I experienced something unusual. My 2012 accord has had a p0420 for months and i was told i need to replace the catalyst. I drove through a pool of water over a week ago and the check engine light that had been on went off and hasn't come back on. Scanned the car and the error is no longer there. Wondering what the water had to do with it. 2 Likes |

Hello house If I want to change from water to coolant, is it okay to empty only the radiator and leave the one inside the engine? Cc: nurey Kingreign Dozieson |

I was sock today with my findings I took my exhaust manifold out. V6 accord The bank 1 downstream sensor was faulty all along . I have been using it like that for months. But when i took out both exhaust manifold the bank 1 exhaust was clear white/gray in color. Putting your finger inside to scrub it will not stain your finger. It look dried and clear and more like engine that is working properly. But the bank 2 exhaust manifold was black. Putting your finger to touch inside will stain your finger with black soot. The both exhaust manifold was the same black inside before the bank one became faulty. I called my mechanic attention to it and ask him this two which one is consuming fuel he said its the black soot one. But i told him that is the one the both O2 sensor is working. The other one inside was clear with all soot varnish is the one the downstream O2 sensor is not working. My findings is still not clear if its the sensor responsible? Could it be because of the faulty sensor? The car might be on lopes mode which reduces the fuel. If that is the case I might end up disconnecting the other downstream sensor. I need clarification on this finding and it might solve all fuel consumption. Thanks |

BoyiBernard:probably water enter the catalyst oxygen sensor and sock and wash out the carbon blockage 1 Like |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by BoyiBernard(m): 11:21am On Nov 13, 2023 |
Thanks! this may be the reason. Although it's back now and i want to find a solution. The catalyst is intact though and the error says "Catalyst system efficiency below threshold". fineboynl: |

BoyiBernard:oil or dirt carbon blocking the catalyst. Is you car shorting oil? The burnt oil carbon might be blocking it 1 Like |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by fineboynl(m): 3:15pm On Nov 13, 2023 |
nurey:not all. Some will still remain. But that one doesn’t matter it will mix with the coolant |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Conner44: 3:54pm On Nov 13, 2023 |
alaricsaltzman: First empty the radiator (loosen the drain plug under it) and once the radiator is completely empty switch on your engine for a few minutes until your temperature needle reaches the middle (I am assuming you have a thermostat) and once it reaches the middle you can then switch off the engine, replace the radiator drain plug and then proceed to fill up the radiator with the coolant. Start the engine again and leave the radiator cap open, once the coolant level goes down fill it up, keep filling it up till it's level then replace the cover. Remember to leave the coolant overflow container empty till after the engine has cooled down properly before you can now fill it up with coolant to the recommended level. DO NOT FILL THE COOLANT OVERFLOW CONTAINER UNTIL YOU HAVE PROPERLY BLED THE COOLING SYSTEM TO REDUCE THE RISK OF OVERHEATING |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Conner44: 3:55pm On Nov 13, 2023 |
fineboynl: You can drain all the water out from both the radiator and engine block before filling it with coolant. There are methods to these things. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Conner44: 3:57pm On Nov 13, 2023 |
fineboynl: If there's a thermostat installed it will block the water in the engine block from exiting except the engine gets hot enough to open up the thermostat. |

XPaul: If you changed your gearbox and it didn't work properly from first run then it will stay like that or get worse. Exchange it immediately, drain out the ATF (if its original) and use it to test the replacement. |
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Conner44: 4:01pm On Nov 13, 2023 |
yak: The difference in fuel consumption between those two vehicles is like night and day. |
