On Monday morning.
I drove out with my Dodge to a friends warehouse
When I got there I we talked ..
Some Goods just landed tho Custom Ceased
One of it was a 2003,pilot
I checked it out and did little inspection
from my little mind
The car was nice and very neat as in He Dry
I talked to him about price
The price was so so so Cheap Mehn (Cos na my senior Man)
Before conclusion I called a ba3 charger to bring one battery to start the ignition
We kicked it up
After the 3rd start she Came
But
The engine Rpm won't stay on one spot
From 700-2400 up and down
I looked it as a small ish since the engine was well sound
The tranny was Good
I scanned the ride It Only Showed Idle Air bla bla
The Ac Won't work too I guess its the Gas
Radio is Locked (thinking of contacting Day-11)
There was a sound underneath when in motion
All this I overlooked

I paid for it yesterday and got it registered yesterday

Yesterday afternoon I called my mech

We fixed the sound under twas a minor issue
We got it serviced
Ac was fixed (Refill Gas)

Now he said the unstable rpm
Is from the accuator (That stuff you use to Rev the Car)i don't know if I got the correct spelling
He removed it and serviced it but its still the same
He said it costs 15000#
But the car works and move fine but in Park u hear it going up and down asin The rpm

Abeg Gazzuzz Siena Ikenna315 lomomike sultaan and many others i need your view

This bla bla scan result will not help.

Y are you calling me a pill of chill lols
You ehn
Anyways the scan result showed
Idle air control p0505

Clean the idle air controller first it is on the throttle body sometimes they gat covered in oily carbon and cause rpm to fluctuate
Check for a video on IAC on YouTube

Have done that bro

Readone35L:

Have done that bro

Did it solve the problem?

DECOtech: Did it solve the problem?

Not at all
This car is toks engine is very dry
No sign of oil or carbon on The iavc
I removed it and gave it a cleanup and even flushed with this abro choke something something
It still remained same
But the stuff is rusty
Everything looks okay maybe the butterfly doesn't close completely thereby allowing air into it
Still thinking
Or will I buy another idle air control or what
Hmmmm
Any tip from anyone is welcomed
I still drove the car tonight too festac to get sharwama
But idling is

Can we have pics of your engine and idle?

This is a pdf file of how to clean IACV http://www.google.com/url?q=http://engine-codes.com/uploads/honda/04-007.pdf&sa=U&ei=TzL-U_y4AofJOfCagbAF&ved=0CDAQFjAL&sig2=zerd6OqbAw0pz7cch5JH_g&usg=AFQjCNFycRp39BU365uZyFXJly7paK-J_A

Very good you have a carbon cleaner didn't know how to describe it initially now try spraying the cleaner along the air hoses and manifold area at a point the idle speed/ sound will change and that is where your leak is

I'll try this
But car seems to be getting better small small
Anoda said maybe a bad gas in the tank
Some said its because it has been containerised for long
I filled the Tank Today and I saw little changes but its not really stable
I went to Trinity in apapa
I got My Ac Refilled and Checked #3000
The kick starter was malfunctioning they rebuilt it and changed something inside #4000
I got my Radio code free
Got new Foot mats .

Car is now in 9/10 position
I'll start her in the morning and check the rpm status if is still fooling .
I'll try syltaan and Gazzuzz advice
Thank you all...

I know the manifold cover is missing from the pic, you had mechanics look at it but there is something in that first pic I can't see clearly I think I know what it is ,If I am right you just found your problem in the fist pic near the red battery cable cover there seem to be a hose cut off with the hose clamps still there confirm if it is the same on the other side of this pic I attached and where it should connect to

If the pictures help then it is good to always post one since others might see what you didn't notice

There is a hose connection near the positive battery terminal that is not connected. The hose seems to have been knocked off but the retaining clip is still there. Put that hose back and the irregular idle rpm should go away. Its affecting the car cos the broken off conection is after ur air flow meter. cheers

sultaan the car you posted is diff from mine or maybe a diff Honda v6
there is no Hose at the top of my that Iavc in my car
I even went as fat as cleaning the fuel nozzles
am going to change the iavc On Monday at Trinity or Ladipo
but
when you remove one of those cables connecting to it it idles correctly and normal but won't rev above 2000rpm

i posted that picture when I was about to Loose that part so that's why the cables and hose are out
but trust me when u put it in
it does d same
the open manifold was when I decided to clean the nozzles

Cleaning nozzle is going to deep into the wrong area.put the air filter back together and take a couple of clearer pics from what I am looking at looks like the hose has been cut usually the clamps are on the hose not the fitting unless the hose was cut.

Your problem is still a air leak after the mad sensor.

thanks sultaan,9icetoo,Gazzuzz and decotech
car has been fixed since .
i changed the actuator i got one for #9000 at ladipo
i was suppose to post updates but mr seun banned my account
so i re-opened another thread
so far so good ,the car has been fine
the ac worked for a week and stopped cooling
the techi said the compressor is faulty that he is gonna work on it for #5000
i dont really drive the pilot but this weekend am gonna give it to the ac techi
.
i scanned and cleared the code Idle air control p0505 code
.i get like a 3 seconds delay when i change tranny to Drive but no jerks ,or what so ever drive is smooth, i checked the fluid level but it wasnt leveled , am going to purchase the recommended fluid and flush out the old one

Hello Guys
Been Long since I updated the Thread my pilot has been fine Tho

But I noticed some issues
My check engine light is on
After scanning
I got a code which pointed at Egr Valve

And my Vtm-4 light also comes on the dash after driving for like a mile and won't go off even after pushing the button
Infact the button won't change anything,more like it doesn't work

Your opinions and solutions are Needed

Hello bro, although I'm not conversant with Honda/Pilot systems, I'd take a general DIY work lane in helping you. Your VTM-4 is a 4 wheel traction system which locks your vehicle in 4 Wheel mode in speeds less than 30km/h (hope I'm right). Some cars traction control has a connection with engine your Pilot is one of such cars, if the system detects a slip, it cuts power to engine, engage the traction and reduce the speed of the slipping wheel. Your VTM-4 system has a connection with EGR system. 1st I'd like you to try the DIY in the link I provided.

m.wikihow.com/Clean-Your-EGR-Valve

Either your coolant level is low or idle air control valve is faulty.

funny enough idle air control valve was changed when i bought this car toks August 27 2014 because of fluctuating rpm.

Coolant is up to guage

Hey guys

Been busy as always
