Young lady, you have a very low self esteem. This is beyond seeking attention.

A/F sensor aka Wide Band oxygen sensor aka Heated oxygen sensor aka Upstream O2 sensor has a heating element inside it, and it’s primary function is to monitor the flow of burnt gases flowing from the exhaust manifold and also use this info to monitor and relate to the ECU to adjust the air and fuel stoichometry as needed. It is placed usually before a catalytic converter just aft of the exhaust manifold outlet of the engine.

O2 sensor aka narrow band O2 sensor aka downstream sensor primarily monitors NOx and SOx and other harmful gases coming out and also tells if the catalytic converter is doing it’s job or not. It’s placed after a catalytic converter most times.

Okay, so I have to put this here. I dropped car with partner since Saturday after the whole task force saga at Festac. He asked me to bring the car over that night. We discussed on phone, and he said he's terminated the agreement. (I just let it go because I don't like stress and the car gave issues. I don't know what God is saving me from as I was still within the confines of our agreement).

I had a slight accident with the car last Thursday (I didn't put that here earlier) car brakes were bad and I had to stop but it wasn't working properly so I hit a jeep that stopped suddenly in front of me cos someone ran across the road. I hit brakes but it wasn't sharp enough. Bonnet was bent, so I took car to panel beater and had them straighten the bonnet than fixed the brakes, bought another master cylinder. The whole thing cost me about 48k. AC also stopped working and I asked a rewire to check, he found some worked wires around the brain box, and in the process of opening that area, he mistakenly removed a wire they tied somewhere, previous rewire didn't tape it. After that car refuse to start no supply of fuel from fuel pump. All of that was on a Friday.

Left the car there and went back on Saturday then rewire began to trace, he got the car working again by working his own stuff in the fuse box and started checking AC too, said one wire around the brain box was also not supplying so he bypassed it and worked it out around the fuse box, so AC was working too. I was still thinking later I'll take the car there for him to return everything back to factory settings. Started work around 1pm that last Saturday, by past 5pm when Lastma held me, I had grossed 9800.

I called partner to help out with funds for taskforce that I will refund him. He gave 30k and asked me to sort the rest but I have to take the car to his house. I returned the car and when he came back he said I used the car roughly, I tried explaining that the brakes were bad and the accident was because of the brakes. He said he used it for two weeks before giving it to me, that it was manageable. Well brakes got worse as I kept using. In all, he took back his car. As I am like this I don't even have strength to search for car at the moment.

Felicity told me though, (I had signed the agreement before we discussed) he's got insight. I took a bad car and a bad car is bad for the business.

I'm still paying back some 5ks and 10ks I borrowed though. In all, we move!
What an experience u have had in one week plus.
Keep soldering on

Thank you very much. The pretty much sums up my problem. But one question tho, when the D light starts blinking does it stop your car from accelerating? Cuz when mine starts blinking it’s zero acceleration. I have to use the D3.
Yes, I had acceleration issues. I had to depress my throttle pedal more to get it running. Even at that, It was not moving as it ought to.

No it didn’t.
Mine swam through flood sometime in late July and I had my D blinking and my car notifcation was giving me check transmission message.I took it to my mech. He said my fluid was due for change. I changed it and drove it out. 2 or 3 mins later, it started blinking again. I took it back. He took out the gear solenoids and used carb cleaner to clean them very well. Fixed it back. That day I left his shop by 8pm. It didn't blinking again. One week later it blinked. We took it for a scan and I saw an error code. The guy cleared it and we took it for a drive. It has not blinked again since that late July to early August I tackled it. I have gone twice to scan it after that time and no error code on the transmission since then. No check transmission message notification from my car too.
You have to use a high end scanner to scan tho.

Still on this sir, the mechanic changed the transmission fluid and some seals. He told me they don’t wanna tamper with the gear, so I was asked to be driving it on D3 (which I’m not so comfortable with) please does driving on D3 have any repercussions?

And the issue still persists. I still have the “D” blinking and the car rises as high as 4k rpm which I don’t think it’s normal. Makes the car sound like it’s over working.

I’m still going to do a scan and get the codes. But please if anyone has any opinion/experience on this before I proceed.
Did your car swim through flood?

Thank you bro. No wonder I still have that code after changing the sensor. I bought an oxygen sensor instead of AF sensor. I thought they are just interchangeable words.

What code are you trying to solve?
The 36531-RNA-A01 which is from your car is an AF sensor while the one you bought is an O2 sensor and do not carry out their operations in any similar way.
What is the difference between an AF sensor and an O2 sensor?
Thought they mean the same thing?
Excuse my ignorance and teach me.

Thank you sir.
I have a friend that has the scanner, he deals with cars so he helped me scanned it earlier today when I was at work. He said the O2 sensors came out bad. Then we checked the water and noticed it was dry. So we topped the water and all. When you initially start driving it would be fine then after some minutes the issue would come up.
Look for a high end scanner that can scan the transmission. Probably your friend has just a portable Bluetooth scanner.

I am certain the 2005 acura TSX does not require premium gasoline. Though it maybe recommended but not required.
I drive a 2008 TSX and the manual says premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or so. I have googled and that seems to be the octane rating of Nigerian fuel. I have therefore restricted myself to buying fuel solely at nnpc stations.
Any need to use an octane booster?

Hmmm... I was not even been able to come on this thread for more than twice last week.

Last week was my first week driving and it was full of events, learning and adjustments.

I had car issues (my car is not a Tokunbo car) so I spent a large portion of time at the mechanic's place. Car is in good condition now. I also had several bashes in traffic because of my brakes. Brakes are in perfect condition now.

Last Monday, I used rida app because my bolt and Indriver were not yet active. That rida, their prices are too cheap. And pickup distances are too far. Imagine driving 1hr 30mins to pickup a 10mins trip and the app won't tell you 1hr 30mins to pick up it will tell you 10mins. It's when you open the map you will know. At like Ikeja are still better but still, it's shitty app, I had to ditch the it.

Tuesday I drove to bolt office at Lekki to rectify my bolt account. It was as if they won't open the account.

I found a way on Wednesday. Drove to VI and did short short trips. At a point, around 8pm I was tired and hungry, somehow, I had been doing card trips so no cash. I parked the car on Muri Okunola street. Trekked and look for GTB withdrew and ate indomie. Trekked back, was still tired feeling sleepy. I started the car it won't start. I just slept in it overnight. The next morning I discovered I had transmission on D not P after I turned off the engine, I put it on P and started engine, it responded at once. My tired was really tired the previous day.

Thursday and Friday, I didn't work. Car was at the mechanic's to fix brakes and some others. I was with them till late at night on the two days.

Yesterday, Saturday was when I now really drove but I got arrested by taskforce at Festac.

Left mechanic's shop around 1pm to start hustle.

First ride took me from Ojodu to Surulere, did many short trips within Surulere and then a trip to Festac.

Had to cough out 50k to have the car released at night. I had already made about 10k between 1pm when I left the mechanic's shop and around 5pm when I was arrested for using one way (ABC Transport Road on Festac) I didn't know that road was one way. ( Me that I've said I won't go on any trip that takes me to Festac. My plan was to drop the riders, go offline and find my way out of there ASAP)

I've realised nothing is in that Festac for me. Na wahala full there.

My partner paid 30k of it. I raised the rest. One Danfo bashed me again at obalende yesterday night.

For me, I see it as paying my dues on the road. I will continue and payback all the money I owe. I strictly need to limit the areas I visit to areas I'm familiar with. In all, I thank God.

I don't think there's anyone here doing the hustle that hasn't faced LASTMA or Taskforce. It's part of the Job.
I doubt if u made one naira this week.
All I see here is you bashing, getting bashed, sleeping at mechanic place and then being arrested by taskforce and paying 50k.
Damn!!!
