Honda Accord 2.4 VTI Thailand 2005 Engine Oil/Transmission/O2 Sensor

[shaheerahmadrind]

Recently purchased a Honda Accord 2005 Thai Variant. I need to know the following:

1) Best Engine Oil. The car's mileage is 175K.
2) Got a check light for O2 sensor that's linked with the Exhaust. Changed it thrice because after driving for 50-60 km the check light comes back. What's the way forward? Any sensible auto electrician who understands this kind of issue of accords.
3) Car struggles while switching to 2ng gear on low rpm but as soon as the RPM goes up it gives a scary jerk. Am I supposed to change the gear oil and filter? Got the valve body checked it looks perfectly fine.

5w30 grade, choose any reputable brand.
Buy a brand new o2 sensor.
When the last time gear oil changed?

[Xulfiqar]

What code were you getting that you are busy throwing oxygen sensors at it?

[shaheerahmadrind]

No idea about when it was changed as i recently purchased it.

[shaheerahmadrind]

p1034 and p1157

[Hassan1991]

It is always a good idea to change all the lubes after new purchase.
Both codes are related to o2, and it's P0134.

[shaheerahmadrind]

Yes, I am planning to change the gear oil and filter. Just worried about the O2 issue.
Electrician also experimented by changing the ECU as in his opinion it was ECU that's faulty but that didn't work either.

[Hassan1991]

Have you checked the wiring?

[Xulfiqar]

You need to check the wiring integrity first, 0134 is code for dead sensor. And 1157 is missing heater signal,

Probably munched wiring.

Always exhaust all options before changing sensor.

[shaheerahmadrind]

apparently the electrician named Heera has checked the wiring as well and in his opinion there were minor issues but no big issue. Honda Airport Rd referred me to this guy. His shop is in RA Bazar.

Xulfiqar bhai can you please suggest me a good auto electrician or if you want to look into it yourself I can bring it to you.

If you are from lahore @syncview can help you.

Got the old ECU and O2 sensor back and driven it for around 250 kms. Car is running fine with no engine check light so far. Jerk during shifting to 2nd gear on 1700-1800 RPM is still there but its intensity and frequency have been reduced a lot. will keep posting the updates unless and until the car becomes hassle free.

[Hassan1991]

Wiring was the issue?
Your ecu got a reset. Let it learn

[shaheerahmadrind]

While we were investigating the issue it was also found that the current was fluctuating on its way to the O2 sensor. The electrician fixed the wiring but also replaced the ECU and the new ECU behaved weirdly. So I got the old sensor and ECU back and the car is behaving normally since then.

Update:
1) Got gear oil and filter changed Honda DW1. The old gear oil was very dirty.
2) Engine Oil changed 5w30 Kendall GT1.
3) No change in the gear jerk behavior and pick-up issue. Jerk now only comes when RPM is at 3000 or above RPM.
4) No pick till 2000 RPM when AC is on without AC it's better but still very much less keeping 2.4 DOHC in mind.
5) Took it to Honda Cavalry, they took it for a test drive and told me that the car's fuel pump isn't giving enough pressure and the jerk in the 2nd gear is also because of that. The same happened to one of my previously owned Reborns. Not sure if it's the same case with the accord. I told them that I replaced the fuel filter (Brand: Honda with CM5 written on Box) from Iqbal Autos and Pump (Brand HKT Made in Japan written on it)Bilal Autos Neela Gumbad. I was told that you must get its original fuel pump complete assembly either from bilal gunj or from Dubai.
6) Check-Light of the Oxygen sensor came back a day before yesterday while driving it on Ring Road. The electrician near my home reset it for now because Eid is approaching and asked me to bring the car after Eid. Weirdly There's no issue with the fuel average. 400 km in the city till the reserve light turns on. Forgot to ask him about the exact code because I was in hurry and with family.
7) The car's self-motor doesn't take current sometimes but as soon as I try shifting from P to N/D/R/1/2/D3 and bring it back to P the current reaches the self-motor and the car gets started immediately. Inquired about it from an electrician he told me this issue comes when the gear selector/liver/button is faulty.

You probably are visiting wrong mechanics.

[shaheerahmadrind]

Would be forever grateful if you could connect me with the right people.
