dachoice: I believe you are gunning for a Nigerian used (looking at your budget) It is a good car. Reliable Engine and gearbox.very reasonable luxury, given the age. Watch out for: Engine oil sludge in engine(as a result of bad maintenance). a tell tale sign will be an inspection of the engine oil cover. Cracked exhaust manifold that will give a notorious P0171 trouble code(System too lean) Suspension noise Rust. Please note that fuel consumption will be higher than the camry you used previously. |

Mr. Motorguru, i throw salute o. Weldone for the good job. Pls i have an old Honda 1993 (halla), i discovered that it now brings out blue smoke when I start it in the morning after it has been parked for 2 days or more, then once i start driving, the blue smoke stops and begins to drip water from the exhaust, i have asked opinions from technicians and they told me different things, one mechanic said i should use an adoptor for one of my plugs, another said it is valve seal i need to change, one said i should be getting ready to change the whole engine as it cannot be ringed. Right now iv am tired and confused, pls what exactly do i have to do to get this solved once and permanently? Thanks a lot. |

I drive a Honda Accord 2007 (DC). I notice that at about 100-120km/h speed, there's a feel of vibration felt on the steering wheel while at it and this also applies when applying the brake at this speed or when driving down a slopy terrain. The former isn't felt at all at any speed below 100. Please, what could be the cause? Thank you |
Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by Nobody: 11:21am On Mar 09, 2019 |
PDF: I'll start with wheel balancing for the vibration at 100-120km/hr, rotors for the vibration when braking. 1 Like |

But one day I noticed strange sounds from the engine while a road side mechanic who worsen the case of this car changed the camshaft and set the verbs but the sound still persisted so he noticed the metal or may be its called mental i don't know is causing the problem so after changing that the ending sounds cool but the car won't accelerate after it's been select to drive... It won't move as it suppose to and the temperature ain't normal either.... Different kind of rewires have worked on it still the same so a mechanic complained bout work the Celinda with the stupid fault engine detector so they work on it and it works but the problem return the following day. They said they need to set the ferbs cuz there's a sound its making they've been unable to fix that and now the gear is hooked not until I press a button beside the gear manually thats when I can put it on drive...

Re: Your Motor Guru Is Here! Ask Your Questions... by ojeysky(m): 9:27pm On Mar 19, 2019 |
rhymz: I guess you meant doesn't cool well, I experienced this with my Yaris and my guess was that it's because I do not have the ambient sensor for the AC installed (I just could not find the connect it after I bought the sensor)....I resolved to using an external thermostat. Now it cools better in the afternoon. |
