Please I have an Honda element 2005.
It jerks when it wants to change gears(or in motion) and when it wants to start jerking the steering wheel drags to the right.
I have tried scanning it but u keep getting the message ERROR CODE NOT STORED ON THIS MODULE.
Any help please?

Sincere apologies sir but I do not know how they convert a PS system to manual.
However my advice is why not consider replacing the P/S rack with a good working one probably used considering cost?
because i have seen situations where mechanics will promise you heaven on earth. In the end sir na your money dey burn nob hin own. Also consult another mechanic pls...

I doubt if this is a scan issue. Find a competent Mechanic to help you check that vehicle sir.
Is the said vehicle auto or manual transmission?

Ah ah hanty... You are vexing o
Anyways most peeps dnt know how to fix that oil leak this is why its difficult suggesting a fix cuz if he meets a quack/cut neck Mechanic dey will just chop his head and build house on top ordinary steering rack. Reason i suggested replacement with a good toks unit

Auto transmission.
Mechanics seems to be guessing up and down.

What kind of scan tool did you make use of?
Did you scan the transmission or was it every module you could not access?

I used this one.
Or am I doing something wrong?

You might not be getting anything wrong. However just to be sure kindly find a more high end scan tool and try scan the modules again... Normally this should be able to scan it tho bt personally i dnt trust thes scanners.

Actually sir ,I think scanners like this are only limited to the Engine control module.

I get it. It's the insanity of repeated parts replacing and/or complete nigga-rig of cars that get me. I'm all for used parts and cheap labor but some things you hear mechanics tell people and they swallow it just...

And if they tell you 1 and it fails and they tell you 2 and it fails, do you really need to go to 8 before you decide it's too much?? All in the name of trying to save money when you could have spent a fraction of the cost at a reputable place to tell you what is wrong then take it elsewhere to get fixed.

Preach ma'am!! PREACH!!!

I have an Hyundai Elantra 2008. The acceleration is not proportional to its speed. When you accelerate, the car drags and never goes above 80km/h. At a point you'd hear a cranking sound from the engine.
Yes there's enough oil as it was serviced about 3weeks ago. Please what is the issue with it. Help a bro.

Many things could cause poor engine performance
1. Clogged/dirty air filter
2. Bad spark plugs
3. Faulty MAF
4. Weak fuel pump
5. Clogged/damaged catalytic converter
6. Weak engine (low cylinder compression)
7. Transmission problem...etc etc


Very very many things boss.
Its difficult to tell you exactly what is wrong. My suggestion would be for you to contact any technician here or around you to help diagnose the issue and fix it the right way...

A stuck open EGR valve can truly cause such problems since there would be unmetered exhaust gases within the cylinder. However how did he reach this conclusion?
If it is the EGR valve, rather than block it have you considered replacing it?
Though the EGR system is basically for emission purpose and in this partof the world we dont really care much about however kindly consider the best option before proceeding and ensure the job is done properly.
I would advice a replacement rather than blocking it sha. Bt thr choice is yours.

It was when he remove the EGR valve that he found out it open, so he suggested we do small welding around the edge of the spring so it will be permanently close.
