Singapore Honda Club

I'm having a big problem with my car. Problem is, I really know nuts about cars, so I don't even know where to start.

It all started with a problem with my gear stick. When I park the car, engage the gear to park mode, and pull my hand brake, I realize that I cannot remove my key. It gets jammed at the final "click". The only way to solve this is to again turn on the ignition, engage the gear to R or D, then again engage it back to P. When I do this, the car gives a loud sound coming from the gear, like I forced it into D mode. But after that, I can turn the key all the way and remove it.

Now it's worse. At traffic lights when I'm stationary (gear remains at D.), the car suddenly jerks. It will jerk roughly at one second intervals.Tone only way to stop is to step off the brake, and tap the accelerator forward. Then when the car stops again, it doesn't jerk anymore.

But the bigger problem is that when it happens, and I tap the accelerator, the car for a brief second Has no power. I step on the accelerator, and it feels like othe engine was off. Then it will immediately give off a loud roar, and jerk forward. This happens roughly between 2 to 5 times a week.

I've blown a lotvof money at Kah Motors, and they say they can't find what's
wrong. Sobs.

Can anyone help, please??

the "jerk thing" might be one of your spark plugs misfiring properly...
open it up and have a look....

the "no power" thing also ive encounter...
what i do it reset my ecu... make sure air fuel ratio the same....?
do my normal serving.
and its back to normal.

abt the keys, no idea?

I just replaced all 4 spark plugs at Kah Motors upon their suggestion. It didn't work.

The ECU has also been reset.

Today I sent it in again and they said it might be flywheel that's faulty and causing the jerkiness and loss of power.

What do you guys think? It's quite expensive to replace, so I don't want to change it just to experiment.

have you tried resetting the autobox ecu??? theres a ecu for the cvt box, it might be a very worn start up clutch

why u dont go n look for the pro man????

Huh? Who's the pro man? *confused*

I sent it to Kah Motors twice. Got more pro than them one meh? Lol...

Also, the spark plugs are newly installed by Kah Motor. So by right shd be fine.

They said the faulty flywheel causes loss in power between the transmission and the engine. Repairs would cost upwards of 500. Anyone got better lobang or suggestion?

sorry , the pro man is my new mechanic Eric, he help me to make my car better in perfomance.... call him at HP:94894845.... he is in this line for more than 20years very experience .... I m also introduce to him by my frez n bro Adriano....

hi, would like to run a check, how much does it cost to do an ECU reset? I believe mine setting for starter clutch also got problem due to a recent battery change.

CALL HIM LAH , I DUNNO HE DO OR NOT

ecu reset? free maaaa
or u mean reflash ?

theres a engine ecu reset and a cvt gearbox reset, both are diff method, go to fitjazzclub to do a search, search is free

ha... He's previously a senior mech from Kah motor... Good guy...

Firstly, if KM charged you but problem was not resolved, u can always go back bang table... if u really feels like being taken a ride, go straight to Small Claims.

2ndly, since all these problem has certain relation to gearbox, have you or your mechanic ever wander/check on the sensor? The first problem about the key unable to pull out actually gives you a very good hint that it might be due to the sensor.

For the jerking problem, can I ask if there has been any modification done to the ECU or wiring or installed piggyback or those funny shitty throttle controller?

Also, check if the ignition coil is still in good working condition... I have seen this with my own eyes before... the least then we suspect was actually the cause of the whole shit...

Just sharing some of my encounters similar to what you're probably facing.

i have this problem too. change spark plug still have this problem, I changed another spark plug still same problem. Finally go to other workshop also same answer, but change spark plug, OK.

During this problem , my ECU also give this problem by locking it. it will auto lock your gear, I have to insert object to bypass from Park to D mode.

seriously... u dont need top pay if they cant solve... KM might as well tell you engine/gb/ecu/compressor/alternator...also change...

they do a trial and error... before they drill down to big items... such as gb/startup clutch or flywheel....

or maybe its the sensor issue... or maybe the sensor@TB is dirty..
