did you read my post or you just jumped out to criticise. When you have check engine light flashing, what does it mean?

ksmart027:

Bros, i can see you get time to waste.

ZIMDRILL:



1 i didnt critises you? i asked a simple question that not criticising

2 check engine flashing is not a misfire, its a sign to say a fault has been detected and ECU has been kept in memory, a scan should be done to read the code which as has been recorded by the ECU aka brainbox

What's this one saying

PaulH07:


Hmmmm...can I get a proper technician come to Jalingo from Abuja

I have this feeling I'm actually killing the car, and the mechanics just dey use my car learn work ooo...

chukel:
then it's time to invest in knowledge of your car. Get a scanner. Do lots of readings. Get repair manual for Honda accord. Become your own mechanic and enjoy your car.

You need to understand that most people you find in Car Talk section forming "Experts" only know what wrench or screwdriver looks like from Google images, let alone physically touched or used one. So always have that understanding when visit here and decide to debate them.

Practically, flashing/blinking check engine light doesn't mean it must be engine misfire issue, as far as Peugeot Injection systems are concerned.

I have diagnosed and repaired Nigerian used Peugeot vehicles with severe abused engine wiring harnesses that had their check engine lights blinking constantly, which had nothing to do with engine misfire.

I have diagnosed and fixed Peugeot vehicles with blinking CELs that had nothing to do with engine misfire, but sometimes an indication of some stored faults in Injection ECUs needing attention or even when something is wrong the ECU itself.

Yes, a misfire on one or more cylinders usually blink the check engine lights (one of the symptoms), but doesn't mean every CEL blinking symptom is caused by engine misfire on Peugeot Injection/ignition systems.

People who rely or based their knowledge on online opinions when it comes to Solutions to car issues are disconnected from practical solutions and reality. Information passed online on cars are mostly generalisation using one or two opinions as a standard, while the rest are just repetition of what others said.

flashing CEL is almost always a misfire. Check it anywhere.

Hello fellas!

I don come with my wahala again, but that's the life of a first timer taking care of this wahala called car.

Well I successfully put my ride back in shape but here are issues I'm now facing:

1. My MIL(check engine) light was previously blinking anytime I drive, but after some mechanical works today, it has stayed put any time I'm driving. I browsed the internet for some info and found out a faulty airflow meter usually causes it. Actually a part of my airflow meter is broken anyway due to the accident, which makes the car make noise like trailer.

blinking MIL light is usually a misfire but I think it’s only visible when you have no prior MIL before the indication. If you had a steady MIL light before a misfire occurs your MIL should still stay on steady. It’s possible after your kazz worked he has used his left hand to attach something or forgot it totally hence the steady MIL. You might still have a misfire and wouldn’t know it

Was told an airflow meter goes for about 10k, bear in mind I reside in Taraba state.

2. Anytime I drive, my drive D keeps blinking, even after refilling the transmission oil with 1L of transmission oil, as i saw on the net as well that it's the commonest cause of a blinking D on the dashboard. Wetin una think?
if your gear is still manageable you can order the original fluid DW1 and flush. 4 cans should do. Just take out 4 liters in there and replace with the new ones. Why you shouldn’t do a full flush is because it may damage the gearbox since you don’t trust the prior fluid in there. Then you will clean the solenoids. All of them if possible plus the transmission filter. Doing this and the gear is still misbehaving then it might be an electrical issue. The wiring will be checked. If the gear still drives then there’s hope.

3. Sometimes the car goes off itself while driving yesterday, and was diagnosed today as one of the plugs being faulty. Had the whole 3 of the front plugs changed today and it hasn't gone off itself since then. But there's this low sound it makes while it's on idle, as if it wants to go off, before going back to it's normal sound again. This sounds is worsened anytime I switch on my AC. Make una epp me check am out!
this means your engine stalls. Maybe worse under load. Your spark plugs, MAF or IACV might be the culprit. Check your plug coils and wiring too.

4. Finally the Brake light keeps showing, despite the Brake working perfectly. This is giving me serious concern as the info I got on the net says it means the brake isn't working as it's supposed to. Checked the "master slender" as they called it for the brake oil, and saw the brake oil is reduced. Yet to top it up, but I go still like know weda anything apart from brake oil fit cause am, to be prepared before hand.

[b] is your brake still working well? If it’s working okay then there are some likely causes of that light staying permanently on. Have you checked your handbrake? Does it go down fully when depressed? Does it hold the car? You will have to take off the center divider to check it’s wiring. There’s a sensor located at the base of the handbrake, check if it’s good by unplugging it. If the light still stays on then that’s not the issue and your handbrake is working fine. Next check your brake fluid reservoir, open it and look under the cap, there’s a rubber there, is it pushed into the cover or popped out? If it’s out then gently push it in. It helps keep pressure in the reservoir and when it’s pooped out it confuses the float. The again there’s a float at the button of the reservoir where a wire connects to its sensor. Sometimes the sensor might be bad or the float stuck. To unstick the float take a small spammer and hit the top of the reservoir firmly a few times and check. If the light stays on then unplug the wire from the socket and it should go off. If it still stays on then your problem is from elsewhere and your reservoir is fine. Meaning your master cylinder is okay. Lastly check your brake pads and calipers. One might be sticking or there’s a leak in your brake lines and it’s lost pressure[/b]

Thank ya'll for the comments in my previous post. Abeg make una epp me put mouth for this one too ooo!

Nagode soose!

For brake please top up the brake fluid.

Once my camry fluid is low it shows brake sign on dashboard.
