I Bought A $250 Honda Pilot On OfferUp

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

I fixed the Pilot the day of uploading this video...have been daily driving it since. Video coming soon.

[@bubuzshit]

What was the fix?

[@jamesshin4901]

Hey, really curious about the fix!! Hahaha! Thanks!!

[@caribbeanqueen5589]

Good for you because I trying to figure out what was the problem as well. #HondaDiva

Imagine paying 10’s of thousands for a new car then selling it for $250

[@JDMHaze]

Poutasio Sonor sorry dide but $3000 wouldve been good for this mileage jn good condition, $250 is extremely low

[@StevenTristanTristansti]

@@trollerblade1011 133 thousand miles is nothing for a 17 year old car, this must have been a secondary vehicle or the owner must have lived very close to their job.

[@NerdyMeathead]

@@JDMHaze This car has prob been a nightmare at the end of its life to the owner. Especially when you spent alot money to try and fix it. The laides mechanic prob told her it needs a new engine. Try selling a car that you think the engine is blown for 3000 and lets see how many calls you get

[@JDMHaze]

Anthony Efx Please re-read the comment, I said 3000 in good condition for the mileage your hair, in the condition it's in now maybe 1000 would've been fair as a mechanic special, but 250 is extremely low you can get 1000 in parts alone

[@gdenon]

VPS (valve pause system stuck off) In this scenario, when the oil pressure sensor on the rear cylinder bank (bank 1) goes bad, the engine runs on 3 cylinders, even at idle! An easy way to diagnose this is to disconnect the sensor from the rear cylinder head and see of those 3 cylinders fire up.

[@danielandujar5479]

Man for real??? I have a 2003 white Honda pilot That is running on those 3 cylinders 4-5 & 6 and I 've been putting everything Related with . Honda guy told me the comp was bad. I don't believed him but I ended up buying it And still the same... My honda is like new low mileage. Broo I'm going to change that part! If that fixed I'm going to give you a hog Broo👣 You should see how my engine fires up And how the engine stays without shaking Even on 3 Cylinders. I 've been with this problem for almost a year You don't know how many people's on KZbin I 've asked and some don't answer me... No ones can't tell me. An tonight I 'am here watching this guy with this deal and his problem And you mentions this... If I fixit you hit the LOTO👀👃👀 Thanks in advance. And may The Lord Bless👈 Well that's my situation you just mentioned.. Lets 👀👃👀 Can you tell me where the VPS sensor is located On my 2003????????

[@Babucuk]

Probably the lady used the car city only, short trips, low revs etc and clogged the engine

[@kelvindavid722]

Waiting to see the final result on this interesting video. I once bought a clean 1996 toyota camry 3.0 with 110k miles on it for $350, great car with lots of codes and misfire, i fixed the entire issues just by cleaning the airflow sensor, and all six injectors, fixed a vacuum leak. 138k miles later, got a $1,200 it.

[@JayHartMusic]

bro had this same problem on our 04 I changed coils, plugs sensors etc... come to find out the problem was the gasket under the plenum, was upside down, its easy to put it on backwards because it looks like it supposed to be installed upside down which infact looks the correct way but its not and what it was doing was dumping fuel and once I seen a KZbin video who had the same problems as us he flipped that gasket as did I and boom the problem was fixed, don't know if it will fix yours but its a try, my motor had 150k on it

[@robertrocheville7769]

Just answered the same thing

[@cryptopher9163]

we have a 04 pilot. its started running sluggish and getting harder to start. long story short, Honda told us we had bad gas. we started using Cheveron and Shell 87 octane gas and noticed an improvement in a month and 6 months later runs great again.

[@gosportjamie]

I like the cable ties holding the radiator grille and bumper cover on... Clearly another vehicle where the owner hit everything except the lottery...

Here in California people like to “Part out” the good cars and put the good parts on shitty cars.. especially offer up or marketplace

[@coolguy10098]

Lots of thieves over there like to tear down a car in less than 30 seconds and leave it without rims, engine and transmission. Stripped down and sold into parts, sometimes even the parts are used by thieves to customize cars into their own liking.

Really enjoyable video dude. We don’t get the Pilot in the UK but it looks like a big CRV which is hugely popular here. Good to see it being rescued and brought back to life.

[@shahzaibahmad6886]

Like others said in the comments, please check the timing! I had a 2004 Acura TL with a similar J-series engine. I replaced the timing belt but a few months later the timing jumped from a faulty timing belt tensioner. I had a horrible random misfire, soaked spark plugs, and had the same issue where the engine would stall during a power balance test. After weeks of diagnosis from myself and mechanics, putting the engine back in time with a new timing belt kit fixed my issue.

[@debeerpaul]

With Hondas make sure you reset all the computers before swapping parts. I had a bad idle on my 09 accord when I bought it and after lots of trouble shooting and swapping coils etc I found that by doing the reset with the pedal worked perfectly. (Switch the ignition to on but not start, then keep the pedal to the floor for 30-50 seconds.)

[@DarnLevel]

Al started getting pissed😂 “It’s like I did nothing! Absolutely nothing!”🤣 Sounds like me and my Mercedes

[@user-yk4oq4wz4d]

we had a ford escape come into school one day with problems like this. it was a ford escape. it burned out 3 cats before we got it. nobody could figure out the misfire, turns out the 2 adjacent cylinder coils were plugged in opposite.

[@kingjlinza]

Richard Stasko that reminds me, when I was in high school, those early 2000s Ford Escapes were the most often donated car to my auto tech class. Every single time one got donated, they have been completely run into the ground.

[@clayton7825]

My guess is ECU. Not a Honda mechanic. Had a Durango with a dead cylinder. Tried swapping coils and plugs and the issue didnt move. Turned out the ECU was not firing the coil. Ran like new with new ECU.

[@thevacdude]

These Pilots are nice, though they exhibit transmission issues, I still like them.

[@mlj1111]

All I can find on offerup is scammers as far as cars go.

[@stevelozano9523]

Maybe the timing jumped a tooth? Timing could be off.

[@ashleylocklyn9975]

These SUV's are dangerous, my dad owned one and his transmission went out while he was on the highway, lost control and got into an accident. Now he's in a wheel chair, thanks Honda.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

ashley locklyn yes the transmissions are problematic without maintenance

[@ryanpham3308]

Maintenance negligence is to blame.

[@andy-pd4eh]

@@ryanpham3308 Maybe not. Many Pilots had transmission failures when the radiator failed, causing ATF to mix with cooling fluid. Well documented point of failure.

[@navi_exl]

I got a 2007 Honda Pilot EXL with 197,800 miles on it. Had to do a 730$ engine rebuild on it because the valves and the heads were bent and had to do an engine rebuild to get it back up and running back to operational condition. Now it’s running and driving very strong now. Mine being an EXL includes the navigaton, back up camera, etc.... so I mean it’s got everything and anything a new car has except it’s not like a smart keyless entry. Or you know power trunk, etc.... but for the most part I love my Honda Pilot to death and it’s got the Aberdeen, blue exterior color and I love it so much. The transmission is perfect and it shifts and runs and drives like brand new now after the engine rebuild was done for. If it wasn’t for a little piece on the head that didn’t come loose or fell off and got stuck in it my engine wouldn’t of gotten any damage. My pilot ran like shit too as well after the engine had miracously broke down by the time it got home. So it took over a month for them to fix my pilot and diagnose it so anyways had to get the heads and valves to the shop to get bent back straight and also get new heads on one side just to get it back to operating and get it back to running and driving like brand new again. I love my Honda Pilot too much. It drives so smoothly and so perfectly down the road. Going 65 mph it sits at 2,000 rpm. Which is very good. I also have VTM-4WD which is really nice and helps a lot too. So hopefully my Honda Pilot should last along time too now after the engine rebuild.

[@thatsteveguy18]

You should really check the timing, recent job or not. Rule that out.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Stephen Whitaker checked the timing it’s where it should be

[@s10_4_life6]

Could be ur catalytic converter that's Clogged up, It would cause it to run like crap like that too, May be worth a shot of taking it off

[@bamascot1]

The hose between the air filter and the throttle can get a crack in it and it sucks in unmeasured air.

[@robertrocheville7769]

Not on this vehicle because it's speed density, not mass air flow.

[@JDMHaze]

wouldn't that trip the maf sensor codes and air flow value codes

[@robertrocheville7769]

It doesn't have a mass air flow sensor. That didn't start until like 2006.

[@JDMHaze]

Robert Rocheville really? wow

[@Krazy5530]

Dont forget, many cars need to do a TPS relearn procedure when replacing that module. Throwing a new one in isnt always enough. Not sure if you figured out the issue yet, just figured id throw in my 2 cents.

[@lilibethdoherty295]

The TPS is a common problem on Hondas as well the Idle control valve not unusual to be next to a Honda in traffic and you hear the idle surge and see that the clear is peeling of the paint, a sure sign of a vehicle has never had any care whatsoever.

[@iiatargetanalyst3046]

Three suggestions 1. Fuse box wiring itself could have a loose wire. It would cause no start as wont stay running issue. Engine needs fuses as relays 2. What of ignitition switch? Wires cracked? Intermet work /not work 3. Check Battery. Is alternator keeping Battery charged? Is alternator malfunc? Perhaps its pigtails

[@mauriceortiz1557]

Thank you, Bil Al ^_^ Great find and great repair analysis :-)

[@eternall808]

My daily driver is, 2004 Honda Pilot EX. I love it!

[@fredmaxwell9619]

I would say it is an electrical issue and those 4 coils are not receiving the signal to fire, I would test for that. Just pull a plug out and connect the coil to it and see if fires (sparks) when the engine is cranked or use a plug that is just sitting around. No spark it is an electrical problem, if they spark then carry on fuel and air issues. No spark maybe the engine control module or there maybe a a resistor bank where 3 of the resistors are bad (assuming cylinders share a resistor) or wiring.

[@armmacd3325]

For some people leasing every 3 years may be a better option when they don't want to take care of the vehicles

[@MrWoodyBalto]

Al, I love your video's. I only wish you would provide us with your awesome video's more frequently. About the Honda, you should contact the original owner and ask if this poor running condition came on all at once or did it get worse and worse over time till it got to it's current state. That might help with finding the problem.

[@paullapiana4418]

Find the vacuum leak... It may be running rich because of the leak and the ECU is making adjustments which is showing on the spark plugs... Check for broken fuses relating to the coils... The injectors will continue to run without spark causing the spark plugs to be always wet

I got a 2006 honda pilot with 290k miles running great, i would take it easily for $250

Al when you replace a throttle body or any sensors on the throttle body you have to do a relearn. Google Honda pilot throttle body relearn. It's there and I bet it will help. My Hondas and volvo and toyotas all needed that done and it was perfect

[@SmudgyContent]

Only with the 6cylinder they had issues with the transmissions.... atleast thats only ones that came in with transmission issues, its like the 6 cylinder engine was pushin to much power maybe is why them ones always had rhe bad transmission

[@brentfarnsley2028]

You need to do a valve adjustment. It is due at 105,000 miles. This will cause your multiple misfire. Most of the time it is very tight exhaust valves. I had the same issue on mine and when I did the adjustment it smoothed it out.

[@j-vsautogarage6069]

Sounds like a intake manifold gasket leak ...spray starting fluid around the intake and the injectors see if it revs up.....

[@20eightballs]

That's crazy I'm working on a exact same honda pilot lol mine is a 2006, i bought it 3 months ago to flip it.. mine has the same exact issues, except this ones drivable, I've changed fuel injectors, coils, spark plugs, compression was excellent, I would unplug the same coils as yours and it'll still run, I gave up on it 2 months ago and finally decided to work on it again this past weekend. I started to think the crank position sensor was bad since I noticed it had a previous leaking power steering pump and those leak directly into the timing covers I figured the CPS might have oil in between the connector. Soo I took it apart and sure enough the connector had oil in it and there was allot of crud and gunk in between the crank shaft and magneto, I'm hoping there was a disturbance signal because of that and reason it was causing the multiple miss fire.... haven't has a chance to put back together yet but im crossing my fingers that fixes my issue.

Have an 06 pilot, ran the same way about 3 hours after i bought it. Was also getting misfire code and it ran like trash. Ended up being trash oil in it. My mechanic did 2 engine flushes. (think thats what they were called, just cans of something he put in the oil twice i think. It runs great now! still get misfire codes every once and a while, but it runs just fine.

[@michaelkuzmadutton7879]

Marvel Mystery Oil. If the engine mounts are gone, she didnt maintain the vehicle which means she put the cheapest gas in she could and probably added oil instead of changing it.

[@heightzkid193]

10:55 we’re not gonna have any of that 🤣🤣🤣

[@deomartinez77]

With the misfires you are having are going to need to figure out which valve is throwing the misfire code. The issue is going to be one of or a combination of bad spark plug, ignition coil, fuel injector or cable. I would do the full tune up and replace them each and if its still doing it, I would look at the timing belt and maybe even the fuel pump. If it's still struggling do a compression test and pray that you don't need to have the engine rebuilt or the piston rings replaced.

[@josephcappella4628]

Full tune up

[@shawnditto6716]

Check for fule in oil if none I'd change fuel pump b4 taking intake off...if fuel is in oil then I would change injectors first...but must see fuel pressure to make final decisions lol your on the right track thow...

[@NickMyers1]

If timing belt was done three years ago, it isn’t timing. Or not likely. Nothing jumped. You need to smoke that engine and look for vacuum leaks - I can hear it even with intake tube on. Once engine is sealed, I think next is time for wiring review. The fact that the plug and coil swap changed nothing suggests this! I doubt injector issues. And while the fuel pressure could be a problem it doesn’t match the symptoms currently. See if you can acquire the ignition coil wiring diagrams from each cylinder to the pcm. Verify wire integrity. Ohm it out. Verify power and ground signals. A corroded ground wire, broken connector, chaffed wire that rubbed through from a missing wire hold down... the salty south Florida climate does no favors. Hope it’s something like that - wiring repair is infinitely cheaper just much more time consuming! Good luck.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Nick Myers that vacuum leak sound you hear is the idle air control valve, which I have tested and replaced and it’s still doing the same thing.

[@NickMyers1]

Big Al's Bike & Auto ok cool. Well if vacuum is good, you’re onto electrical now. Putting the load of pulling the car forward on 2 cylinders won’t work. By having no change in running with coils plugged or unplugged that’s my clue. And since you hot swapped coils and plugs and it stayed the same, with all the plugs being soaked in gas (meaning injectors are firing) - you have an electrical wiring problem. Not sure how Honda commands coil firing - common power with command via ground on PCM? Or? If you can test the connectors and see if you have power and ground to them based on the requirements from Honda you will get some additional clues. Have any friends at a shop or dealer that can provide schismatics and parameter values ? A test light and a volt meter is all that should be needed to test for now.

[@MrWoodyBalto]

@@NickMyers1 I agree with your assessment for the same reasons. It has to be an electrical issue. Those 4 coils are not getting the current needed to fire for some reason.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Nick Myers I think you’re on the right track for sure.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Nick Myers I just tested all the connectors for the coils and they all have power

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Richard Seaman in the amount of time you spent writing your comment you could have seen the fix video is on my channel.

[@Jose-xb6st]

Just an advice, Before you start buying parts, you should do simple tests before like combustion and compression test, vacuum leaks, check the fuel pressure test before the injectors. It could have been the fuel pump This Pilots 2003-2004 are typically have bad fuel pumps because there's a filter inside the fuel assembly that get clogged and it has to be replaced completely. I know because I still have my Pilot 2004 and all those symptoms came into my pilot and after replaced the entire fuel pump assembly all great. I also replaced the plugs and coils and is running great. This models 2003-2004 are also typically have bad transmissions, so it is imperative to change oil every 30k miles.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Jose did you watch the video at all? Or did you watch a few minutes and leave this comment?

[@Jose-xb6st]

I watch half of the video to be honest, I just gave you an advice, before buying parts is always good to make all the proper test first and you will save time. You purchased the TPS sensor kit and an EGR that you might not need because you said that the problem was fixed with the replacement of injectors. If you do the Fuel Pressure test at first you would have detected the problem at the beginning and didn't have to buy EGR Valve and The TPS kit of an junkyard. I know that sometimes cars are hard to guess, but it just a humble opinion. Have a great day. I will watch the all video.

[@Jose-xb6st]

By the way for 250.00 that's a steal. This vans are very good.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Jose the first test that should ever be conducted is a simple OBD2 scan, which revealed a code for the TPS sensor, so I changed it. Also had a P1399 code which is for clogged/dirty EGR, so I changed that. Logically we go by codes first, then start doing tedious testing only when codes are wrong or misleading.

[@bigalsbikeandauto]

Jose if you bought a car and it had a check engine light on for an 02 sensor would you go test your coils for spark or would you go buy a replacement 02 sensor?

[@danieltracy9801]

A close friend of mine had an 07 and the CEL came on and showed all of the same symptoms as yours, ended up needing all 3 catalytic converters replaced! $1000 job, yikes! He got a new Camry soon thereafter lol

check for a vacuum leak and my guess is the plugs that connect to the injectors could be bad and only to are getting the power the other is getting power. when I say plugs I don't mean the spark plugs but the ones you unplugged that connect to the injectors. fuel going into the cylinders but not firing also check and see if fuel is pouring out the exhaust.
