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?

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.

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.

kingreign:
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.

Seun, do you really have a moderator for this section?

zotorux:
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.

true nurey is truly doing a nice job,kudos to him.

I hope you are in the honda/acura nairaland whatsapp group. We need you there if you aren't there. You are a worthy ambassador of Honda here.

nurey:
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?

CzarChris:
Yeah, but I don't know why I keep rooting for Boris. I just like the guy.




Afa bro, longest time. How is Lagos treating you bro?

Yet Indians will be insulting UK. Can Indians ever allow this in thier own country?

Anyways the UK colonised them.
Maybe it is time for the colonised to rule the coloniser.

See the effect of globalisation.
An Indian man is on the verge of becoming the prime minister of the United Kingdom. If you rewind the clock and tell men of old such, they will never believe but here it is about playing out before our very own eyes.

SamuelTaiw0:
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!!!

DanielsParker:
Omoh, I no do bolt again. It’s telling on my car already. I haven’t done maintenance in a while, it’s accumulating. My car isn’t fuel efficient. All the best to you guys. Stay safe

Walahi, na my first car Sha and I never sabi drive before nor get ideas about cars then, so mistake was made when inspecting before buying, I no fit make same kind of mistake next time Sha ..

One 2 Mecho said it's the Gear switch that's making the car to go off while driving a while either when reversing, parking or slowing down..

I just wan confirm if na correct info before Dem give am Typhoid drugs on Cholera illness

Have u scanned the car?
I am a first time car owner too. April this year. I had to go with my brother who had extensive knowledge of cars and his mechanic.
Then I have my own scanner now. I scan my car and have first hand knowledge of any issue. Then check the codes online and then watch YouTube videos on the problem resolution. Then I contact my mechanic and tell him what I want him to do. And the issue gets solved.
So scan that your car.

Hello, sorry to barge into you this way..

My Honda Civic just started a funny stuff, after driving for a while, once I put the gear on park, it parks but once I put it on drive or reverse afterwards, the engine goes off while the lights are still on inside, and same happens after driving for a few minutes and decide to reverse..

Please what can be the cause, my mecho has no idea, rewire too has tampered with the wirings and slow still same..

But 2 other mecho I called gave 2 different assessments..
First one said it's the Gear switch in the gear box
Second one said it's the Gear fuse (not sure) in the Engine hood

Please advise

This your civic don show u shege.

agoodman:
Hi guys!

I noticed my car was consuming too much fuel so I took it to a mechanic on Wednesday. We checked the plugs and he changed it because it was bad,he also cleaned the MAF sensor with abro cleaner because it was dirty. My car started vibrating on cold start today and I have to start it up to three times and check engine light is on. I called the mechanic and he said I must have bought fuel that has water in it and that I should bring the car so he can clean the injectors.

I want to know if anyone has experienced this before. Car is 2008 Honda Accord. This is the first time check engine light is showing on the dashboard.

Scan that car.
No dey allow kazeem do trial and error with your car.
Buy a scanner. you can scan if u suspect any issues yourself and know first hand what is erong with your car.
Na you go even tell mechanic what you want him to do on the car.

OyigboUpdate will die of high BP this night

Why will u buy what will make u the target of armed robbers and car part thieves?
Don't u know the economy is getting worse and hence crimes will be on the increase?
And this corolla na thief magnet already.

But a car that will give u peace of mind biko.
