Hi members, can you help me, im a newbie here. I just got problem that my 97 VTI has slow performance, too slow to accumulate speed. parang bitin....tune up lang ba katapat nya, please advise nmn...thanks and more power

[mikomac]

Ganyan din Vti namin dati Hirap umarankada. Ang lakas pa sa gas..

Change Oil at tune up siguro katapat niyan.

have the following done to your VTi:

1. change the oil and air filters
2. change the spark plugs
3. have the timing and valve adjustments checked and adjusted... VERY VERY IMPORTANT (HAVE THE CASA DO THIS ITS 990 PETOT
4. change the transmission oil... USE ONLY HONDA ATF-Z1 sa casa mo na rin pagawa ito
5. inflate your tires to 31 psi
6. remove unnecessary junk in your car

guaranteed, bibilis yan. as you drive your car and do research in the internet, you will understand why i want you to have these things done.

the regular "tune-up" sa gas station just won't do it. in fact, i think hindi naman tune up talaga ginagawa dito... simpleng palit lang ng spark plugs tune up na sa kanila. a true tune up involves setting the timing and adjusting the valve clearances... THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR HONDA ENGINES

Thanks a lot Volts, I already left my unit to my friend's autoshop, hope tomorrow I can test drive and see the difference.

I'll definitely follow your suggestions.

By the way, is there a Civic autoclub, etc that I can Join

Guys - I brought my car to casa last weekends, pina ayos ko ang pang ilalim, I spent 19,500 to be exact, including change oil,and spark plug.

My bad experience sa Casa - sa Binan Laguna, cause I'm living there. My friend introduce me to the owner and think of I can avail any discount.

Here's what happened.

Nag change Oil sila, palit ng sparkplugs without checking my oil filters (iniwan ko kasi nung friday at binalikan ko nung Sat.), so when I checked it ganun pdin ang takbo, ang bagal.

Pinalitan nmin ang air at oil filter, at naka advance settings daw, Initially umayos ang takbo but not that whats my expectations. Yesterday, sunday, 80 lang ang takbo ko as SLEX, at pag tumatagal na, lalong bumabagal.

So, my bad experience with that Jomaks sa Platero, Binan. Ni singkong duling hindi ako nka discount. Na bad trip ako, di din naayos ang makina.

Even my A/C namamatay pag na ka stop.

Pag tumatagal, I cant even start the engine, problem daw sa Ignition Coil..

Guys help me, I'm thinking baka distributor, but i have to check ATF at Ignition coil so I can use it properly.

Sa mga taga Binan, Laguna, my bad experience sa Jomaks,

thanks guys

Yung Casa sa laguna is yung Honda mismo, tapos palyado parin?

[JimmyEarl1035]

tiwala din kasi ako, kasi yung toyota ko dun inaayos at kaibigan ng pinsan ko, pagkakamali ko tinaga din ako, mayadong garapalan..at di din naman naayos ang makina. yung pang ilalim naayos naman, pero I'm not happy sa sevice nila.

hindi sya Honda Sta rosa, sana nga dun ko na lang dinala sa Honda mismo.

Guys what's my next step. thanks in advance.

I'm thinking ignition coil at atf na lang muna

Yes sir, yung ATF mo i-check mo if ok pa.

[JimmyEarl1035]

my son told me, 'Daddy bkt ang bagal natin, 80 lang, bkit hindi 100', hehhe.......

sobrang bad experience ko last weekends dun sa Jomaks Tire and Auto Service Center.....lessons learned, dont trust anyone...

thanks guys, and hoping for more comments on this thread...

Kung ayaw mo na ng sakit sa ulo, paayos mo na sa honda mismo.

Pero doble gastos na yan.

Actually, either way, doble na rin gastos mo. Kesa iloko ka pa ng ibang talyer, papalitan ang hindi naman sira.

[JimmyEarl1035]

Thanks MDA, more power.

[Ry_Tower]

La ka bang kilalang reputable shop dyan. Laguna yan, malamang meron dyan magaling na shop na hindi naman casa para hindi sobrang gastos. Sayang eh, pambili pa ng genuine parts,

nag pa service na din ako dyan sa Jomaks, ok naman ang service,reasonable ang price although ang pinaayos ko e puro pang ilalim. since nasa engine ang issues sana sa casa mo na lang dinala or dun sa mga na shops na alam mong magaling sa engine. Like yung Autovision sa may loob mg pacita area ok dun.

[blue_gambit]

Pwede pa engine diagnostics ka sa Honda, tpos kung ano reading sa computer pagawa mo sa labas para di ganun ka mahal

[meloforma]

bro, in-assure ka ba ng talyer na aayos na takbo ng oto mo pagkatapos mo mag-shell-out ng 20k?

kasi kung in-assure ka nila pero walang changes, balik mo sa kanila (without any additional charges)...

[cjv_justice]

I don't know about you guys, but "Jomaks"?

rhymes with 'auto topaks'

wala man lang bang konting assurance sila dun sa binayaran na 20k nung customer nila?
