Hey backyard chevy, I have a tick in my engine too. Similar to this. After a while and once it warms up the ticking goes away. Could it be this same valve that is giving me problems? Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

[@2ss701]

So if when you first start the car and it’s quiet then when it warms up a little it starts to purge so there’s supposed to be a little clicking but then it closes?

[@ThatOneWJ99]

Thats exactly what mine sounds like. Even when i start driving it goes faster

[@mattclemente1922]

I was able to take the valve off without removing the airbox by using a stubby screwdriver and a magnet to remove the screws.

Ya looks like you can get in there without removing cover?

[@4545377]

Hi! Could it be the noise coming while slow accelerating ? Due to this evap valve? Sounds like detonation.

[@backyardchevy328]

Does it do it all the time or just ever so often? What i would do is disconnect the electrical connector to the purge valve to eliminate it being the valve..a evap code will come on though if driven long enough though

Hello Backyard Chevy, is there any link or brand of the parts you’ve installed here on this video? I’m having the same issues since my 03 Civic LX was inoperable during the pandemic lockdown. I just started driving them again 2 weeks ago and my idle was very low it makes the engine shakes and rattle . Thank you, appreciate your videos it’s very helpful. I’m trying to keep this civic for my daughter to learn how to drive .

[@Bop.Boy_Luke]

Try replacing the Map/maf sensors. It may fix some of the idle issues. On my 97, the first week I replaced them and it automatically worked so much better.

[@carlosluna405]

The part being insalled is a knock sensore if not mistaken.

Hello there! I have a 2020 Honda HRV 1.8L petrol engine 2wd with 10k miles (R18 engine) that's been making this weird faint knocking sound only after warm up (a few minutes of drive and then it starts). It only appears to be noticed in Drive or Reverse when giving the car some light throttle (1000-1500 rpm) anything above that and the noise is gone, also when going on highways there's no noise, just when you start to move the car in the low rpm range. The noise can be heard inside the vehicle like a thumping sound with windows up and radio off and also standing close to the engine bay. Also, for some reason it is noisier after oil changes (0w20). No CELs, the engine performs great, sparks are new, oil level is on point, valve clearance recently checked, 95 octane gasoline... I'm thinking this purge valve could be the issue, since I feel it pulsating... but is it normal to happen under the conditions I mentioned? I have a video if the sound it makes only under light throttle, I'm really worried it could be rod knock but that would be really unlucky since the car's engine hasn't been abused... hope someone can help. Thanks! kzbin.infozlOMC2mIy84?feature=share

[@ilhammadyar8230]

Hello chris, did u found the issue ? My honda civic turbo touring have the same issue can u please tell me what was the issue?

[@Chris-uw2yf]

@@ilhammadyar8230 the sound is still there, it isn't the purge valve, and I haven't found the exact reason but since I've checked almost everything and there's no performance loss, no metal shavings in oil or cvt fluid... I guess it's just a resonance inside the engine... some newer cars have it too. (Check some of the HRV, ridgeline, pilot, passport forums...) Also I used a stethoscope and the sound was noisier near the belt area (especially at the left motor mount bolt)... but the motor mount is just fine. So I learned to live with it. Now I have almost 20k miles and had no issue with the HRV. If it were rod knock or something serious the engine would have blown out by now haha. If you would like, you can upload the sound yours is making, maybe it isn't exactly the same as mine.

[@backyardchevy328]

Well the valve operates when the computer tells the valve to purge vapors..but the engine can also tick, if it has play in the valvetrain...best way to be sure would be to disconnect it and see if the noise is still there...does it do the noise even when u first start it cold? If so then it may be an engine tick since the valve isnt on the whole time

WHAT IF YOU HAVE A TICKING SOUND BUT YOU DONT HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WHATS SO EVER WHAT SHOULD BE THE FIRST THING TO REPLACE BEFORE IT WORSENS

[@backyardchevy328]

Well i would check the oil level first..if the oil level is fine..and its a sound inside the engine for sure..i would change the oil..but i would drain the oil into a container so i could check to see if it has any metal pieces in it or a lot of copper color in the oil which would indicate worn internals

[@drankhead68]

What should I change first any valves recommended first or pistons ? Can it be worn spark plugs that’s making the ticking noise..?

[@backyardchevy328]

@@drankhead68 well it depends on the noise...a slow knock can be worn piston rod bearings(which bearing material will show up in oil)...a rapid tap can be worn valvetrain like ur valves or camshaft...worn pistons make the engine sound like a diesel..and yes actually bad spark plug wires can make a trucking noise..my last misfire video on a toyota shows what a bad spark plug wire will sound like..or if the spark plugs are loose and the combustion is escaping through the threads it will make noise too

@@GBKICKS1a loose spark plug the noise would only get worse..so id say it could be valvetrain noise..or even slack in timing chain due to wear or worn out guides/ tensioner...but definitely sounds like something that goes away with increase in oil pressure, which happens as u accelerate, it increases the amount of oil that circulates

Hey. Nice video. I have a civic just as this one. I have two issues that I don't know what's the problems Are. 1 is that it Idles a little rough sometimes when at the stop light or when I let it sit and runs, the throttle body is clean because I keep my engine parts in good condition. not sure if I need to readjust the RPM for the idle lower with a scan tool instead of just checking it with needle in the dash. I noticed the gas burning not right. I used to full my tank and I would drive from work to home and do my regular routines as normal and the needle wouldn't move from full until 4 or 5 days later,now I'm not getting that anymore. Mounts doesn't need replacement either. It would just started to idles rough at the light at times. Air filter are clean, sparks plugs new, I put fuel cleaner in my tank at times to clean my lines and fuel injectors. Please help with anything.

[@sertifikali]

So is your key getting stuck in the ignition cylinder? And the door doesn’t open from inside the car? Try getting the ignition cylinder lubed first. as for the door, pop the handle off and see if the metal rod that connects to the door release is still attached to the door handle. The plastic tab that grabs onto the metal rod often breaks off
