please, what could make my gear to stall while in motion. If I slow down, acceleration will be slow and it won't engage unless I switch off the car and restart it. Also, the ignition switch is trying to act funny. At times to put in the key to start becomes hard. Accord DC i4 |

Reelz: Was the transmission ever worked upon? If NO, pls check the wiring harness that sockets to the transmission. As for the TPS, you can get another installed. The sensor is on the throttle body. |

Horbar1: Vehicle stability control. You may have to carry out Zero point calibration but if you have performed it and it doesn’t go off, your ABS module or skid ECU may be having issues. |

Reelz: You’re welcome |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by kingreign(m): 8:02pm On Sep 23, 2022 |
shuri: Is your MDX a sports package? If Yes, then you have the ADS. If you’re not sure, you have to jack the car take off the wheel, look at the shocks and if you see a wiring which socket into the shocks, it’s an Active Damping System (ADS). 1 Like |

sounwave: Genuine plugs are not cheap. I know even far back 2years ago, genuine NGK or DENSO could cost up to ₦8,000. That said, ensure it’s a genuine sparkplug! |

How to tell if your car engine has sludge without opening the valve cover |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by koloqua(m): 4:01am On Sep 24, 2022 |
kingreign: My car is a Honda Civic 2006.. The problem started few days ago, after changing the oil the seller was using 20W-50 to the recommended oil 5W-20 It started bringing out smokes at cold morning, but now it's worse.. It brings out blueish color of smoke and follows me anywhere I drive to, and when I accelerate, the smoke gets much worse.. Please advise |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by kingreign(m): 7:21am On Sep 24, 2022 |
koloqua: You have caused harm to that engine. There’s a reason why we ask for maintenance history of a car and follow up on such. The 5W20 being either fully synthetic or semi-synthetic has detergents which has washed sludges that had formed over time from use of 20W50 and this has started allowing oil to pass through to the combustion chambers. Please, revert back to the oil 20W50 and if it does not stop, please get ready to either rebuild or replace that engine. |

codemaster2much:Dipstick, engine oil cap, borescope. |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by koloqua(m): 8:18am On Sep 24, 2022 |
kingreign: I guessed as much, In my defense the mechanic I used to service the car used a 2 different oil SAE-40 and another instead of the previous owner 20w-50, that's when the smoke started and then it will stop after a while, but as I reverted back to the engine own 5w-20, the smoke doesn't even stop anymore.. all this happened due to it been my first car and no experience at all . Any remedy ? Or I should revert back to the owner history of 20w-50? |

Hi boss Kingreign, I open my car oil filler cap while engine was running and noticed a louder sound and air blowing my hand when I place it there, what does this implies |
Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by kingreign(m): 10:54am On Sep 24, 2022 |
Kokomo: It’s normal. The pressure build up from the engine running causes the air to blow. |
