Car Talk / Re: Catalyst Missing On Honda Accord 07 by thebigkendo(m): 2:43pm On Apr 11, 2022
baba4thegehs:
Good day everyone.
Bought a Honda Accord 07 today, but my mechanic noticed there is no Catalyst in the car, he said it would cost about 90k to get a replacement or I get someone to manually create a makeshift one for the car. I honestly don't want to spend much to fix the car at the moment.

I need an advise on what to do??


Please help

Then don't.. Catalyst on that car is majorly for emission control.. It does not affect fuel consumption. Remove the garbage copper wire & drive the car like that.

Why people start stuff they can't finish is beyond me sad

That's how the other nigga gingered us saying he is going to DIY paint his Car...9 pages and years later, it has been from one story to the other until he finally handed over the car to a painter..

Then the other guy opened a thread on upgrading of a 99 Sienna, showed us pictures of an incompletely upgraded rear view of the vehicle, and then disappeared till date..

Or the other London nigga who started converting and uograding his Right-hand Drive Range Rover Sport and then abandoned it, leaving us high and dry sad

Then there was the MDX saga wherein some people started what they couldn't finish, although some nigga came through and concluded the matter quite nicely...Even Nazis will be envious of the bile and venom generated in that MDX thread.. But at least, something was satisfactorily concluded there..

many unfinished threads litter this section..Everybody wan form DIY and enthusiast when they know they can't finish the dance they started..

Now this...2018 till date, na soso English without any motion..all noise and no result

Please anyone who wants to open such a thread should kindly finish chronicling the events completely before opening thread...no be say u go open thread forming King Kong and then disappear and abandon us with unfinished work sad

You guys have nothing to prove to anyone here...no point starting what you can't finish just because of a few online likes...Go nag on your wives and girlfriends if you crave attention so much and stop using us to massage your egos by quipping our interests and then leaving us stranded in the bush sad

We that don't DIY and are not enthusiastic about tinkering with vehicles, shey we don die? ...Must you guys court attention for God's sake ? sad

Oya sorry now..

I have the attached error when I scanned. Does this still point to the resistor?

Yep.. Defective Resistor is one of the possible causes for the B1241
another cause could be a bad blower motor(less likely)

If you are good with tools, remove the blower resistor and examine it.

Yeah all fuses are fine. I also think it's the resistor any suggestion of a seller?

Any AC repair guy in you locality should be able to source it, it's possible resistors from other Honda models will fit.

"Better" engine is relative. An engine can be better than others in some categories, and be less effective in other categories.

The 2007 XC90 only has 2 engine variants. 3.2l I6, and 4.4l V8. The T5 and T6 engines were eliminated for the XC90 after 2006. There's also the D5 engine for 2007, but that's a diesel engine and wasn't available in North America.

The 3.2l I6 is capable for the XC90, puts out 235 bhp and adequate torque, gets the vehicle up and moving reasonably well. The fuel efficiency is also adequate for its weight and is comparable to other models in that category.

The 4.4l V8 is the top engine for the 07 XC90. Puts out 311 bhp, impressive torque for its size, and is the engine of choice for the active driver. Naturally the expected worry would be fuel economy in a V8, however the difference in real world fuel economy between the V8 and the I6 is really not significant, under normal, average driving conditions in everyday commuting.

Slam on the V8 throttle however, and all that changes. The increased V8 performance naturally translates to increased fuel consumption and lower fuel economy. The same applies to the I6 in spirited driving, but less so.

A vehicle is much more than just its engine, of course.

The V8 engine comes in the top XC90 trims, and typically has the most available options. AWD, third row seating, rear AC setup, pop up display, headrest DVD displays, etc. If you're lucky and find the V8 Sport trim, it's the Holy grail for the 07. Had fine leather stitching, blue backlit dash gauges, sport 19" wheels, sport exhaust tips, and other V8 sport specific options.

The 3.2l I6 typically is available in FWD, may also have third row seating and the entertainment options.

Both trims are mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission from AISIN-WARNER, which does a relatively capable job. Certainly better than the earlier T5 and T6, the latter of which was a well known fiasco.

In summary, your priorities would determine which trim would be most suitable.

Do you get upset and triggered when random vehicles accelerate past you? The V8 is the engine for you.

Do you enjoy engine baritone? That deep hum that shows up during spirited driving? The V8 is the engine for you.

Do you pay more attention to smiles per gallon, at the expense of miles per gallon?

The V8 is the engine for you.

Do you often traverse poor, offroad inclined terrain? The Haldex AWD would do you some good, though it may not be the most powerful in its class.

The V8 is the engine for you.

Interesting.. I use to think all 07 and above XC90 have AWD and 3rd row seats

That's the point it's not blowing any air at all(hot or cold) even if the AC is switched of then normal fan is not blowing

Assuming all fuses are okay.. Blower motor resistor is probably burnt.. Not a very difficult fix
