case of your car consuming too much fuel.

nickyosas:
Good afternoon Sirs.
I scanned my car, a Honda CRV 2008 with today and got the following codes:
P2184
P0135
P0141
P0533
P0113
P0010
I want to know in what order of severity and expenses should i start to fix them.

Thanks!

135 and 141 are upstream and downstream O2 sensors. Your car will be drinking fuel if both are faulty. How is your fuel consumption?
