Good afternoon, Acura TL 06 overheats when the AC is turned on especially when the weather is hot but it stays normal at the middle mark without AC. The radiator has been washed, no thermostat and fans run direct too.

Normal. Restore the thermostat and return the cooling fan to factory settings.

1. Check and confirm both fans run when the ac is on.
2. Check and confirm both fans pull air through the radiator and condenser into the engine bay and not the other way around. (Place a piece of paper or nylon on the radiator. If the nylon sticks to the radiator, then the fan is blowing in the right direction. If it pushes the nylon out, it's blowing in the wrong direction). Check both fans.

Hi gurus pls what does my friend need to do after this scan result?. Vehicle is Honda civic 2003 Europe.

Good evening house.. Please someone should come to my aid.. Nissan Altima 06 was discovered to be draining oil.. There was no sign of a leak from any of the seals under the car but at interbals i will notice oil on the ground overnight. Never knew where the oil was sipping out from.. But noticed the engine oil was always running short. So last month i could not get Mobil regular oil so decided to do an oil change to forte oil visco 2000 but the oil drained faster. So my mechanic said we should change back to mobil and so we changed back to mobil but after the oil change to mobil i noticed the car started smoking. Blue flame? Please what can be responsible for the blue smoke? Kindly help please.. Thanks

Good evening everyone. Please help a troubled soul. My car gear( Honda civic 2008) slip in motion. I scan the gear and I got the following code. P0752, P0777 & P0797. Please how do I fix the issue. Thanks and God bless you all.

I just got honda Accord 2004 accord for wifey and my mechanic is saying I should remove the thermostat and connect the fan directly.

Is it advisable?

clear codes and rescan. Check the O2 sensor connectors and reattach if disconnected.

possibly an internally clogged radiator. Did you wash the inside or the outside of the radiator

change radiator cover ,test it properly ensure there is no leakage.

My 2003 Corolla threw the following codes
P0135
P0301
P0141
I noticed high fuel consumption. Also, the oxygen sensor on bank 1 wasn't connected...
Would replacing the oxygen sensor clear these codes?

Hi Guru,
Please what do you suggest.
Camry 10, just 2wks in the country, last wk I was stuck in traffic for 3hrs (longest hr driven yet) and I observed d temp rose close to d max, after switching off a/c temp went to half way mark.
It still has thermostat, bt mechanic says I shd remove it, he says fans are fine. Do I go ahead?

We are traveling with d car, suddenly the gear just refuse to move again. We have tow the vehicle. If we start the car it will start but when put the gear to D it won't pick at all.

The car gear is automatic.

Is it advisable to replace thermostat and revert fan to its original state on a Nigerian used Honda civic? The car has been running like that for over a year.

My 2004 Toyota Corolla rev can’t go beyond 5000 rpm and the car finds it difficult to go 120km/h, what could be the cause, the mechanic said nozzle and fuel pump.

It's complicated.

Your vehicle was overheating, and the uninformed tech modified your electrical system and unrestricted the flow of coolant, thereby suppressing the overheating condition.

Note the problem was never solved .

Car currently runs on very low temp values and very low coolant pressure values.


You have to go back to diagnosis of what made vehicle overheat in the first place.

These are a list of possible variables

Defective Radiator
Waterpump
Head gasket
Previously stuck thermostat
Corrosion on coolant lines
Pipe leaks
Electrical fan failure

Resolve before going back to factory settings.

Currently you have a drivable car, so be careful

5,000RPM is very close to the redline, you should avoid revving engine that high.

That said a loss of power is what you are dealing with. You can scan and post codes here
