GAZZUZZ:




car a/c issues are often not very easy to fix remotely. This is because apart from the symptoms, there are no values to work with.

With the right amount of refrigerant the a/c system should work fine, but a change in any of the following will cause symptoms you just mentioned.

* malfunctioning cooling fans

* excessive or over fill of refrigerant

* blocked condenser (externally and internally)

* defective compressor

* poorly welded piping

* defective expansion valve

* defective dryer receiver.

What is very common in this part of the world is a defective compressor.

Good Morning @Gazzuzz please while driving this morning, my honda civic 2002 just went off. After several efforts to start it, it finally did. What could be the problem?

Good Evening everyone. Please my Honda Civic wasn't starting, the mechanic fixed a new fuel pump and filter, serviced the injector and it was working fine. But I noticed after a while and when I put the AC on, it drags. I also can't accelerate past 2000 RPM. Please what could be the problem?

I've attached a photo of the diagnostic report I did two weeks ago.

Hello, please house i'll like to know if my Toyota Sienna 03 power steering pump could be repaired instead of buying a new one? Making a turn takes so much power and gives me chest pain. I was told it costs #18000 which i don't have now. Please is it repairable?

that's interesting...what tyre size was "too heavy" for the vehicle? was it different from the recommended tyre size initially?

i have same honda pilot 2012 but it has a slightly different issue from what was posted. i think i need to run a scan so I'm looking for someone that can scan (and possibly fix) HONDA PILOT 2012 in Lagos lekki axis.

will appreciate any referral

My car was having exactly the same issue through this week until i found the culprit today. One of the tyres was too heavy. Changed the tyre and everything became normal. You can try to check your tyres too.

The inner wall of the tyre was layered with something that looks like coal tar. That added to the weight of the tyre. Gave it to a vulcanizer who removed the stuff from the tyre and the issue disappeared. Wheel balancing and alignment check can help you detect the bad tyre or better still change all your tyres before doing alignment and balancing

Biko i have a serious issue with my 2007 honda civic MAF. The MAF only works when I just start the car and cuts out few minutes after causing my engine not rev pass 3000rpm as this then cause poor acceleration and gear not shifting properly.

I have bought 2 different Hitachi follow come MAF and they act this way. Only works at car start up and car restart whenever it cuts out.

Please what do you think is the problem??

Brainbox??

Because not really enjoying the car again as it doesn't take off asap again on a slow down since the engine doesn't have that powerful rev at such situation

There is no technical info in your writeup. Are you using a diagnostic tool for the job?
