Not really Boss. From search, there are two types of engine for the car- Japanese domestic market and US domestic market. my engine is the Japanese market(JDM) which doesn't come with a CKF, while my ECU is OBD2 therefore looking for the signal. There's a bypass procedure to this- connecting the CKF wire to CKP wire. I will be needing help to do this. The process is online. The other option of reconstructing it with US market parts is costlier.

Update: We update for people who may have similar challenge and want to search for these same issues

So the CRV P1337 code has been cleared after following some steps found online. My engine JDM B20B do not come with CKF sensor so I had to bypass(connect) the cable at the ecu with the CKP wires and the code was cleared. Thanks guys!!

Check crankshaft position sensor and harness


Update: So Boss, we loosed the crank casing of my engine and couldn't find the CSF(CKF) sensor. Guess previous owners have done some manueveur. I got the car manual and found that it should be there.
According to the manual, Crank fluctuation sensor(CSF/CKF) is different from crank position sensor (this one is in the distributor). I'm wondering why the Ckf is missing from position.
#oldcar. Will really love to clear the code,maybe it will solve this non-starting problem I experience sometimes.

Family / Re: Wife Trying To Ruin My Career Within A Few Months Of Arriving Abroad by ugreat(m): 2:31pm On May 23, 2020
LinLinGentle:
Disclaimer: I AM NOT A SAINT AND MY WIFE IS NOT THE DEVIL. I HAVE JUST BEEN UNFORTUNATE TO BECOME A VICTIM OF MATRIARCHY WHICH MANY MEN SUFFER ABROAD...

I have been hustling abroad for a few years while wifey was working in Nigeria and living with children. Marriage has always been turbulent and we even almost got divorced after I travelled out. We somehow worked on our issues with the help of pastors, family and friends, and after a few years of ''roughing'' it abroad to pave way for them, I finally succeeded and my family arrived a few months ago.

I used to be hot tempered, but I have had enough time to gain insight into my inadequacies and reflect on them. I am now significantly calmer due to the determination to make my marriage better and as per ''abroad levels''. My wife on the other hand is fully taking advantage of me and the environment we find ourselves in. First thing she did on getting here was to cut of my entire family. She said she doesn't want to have anything to do with any of them anymore. She has also not been too keen to kickstart her career, as all she does is endless picture taking and editing for social media hyping. I know this might be due to the initial ''euphoria'' phase cos she is coming abroad to a big house, big car and having no limits on most things we used to manage back in Nigeria, and she thinks things are bread and butter. You would never think for a second that she is a married woman if you check her profiles on social media!

She has become even more toxic person than she ever was in Naija. Now very bossy, never backs down, always the attacker, ever ready for a fight, lazier, always on social media, communicates with me as little as possible, embarrasses me in the neighbourhood with the constant noises from our house, and finally her threats have now tripled! Madam is now so fierce that I have become the house chicken. Just within a few months of being here o! She tells me that she will show me for all the ''gra gra'' I used to do back in Nigeria. Friends advised me against bringing this woman here but I no wan hear word as per responsible family man wey I dey claim to be.

The popular threat is usually ''I will end your career''. I wasn't taking this too seriously initially, but she then started following through with the threats by constant calls to the police and other services, making spooky and baseless career ending accusations and allegations against me.

I have never been the one to first lay my hands on her, but I have spilled drinks on her before when she attacked me. My wife now gets very physical without having any element of self control, fear or restraint after the simplest argument and sometimes, she damages things out of anger. She does this so often and never hesitates to dare me to do my worst.

I discovered that she has signed up on dating sites and when I even caught her chatting about sex to a particular guy in our area, she said that it was all my fault. She did not apologise for this. She even referred to it one time after an argument that if I am convulsing like this over just a sex chat, she's waiting to see what I'd do when I see a man on top of her.

My productivity at work has declined significantly and I am now on the verge of depression. Neighbours called the police on us one time after a lot of noise from out house. She accused me of domestic violence. The police had to separate us and I was stuck at home for an extended period and could not go to work due to this. I am now being investigated for domestic violence, which is a serious crime as madam wants it and I have had to report the situation to my company! The whole thing is so messy that I am scared that I have not seen the worst yet.

I am so afraid of losing it all and returning to Nigeria broke cos I spent my last card and even racked credit card debt to bring them here hoping to pay off gradually. I still have a few years to get my citizenship and if I lose my job now, that is the end for all of us!

For now, I don't know what is going to happen to us, as this woman is so determined to cause great and irreparable damage that could ruin our lives, just to get back at me and she is being cheered on by her family and friends.

THE SITUATION IS SO MESSED UP!

UPDATE:

Divorce has now been filed. I also recently got lucky as I was able to secure a restraining order when she messed up again and hit me daring me to do my worst. I called the police and made a proper case and she was arrested. She has been banned from the house for a month. The police advised me to talk to my lawyer and extend indefinitely if I want to. I hope to get this done ASAP. The law here does not only protect women but also protects innocent men. All you need is patience and wisdom. Thank you all for your ideas. Still several hurdles to cross but I am on the winning side for now.

You got my prayers bro. You're in a deep one right now. God will make a way for you in all these. Add some prayers to your strategy bro, for the sake of your kids. God can do anything! I wish you well

The phone is good for light phone users like me. I do more of zoom meetings, news and light online reading, not a game person or movie guy. Just needed a bigger screen and it's serving it's purpose. It's 4G LTE is better than my former

Youngsage:

If you want to include the primes then make it easier and spell them out as a different comparison.

Y9 vs redmi 8
Y9prime vs redmi note 8

I guess that's what you mean right?


In terms of battery life, Huawei is king in that department. Trumps any other device I can think of.
The Redmi 8 is no match for the Y9. Shouldn't even be a question.

However, the Y9 prime vs note 8 seems dicey but I'm tending towards the Huawei.

Thanks guy. You guys know better. Note my field. Thanks for the clarification

Hello all, please what's your take on engine flush? My car engine has sludge, the oil gets dark after few weeks of oil change. My mechanic suggested pouring engine flush into the engine a day before oil change. I intend changing the oil this Friday.

You pour the flush into the old oil and allow the engine to run for 5 minutes and then throw away the whole oil and put fresh oil. Voila

Thanks Boss

there is holts engine flush and johnsen engine flush. You can get Johnsen on konga or jumia but the engine flush from holts is new in the market and they both last five minutes. If you check the oil after draining, you will find metal particles in the oil after using abro. That brand is a no go area brand for our vehicles.

Boss,when you say they both last for five minutes, what do you mean?

Bro ur car is probably going slow..

I meant check the rpm and u would discover it goes below 500rpm when u slow down.

increase the rpm to 1000

My CRV is going slow bro. At initial start, it stays close to 0rpm and vibrating till I press the accelerator pedal a little, it picks up a bit.
Rpm does same in traffic, when car is on 'D', but goes to 700-800 when put to 'P' on traffic. Have changed IACV, cleaned throttle body,changed map, only plug I haven't changed in checking this issue. I need help here friends.

Good evening house,

My 2007 Bank type Corolla was having a hard start and I changed fuel pump at mechanic's suggestion. Now the hard start remains though not as much as before.

Please advice.
Create time and confirm the fuel pump was changed,after the change confirm that fuel is getting to the fuel nozzle.
If issues still persist,check the nozzles,check the coil and ignition coil in the sequence to confirm all working as at required.
