| ... and that can get annoying fast. The Honda Accord EX is the 2.4L I4 and that model year was part of the 2008-2012 susceptible to oil burning, which was only pronounced if the previous owner did not religiously change the oil every 3,000-5,000 miles. And here you are saying it had previous owners, which is scary because you don’t know how it was taken care of. See my past write up below on that issue: it’s a shame too because the EX came with a manual transmission as standard so a 4 cylinder with manual would be ideal for longevity: Finally, the Coro ... | |||||
| Answer to: Which F150 to buy? | 16Relevance | 5 years ago | USAFdozerpilot | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If you’re going the Ford route get pre 18 5.0 . I’ve been happy so far with my 15 F150 5.0. Where you’re not towing as much I’d suggest get the 2.7 Eco 18 or newer since they put duel injectors in that yr. People get on me for suggesting the Ecoboosts at times but they fail to realize this is where the American truck market is headed. I know guys going 200k mi with those 2.7 Ecos. Take care of it. It’s that simple, yes there’s more to replace you got turbos and stuff but my conworker didn’t replace his turbo till 120k mi. If you want to follow what most peop ... | |||||

| ... old time carburetors, but they proved reliable over time and the benefits far outweighed the repair cost risk. And on the F150 EcoBoosts, like the truck mechanic said online, the most common problem with them is NOT using the turbos and the waste gates getting stuck. It likely took less than a year for Chevy to learn what a lemon their Vega engine was and it was one of the reasons the public soured on the car. Ford started using the EcoBoost 3.5 (first gen version, not as good as the current 2nd gen) in 2007 in other vehicles and in 2011 in the F150. If ... | |||||

| There are no pins that correspond to a particular test. The pins are for power, ground, and data communications. Are you able to read data from and run tests on other systems in the car? You would need a wiring diagram for your vehicle to determine where the pins connect in order to test the wiring. | |||||

| The best choices would be Honda Civics, Toyota Camrys, Toyota Corollas, Honda Accords, and Ford Fusions (non Eco boost).He may have to save up a little more for some of these though. The Civics made before 2014 are excellent vehicles and you can easily find good deals on them if you look at the base models. For 2014 or 2015 Civics, I’d only get one with a manual transmission but in order to get one with a manual transmission, you can only get a base model or the overpriced Civic SI which will definitely be above the $10k budget. All of the 2016+ Civics will ... | |||||

| Obd2 scanner. Is it safe? Is my dad right? | 15Relevance | 10 months ago | Terrorcon1 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Alright this is gonna be a long one so bear with me. I bought this new OBD2 scanner called super gizmo. I asked the creator if it’s safe even tho it draws power. He replied in this quoting “ It's a one-way data transfer from your diagnostic port to your car. There's no backwards data transfer, it's not designed for that. There's also several failsafe mechanisms built into the hardware and power switch. These readers have been tested and used for over 1 year now, it's also completely FCC, CE, and RCM certified in a laboratory and meets all North American, European, and Australian government standards.” I told my dad about this but he still said it’s not safe simply because it plugs into my car and draws power. And it drawing power can cause problems. But from the creator of the scanners quotes it sounds safe. It simply reads data. No backwards data transfer. My dad’s logic is basically, if it plugs in it’s a no go. So I wanna know from your perspective. Would you say it’s safe? Or agree with my dad. Another person had said they’ve had their “super gizmo OBD2” plugged in constantly even when the car is off and had had 0 issues. If I myself were to use it, I would be plugging it into my 2024 trd Camry when the car is on and unplugging it when the cars off. | |||||
