This step-by-step tutorial was performed on a 2007 Honda Accord which will require the removal of upper intake manifold which has the air inlet Chamber assembly, which could be helpful for those looking for a guide on how to remove the intake manifold or the Chamber Assembly (Honda 17160-RTA-000). For model years 2003-2005, there is no need to remove the Intake Manifold Inlet (17110-RAA-A10) or the air filter assembly & hoses. We're not sure about the 3.0L VTEC Accord but the process could be the same.
If you car won't start then most likely it is the starter motor. Starter Motor - How It Works: When you turn the key in your car’s ignition, the engine turns over and then cranks. Getting a crank requires a flow of air into the engine, which can only be achieved by creating suction. If your engine isn’t turning over, there’s no air. No air means that fuel can’t combust. The starter motor is responsible for turning the engine over during ignition and allowing everything else to happen. When you turn the ignition on, the starter motor engages and turns the engine over allowing it to suck in air. On the engine, a flywheel, with a ring gear attached around the edge, is fitted to the end of the crankshaft. On the starter, the pinion is designed to fit into the grooves of the ring gear. When you turn the ignition switch, the electromagnet inside the body engages & pushes out a rod to which the pinion is attached. The pinion meets the flywheel and the starter motor turns. This spins the engine over, sucking in air (as well as fuel). As the engine turns over, the starter motor disengages, and the electromagnet stops. The rod retracts into the starter motor once more, taking the pinion out of contact with the flywheel and preventing potential damage.

The primary function of the intake manifold is to evenly distribute the combustion mixture (or just air in a direct injection engine) to each intake port in the cylinder head(s). Even distribution is important to optimize the efficiency and performance of the engine. How Does an Intake Manifold Work? Air travels through the intake and the throttle body into the plenum of the intake manifold. When the intake valve closes, it creates pressure waves that send the air back up the runner. It then bounces off the plenum and comes back into the cylinder when the intake valve opens again.

This kid explains car things better than every adult I’ve tried to listen to. All of this experience will look great on the ol’ resume as an adult and eliminate all other candidates. If you even need to make one by then. Damn it! Good for you, Aiman, good for you. This is probably the first positive comment I have ever written on KZbin in my entire life.

[@jongonegone1262]

the cat gives him super powers. go aiman.

[@inaedemarughu8275]

Just changed my starter this afternoon. I watched a few shorter videos but they didn’t completely disconnect the exhaust manifold. I spent HOURS trying to do it their way but once I completed disconnected it and moved it out the way, I had so much more room to work to get the starter bolts out. Mind you, I did the entire job using only hand tools 🛠️ Thanks again

[@peeteywheatstraw]

This is a great video. I did this same project and would have saved time had I seen this video first. My intake has the chamber connected below it but I was ultimately able to get to the starter without having to fully remove the manifold. It ultimately worked out, but I had challenges with getting a good angle to loosen and tighten the nut on main power feed to the starter. Nice job with the video it will be helpful for many!

[@user-wk7ly9ur1q]

Very nice video thank you for taking your time to make the video👍🏼

[@JoannaA1973]

Your video helped tremendously! I was able to change out my broken starter with your help! Thank you !!!!!

[@roccity3968]

perfect video, followed this step by step and it worked great. I’m a young man, I really feel accomplished I did this with my brother and didn’t call a tow or hire a mechanic. Wouldn’t have been able to do it without your help. 👍

[@DK-zk1oc]

Great video. Excellent follow-along and great teaching throughout. Keep up the good work!

[@user-wo1dl9oq9z]

This kid is really good. Nice job!

[@edsone11]

Fantastic video thank you 🎉

[@DaSesh]

shout out dad, he reminded me i have the proper tool and i completed this without any hiccups.. lol

[@drsg9124]

will be rebuilding my starter along with replacing my motor mounts so having the manifold off will make that job easier. thanks!

[@mikebarbier1519]

You have a very mechanically inclined mind. My dad and I did this exact job today. Saw your video later. The parts where we got hung up and slowed down our progress to figure things out, …..you breezed through it and made it look easy. Very impressive. 👍

[@georgey7746]

Great work 👍🏼💯💯 keep going 💪🏼

[@rjohng8956]

very good job

[@roy71771]

i really like your videos on honda cars. they really are very informative, although sometimes you,ll have headache on how to remove the parts, where there's not much room to maneuver and patience is a virtue...10 thumbs up bro.

[@marcinwisniewski1666]

Thank you this vid

[@angelGotDrip]

Thanks for the video it helped me

[@EyeOnAiman]

Glad it helped you!

[@TourettesMobileMechanic]

Nice video but you can skip a few steps. FYI. Still. I needed this for a intake removal. Change the video name. 💥. You have the only good one on you tube. 🎉. Thank you. Very thorough and well done. I’ll give you a subscriber as well. 🎉🎉

[@gustavopelayo5571]

Exelente tutorial 👌🏽

[@lpd-8549]

Nice job, thanks for the video. I am currently doing this exact repair on an '07 Accord and your video was very helpful.

[@chaabraaah5823]

I have an 07 as well. So guaranteed to have that intake eh?

[@rollinsjax1227]

thank you you video very good

[@EyeOnAiman]

Thank you for watching!

Hello EyeOnAiman, there is a position at all manufacturers of every automobile and truck called a Time Study Technician.They get paid very good money to do just what you are doing here. I believe that you would be very good at it.

[@Victor-tm2kl]

Nice

[@chibba5418]

the last bolt on the mani is such a pain

[@zachariehernandez7387]

How did you not get coolant everywhere with those two hoses?

[@texas3258]

How do you install the other gasket 😓

[@Dean-rs2nt]

Are you able to at least access the knock sensor without removing the chamber assembly ?

[@garrettsontag7813]

This is what I am wondering. I couldn't figure out why this job was so easy for everybody else online until I realized I have the dang chamber assembly for the upper intake manifold in my 2007 accord. No wonder I am struggling so much. I refuse to take apart the engine so I am hoping I have some better luck

[@Dean-rs2nt]

@@garrettsontag7813 i wound up having to bring mine to a garage to get done... And.. Apperantly Honda Cars are smart enough to recognize genuine vs generic parts... Car still kept popping the code light with a generic Honda knock sensor... Had to use a Genuine to fix the issue

[@garrettsontag7813]

@@Dean-rs2nt appreciate you responding. I might have bought a cheaper part to save money. Dang, that's good to know. I moved out of state recently and so I don't have a car guy anymore, and that makes things tricky

[@Dean-rs2nt]

@@garrettsontag7813 Hey no problem... Yeah i was lucky i only came to know this by trial and error.. My mechanic wanted to start looking into wire-tracing as he thought it may be an ECU malfunction... i was lucky i managed to convince him to try the genuine part i got my hands on first ( and it was used ). Saved a whole lot of money on an unnecessary job.

[@AFatherToTheFatherless]

Hi I'm aiman

[@eliasyoung7709]

The bottom hose connection on my intake is pooring coolant

[@zachariehernandez7387]

Same. Did you ever figure that out?

[@eliasyoung7709]

All I can say was it wasn’t important enough, I changed my starter in a hotel parking lot with a 105 piece craftsman toolset. Just buy a thing of coolant to top it off. Believe it has to do with air coolant

[@mack93936]

He said when he learns how to drive .

[@SK-kt7ti]

Man I can't get that bottom bolt off the manifold intake

[@bwarren3690]

use a penetrating oil, leave for a day and it is easier.

I think I will just buy a new car. Lol
