Replace Cracked Air Intake Hose on a 9th generation Honda Civic (2012 - 2015)

This car is a 2014 Honda Civic EX and has 130,000 miles.
I got an P0171 error code, which means that the air-to-fuel ratio is too lean. The engine was receiving too much air into the combustion chamber and not enough fuel. The short term fuel trim was in the positive double digits (10% to 15%) trying to compensate for all the air leaking through the cracked hose (right after the mass air flow sensor).
While you are doing this job, I recommend to clean the throttle body and the mass air flow sensor. You can find the links below.

I liked the lack of commentary and came on here to say KZbin needs more of this

Thank you very much for your feedback. When I started, I asked myself what videos I like the most when trying to fix my car and they were the ones with no unnecessary music and less taking… right to the point. This is why I tried different styles and love these ones with no talking. Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks. It will help me on doing more videos like this.

followed this, throttle body, map/maf sensor cleaning. my intake hose was torn in two places, one towards back couldnt be patched with duct tape. car doesnt hesitate anymore, smooth acceleration. i stripped a maf sensor screw but was able to just clean it attached.

[@gotitdone]

That is awesome to hear! Great feeling when you can fix your own things. Have you replaced the PCV? It should be done every 60k miles. Very easy.

@@gotitdone seems like at least for 2015 civic, removing maf sensor after pulling out the air cleaner box is much much easier.

[@gotitdone]

@@butterfury I did one 2015 this weekend and I felt it like the same process. My case was that the ATF plug was out for a while and fluid was all over, so I had to clean all the area. I had to remove the battery and air box to have good access. And of course I cleaned the MAF. This is what happened. Have you seen this video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGLWgJWjqMxlp6M

[@gotitdone]

Yes. I have seen it many times

[@Yotapn]

My 2014 Honda Civic has bucking and I've seen videos saying this is the problem can I use duck tape for the time being till I get paid ??

[@gotitdone]

@@Yotapn yeah, but it won’t be a tight sealing because of all the grooves. And there might be cracks that you are not seeing. Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks.

All great except exposed battery terminals. I always keep few plastic terminal caps in my tool box, because having bunch of sparks or car fire is not fun

[@gotitdone]

That is a great tip. Thank you very much! I will do that from now on. I do have a pair of those caps.

[@timdao3456]

Thanks for the video! am having a hard time removing the maf sensor plug. Do you have to press the center of the plug then pull it out or just pulling it out? Any special tools required?

[@gotitdone]

No special tools. You do have to press the center and while keeping it pressed you pull the whole plug out.

[@gotitdone]

Check this video that has the exact same connector and you can see clearly how to disconnect it kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqatdnuZpthlra8si=a_3fk4O7hCW97JfN

[@gotitdone]

Please let me know how did you do or if you need more help. I can record a quick short video if you need it

[@aadilasad9958]

Is it necessary to put silicon paste at the back of the Air box?

[@gotitdone]

No, but it will help putting it back and removing it in the future. Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks. It will help me on doing more videos like this. I am regularly fixing things around the house and adding videos about it.

[@deathpuncher9343]

nice. how long did the installation take?

[@gotitdone]

Depends on how handy you are but I would say an hour and a half. While you are at it, clean the throttle body and the MAF sensor. Check my other videos for that. Please consider subscribing to my channel or a $thanks. It will help me on doing more videos like this.
