We bought a new 2014 Odyssey. I had heard about possible problems with the VCM system, so soon I bought a VCMuzzler from a Canadian source, which I assume was the original developer. It was the simplest install possible, being simply a section of wire with a resistor in it to fool the computer into sensing that the engine had not reached operating temperature, which disallowed the VCM to operate. It was simply a matter of unplugging the coolant temperature sensor wire and inserting the pigtail containing the resistor between the sensor and the wire to the computer. I have a Scan Gauge, which shows real-time coolant temperature, which was 180+ degrees, as new, and now is normally 159 degrees. We were in Illinois when I installed the Muzzler and drove home to California. My fuel consumption for the 2400 mile trip was 25.4 mpg. The eastward trip, over the same route without the Muzzler had been 25.4 mpg. The VCMuzzler has been in place for ten years, with NO downsides. Best modification I have ever done to a vehicle!

Then this guy died from carbon monoxide poisoning from running his car in the closed garage.

Interesting. To give another perspective, our 07 Odyssey just turned over 292,000 miles with the VCM active since new. It still runs great, uses no oil and the spark plugs looked fine on the two occasions when I changed them. So the “issues“ others have reported are not universal with the VCM system.

I have ‘74 Chevy nova. Someday it will look as amazing as yours.

You can’t leave the bulb out of the GEN socket or the alternator will not charge if your still running the remote voltage regulator.

These plans are all bullshit don’t fall for the stuff they give you a little bit and take away A lot

Please where i can buy one please

Thanks I’m getting ready to do my Spirit of America great video to you and your son

Honda should have installed a compression release on the 3 cylinders that the VCM manages that way it will not push the oil out! I have 92k miles and it pushed 1 quart every two weeks!

I installed the one from China the engine trouble light came on and the VSA & a code P0118 came on so I took it out and cleared the codes and seem to be where I first started usine one quart every two weeks?

If you do not disable the vcm you will need to change your oil every 4000 miles, Decarbonized the pistons every 10000 miles and engine flush every 40000 miles. Carbon gets stuck in the piston rings which causes it to burn oil in the chamber and your oil will degrade much faster. And if you are listened to Honda and changing your oil every 10000 miles you will get this issue by 60000 miles. For all that have this issue, remove the spark plugs and do a piston head soak. Change the oil more frequently with high quality oil. Do not trust a honda mechanic. You should be changing your own oil.

I added the vcm muzzler to my 2020 Ridgeline and that little V-6 woke up. I actually love pressing the gas pedal now.

Just like MY local Autozone. If I ever need something, I have to go to O'Reilley's across the street.

18:57 I always look behind my back and check blind spots. Back-up cameras are nice, but it costs nothing to use eyes. Miss with those 'assists', all they do is increase the cost of repair when I gotta go replace those sensors and have them recalibrated as well.

I installed on a 2013 Odyssey two years ago and 50,000 miles later. Still operating great. Smoothest running engine I’ve ever owned. No oil consumption between 5000 mile changes. I did run a couple bottles of Chevron Techron through it to help clean some combustion chamber carbon.

I have a 17 se . Put the muzzler on at 75000before a 6000 road trip . Mpg unaffected, eco light off. Instant power- best thing I ever did. Install the correct expensive plugs when you install the muzzler and you will be good to go.

Where did you order that please

Do the codes go away after install or do you need to have someone clear them?

Which company sells VCMUZZLER so I can order?

You got a good deal...and the bumper guards were a factory option...not many checked that box off when ordering a new car. But you could pick them up at the dealer and install yourself.....

Good job I just replaced my tank and sender on my 71 you can see it on my channel. Your cowl tag should tell you the paint code and you vin tag will call out the engine size "D" for 250 L6 "H" for 350 2 barrel "K" for 350 L48 or "L" 350 LM1 I would suspect your car was built in "K" Kansas City, or "L" Van Nuys CA as you found the build sheet. "W" Willow Run cars almost never have a built sheet. If you can read the build sheet it will give you all the codes. Well done i look forward to more videos on your car. Subscribed

This guy casually has 2 of my dream cars, I'm jealous lol

What is the red and green wire used for?

Same issue here. Honda wants to replace piston rings and charge me $4800...

I’m a 77 yoa person backyard mechanic. I installed the VCM Tuner II on my 2021 Pilot Elite at about 1000 miles since new. It was very easy to install and has worked perfectly as advertised as verified by my Blue Driver OBD II tester. I’m convinced it will save my spark plugs, piston rings, torque converter, and electronic engine mounts. I can’t say enough good about VCM Tuner II. Best $130 I ever spent. Great video. Thanks so much. If you want your engine to last, change oil & filter every 5000 miles!

How long did it take to ship? Just ordered mine. Where do they ship from?

Hello, just ran into your video which by the way it’s great. I have a 2008 Odyssey that after putting in a new set of gaskets on the front oil pressure switch the VCM started acting up ( before never had any issues) now out of no where cylinder #4 seems to be misfiring and it’s not the coil or spark plug! I am guessing it’s loosing compression. Do you think the rings on that cylinder might’ve messed up some how?

What did you do with the shift needle? I need one for my 76 ventura

Your music is far too lourd and horrible the is great!!!

Muzzled my VCM on 2015 Honda odyssey. Tired or having a misfire on cylinder 3 and oily spark plug. Now they run smooth and clean. Best thing

Had a 2014 Odyssey with 86,000 miles on it fouled cylinder 1 about once a week. Installed a VCM 2 Tuner and issue went away. Car ran much better when it was always running on six instead of BS eco four cylinders. Once installed I checked an oily plug every two days for a few weeks and watched the plug end up clean. Honda needs another class action on 2014 and above.

I'm getting ready to tackle the VCMTuner II install soon. Thanks for all the detailed info!

Where did you get this at ?

Thanks!

I always use all three mirrors, camera and try to look around.

I installed the VCM muzzler in my pilot last week. Best thing I ever did for my car. I used the blue resistor. No issues at all, just a smooth and unbothered engine. Power increase but no milage decrease either. A big thank you to Loren (verbatim) for creating this device.

Had this issue on my 2011, there’s a TSB on this. 3k to fix this at the dealership. They did mine for free. If your car/van is still inside the 8 year window, it’s free. They won’t tell you that, I only found out online through some forum…forgot where. Hope this helps

Just watched your videos about the VCM Muzzler. Checking to make sure all is still operating as normal? We just have encountered this problem with our 2016 Odyssey and heard about the VCM Tuner option. So am hopeful this is a solid fix.

What makes this an excellent instructional video is the attention to detail. If you've never taken all the plastics out of an engine compartment, you could spend all day figuring it out. Now, it should only take a few minutes because we've been shown. Even down to taping up the positive battery terminal. Priceless. You'll understand if you burn out your car's computer and have to buy a new one. I've got a question in to VCM Tuner but I think you've answered my question in the description. For their VCM II tuners, they specifically mention the Honda Acura. Does that mean the original VCM tuner is for most I-VTEC Honda engines and the VCM II is only for the Acura? I've got a 2007 Honda Odyssey with 85K miles and inquiring minds want to know.

I just installed a vcm tunner into my Odyseey today. It was a very quicka nd easy installation and no more econ light or vcm. Hopefully, I will no longer burn oil or foul a plug.

I have a 2012 with re-ring at 55k and at 118k lost cylinder #1 to misfire P0101, plug was completely fouled out. Honda wants $3k for another ring job, but I will wait and see. I replaced all plugs with $25 plugs and installed a vcm muzzler. Runs great now.

Will your work, also work with my 74 apollo?

Hello... Question for you Sir. Why the temp gauge doesn't give any reading? It always shows cold. If the vcm2 unit send temp info to the ECU, why the temp gauge doesn't show it.? Thank you for your time

I have the same car and engine, but it’s not turning on because it’s not pumping gas, just wondering if you know what the problem can be?

Does it stop the fans from coming on?

Were you losing oil? Before installing vcmtuner? Just wondering because I didn't hear you mention anything about oil consumption. Mines does

Amigo una pregunta no afecta nada en el combustible y para que el ese cable

Yeah I really hope honda can meet or improve CAFE standards without VCM, I disabled VCM on my 2017 ridgeline after replacing the injector( warranty) and 90k service at my local car wizard ( spark plugs, timing belt, tensioner,and water pump) The rear bank plug, they were much worst than the family sienna at over 250k with black soot around the thread Honda can say what they want about improving VCM but all it does is impress car reviewer " beating the EPA estimates on our test " having the car for a week Where as for me at over 150k miles yeah it was nice for the first 75k-80k getting 30s mpg steady state freeway but after fouling injectors, dirty spark plug, and rpm flutter not to mention extra ATF wear as it has to slip the clutch to engage VCM.... I'm still a Honda fan but its clear this was more of a band-aid fix than something that toyota did with dual injection and Atkinson cycle

I have the same truck but mines a z71
