One of the wierd problems i am facing occassionally,whether winter,summers or rainy season.This is what happens.I start the car.Drive for say around 16kms with the ac on.The ac switch is on level 1 or sometimes level 2.The circulation Switch or slider is off/closed. Then sometimes for some reasons for eg.Nakabandhi,or if there are cops i switch ac off..by pressing the main ac button and then turning of the fan switch to the off level. This all done while the car is still in motion.And immediately after maybe 3minutes i switch the ac back on and then the increase the fan switch lvl to 2. Now what happens is there are white smoke,fog,vapours that come out from the vents. Does not smell like burning smell.I don't cough.it doesn't affect my throat. It just comes for a few seconds and then goes. I wonder what it is.Does not happen everytime.Happens once in a blue moon.Normally in the mornings at around 10:15am or afternoons.My speeds when that happens is approximately 45kph. Does any one face a similar problem.Inputs would be highly appreciated. |

I'm posting my query in this thread as I feel this is the closest. Please guide if it's not! I have a 1999 OHC 13.Exi (MT). It has done 135k. A bit of modifications done long time back - FFE, all four suspension raised by ~1 inch (pads). I'm facing the following issues of late, request suggestions / opinions / expert advice: 1) Car jerks at low RPM (between 500 - 800). Jerking is higher with AC on. 2) Engine stops sometimes, especially when i put the car into motion after a red light turns green (traffic signal) 3) Idling in the morning shows 1000+, but after a few kms of run, it shows <500 4) I used to get ~12.5 kmpl till 6 months back (w/o AC), I'm now getting ~10 kmpl (city driving) 5) My mechanic is suggesting O2 sensor change as he has already checked timing, throttle body cleanup etc. However, the yellow light is not on! 6) I've, so far, not touched Engine (no revamp) 7) Around a year back, I met with an accident - it was a frontal crash (no ones injured). I had to change a few things under the hood and the hood itself and the Engine head cover (only the cover). I don't know if it has anything to do with the jerking and low FE. Just mentioned here for better advises. I'm particularly looking at 'No Jerk' and improvement in fuel efficiency (at least to my earlier best :Frustrati)! Please help... |

Fuel filter change. Injector cleaning on a proper machine, not by hand. Do both at the same time and post this check the new reading on the injectors (which you can get only when cleaning is done on a proper machine) If it still gives you issues have the timing checked again from another guy who you know is good for sure. |

might be an IACV problem... that is probably the reason of the strange idling. |

Issue 2 is due to the fuel gauge floater in the fuel tank has not been installed correctly. There is a link rod which would have got bent. Need to correct the angle of that rod holding the floater. |

I have the exact same problem, I filled up fuel worth 2000 bucks last week and it shows only quarter tank of fuel, which is just not possible even under the assumption that the tank was bone dry (which it was not). So is it certain that the problem isn't electrical ? If its just a matter of correcting the angle, how much should be the cost involved, also is it a simple DIY that I can do ? Sorry for the barrage of questions. Thanks |

Did you also get your tank cleaned? I dont think it should be an electrical issue. What happens if you do a full tank? Where is the indicator then? Its not DIY for sure. |

Guys, I need to get my Dampers / Shocks replaced. Suggestions ? Read somewhere about Gas Filled shocks that are available for the OHC, any leads ? |

i, a couple of months ago, got the suspension overhauled for my OHC and changed to gas filled struts and it made significant difference to handling and ride quality. options you have for struts: Munjal Showas - very very difficult to find. also, only strut is not available - one has to buy full kit. fluid charged. Gabriel - Honda OE replacement - fluid charged. TRW - Honda OE replacement - gas charged. |

Please share the cost of the gas filled struts. How did they make a significant difference? Less roll and stiffer are they? |
