Honda Accord Vtec Solenoid & Oil Filter Housing Gasket Replacement

[@JohnG-t7z]

Thank you, your video saved the day! Prefect explanation and the part link was a perfect fit for my 2000 honda accord v6. Fairly easy repair, saved hundreds of dollars and no trip needed to the mechanics shop. Thanks again!

[@redtango75]

Thanks this was exactly what I needed. Between this and the convoluted power steering that leaks every 30K...

[@czarguzman2927]

Just finished completing this job and thanks to you and your video it was a success. Again thank you 💯

@Blue Collar Garage I literally just did this today 7/23/22 on my 2000 Honda Accord EX V6 Sedan. I opted for all 3 OEM Honda gaskets/o-rings. I had oil all over the oil adapter housing, all over my oil pan etc. I was pretty sure you had a video on this so I figured I would pop in and take a look even though I knew how to do it. My Accord has 362k miles right now. Next on the list is I need to check those transmission solenoids you did a video on due to some shifting issues and codes P0700 and P0730. I also need to remove and clean the IAC since I am getting a P0505 code and idle surges. Fun fun fun! Thanks a lot for your detailed video. I enjoy working on mine. Had it 22 years so far, purchased new and same engine 🙂

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Glad my videos were able to help you out. 362k on the original motor and trans that’s awesome and that just shows if you keep up on the routine maintenance of any car from day one it will last a very long time. Haven’t had any issues yet with the IAC valve. The p0700 is most likely being thrown due to the p0730 that’s popping up and yeah I’d start with checking the solenoids and trans fluid.

Thanks for showing how to remove the clips…I was having the hardest time removing them so I only replaced oil filter housing gasket.

[@freddurfman9648]

EXCELLENT! Great camera work! Every intricate detail covered -including the little tab on the pesky Honda harness retaining clips! Dang things can be tricky and we’re often moving the tab the wrong way - and often doing it blind. Nice work all around. Thanks

[@larrysellers8811]

Thanks friend, you took the mystery out of what i was getting into.

[@donjohnson3701]

Thanks for the excellent vid, just cruising youtube for future reference for a 2004 Acura TL. The repair manual I have doesn’t address the vtec solenoid. It looks like a straight forward preventative repair. I’ll go ahead and pick up the gasket and o-rings for replacement when I change the oil. Just looked up the FelPro set at autozone for $14.99! Just waiting for warmer weather to do the oil change!

[@linhhunt6248]

Yours was the best so far. Very clear picture was perfect. Thank you

[@timbevers202]

Good video, thanks! I am getting the P1259 so I will start with the oil change and go from there.

[@robv5343]

Thank you so much for this video, I have an oil leak on my 02 accord and also thought it was from the oil pan bolt but now after seeing this I think that’s going to be where it’s leaking from… now to get the courage to work on it!!

[@shardeaorr9137]

I love the small details this video helped a bunch thank you

[@thecalmthea]

Thanks for the great video! 🙏🙌 What would be the torque specs for sensor, 2 bolts for solenoid, and 3 bolts for the Vtec? Thanks again!

[@dwainegayle612]

Hey love your videos I had just replace my v tech solenoid everything was placed on like seen in your video only thing Is my connector to the v tech solenoid won’t get the click sound it just is on not sure what I should to will it still be able to work?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

Yeah should work you just don’t want it rattling lose. Just take a small ziptie or two and ziptie both connectors together I’ve done this before with no problems.

[@dwainegayle612]

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE one more question rite I changes the vtec like I said I feel a difference for sure but when accelerate from sma stop postion I’ll still feel my car jerk just not as hard only first gear tho but the rest on the gears shifts out like a dream wat should I do , should I do a transmission flush and put lube guard ?

[@robcarter533]

😮 Very well demonstrated. Do you think it's a good idea to go ahead and change the sensor also?

[@rb-ro2po]

Thank you so much for this! I can fix my car now

[@micolusrichardson4228]

When I took the oil filter housing off the other end of the wire attached to the solenoid came off off with it. Where does that wire attach?

[@balkee42]

Is there ever a reason to replace that whole assembly? Like does the vtec solenoid ever go bad?

[@czarguzman2927]

I appreciate your video very helpful and well explained. This info sure helps a lot. Thanks for Sharing

[@franciscomrtinaez2122]

Thank you for your video very valuable to me I’m next working on it 👍

[@epedrego]

You seem to imply that you don’t need to drain the oil, can it be done with oil in the engine without making a huge mess?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

You do not have to drain the engine oil there will be no oil pressure when removing it because the engine is not running.

Hi. at 13:00, can you accidentally mix the two grey connectors up when reconnecting? and what happens if you do?

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

No they have different style plugs that way you won't get them mixed up.

Not sure what 3 bolts your talking about. At which part of the video?

[@ResilientTrades]

@@BLUECOLLARGARAGE hi thanks for responding @11:30…. Is that an extension bar with a ratchet of some sorts if so what size drive is the extension bar to break the bolts loose 1/2”?

[@ResilientTrades]

Sorry meant about 3:45 in

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

@@ResilientTrades just a normal 12mm socket and wrench or you can also use a breaker bar to break them loose.

[@BLUECOLLARGARAGE]

@@ResilientTrades I just used a 3/8" ratchet with a 6" extension and then a 12mm socket.

Nice! Thanks 👍🏾

Great video!

[@pcno2832]

3:08 I assume that black cat that suddenly appears and disappears as you open the oil drain plug is real, not some kind of apparition. But if it's not, you might want to avoid walking under ladders for a while.

It looks like it,s coming from the knock sensor or head gasket not for sure any advice you can give me will be helpful
