remi4ever:


Still on the issue of my erratic idling.
So yesterday I got a new fuel pump, routine maintenance I noticed the filter on the old one might have been clogged. I also changed the O ring on my brake booster it was old and started to leak air. P

After changing pump and drove a few kms, it started idling terribly like it's about to turn off around 500rpm or even lower, even on N same thing happens but less frequently. So I unplugged the ECT on the engine chassis and it went back to normal albeit high around 1.5RPM, it also drove very smooth and responds well BWWWAAHHHH.

I'm trying to get another ECT to test with because I do not have any cold start issue, temp guage works fine, but when I was in heavy traffic yesterday evening I noticed the guage seemed to be moving constantly from the middle position, up and down slowly. You'd have to look at the guage to observe it.. I cannot drive without the ECT because it'll be running Rich.

Any suggestions or ideas will be appreciated.

Clean the tip of the sensor then run a resistance test with a multimeter to confirm it's fine before replacing.

Removing the thermostat is wrong and this indicates that you haven’t solved the main issue. You need a good mechanic.

Really? So, what could be wrong? I travelled this morning with the car and everything is fine. I still have the thermostat though

I think replacing the thermostat to new one is better than removing it

So you think that all the car manufacturers (every single one, incuding INNOSON) that put thermostat in the cars are stupid, abi? You and your kazeems are smarter, abi? Ok, kontinuu. I can't have this thermostat argument again. Your car, your rules.

If its an old car from yewr 2000 to 2010,abeg leave am like that. Install thermostat sheybibu dey find trouble. E go later overheat and trust me,overheating na end of engine.

I'm not arguing. I only presented the issue as is and the solutions proffered. My location is somehow remote and getting certain parts can be very difficult. I'll replace it once I'm able to get a new one to buy.

Your advice is well appreciated

Good evening house, pls I really need help in identifying the correct transmission box for my 2007 Honda pilot Ex-L 4wd , I bought the first gear box and after installing it the key starter couldn't rotate the engine while the previous one work as we remount it , now I've sent the gear box back to the dealer and how to select the correct gear box now is an issue.

I don't believe this should be an issue.
Take clear pics of what you took out and buy an exact replacement.

Big issue oo, lots of Honda transmission boxes looks like , if you go with that picture of a thing you will fail , the one that is removed and the new one I previously bought look alike picture wise but not the same .

One of the reasons the engine would not spin when you mounted the replacement transmission would most likely be if the flywheel was installed wrongly, the keyholes don't align properly on the mating surfaces, the torque converter is stuck in the bell housing. If all those things checks out fine, you shouldn't have issues.
Your technician should be in the best position to know all this.

I'm hearing for the first time that Honda has more than one gearbox variant for that same engine in the same model year. I believe the people you buy the tranny from should know more than many of us here. They should know all the gearbox variants the car comes with. So why don't they give you the correct tranny, instead of coming here to ask us. They should also educate you, so you can educate us.

Thank you for response, the flywheel,converter was even later taken from my previous gearbox for the new gearbox yet it didn't work . The mechanic did lots of interchange to make it function but to no avail, I'll soon be going back to pick another gear box from the seller.
