Diagnosing a Misfire & Lower Power on 2018 Honda Accord 1.5 Turbocharged Engine P0304

[@ThomasWJames]

2018 Honda Accord EX-L 1.5 73,300 miles. Just came back from the dealer. Started with christmas tree lights (every warning light) going off in the car. Thought it was a bad battery, bought a battery wasn't that. Misfire on cylinder 3. Blown head gasket with a possible leak or deformed engine. They recommend buying a new engine at a cost of around $10,000.00. Went down an internet rabbit hole and it seems that the problem is quite major with thousands of posts all over the internet. The problem is believed to be making the engine more emissions-friendly to deal with government ratings; what they didn't foresee was the gaskets couldn't take the pressure. I contacted Honda GoodWill and seeing what they say, I'm not holding my breath. I've owned 1998 Honda Civic, 2009 Honda Civic, 2013 Honda Accord, 2016 Honda Accord, and 2018 Honda Accord...it's looking like this will be my families FINAL Honda.

I work at a Honda dealership. Injectors get replaced at an alarming rate. The manufacturer has a workflow of parts replacements in their troubleshooting. I am literally the first technician at this dealership to own and use a Picoscope. My test for misfires allows me to observe all of the things you have done in this video. One thing I would like to suggest is that you can capture high pressure fuel system sensor voltage and monitor fuel pressure drops during normal injector activity and compare among cylinders. You don't need to open the fuel system up at all and you can do this while the vehicle is running.

That what happen to my 18 accord sport . All the lights came up on my dash like a Christmas tree . Took it to the dealer and they wanted 4K to replace the injectors . My accord barely hit 60k miles and was out warranty . So I bought the injectors from the Honda parts department and had them replaced and it fixed my issues . Sold the car right away . The car also let me stranded multiple times in the freeway when it had that problem . The car would just shut off .

They told her that they were not of good quality, and that might be the problem. When I suspected all along that it was the fuel injectors. But she was out of town when it set the misfire codes. So, I wasn't able to check it for her. You gave an excellent tutorial!!! Much appreciated, you are the best.💯 Thanks😊 Happy Easter 😇🙏

[@johnnymade8426]

My 2018 Accord 1.5T just had a fuel injector fail at 58k error code P0172 (posted on my channel). Modern Honda look amazing but once the 3yr/36k warranty expires you're on your own and you have no idea how expensive modern Honda engines are to fix. Oil changed at 80%, Shell regular used 80% of the time, always did warm up the car in the winter. Dealer so out of touch they recommended brake fluid replacement at 30k. I've never seen this part fail in ANY of my past cars. When asked why the injector failed so early Dealer said they see them all the time and cost of replacement is $1600-$2500 (must replace all 4) and the new injectors warranty is only for 12k/12mos! I was in love and bought the 1st Accord on the lot with series ending in -0001 but when I made a case with Honda to see if it could be part of a bad batch all I got was the VM of the case manager for weeks on end. I fell for all the influencers stating this Accord was the best in it's class.

[@scientist100]

If nothing had been replaced, any shop would have not caught this unless it was fixed temporarily and returned, then we would have looked elsewhere for the real problem. The same can be said why were the injectors dirty to begin with? Bernie may have solved half the puzzle but it is possible that the fuel is dirty or filter, he got consistent numbers when pressurizing but it could be a low pressure number for this GDI system. Cars can be complicated sometimes.

2017 Civic Hatchback Sport CVT. 191,000 miles troubled free on original spark plugs. Amsoil signature series, 91 octane always used, on 4th set of tires currently. Honda makes great cars, these engines need 91 octane and oil changed every 5,000 miles.

[@pizzaloverfpsdude]

91 octane..... no they don't. If it's a sport model, it recommends it to meet the advertised HP but it adjusts the timings to prevent knocking if you put 87 in. Most of the models tell you 87 is recommended. You lose at most 6 - 8 HP by not using 91. If you drive an Si.... maybe you can justify it a little more (barely) but with a Type R yes... then you should use high octane. Civics and Accords are low HP, are you seriously coming on here pretending you know anything about cars because yours has lasted 191,000 because you used 91? No... in fact those spark plugs should have been replaced 1000s of miles ago and would cost far less then the extra cash you spent on 91 gas.... The oil at 5k yes, you are right there. Fuel injector cleaner every oil change at your next gas fill up is how you keep the injectors clean... not wasting money on 91/93 every fill up on a fuel efficient car lol.... High octane is for high horse power, do some research.

[@oc91five]

I'm not a certified mechanic, I do know how to read instructions. I recently changed out the plugs at 196,191. They look good. These 1.5L turbos need 91. I have not had any fuel injector issues. Yet....

[@petar443]

Injector 4 is flowing more fuel and making rich condition. Fuel is taken away and 1,2,3 goes lean. 2 and 3 have better flow than 1 . But 1 has very poor flow and is going extremely lean judging by the ignition waveform. This car needs advanced diagnostic approach. The DTC for cyl 4 is based on crankshaft speed not going fast enough after power stroke on cyl 4 and ECU is seeing this through the Crank sensor. but still i don't know why there's carbon track on spark plug for cyl 4. since this is rich cylinder. Maybe before the DTC was for cyl 1 and mechanic swapped spark plugs. And put carbon track plug from 1 to 4. And then the original plug from 4 got carbon track also because of severely lean cyl 1.

[@alrifainidal]

i agree with you ,

[@keenxxx1]

I understand the misfire code generated by the carbon tracked plug what I don’t understand is the scoped lean condition and the normal fuel trims. I’d be curious to see how the car runs w/ just the plugs replaced. If a single injector is flowing more or less fuel shouldn’t the O2 report & adjust the fuel trims? Nice tool but honestly how many techs take a test drive w/ a scope?

[@Lambros_Stefaneas]

@@keenxxx1 no one.

[@gooe9561]

Lean doesn't mean not enough fuel. Lean means too much oxygen in the exhaust stream. Fuel that flows at the proper rate, but doesn't atomize properly, can show a lean condition simply due to incomplete combustion.

[@autotechtogo6290]

Judging by the high spark line we know there is a lean condition. It's probably safe to say the injectors are restricted. But why was the vehicle subtracting fuel? Usually with a restricted injector the fuel trims will be positive.

[@2secondslater]

An poor combustion event will flood the exhaust with unburnt fuel and crowd the O2 out of the exhaust, tricking the ECU into reducing fuel, you just have to remember that O2 sensors are measuring the absence or presence of oxygen. The ECU will reduce fueling to try to bring O2 levels back up.

It never hurts too pull a plug to see what shape it’s in. Get some info on what the plug is trying to tell you based on what it looks like and go from there. Maintenance and documentation is always key and doing this small test can let you know how the rest of the car is performing.

[@SuperComand]

Had an issue with accord 2013 2.4 direct injection, over +40% of lambda correction, it was E10 gasoline, when a customer changed to normal gasoline there was +16% of correction, then I cleaned 3 times injectors with BG cleaner and there's 2-4% of lambda correction now. In this video cylinders 2,3,4 showed almost the same pressure drop, only cylinder 1 was definitely leaking, but why do you diagnose cylinder 4 injector as faulty?? Your test doesn't bring to that conclusion. It is just your suggestion that lean mixture causes ignition coil work at its limit at high voltage and that brings in the end to "carbon trace" on the spark plug It is a known issue with injectors on this Honda engine...

This will also do a Volumetric Efficiency Test the same way . Then you know if the CAT is clogged and the MAF sensor is functioning properly . They can get a lot of data in a short time . An hour of diagnostic time by a shop that is trained with high end tools may be money well spent . The dealer may want to sell you a new car .

Isnt this car under warranty?? A 2018 ??Honda should pay for this repair...I would call Honda customer service line and make them pay

[@williambarker7685]

My 2018 1.5T going through the same thing ..... 110k miles on it so unfortunately it’s out of warranty, donno if my next one will be a Honda after this...

[@jamesmedina2062]

@@williambarker7685 Why so many miles? Its an Accord?

[@HristovRumen]

And just like that you showed the same diagnostics that Honda likely followed before coming up with their recall on the original fuel injectors when they first released these 1.5gdi garbages. These engines were seizing left, right and center due to these spraying too much.

[@rob4f258]

My 2018 accord 1.5 touring is doing the same thing but the Honda dealership is telling me that all cylinders are "passing". Any idea of what I should do

[@urbanbarbe]

[@gertpetersson3570]

Awsome!

No after fix shot? 🤔

[@sabertoothduck]

Run injector cleaner every 2500 miles, Seems like a maintenance issue due to gas

[@norbertocelerino2277]

Hey, Is that engine rattling normal?

[@luismarty1685]

How many miles did this vehicle have?

How does a lean fuel cause carbon tracking ?

[@yasir8104]

Where are located places

[@toddk1479]

I wonder why the dealership couldn’t diagnose bad injectors? Basic. I’m not a mechanic and I thought to myself bad injectors.

[@ganguiano6853]

Did you ever fix that accord and how?
