My Akura 3.5RL Not Accelerating Efficiently.... Please I Need Your Help by jpride(m): 2:46pm On Aug 03, 2017 |
Recently i noticed that my car acceleration is bad. It accelerates fine when it wants to but at a point it just stop. It will look as if the trottle is not even raising. It will sound as if there is no fuel but there is fuel. It sometimes pick from there again or engine goes off. What could be the problem ![]() |

Clean your fuel tank and nozzle and get another pump, preferably tokunbo or an original Honda fuel pump and trust me your problem is solved. |

dycee01: LOL, this is basically what kazeems recommend whenever a car has power loss issue.. CHANGE FUEL PUMP. Sometimes u can even change up t 5 fuel pumps and the problem persists. @op, run a scan on ur car. This is a Honda, sometimes a bad 02 sensor can cause loss of power (that dreaded p0139). A bad airflow meter and faulty ecu can also cause it. No point throwing parts, get the car scanned as 9 out of 10 kazeems will tell u fuel pump is the culprit. |

Mr Coscharis junior a.k.a encyclopedia of power loss issues and knower of kazeems...is it too hard for you to drop your two cents in and just go. He replaced the fuel pump it worked and later failed again, the reason most people put alot of fuel pumps is either because its fake or they dont find out what is spoiling the pump. Most times its dirt or lead present in our bad nigerian fuel. So changing a pump without knowing what spoil it in the first place will lead you to switching and switching of pumps.

dycee01: Relax man, no insults intended in my comment. I already game my opinion do a scan as lots of things can cause this, not just throwing parts without diagnosing. |

I actually took the car to an auto electrician yesterday. The fuel pump is damaged because there is water in the petrol tank. Seem like it's the water that destroyed the pump. He flushed it out, cleaned the injectors and replaced the fuel pump. It is performing well now though still test running 1 Like |
