GAZZUZZ:
3RD Generation Acura MDX 2007/8.

Multiple Complaints

1. Catalytic converter bank 2 (P0430)

2. O2 Sensor B1S1 No activity (P0134)

2b. O2 sensor negative Current control B1S1
(P2251)

3. Rocker Arm actuator Bank1 (P2647)

4. Transmission Range Switch Switch Circuit Open (P1717 )

5. Airbag warning light

6. Engine oil pressure warning Light

7. TPMS Warning Lights

8. Finally Blueish/White Smoke at startup.

I love challenges , I took up this job not because of the monetary gains or fame, but to prove a point that it can be done.

The last issues left to be completed on this vehicle were the VTEC system and smoke at startup.

We had a plan which we tried to follow but unfortunately didn't go with it because parts arrived at different times so we had to do other jobs.

How we solved the VTEC code.

GAZZUZZ:
[color=#550000]Put the car together again and now it throws just one code on the Engine ECU P2649 this code is triggered immediately vehicle is started .

Let's copy and paste again.

P2649 Possible Causes
What does this mean?
Low or overfilled engine oil (nope I just changed oil)
Incorrect engine oil type (used 5w20 mobil1)

Faulty 'A' Rocker Arm Actuator (tested the solenoid it works)
'A' Rocker Arm Actuator harness is open or shorted (harness at the bottom is fine but continuity not checked all the way to engine ecu )
'A' Rocker Arm Actuator circuit poor electrical connection (connections are now firm)

Monday we will take apart the engine harness and trace connections from the solenoid to the engine ecu.

That's as much as we were able to do today.

Meanwhile the SHW light came up caused by a communication code. (Lost communication)

Will be looking at a lot of wires on Monday.

In my last update I said I was going to check the electrical connections , it turned out they were fine.

So I took out the VTEC assembly again, I had an old assy lying around in the shop So i took it apart and started testing all components , also did a pressure test on the switch attached to the assy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH27jm2tJ1U

When I was sure it was all fine I began putting it together but for some reason I looked at the original one that came out of the car (came with engine From day 1) and noticed something was missing in the old part.

Now look closely at all three assys.

Now look where I placed my screwdriver then look again at the pic with all three.

I always wondered why previous technician was unable to solve the oil pressure light issue, well there you have it, oil was unable to build up pressure because the valve which is suppose to control the vtec lifters was not there at all.

I have installed the part which i refurbished tested and cleaned up,

Started the car and there are no codes on the dashboard .

Usually the oil pressure warning light would come up at idle after reaching operating temperature, but that no longer happens.

Oil pressure warning is solved , VTech codes gone for good.

We now have a clear dashboard.

The active damper system and Daytime running lights are really not an issue but if I am in the mood I will take a look at them.

I will make it my daily driver for a couple of days to be sure there are no more issues.

more like kazeem style there . Keep up boss .one of this days i go visit ur office .

The most effective way of fixing a car used in Nigeria that was bought salvaged is to employ all useful skills and knowledge acquired over the years to provide realistic RESULTS.

Imagine importing this same part for 250pounds excluding tax and shipping .

If you don't know, you don't know.

You are appreciated

Blocked catalytic converter will not damage your engine but reduce engine performance.

Hello oga Gazzuzz,I drive a 2006 Toyota Camry,I notice there is a oil leak at cylinder tip so my mechanic suggested the by another rubber packing( I have forgotten the name though but it black in colour) he opened the cylinder head only to find a heap of sludge inside the engine,he suggested to remove the head,oil swamp, for thorough cleaning with Diesel and petrol,after that has been done he coupled the engine back only for me to start going,I noticed the oil light was ON. SIR what might be the prob.

Replace the engine , or you will become a steady client to that mechanic.

Gazzuzz autos can only accommodate 10 vehicles at the same time, with a current work force of 2 Lead techs (Not ASE certified) and 4 paid apprentices.

We select our battles carefully , not because we cannot handle them but it's smarter to fix 10 corollas in one day and sleep with your eyes closed , than accept a Bently, wait 3weeks for parts, have part installed only to find out you need more parts, we do not have the luxury of space.

A lot of false info being spread online breaking rule 8 grin

GAZZUZZ:
Considering codes P2647 and P2649

Had some time to take out the vtec oil pressure solenoid and pressure switch.(looking horrible)

Also took out the Engine oil pressure switch.

A little clarification on the word horrible.

On no account should sylicone gum be used on the seals of the VTEC actuator assembly. It is unprofessional and will cause clogging of the strainer in future.

Looking at the pics below on the Toks part you will see there is no gum and it was installed that way with no resulting leaks.

Kindly note we supplied the Engine oil pump assembly and not the actuator assy. Actuator assy to the best of my knowledge came with the car .
