I notice my Check engine light comes up when my odometer get to 4rpm. it usually happens when am on the highway and picking up speed.

It's a Honda City 2007 vehicle. And engine does not change performance when it happens only jerks a lil

What could cause this??

You need to provide more info..
What car?
Model year?
does the check engine light disappear when you decelerate below 4000rpm?
Any change in engine performance when the check engine comes on?

You should get your car scanned.

Thanks for this

It's an Honda City 2007.

It doesn't change the performance but it sometimes just Jerks a lil and we are good to go.

It check engine light remains on. Even after the decelerating. But goes off when I put off the engine and put it on.

Only comes on when I accelerate above 4rpm due to gear changes. It's an automatic drive.

Power steering is stiff. Mechanic has changed steering pump and recently bled steering rack, but the steering is still stiff,
He said I might need to consider changing the Rack, is this the only solution

It's an electrical issue. My guess would be an ignition coil-related issue, but you never can tell till you run a scan.
Do that and we go from there. Scan the car after a good drive (not after parking the car overnight or for longer periods).

Sway bar

bad shocks

loosened suspension bolt

bent chassis

etc

So how do one knows if it is a bad shocks, I know I do hear some little bumpy not yet loud sound sometimes from the back when I'm slowing down or so
I've changed the four sway bars and Tyres and still getting good sway from the back of the Honda pilot on highways
... The current shocks still looks nice former owner seemed to changed them just last year or so (the four I guess)

Honda civic 2004. What is the pros and cons of the car. His it a good car to buy for a starting.
Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by osato45: 6:16am On Aug 11, 2020

Start by returning your previous radiator or if you have the equipment run a vacuum test on the oil cooler section of the radiator you bought. Also inspect transmission oil and engine oil for contamination
I found water bubbles in my transmission dipstick during my routine check and I had the cooler replaced as it was mounted on the transmission.

I also drained the transmission fluid and put new honda dw1 oil. Despite this I still see bubbles in my dipstick

your car is smoking, stand at the back of the car, have someone revive to 5k rpm, you will definitely see the smoke.

Hello!

If it is the high mileage, extended performance Mobil 1, DO NOT USE except your engine is leaking oil already.
By 'leaking oil', I mean engine oil minimally SEEPING out of some parts of the engine, giving it a wet appearance.

If your engine block and sump are dry and free of engine oil seepage, continue with the normal full synthetic Mobil 1.

Why?
The HIGH MILEAGE, extended performance Mobil 1 contains additives that swell up your oil seals. The aim is to improve the competence of the seals in a high mileage engine (some of which are likely to have started allowing oil seep through).
However, the unintended consequence of using the oil in an engine not yet leaking oil is compromise of the integrity of intact seals....and they will soon start seeping oil.

I do hope you understand. Good luck.
