  • In this video I have a look at a customers 2007 Honda Odyssey that was towed in with a complaint of no power. By no power, I mean NONE! This thing will not even come off an idle. We need to gather a little data and go with our gut and past experience on this one for the win. -Enjoy!

      Used converters that are truly used don't have near the level of precious metals in them as they do when new. Hence why thieves don't bother with old cars even if they are easy to get to. Who ever is buying them will reject them. The catalyst wash that contains the precious metals eventually gets eroded off the honeycomb which is why they will fail even if the honeycomb doesn't over time.

I enjoy this video because the person speaking shares with the audience the customer complaint and shares the thought process and the possible diagnosis and diagnostic tools and tests to prove or disprove the cause or causes and shares its fairly obvious that another shop had tried and failed to repair and did a lousy job leaving the spark plug loose. Not only does this shop have to fix the actual problem, the shop agent has to find and fix the lousy work done by other shops in prior attempts. Outstanding job!

    Years ago I did a full exhaust change from the Y-pipe back on my 2000 Buick LeSabre with the N/A 3.8. Due to the gravel driveway being an issue for the stands, I ended up having to drive it up on some ramps after I had pulled the pipes. Naturally at 8pm I did it quietly, making sure to rev it only half a dozen times to enjoy that sweet splendor of an engine. I'm sure the neighbors enjoyed it as well. I like to share such wonders.

    Nothing like getting another dose of SMA. Get me through the rest of my day. I’ve seen some plugged exhaust. This ones as bad as it gets. Normally ya see big chunks of honey cones falling out in pieces. That one looked like it was caked with ash. Something tells me this guys gonna either tell Eric he’s gonna run with it without the ash or swap the old one with a new one. I’d prefer the later. The compression test did a good job of finding the back pressure in the cylinders on the exhaust stroke. Nice work Eric. I hope this guy allows you to fix it properly with a new one.

    I’ve not seen this happen before so once again I appreciate SMA videos. Always good to think ahead and start with the easier stuff before overcomplicating it all. Hell just seeing him get those rusty ass nuts off (the cat bolts not the bubba talk) with some heat educated me a bit. I just did sway bar links on the wife’s CRV and it was horrible getting the 2 nuts off each side. I did hit them with a propane torch but it’s a bitch to keep the studs still and whack a box end wrench at the same time. Why can’t auto makers use stainless or neverseize on all the fasteners?

  • @timlabeaux8123
    @timlabeaux8123 2 года назад +3

    i've had several of the 3.5 engines dislodge the filament in the upstream converters resulting in the exact same accumulations in front of the rear cat...what happens is a piece or chunk breaks loose in an upstream cat and blows and jostles around in the housing slowly disintegrating and then collecting in front of the downstream cat causing a blockage, the initial piece that came dislodged can also be beat around enough to become round at which time it can get stuck in the pipe and act as a plug so its important to make sure the entire pipe is clear especially around the bends.

      Yep, my guess is that it has over 200,000 miles and the valves have never been adjusted. Honda V6's need valve adjustments every 100,000 miles or so. The exhaust valves are probably burned as a result. The owner's maintenance philosophy seems to be "drive it till it quits, then fix it." Look at the obviously misaligned front end that destroyed the tires (thread showing.)

    Vcm loves to kill that rear cat, done a lot of reading on Honda's cylinder deactivation. When cruising oil gets forced up through the oil rings from the pressure having no place to go which pools up then when it's reactivated it burns that oil and slowly starts to kill the primary cat by coating it in burned up oil. Happened to mine that's why I looked this up someone even made a vcm muzzler.
