Guys I need your help on this.

The car came in and realised some few works needed to be done on the body so someone took me to his panel beater who promises to do a decent job. His words were, he will remove the chair, the rug and fix the rust part as well as the silencer that is already broken.

When its time to pick the car, we discovered that he has burnt some cables just by the driver seat, the cables run from the engine to the hybrid battery and according to the man, he went ahead to start the car even without separating the melt cable and the car worked for that moment, since then it has not come up.

A quite number of engineers mechanic has been invited also some rewires, about three machines has diagnose the car and couldn't detect anything. What they are doing is guess work and one of them insist on opening up the engine saying it could be it jumped timing but we insisted on them not opening the engine except if they are very sure but because they aren't, they couldn't open the engine.

The location of the car is Ibadan.

Please help with some information that can lead to possible solution or recommend a specialist.

Thanks

Huh! These work men are very terrible and unprofessional when doing their job. How can wire burn cause timing to jump?. You need a very sound and professional rewire/mechanic to help out. Just contact gazzuzz/ others here for proper job

Search for Timifakay. He is in ibadan.

If it has jumped timing ,carry out a simple pressure test to eliminate that . I guess the car is cranking , u solution might be to check all the live data inputs when cranking

What's your location ?

About 4 different rewires has been called and detects nothing, they keep saying o shock, omu epo wa, ko de si error lori e, mechanical problem nii so one one of the mechanics summon courage to open the head.

Hen why not trace and replace all the burnt wires ?

We're on it, the engineer said its not the timing but rather the gasket, he has gone to get it but yet to get back.

He billed 12k for the gasket replacement among other things he requested to buy.

We learn everyday.

The engineer couldn't get the gasket and was told its even rare in lagos, any help where I can get 2008 Honda Civic gasket.

I tell you, extreme stupidity to the core.

Sorry for all the mess...I pray & hope your car gets back agile and solid soonest.

Let me get this straight. A panel beater using a gas welding cylinder mistakenly fried some wires underneath the drivers seat, car refused to start and that action burnt the top cylinder head gasket of the engine? Amazing

He worked on the silencer, according to him, after he burn the cables, he ignite the engine without separating them and that was the last time the car ignited.

The rewire couldn't see any fault.
Called another one who said the battery (hybrid) is flat and needed 25k to charge it, when asked if he's certain it will work if he's paid then he disappeared.

The third rewire couldn't detect any fault too but insisted its mechanical. He link up the engineer that is currently working on it and this one said the car did not jumped timing but instead has a burnt gasket.

This is the timeline of the car.
I would believe the gasket part because the car came from lagos with a broken silencer and the driver laced up the AC. When I took a test drive, without AC, the car run fairly smooth but when the AC was on, the engine sound differently, steering vibrates and the car run badly so I took the car to the panel to fix the broken silencer and little body work only to burn the cables, went ahead to ignite which he confirmed worked only for it to refuse igniting after his work was done.
