How can one add aftermarket available oil pressure gauge in dashboard....I mean how to make connections for making it functional?

[pwuser162557941033]

I have a counterfeit (fasht copi) GReddy digital oil pressure gauge. It has connections for +12V, GND, and lights, as well as a digital sender that is wired into wherever it can receive oil pressure. In my case, it's a "sandwich" style adapter that screws into the oil filter thread. That's all you need, really.

It's marked in units from 0 - 10.0 x100kPa, which you may need to get used to.

Because it's a fake, however, it reads ±5psi, now that I've verified using the analog oil pressure gauge.

[brownrose78]

Can you paste picture of it?
So it means even your fake is giving right readings?

6 psi is too low, these engines generate 10-20 psi of oil pressure at 800 rpm with w30/w40 engine oils

[pwuser162557941033]

Are you sure this includes the F6A SOHC? Idle RPM is supposed to be set to 950±50rpm. Could you please explain why 6 psi is too low?

I'd like to know, because the engine manual states only to measure oil pressure at 4000rpm. No mention of any significance of idle oil pressure. And how would that manifest in possible symptoms? The engine runs just fine, but maybe I'm missing something.

A suggestion for the admins.
This thread is difficult to track the discussion topic because different issues are being discussed at a time.
2nd problem is single thread having multiple discussions is bad for search and SEO point of view.

With that in mind, there shouldn't be a thread like this. Instead, a new thread for a new problem or topic is better and clean. If someone need Xulfiqar's help, they can tag him in the thread.

[brownrose78]

My personal suggestion is to leave it as it is because here users discuss different portions.

Search engine has capability to filter as per one's need.

It will be difficult for @xulfiqar to answer each one who tags him...On this thread, other members other than Xulfiqar also gives their opinion

AoA. I have a 9th Gen civic, driven 120K, first hand. Car has suddenly started showing Check Exhaust System error on the screen and does not go beyond 30 km when you drive it for sometime. If you keep a hard foot on the pedal, it will accelerate but will get slow again once you hit the break. I got it checked and he reset the fault code. Worked well for almost a day and the error is back on. Got it checked again from Honda and they say that they will have to repair the computer, which will cost around 25K. Second option is to replace the computer with a new one, which will cost upwards of 150K. I am also attaching the fault code. Please advise what could be the way forward. Thanks.

The error code is PO204 : No.4 Injector Circuit Malfunction

@Xulfiqar

[syncview]

this is a injector 4 wiring malfunction - check wiring and repair, if wiring is ok the injector maybe internally shorted in which case it should be replaced. Also running the car in this condition will melt the catalytic converter which may have already happened though given your description of the vehicles behavior

EDIT: so the wiring and injector has been checked and ruled out?

[exxorebel]

No the wiring has not been checked. Can you recommend a good workshop to take the car to?

I interacted with him in 2014 when I got my 1997 Civic's engine rebuilt from a desi style mechanic. He provided in depth advice about every aspect of the engine and the rebuilding process I was really amazed. The car is still running in Pakistan.

Honda Civic 1997 VTi Engine Overhaul ( over heating reducing oil)

I have a civic vti which is suffering from over heating. The needle goes up to the redline and stays there if i drive normally but when I decelerate or go down hill the needle come back down( eg when going down hill in the salt range the needle comes back to normal. The engine never had a head job or gasket change. I changed the radiator to double nali desi one some 5 years ago. I am getting oil in the radiator as well, burning a plug of one cylinder and oil reduction but the car is still half …

Belta 2006 with 2szfe consuming engine oil, it's like 1 liter after every 1500 to 2000 km.
Engine has 95000 km on it and am using 5w30 PSO Carient fully synthetic.

What would be the issue?
Thanks

Check pcv valve first

[sardarg]

95000 genuine milage or tampered JDM reading it is suggested to go for compression test dry and wet

[haroon.virk]

I checked PCV valve, the ball inside is moving.

[nwzixh147]

How much white smoke is there on cold start

[haroon.virk]

No white smoke.
I did compression test, will share video.

[haroon.virk]

@Xulfiqar @capsat
The values of the compression test are 130 to 135 psi.
