quinSonia:What is "multiple things"? |

CharleyBright:I had a very similar experience on my Honda V6. Like exactly what you described. At first I thought my gear has packed since the thing will move well on gear one but starts misbehaving in gear 5 and eventually can not overtake a tortoise. It ended up being the oil pump. Maybe you should check that first. Note: it is always adviceable to change the fuel pump as a complete assembly, not just extracting the actual fuel pump. A couple of things in that assembly helps the pump work well and last long. Things like fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter, etc. If you don't change them, what happened to the first pump might happen to the new pump. I'm talking from Honda experience. |

Lekan239: What is "rocker arm pressure"? What codes are you getting? Your kazeem wants to start by changing the whole rocker arm? What exactly do you mean by " whole rocker arm? Anyways, your problem might have nothing to do with your spark plugs or injectors. Check these in this order. Oil level Oil thickness Vtec solenoid screen (filter) Vtec solenoid Picture is of k24 rocker arm.

madmelon:Then trace the oil and fix the leak. If it's oil seal, then replace it with a good one. Your mechanic should be able to handle this. |

Macmilla:So, unfortunately, the evil p0011 came back today for no obvious reason after exactly 1 week of no codes. I'm beginning to think my village people are after me. I tried to set the car on fire but I no get money for fuel as fuel don cost. |

lawmanlala:Silly question. Solution to a leak is to plug the leak. Even a 5yo knows that. |
Car Talk / Re: Tell Us Your Car Fault Lets Assess And Fix Them by Macmilla(m): 4:12am On Mar 31 |
FILEBE:That does not sound like fuel pump issue. A failing fuel pump will give issues when higher pressure is needed, that is at high speeds or when accelerating. This will manifest as loss of power. OP never complained about any issues at high speeds or while accelerating. Originality007:Check your idle control system, esp if your car is cable driven. |

theadeola:Maybe like a Love Machine. The balance shaft is on the oil pump and has to be in synchrony with the crank shaft. If it's not, then your engine turns into a vibrator. Any woman in this forum can explain better. |

How to test a VTC solenoid on 7th Gen accord. This might work in other cars but I did it on my 2005 Honda Accord 4cyl. If you want to buy a VTC solenoid but want to be sure it's working before installing it. Unplug the connector from the VTC solenoid on your engine (please leave the existing solenoid in situ). Connect the solenoid you want to test and hold it in place with your hand. Have someone start the car and raise it intermittently to to around 3500rpm. As the engine is raised and dropped, you will see the solenoid open and close smoothly. The more you raise the engine, the more it opens. If it doesn't open and is not smooth, please replace it. NOTE: Opening and closing when connected to 12v does NOT guarantee smooth operation. It doesn't guarantee it will work smoothly. In the repair manual, Honda made it look like the solenoid is an open or close switch, like on/off switch. In operation, it is NOT. It gradually opens and closes depending on demand. The extent to which it opens depends on what the ECU wants and the solenoid must be able to make these adjustments smoothly or else you get a code. Note: Make sure there's a solenoid installed right on the engine before starting the engine. That is not the one being tested. It is just there to avoid oil splashing everywhere. If you want to test the one in your engine before buying, you can only do it on another car because you need a solenoid to block that hole on the engine. Please as questions if you have any. 1 Like |

theadeola:This p0011 na witch. I still don't understand it. But for diagnosis, the list below is the order to follow 1. Engine oil (low, old, or wrong thickness). 2. VTC strainer (blockage by dirt) 3. VTC solenoid (not working) 4. VTC actuator 5. Cam position sensor 6. Oil channels (if you open the VTC actuator and see fresh oil, then your channels are good. 7. Oil pump timing (if off, will cause vibrations as well) 8. ECU If none of these fails to fix the code, just set the car on fire. |

GAZZUZZ:So I did something stupid this afternoon. The p0011 code I was having disappeared 2days ago and didn't return. But mumu me had my mind already made up that my VTC actuator has been kazeemised. So despite the code clearing on its own, my brain was just not at peace. So I went ahead to open up my valve cover and my actuator (yes, I opened up the actuator itself) and lo and behold, it has not been tampered with. With the actuator open, I removed the locking spring and pins and turned the crankshaft while watching the actuator vanes and it was actually free from the sprocket, ie, it was working as supposed. I was happy, angry and confused all at the same time. Why did the code persist for so long? Why did it suddenly clear when I'm about to go crazy on it? I'm sure everything is regards my VTC is working fine, which means I've not found the problem. Or maybe there was never a problem. My brain is headaching me. grin And as normal, one or two things were damaged in the process, all for nothing. I hope that evil p0011 doesn't come back if not, I will just set the car on fire and have peace of mind. (Don't worry I no fit burn my only car grin) |

So it's been 1 week now and still no catalyst or O2 sensor codes. I didn't buy new catalyst and no spacer installed. This method is not for any kazeem cos it involves soldering resistor and capacitor. Even your rewire may not be able to do it tho it's still not hard. I'll post the YouTube video for those interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHD7T7EhuzI?si=CGMOM1yZPw-5OhYE 2 Likes |

Supersaiyanlord:I bet it will still throw a sensor slow response code l. Since it's no longer in direct contact with flow of hot gases, it will take a bit longer to heat up and Honda will detect that delay. It's not about having a mini catalyst or not. Have you seen someone that used a spacer on a Honda for a month or longer without a code? |
Car Talk / Re: Maintenance Tips For Honda Cars by Macmilla(m): 9:33am On Mar 26 |
Supersaiyanlord:No, it didn't. Just ordinary spacer. But like I said earlier, in testing a more sophisticated way to eliminate p0420. I'll update here after one week of using it. |
