Hey guys, I got civic x turbo used recently, I'm facing issue in the car pickup. Overall its great but sometimes I feel there is a slight missing. Its not going as smooth pickup. Mostly I feel this in high speed or in high rpm. Thoughts what can be done?

Check the spark plugs, they probably need to be replaced

Checked they were replaced recently. They are fine.

Means connect with computer and check stats. If yes then got that tested last week. Re-set everything from configuration step by step. Still facing issue.

Additionally, Which is best honda service center in Lahore or any other private but specialised who can study and sort out this issue?
Don't mention honda gateway please.

What is mileage

When plugs were changed

Which oil grade and fuel type is used .

Talking about live logging of sensors data.

moeen.a.rana (Moeen Rana) 2021-04-28 18:22:11 +0500 #9

Mileage is 65k
Plugs changed on 60k.
Honda standard oil 0W20 using
Fuel tried super only, then mix 50/50 super and high octane and only high octane. No difference in drive but I get better milage with high octane.

Yes the electrician tried that and Monitored readings while driving too. But may be he was not Capable enough to identify the issue.
As per him all the sensor readings are in required range. Can you tell which exact value we can see, so next time I'll check that.

It difficult to tell you that without looking at the data.
If you can take pictures and share them here, then we can look at it and give your our feedbacks.

I had same issue n was resolved by putting new spark plugs. Did you change plugs from dealership?

jklodhi (jklodhi) 2021-04-28 19:43:09 +0500 #13

Seems plugs might be the reason. Get it checked from authorised 3S dealer .

moeen.a.rana (Moeen Rana) 2021-04-28 22:46:28 +0500 #14

Bro I bought used car month ago and get that checked from Honda they said plugs are fine. Not sure if they were replaced by Honda or others, but I can recheck that.
Any suggestion which Honda dealership is better in Lahore? And which plugs to use? I can get any brand from my friends shop too as honda charges at least 1.5 times higher on parts.

moeen.a.rana (Moeen Rana) 2021-04-28 22:48:04 +0500 #15

Ok. Any suggestion with your experience which 3S authorised dealer is good in Lahore?

Dear i changed plugs last month from honda..11200 for plugs n 1000 labor charges..my fuel average imroved n missing gone..i am sure previous owner had not changed them.It is advised to change them only from dealership ..turbo plugs prices are lower at dealership n peace of mind too.In market people were asking around 15 16k for plugs.I am quite sure its plug issue .its very common in turbo.

moeen.a.rana (Moeen Rana) 2021-04-30 04:14:27 +0500 #18

Ok thanks. Ill get them replaced and see.
What about catalytic converter cleaning? That is also required?

Clogged cat doesn’t normally induce missing, it impacts power delivery. Considering the car has been on super and mixture, it’s a good time to get cat cleaned. 60k on our fuel is a lot!

moeen.a.rana (Moeen Rana) 2021-05-01 06:38:14 +0500 #20

I visited honda gateway in Lahore and only inquired about cat cleaning, they said sorry we don't do this.

Seriously...

I'll visit some other S3 dealer and then get my car checkup. I'm now facing power loss as well and fuel average is going down too.

Checked NGK spark plugs they are available in Rs 8400 for 4. So I'll buy them and try to check their resistance reading to be around 5k (if they got meter and allow me to test).
