Is your model the one with a SULEV engine? Those are the ones with two sensors.

I don't know if mine is SULEV engine. So you mean that some engines come with only one sensor?

@luvinhubby, My rewire says my car doesn't use upstream O2 sensor. It only has one as fitted from the factory. He is the second rewire to say this. Could this be true?

2003 Honda Accord V4 engine

Gurus in the house. My 2010 Toyota Venza V6 averages 12mpg on intercity driving. Is this low for the mileage. I feel it is, and please what could be causing this low mileage.

What can I do to increase it. Really appreciate answers

Below are the specs for your car

Your city driving should be 18mpg.
Your Highway driving should be 25mpg
Combined driving should be 21mpg.

I advise you scan your car and post the error codes here. A number of factors could cause high mileage but let's not do guesswork.

My mechanic don't have o, unless I come to Lagos

No need to come to Lagos. Buy the device on Jumia. It should be able to pull out basic error codes. And it's also easy to use. Costs starts from 4k. It's called OBD 2 Bluetooth car scanner.

Hello all. Should I remove the thermostat and single cell radiator from my 2007 Honda pilot. Take note it isn't overheating

Don't do any yet. Hope it's coolant in your radiator and not water. Keep driving it but always monitor the temperature gauge well for any unusual changes.

Please I need help... The D light of my Honda city is blinking and I got it scanned and it showed P1887.

The oil is gauged and I use CVT oil for it. Please what can I do??


If your vehicle has a P1887 DTC, it means that the switch that lets the ECU know the TCC clutch/torque converter clutch is no longer engaged, is not responding properly. If this happens, the engine and transmission will not function properly together. Which means performance could suffer and safety could be affected.
I suggest you Change your speed sensor.

Please how can I solve this issue.

If is not a damaged fuse or open circuit then the best solution is to replace both sensors.

Car gurus in the house I just bought Nigeria used Honda 2007 Dc the car consume 12liters of petrol for 50km. I just changed the evap amzd Obd 1and 2 sensors but the oil consummation have not improved .I notice that the fan runs directly .what can I do to improve the car oil consumption

Before changing both sensors, were the error codes P0135 and P0141
Car Talk / Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Structuralman: 9:15am On Sep 12, 2021
petrusevents:
Pls can someone give vivid explanation of these codes.

The car consumes so much fuel lately

Both your upstream and downstream oxygen sensors are malfunctioning. Hence the reason for your cars high fuel consumption. O2 sensors are responsible for the air:fuel ratio of your car to measure the mixture of fuel to air burned.

Also post on the thread below for more responses from other experts.

Hello house, I need urgent help. Can I use Mobil XHP 2000 5w30 or Mobil XHP 3000 5w40?

I was told that full synthetic oil may not be good for high mileage cars. How true is this?

You didn't specify the car you drive. You also didn't specify the oil you used before or the oil the previous owner used. With these info we can advice you accordingly.
