what kind of shocks and struts are those?

Getting this code, again, after replacing the screens with Honda OEM ones on my 2004 CR-V. While I had the VTEC off I checked all the voltages and resistance measurements per the info someone posted online on the VTEC solenoid from a repair manual. Even pressure tested the oil pressure switch with my compressor, all the measurements were what they were supposed to be per the manual. No oil leaking out from around the pressure switch either. Guess the only thing left to is try the oil change. Anyone reading this, do yourself a favor and buy yourself a cheap 14mm wrench and bend it into a crescent moon shape. It’s the only way I could get the belt tensioner loose to get to the screen on the front of the engine. I have a Gearwrench serpentine belt tool kit and it will not fit in there to do it.

I just wanted to add my experience with p2647 on my element. I've changed the whole vtec solenoid and the code went away for about 10 months. When the CEL came back, I figured it might've been water intrusion since I used my washer fluid for winter. Went ahead changed the connector (old one had some corrosion on top and in between the leads inside) to the oil pressure switch with one off amazon (dialectic grease, sealed off the top with liquid tape), silicone the washer lines and connections - p2647 would still come up even immediately after clearing code. Finally, I read somewhere that the oil pressure switch could've shorted from the water intrusion even though the whole spool valve was 10 months old. Tested it with volt meter and wasn't getting continuity. Ordered another oil pressure switch, ensure continuity, laid some more dialectic grease and cleared code. Lo and behind it stayed off this time. Time will tell if this finally worked or not as I just did this. I'll probably also add a cover over between the cowl as well to ensure absolutely no water hits the top of that spool valve again. For reference, I only replaced with oem parts except the connector was off Amazon. Hope this helps someone else with the P2647 that comes up immediately even after clearing the code.

I had a new VTEC solenoid. changed the screen by the tensioner, replaced a faulty VTC solenoid and did this oil change. It still had the problem, so I figured that the pressure in my older car 187K could not satisfy the sensor. I hacked the system with a relay, energized by the solenoid and sent the pressure sensor signal back to the computer. The car works fine now.

Where did you purchase the vent solenoid, or do you have a part number?

Do you have a link for that wrench of a set of wrenches? I am wondering how long it is as I am about to purchase a set. Much thanks!

I have a 05 that had the airbag recall the dealer left that vent elbow on the floor !! that and I got another notice they did not fix the airbags that time and then found the radio speakers were not working I guess they messed with that too I never play it but a while later I tried it now have to find out how to get to it ! should just go back to the dealer and get the bags done right too wish mine was a manual trans !!

I do not understand why non-OEM spool valves are so flawed. It's not a complicated assembly to copy. And the price of a Honda assembly is offensive. We deserve affordable non-OEM parts that work!

My '05 Element has had the VTEC solenoid (Honda OEM) replaced three times. The small filter on the passenger side of the engine has been replaced twice with Honda filters. Recently, the VTC oil control valve was replaced along with the oil pressure sending unit. The oil is changed every 3,000 miles with Honda filters . Should I change the oil again with the added transmission fluid? Im thinking do the cowl seal, seal around the windshield washer, place a license plate over the solenoid, and rplace both connectors on the VTEC solenoid. How do I get these connectors from you?

Where can I purchase those two plugs for oil pressure and solenoid please ?

Bro thank you. Excellent video and great information for my 2008 ex-p with over 200,800 on the dash!

I had this exact problem and it was definitely the VTech solenoid once I replaced it it worked great no problems.

You're off base about the trans fluid. The red is just a dye. Not a detergent. Also. 0-20 5-20 oil is just fine. Do your research on oil. Some 5-30 oils are close to a 5-20 oil. I've got a 05 element I drove off the lot new. It's got 200k and it's never had a valve cover off. Doesn't burn a drop of oil. Nor leak. It's had nothing but mobil 1 5-20 or Amsoil 5-20. It's whole life. Change at 5 k miles. Use Wix or mobile 1 oil filters. Never a problem.

Simply can't like this video enough.....you are out here earning your wings with this one; much appreciated 👏.

This was super helpful! Thx!!

Replacing the spool valve is what fixed it for me.

Where can i purchase that Japanese Emblem on the front grill?

Absolutely worked for me. I was at my wits end until I put 5W20 and a half quart of ATF. So far, it's running great and no codes. Thank you very much for this video.

How does this change with an 07 or later element?

Thanks for this video!!!

Is this oil pressure switch part of the VTEC solenoid? I have the P2646 code issue on my 2007 Element and it's driving me crazy! I live in Alpharetta, Ga. Thanks in advance...

do you have a part # for that first part you removed? you referred to it as the discharge port for the charcoal canister, but i can't locate it by that name.

This is great stuff to know 👍

Great video 😊 I don't hear a sound like yours, but I do hear a wind sound when riding, like if a window is open, they haven't been able to figure out yet!

How long take to dry out from water

Thanks for the video. By any chance do you have a video on replacing mode actuator(passenger side) on the 04 Element? Defroster not working everything else works. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving

Can you spray wd40 on the switch after wet

Seamless. Flawless. Saved my dash and my fingers thank you man

My toaster has so many bangs and knocks that I don’t know if my rack has a rattle but I’ll surely check it now! Another great video DF!!

I can’t believe a Honda engine has these issues.

Crap, I just ordered an aftermarket solenoid.☹️

WHERES MINE!!!???? Tyronne is getting tired.

Thanks for the video I probably would have painted the bracket with Rust Oleum but that’s me being anal😅

Did not see how the Hondabond HT October applied on the connectors. Also, the stem for the plate cover is too short. Any other ideas?

My 04 CRV has 221K miles, and after a P2646 code, had a shop replace the spool valve about 1.5 years ago, and they put in 5W20 Synthetic. They did not use OEM parts. The 2646 code just returned, so I was going to drain & switch to the regular 5W30 & ATF you recommended. (before I switch out with OEM spool valve) Is the half-quart of ATF doing something different than the High-Mileage oil? For high mileage Honda's with K24 engines, should we FIRST clean it with 5W30 & ATF for 3K miles, and THEN, go to High Mileage 5/30? Thanks

Great tent. Thanks for posting. I assembled my Rev tent the other day, but it's a bit of a pain made more difficult by the fact that the instructions are not included and only available online which means repeatedly going back to the computer or phone, waking it up and bringing the webpage back up. The online instructions are vague, at best. No photos, just a few drawings. If you're an expert camper, it should be easy. Otherwise, be patient. I like the four window/doors and it seems to be a well designed tent. Company says you need 48" of width, but it does just squeeze into the bed of my 2023 Chevy Colorado.

Im located in Columbia SC and would take the hike to get this problem solved. I get that hiccup on fast acceleration, had non of this before last weeks rain. Some yellow Triangle with a VSA. I can run with a slow start but of corse one the VSA comes up my cruise control goes out. How and where are you? How can I contact you.

Wondering if you have a web page i think I’m dealing with water in element and would like to get some parts possibly from you ???

Awesome! Thank you.

Awesome video.. I’d like to also add, if the k series motor is pinging under load, it can also contribute to the horrible P2646, so ensure timing chain and tensioner is all sweet, keep up with valve lash adjustments as well.

Yeah can’t really see WTF you’re doing bob.. but cool shirt

How is your experience with the Bilsteins vs the original OEM or KYBs?

Will these swift springs with the stock rear struts maintain a normal ride height? I'm guessing the benefit is that they won't compress as much when loading up the rear of the vehicle? Also, would you recommend pairing OEM rear struts + swift springs with Bilstein B6 front struts + OEM springs? Would there be any need for strut tower spacers with this combo?

Awesome video!! Gonna try to do this today!!!

Are the water intrusion diverter plates available? Great video 👍🏻

Ha you just posted this...and last night I noticed my rear light kept come on overbumps. Thanks!

I saw the thumbnail and thought, "Big Show is working on cars now?"

THIS GUY IS A LIFESAVER. He saved my Element with its constant P2646 errors. I did everything, including cleaning all the screens and replacing all the VTEC/VTC hardware with OEM equipment. Still no luck. This guy personally messaged me on FB and recommended I try an ATF fluid engine flush and then use heavier 5w-30 oil. It worked. Thank You, Sir. I would've personally messaged you back, but I couldn't find the message thread. Everyone should try this trick if they can't get the p2646 CEL to go away.
