Honda: Earth Dreams 3.5 GDI Replacing Fuel Injectors

[@malware_in_tn9008]

We’re so used to being entertained by Eric that sometimes I think we forget how useful these can be for folks looking for a DIY video. To that end, thanks for FF’ing through the bolt removals.

[@larrycroft470]

Eric O you are not only one of the most knowledgeable Master Mechanic/Technicians in America but more importantly one of the best dads too - as evidenced by you & Mrs O's extremely intelligent well behaved & personable children!! Y'all are doing it all the right way Brother. Plus you have a mega successful family oriented you tube channel. I know it takes sacrifice on both of your's parts to produce these videos - and i sure appreciate what i have learned & how i have been inspired over the years. Thank you.

[@JPAutoService]

I love when service data says "remove and discard". I did a steering rack on a Traverse yesterday and service data says to discard the gigantic subframe bolts, after 1 use they are ruined. Funny thing is, no dealers stock the bolts and we all know every single traverse has had the subframe bolts removed to do timing chains.

[@jmabs5096]

Gold! Typical GM move sounds like to me! Never throw out parts even if the data tells ya, only thing I like GM is to have folks who fix their junk is job security for life😂 "An old saying my me'ma tought me!"

[@buckhorncortez]

If they're torque-to-yield bolts, reuse is problematic because the bolts have been stretched when installed and can break if reused.

[@fucamaroo]

They call that torque to fail I guess.

[@michaelkrenzer3296]

@@buckhorncortez The specifc bolts he mentioned...I have yet to see a degree angle as part of the torque spec so odds are preety likely they are not torque to yeild. Most GM FWD/AWD subframe bolts as far back as the A-body have been in excess of 10mmthread diameter. I do not want to be the guy who has to "yield" those bolts and the sad body nuts would likely never survive it anyway.

[@mannys9130]

@@michaelkrenzer3296 Good point. Torque to yield bolts generally have a skinnier shank section which is the site of controlled plastic deformation. The degree torque step is the biggest hint at a torque to yield. I think the discarding is based on liability principle. I have always reused brake caliper slide pin bolts despite the Mercedes and Toyota FSM of my cars calling for replacement. If the fastener is not corroded, the threads look intact, not galled, not pulled at an angle from torquing, and the head to shank area does not look to be twisted or stretched, I reuse them. I do however, A L W A Y S clean the factory Loctite off the bolts completely, spray them off with brake cleaner as well as the bolt holes, and put blue Loctite back on them. If the principle is to replace the bolts due to the possibility of the tech not putting loctite back on them (nearly every factory replacement brake bolts I have seen has pre-applied Loctite), I am in the clear. Very polarizing decision for some reason. My boss hated it. "Never Loctite a brake part bolt!!! Stupid!" I always quipped back "Do you enjoy the idea of your brake caliper or bracket flopping around damaging the rim, hub, and possibly killing you? What's the matter with you? I'd rather need to torch every single one of these future comebacks than ship a car with no Loctite. I sure as hell ain't putting antiseize on them so don't even ask. THAT is stupid." TL;DR if it has no stretch shank section and it isn't aluminum and it has no degree torque step in the FSM, clean it off thoroughly and reuse it with new Loctite. No problems in my conscious or mind about doing that. 👍 Have and will do it on my personal vehicles and the vehicles of my loved ones.

[@dakotablackburn3054]

As a Honda tech whos done this same exact job mucho amount of times, I gotta say you kicked ass and i loved this video. As i watched i wanted to give you some tips, my trick to remove that upper intake is loosen those 3 ten mils on the computer, as opposed to popping off the cover, gives u just that little amount of clearance, trust me u can get a wrench in there between that bracket. Also, no need to try an unplug the injectors before you yank the fuel rail off, or unplug the high pressure pump. and YES honda does want you to replace that joint pipe in conjunction, if the jobs under warranty the parts kit will come with a new pipe, however when im doing it customer pay, all the customer usually buys is just the injectors. Your the first ive ever seen install them into the rail them slip that as an assembly back into the head, hell i might try that myself next time. i usually silicone s[ray the outside of the injectors, slip them into the head, grease that o ring on the outside of them, and then install the pipe on top of them. Nice job

[@christopherhylton8462]

Eric, I work at a Honda dealer and can say, without a doubt your diagnosis was on point. Any direct injected 3.5 that comes into the bay with p0300 class codes, bank lean or rich codes, or catalyst efficiency codes is caused by fuel injector(s). Honda has a service kit, as per the a certain service bulletin publish I know by heart, that comes with all injectors, seals and gaskets, high pressure tube, and the lubricant that is used on the coupling ends of the high pressure line (comes in a small syringe) to ensure leak-proof connection. Typical, I replace at least 3 sets of injectors in a months time, it is a common issue, it seems to occur when the injectors have 50 to 60k miles on them. Just a tip, when I do them, I install the injector into the heads first then install the rails on them. That way, I can twist them slightly back and forth and actually feel the injectors slip into their happy place. Also, that EVAP purge sensor on the side of the intake, I just remove the two 8mm bolts holding it to the intake and remove the whole thing with the hose and electrical connector still hooked up. Nice job.

[@danr1920]

I have an Accord 4 cylinder with DI, 200,000 miles no issues...with anything,

[@christopherhylton8462]

@@danr1920 Yes, the problem for some reason is not as common on the 4 cylinders. Actually, I personally have never had to replace the injectors on a 4 cyl, but that is not to say no has. It is the 3.5 V6's mainly and even most of them do go beyond 60k miles with no issues. I suspect the self-diagnostic look-up tables programmed in the 4cyl. model have a wider range of tolerance before it commands the MIL to come on. I might be totally wrong but that is my guess.

[@straw242_]

I have a 2019 Honda Ridgeline with 42,000mi and I have to get my injectors replaced bcuz I'm getting the "Emission System Problem" light intermittently. Sucks I have to do this and haven't even paid it off yet. :(

Honda extended the warranty for fuel injectores on several years of Pilots to 10 years or 150,000 miles. Worth checking out.

[@louklein4794]

I was going to mention this as well. Our 2018 Odyssey and 2019 Ridgeline received the extension. Had the work performed on the Odyssey due to issues. They should be able to submit for reimbursement from the customer pay, if this VIN qualifies. I'd trust Eric over our local dealer.

As far as GDI, Honda has some of the easiest injectors to replace. No issues pulling them out and everything straight forward.

[@ennisgunns]

Mr. O. I have a jump box, test light, home made leads, switch, multimeter and some know how. From this I am usually able to rig a test. I have a side hustle and I win some and lose some. My last win was a dead starter. I was able to break down that the relay, solenoid, motor were all sound individually sound. But power would only activate the solenoid but not turn the motor. The motor itself was sound. I assumed the ground was sound (rookie move) and so my guess was the switch. I diagnosed a bad switch and a new starter assembly fixed things. Plenty holes in my analysis. My last fail was an engine overheat. Thermostat housing was cracked. I suggested a new thermostat as well. Struggled with the coolant temp sensor test (resistantance?). Fans, relays sound but they would not kick on. I was stumped. Following up with the customer, coolant level was low. Rookie move. I hate guessing and I want to improve. I am shaky with electrical diagrams, but I am always practicing new tests, poking at something. Any thoughts on my next move. Keep doing this or a class? I think I am ready for a poweprobe 4 and a relay test kit to simplify my test rig. 1. Take a class? or 2. Just keep taking on problems? Thoughts? Best wishes.

I did this same job on a 2017 ridgeline.. same symptoms and DTCs. Anyhoo.. I used RockAuto stuff (at the owner's request) and when reinstalling the super curvy fuel line it came with some liquid that was for use when torquing the nuts to the fuel line. I'm pretty sure this liquid was a mixture of unicorn tears and fairy dust... but the pressure built perfectly and no leaks.. so all good. I also replaced the upper and lower intake gaskets because I didn't want any vac leaks. This honestly isn't a bad job all in compared to some of the honda jobs.. but totally agree the PCM cover was the worst part, Final point .. howcome they label a part that'll only fit one way with a "toward fuel pump" but something that'll fit 7 different ways is blank??!

[@spelunkerd]

There's another procedure I've never seen, thank you. I can see why companies would be a little paranoid about fuel leaks, it's an area you can't see after you're done. I'm thinking the best way to check for a fuel leak would be before the intake goes on, so you can see a leak before it's all together. You can't run, but maybe just turn the key on and look for fuel pressure and a leaking connection?

I Look closely and replace when a doubt arises. And at my age I use a Magnufrier.

The injectors have a warranty extension on the injectors and some also need a software update . Honda came out with a whole injectors kit injectors , gaskets, and new, drain joint pipe

I just to work at a Honda dealership and they have a service bulletin on these injectors also for the ridge lines and odysseys i Believe it was 20-100

heck yea i know I've mentioned the mac battery ratchets before on the channel and I'm glad to see u finally have one!! they r indeed worth while. other than the lack of break away torque if u don't get a running start sometimes it won't have the balls
