Macmilla:

The code has been gone for like 3days now. I hope it stays away for good.

Macmilla:

So have you fixed this problem? I have exact same code after rebuilding my engine. But it is showing as PENDING CODE P0011. I don't really understand what "pending" means, but I've erased the code several times and it keeps coming back as pending code. All other codes that came up after the work has been rectified but this pending code P0011 has refused to stay away. I'm scratching my head cos I've replaced VVT solenoid (this cleared the p0341 code I had). I've cleaned the vtec solenoid screen (this fixed P2646). My VTC actuator has never been touched and doesn't rattle. It was working perfectly before the rebuild and I don't want to just keep throwing parts at it. Also Honda didn't mention the actuator under this code.
Also, why does it keep appearing as Pending code?

gsparks01:
Nope..it was sold. Bought 2011 Elantra instead.

This issue has nothing to do with the Valve Timing Control or the Oil Control Valve solenoid or the engine electronics either. If the solenoid is tested and working ok, there are several other pointers to look at during diagnosis. I dont have the time to go into long details here but I will help you correct the issue. I believe you may not have owned this car for long.

GreekDon:


The used part (Vtc actuator) has probably been worked on. That part was designed to either advance or retard depending on power need of the engine. That functionality is gone. Reason why you have timing related codes.

And yes, it will affect your driving experience. You are better off, ordering a new part from good a reputable Honda/Acura store. It doesn't come cheap. Get a good Honda mechanic to fix it for you when you get the new vtc actuator. Gazzuzz comes highly recommended.

Another thing, the vtc actuator has an updated part: 14310-R5A-305. Make sure you are getting this updated part when you order.

Otherwise, just fix the rattling part back. I will rather deal with a 2 second rattling sound at start up, than having to deal with drivability issues.

Are you in Abuja, look for kingreign and thank me later

ksmart027:

How much is the engine

Dozieson:


If it is not affecting your drivability just let it be. Dont repair what is not faulty.

Take a look at the Honda Accord factory repair manual below. Click on next for further troubleshooting steps when done with the current page.

You can either guide your mechanic or do it yourself if you're hands on.

AutoManual:
This is the same thing that happened to my accord.

First my mechanic said its oil pump. Thereafter he said its the valve. My engine was open for the very first time after he finished car started smoking heavily but the sound stop.

When I buy a new toks. If the engine needs to be open i will just sell the car like that. When Nigeria mechanic open your engine they mess with alot of things. They will tell you it doesn’t mean ouibo just put it there. if you watch oyibo autos you will see the how detail and precession they accurately make sure it look out.

Reason for paper gaskets is because the engine will lose 100% seal fitness.

IconicR:
Sell it and buy another one Mr baldheadedddd man

AutoMoTech:


The whole timing system needs to be properly checked and inspected.
your problem might be in the electrical side (wiring & ECU), hydraulic (oil related) or mechanical (VTEC actuator, timing chain etc).

Can you also possibly shed more light on how the noise was fixed? asking because some road side techs usually weld the variable valve timing control permanently. that might take care of the noise but definitely the VVT system will not work any more. and ofcourse you will have alot of timing related error codes stored.

Sheuns:


That rattling sound never goes off, it's engineering problem from Honda, it's the VTC Actuator. don't tamper with your brainbox. The sound doesn't in any way damage your engine. It only sounds on cold starts. Check youtube for more info.

Hostermipo:
Good evening GAZZUZZ,

Please i am having low engine oil pressure warning (Camry 2008) (Please note my oil level is not low

I scanned and i got this error...p0012 - camshaft position a - timing over retarded (bank 1).

In an attempt to to solve this error, I have changed the oil filter, cleaned the vvt Solenoid but all doesn't seems to take the warning away.


Please any idea of what could be wrong or possible solution ?

Thanks a lot

That's an old car, modern cars show fuel consumption on the dashboard.

fastseo:

well am not talking about who will flee with the money or who returns the money

anywhere you see Ngozi... knows that that person is igbo

caracas:

Yes !an Igbo lady from rivers state
Are you ok now?

fastseo:


if she took drugs now n was caught you will say igbo... just because of what..? the name Ngozi.

irrespective of where you here igbo names from chukwu to Ngozi to even Amarachi or Amaechi etc.
just know they are igbo clan although they might not be South Easterners but know this that igbo nation is beyond South East.

same way you see yoruba in. Republic of Benin and hausas in Niger

001Lagos:
Igbos are honest people so I'm not surprised

Congrats to Ngozi Mary and thank you for making the Igbo nation proud

markpenk:
VTC actuator issues. It's a factory problem common in some 8th and 9th gen accords.

You could either change it --would be a huge pain in the a**-- or just learn to live with it/ignore it. It doesn't/won't affect anything.

Good luck.

Mafuba:
My honda accord 2013 gives a rattling noise (cold start) when i start it in the morning. what do i do?

Auskyd:
Good evening bosses.

My Honda Accord (thanks to my chairmen here @kingreign, Nurey, Gazzuzz, and other mandem that helped me make the choice. Oga Gazzuz thread on what to check before you buy a car is heaven-sent! ) 2008 started this subtle vibration when it's in drive, and is idle, and this has increased over time. It started after I did general servicing on the legs (bearing, linkage, etc.. my God I spend money and I dey vex 😩😭), changed engine oil and filter, and other servicing which was recommended.

Abeg wetin fit cause am?

Kingstel:
Honda city 09

2nd time I'm experiencing this problem this issue.

It's refusing to start again after driving for about 1 hour.

The battery is relatively new. I tighten the battery terminals 3 days ago when it 1st happen. And now again refusing to start.

menstrualpad:

But reliable?

What do you think about a 1st generation Sequoia?
