Help!! Brake And Quench(car Stops Once The Fuel Goes Down) by speedfreak(m): 11:26am On Jun 27, 2018 |
Morning nairalanders, I drive a 97 Honda Accord (bulldog) that recently developed a problem that 5 different mechanics haven't been able to fix, the car drives perfectly but once the fuel drops to the 2nd line to reserve the car stops when you press the brakes, it's starts right back up and drives for a while without stopping then it stops, the lower the fuel, the more times it stops. Replaced fuel pumps, injectors, gearbox etc as per mechanic instructions but all to no avail. Last mechanic said just manage it like that but it's burning a huge hole in my pocket, as a student I use 5k to fill up for the week and top up on weekends when I go out at night total 7k,but with this issue I spend Close to 10k weekly. Pls help or mention someone who can help Ps. Located in Jos, plateau state |

Have u tried generating the fault code using a vehicle scanner? Scanning gives a clearer picture of what to do not guessing as some mechanic tends to operate. Get ur vehicle scanned by an experienced technician,who knows how to interprete and work on fault codes. |

Me think, your problem is something that has to do with engine load here, vis-à-vis electrical. You have changed all mechanical and some bit of electrical stuffs, and same results. For that car, try replacing the camshaft sensor, if it has one on the cylinder head. Oooops, I forgot. Your car has an ignition system with plug wires. That means the camshaft sensor is in the distributor system. The sensor is part of that component. So, replacing it means, replacing the entire distributor. Doesn't cost much though. Secondly, you might be having something to do with some of the wiring harnesses related to the ignition system, or the fuel system. For the ignition system, try check the wires routing from the ECU to the crankshaft/camshaft sensors. Some of the wires in between the crankshaft pulley, may be lying on the engine block-hot surface. That would chamfer the signal wire there. On the fuel side, check the fuel pump relay at the hood. A failing fuel pump relay, especially on Honda brands, can be frustrating. ***check all the wiring harnesses related to the fuel and ignition system. When you have an intermittent short circuits like what you're experiencing in my view, it takes time to diagnosed. Terribly sorry for the theft of your car dude! Better one's on its way for ya! And finally! I hope you can decipher this one!? "I dan Yesu yana sama, kar ka ji soro"! JAH bless, and JAH guide man. Regards, Joseph 08066643532(call/WhatsApp) 2 Likes |

Sounds like the fuel level sensor is gone. also check the fuel pressure regulator if its still working well. also the fuel filter may be very dirty and when you get below a certain level of fuel more debris from the fuel tank is circulated into it. so check those 3. 1 Like |
