Are these parts for the 05 acura TL also?

[@richardperez4505]

Just completed this and wooohoooo! Vtec works. Perfect solution! Paid 600 bucks for a clean low mile. 06 Element that wouldn't stay at 65. I just floated down the Hwy at 80...no problem. Along with a new tensioner and window regulator im at $735 total investment. Thanks so much!

[@jaguars08221]

Helpful hint remove the passenger front tire and remove the access panel that is built into the inner fender well and you can get to the vetch much easier than laying across your engine.

You’re an old stool mechanic. Working on cars no matter what the weather is.

[@MichaelMantooth]

Im going to be replacing my timing chain tomorrow and the vtec gasket and oil pressure switch and God knows what else. My patience is gone from waiting on the timing chain. I have watched You Tube over and over. I think i can do it but not without some bad words😂. I know Me very well. Thank God for your Posts and everyone else too. And everyones Comments.

[@jeroen7699]

A spare Accord in the yard, always comes in handy. 😄

[@mriduljayan4466]

Thank you, fixed this using your help. Loved how you lay over the engine. Followed that technique

[@bluefox12factsbeforefeelin58]

Crazy how you did a solenoid video yesterday, when I just ordered the gasket for it. And needed a video on how to do it. Hahaa perfect timing 💯

[@RamirosWhateverVideos]

You can open the hood even more by putting the rod on the lower slot at the end of the hood as opposed to the slot where you have it in this video, this way you don't bang your head on the rod.

[@marklo4416]

Just replaced the whole unit of VTEC Solenoid. Here's Honda OEM Part#15810-RAA-A03 for $184.77. Took me one and half hour.

[@anthonylewis2884]

Did it solve your problem? Mines is leaking

[@plutodread97]

how the car running when you replaced it ?

[@bobfather1978]

You the best videos on accords lad you will be a great mechanic

[@paquesepas6696]

Did this ultimately solve the problem? I've seen many people replace just the oil pressure solenoid and it solved the code and the 3000rpm limiting acceleration. Thanks.

[@edwinvalladares6540]

Great video! Will replace mines tomorrow

[@thomasmortellaro5468]

I have a 2006 honda pilot fwd , I recently disconected my positive battery terminal to clean off some carostion , when I recconected it my ac now blows warm air , it was working fine before I did this . do you have an idea about this .

[@refone2587]

Loved the details ! Thanks man. I have this accord and I need to do 170k maintenance

[@lawrenceevans5597]

Can you do a video on how to change p0752 shift solenoid A please..

[@therealcaptainmarvel2763]

After market or OEM for better life span?

[@plutodread97]

oem always

[@johnniecrain7986]

Will a lot of oil drain out when take off that assembly?

[@enrriqueflores1260]

Just a little bit, be careful if u are under the car

[@alfredosolis5464]

Thank you sir , did as what you demonstrated and 👍

[@xclusiive8397]

Switched it out w a old one but code came back on after a drive along w P0302 with misfiring in no2 cylinder any help ?

[@MakeItHappen223]

Same smh

[@Mazboz]

5:46 he hits his head reallllll good. Replayed it about 15 times. Take a little gander at 13:20 too. Poor head of his- Great video though!

[@esekillerray]

You are really pretty what’s your Instagram

[@kimjuno2975]

We did this and unit started no issue...we let it sit 24hr and was shocked it wouldn't start only turn over...we remover the new solenoid and when back to old that scan OBD code 2646, nothing STILL, just turns over NO start? any advice?? Thanks Kim

[@sigmundburdin8485]

This new symptom is likely unrelated to the valve. You may have accidentally removed a wire or two that involves ignition. Check all wires on this unit, nearby, andy involving your battery, clean and tight electrical connections.

[@MichaelMantooth]

I have a friend who has that same problem with his Acura and someone told him to beat the top of his steering column a few times. He did and it started.😂 Makes no sense to me either

[@rigobertocontrerascastillo5937]

Are the bolts holding the back selonoid reverse Threads beacuse I am using the old lefty loosy and righty tidy method and can get them loose

[@plutodread97]

great job thanks

[@batrarohit1]

Amazing! So helpful

[@zorro7798]

What if I’m still having the same code? P2646

[@beboalicea1447]

I’m having an oil leak on my passenger side in the rear of the engine it’s leaving a couple drops of oil all over my drive way do you think the vtec is my problem?

[@EyeOnAiman]

There are many possible causes for an oil leak. If you're familiar with cars, I suggest you try to look around the web for possible causes and investigate the cause yourself. Since I probably won't be able to provide specific guidance on this, I suggest that you bring your car to a mechanic to check, since it's better to be safe than sorry. Cheers!

[@riotherealest23]

What year is it

[@leuchtrakete7093]

My honda leaks oil...i have a vtec can it be from the solenoid? But i hardly drive it in vtec

[@jmanlarg]

Can you show how to remove the dashboard

[@gloglo1275]

Hello, Would a faulty spool valve give misfires? I have new spark plugs, moved the coils to the cylinder indicating an issue, and the misfire still on that cylinder. Removed the side solenoid, and cleaned it. Verified it was working. Fuel injectors all 4 make it almost stall when removing one at a time. Same with ignition coils one at a time. It has a flashing check engine light and it shakes pretty bad at 35mph+. Thanks

[@SoSlow252]

Your coil needs to be replaced

[@gloglo1275]

@@SoSlow252 Actually it was indeed the vtec gasket. It was clogged .

[@SoSlow252]

@@gloglo1275 at least yours was a simple fix. I just took mines off and mine is pretty clean. Gonna see if the piston in the solenoid actually moves. I'm thinking the vtc actuator took a shit

[@gloglo1275]

@@SoSlow252 Man I checked everything and I couldn’t figure it out and it wasn’t until I decided to take get my wife another car that they mechanic at the dealership told me oh year we had an issue and check the rear vtec module and sure enough. $8 fix!!!!

[@SoSlow252]

@@gloglo1275 damnnnn lmao. I'm gonna try my luck with the vtc actuator and see if it fixes the issue..

[@ilovenythismuchilovenewyor5801]

was the car making a ticking type sound? before you did all this ??

[@plutodread97]

did you ever find out ?

[@MakeItHappen223]

The screener doesn’t come on the solenoid?

[@SWFLJetSkiRiders]

I replaced the whole Valve, oil and front screen , still same issue. Any idea ?

Once upon a time I too could fit on top my Ford engine. Not sure I or my Honda would enjoy it.

Need help with my honda.. the vsa light Will light up after drivit it and it wont let me rev it pass 3000

[@andrewmarely9774]

ever find a solution? im having same problems

[@antorome2266]

My rsx doesn't have a check engine light but it doesn't rev past 5 rpms. So I'm guessing it's on limp mode. Douse any one out there know what the problem could be.

[@HunchoMig21]

Check your oil level bro. Happened to me couple days ago was limping after 4K rpms. Check oil level first. If not, then start looking for the leak near the VTEC Solenoid.

[@MichaelMantooth]

I bought an 08 Accord that supposedly had a bad transmission but i Googled the problem and the guy said there is a relay under the hood and i opened the fuse box and the top was gone off of it so i replaced it and i got a great car for 200 dollars.

[@MichaelMantooth]

Oh my Accord wouldn't Rev up either so the relay was the problem.

[@J1wil23]

I've changed mind multiple times and also change out the unit. And I'm still leaking

You don't need to remove heat shield

It would be helpful if you showed us how to pull the clips out rather then say “it’s already done”

No honda bond or gasket maker

Your camera moving so fast, that mean not easy to know you show

[@anthonyhamburg8885]

Thank you for this video

[@HumbertoHacked]

Good point! Never buy Solenoid products from Amazon.. They're all complete shit and a waste of time. Go to a major auto parts retailer or buy a genuine part from Ebay or any other trusted online seller

[@pistolpaulie4871]

Honda will only take OEM solenoid.

[@angelmods5064]

wait you don't know what your doing but telling us how to do it. okay next video I go.
