    Check engine comes up when accelarate beyond 2000 RPM

    in HONDA SRI LANKA

    Posted · Edited by Chanaka Gunawardena

    Due to reduced performance, rough idle and random engine knocks I thought of doing an Engine tuning last weekend. My check engine issue was there all this time and I didn't try to fix it.

    Since the person who does the engine tuning good with identifying issues with the scanner, I asked him to have look. As @PerfMad explain to me, we found OBD1 green color 3 pin connector hidden near ECU in a cover on passenger side. (Mystery solved)

    I had 3 error codes related to MAP sensor & Both Knock Sensors. (Not sure the engine has 2 knock sensors) MAP sensor error went away after the cleaning and we checked it while driving and results looks normal (No sensor replacement required). It seems like both knock sensor wires were unplugged since no data can be read from the scanner. Found one located in the back of the engine just above the oil filter I have to take the car to a different mechanic to find and connect the wires first.

    I will update the thread once this is done.

    Check engine comes up when accelarate beyond 2000 RPM

    Hi Experts,

    I'm using a honda civic ek3 for past 8 years. YOM 1996 and currently 214690 on the ODO (D15B EFI Engine / Manual)

    My problem is now when i accelerate beyond 2000 RPM and hold it in there (In Idle & Also while driving) check engine comes up. I don't notice any difference in drive or fuel consumption when this happens. Once I turn off the ignition check engine sign disappear. If I keep it under 2000 RPM check engine sign never show up.

    Funny thing is no one can find a OBD1 or OBD2 port on the car to scan it. So scanning the car is not possible.

    Today I have changed the TPS as instructed by my mechanic. But issue was still same.

    I  haven't done a engine tuneup in a while but since there is no problem with fuel efficiency & engine performance i don't think it's necessary. (Correct me if i'm wrong)

    Fuel filter haven't been changed for the entire time.

    Services are done on correct mileage and recent one done on last week.

    Did the emission test last week and no problems in that report.

    Can someone help me to figure out what's going on with my car ?

    Thanks in advance !

    Ek3 Vi Starting Issue

    in HONDA SRI LANKA

    I think am experiencing the same issue. Morning start never fails but after drive and try to start ONLY some times it takes a while to start.

    leaving the car for few minutes will do the trick. Could it be ECT sensor ?

    CIVIC Ferio - EK3 (ML)- Normal Auto - 1997

    Check the starter motor solonoide and starter motor condition before moving into sensor replacement.

    Ek3- Radiator , A/c Condenser

    Looks like the A/C place not did a proper job on your vehicle. Check the cooler and A/C filter for leaks and check the condition of the cooler. Pressure can be build up because of any existing blocks on the system. But on a full service they should remove everything and clean them to prevent any blockage. The original small condenser is not enough for the heat we have on these days. But it's not very bad either if it's in good condition. Did a full service yesterday for my EK3 which has a smaller condenser.

    Recondition original cooler - Rs. 6500/=

    A/C filter - Rs. 850/=

    They had bigger condensers for Rs.6500/=

    Yes, Bad CV joints can make your car wobble in high speeds. Had the same issue with my EK3. Replaced the CV joints and it went away. Cheapest ones will cost you around Rs.3000/=

    Leaky Radiator Tank Help

    in General

    Posted

    I faced a simillar issue on my EK3 and in my case it was the bottom tank which was leaking. It was made by plastic as same as yours. Getting it done by copper was expensive and they told me it's impossible to weld copper and aluminum and they're going to use a glue to fix it. But I was lucky to find a fiber guy who did a perfect job by removing it and puting a fiber coat from inside and from outside. He said the fiber mixure is changed to stay on high temperatures and since then I had no issues with it. This was done in Galle and cost me Rs. 6500/=

    Playing games on a laptop for last 3 year. Already fried the motherboard once. :speechless-smiley-004:

    I will agree with Reckless. In a laptop your're pretty much stuck and if it's a desktop there is no limit to the hardware possibilities.

    Finally, this is the place you need to be if you are in to latest hardware
