Why consuming more gas ? Help Please
Hey guys! I own a 2003 Honda Accord V6 Couple with 180,000KM on it. I have noticed the past month that my car has been consuming a lot more gas than usual and has a bit of a shake when the car is at idle (only in park position can’t feel it a drive gear)
Car had a full tune up done at 165,000KM (NGK spark plugs, filters, Timing belt, water pump, coolant flush) Had the Transmission rebuilt at 175,000KM (Not a good 2 months, hear this is a common occurrence) Someone at work told me to see to check my O2 sensor? I have no Check engine light on my dash. Only light is that stupid low washer fluid light that just won’t go away hahah Any suggestions? |
Your O2 could be going bad without a check engine light on, generally if it's bad enough to cause a rough idle you should have some sort of light on. The shaking could just be bad engine/trans mounts. The O2 sesnsor should be checked manually for voltage readings. If you're not too familair with this type of work I would reccomend paying 100 bucks to have a shop diagnose the problem for you.

Also check fuel lines for leaks. We've seen a few cases of fuel lines leaking due to road salt corrosion.
good luck |
