    13 Years as a technician and master tech for Acura, i never once saw a VTEC solenoid fail, not by me or by one of the other 24 techs that i work with,, in 13 years! .. 10 times out of 10, if it throws a VTEC code it's because the car is very Low On Oil .. Very low.. Which causes interruption of oil pressure to the solenoid and a VTEC code Will set.. , when that happens the car defaults to a "Limp home" mode which makes the computer limit engine rpm to 3000 rpm.(unless you cycle the key, then it will drive normally, unless it occurs again)) Scotty just unplugged it to set the code for this video no doubt

    Vtec has been kicking oil all over my engine bay for past two years. I didn't tighten down my vtec solenoid enough after doing my first headgasket ever on my daily driver. Finally troubleshot that P2646 a actuator arm system blah blah blah yesterday and tracked it down to that. It's fixed. No more CEL, no more oily engine bay and constantly checking/filling the oil. Replaced the o2 sensor yesterday as well, that got ruined from driving around with blown headgasket two years ago. Damn those things are expensive. No more cylinder misfires either!

    Oh yes, the VTEC solenoid assembly. Had to replace that on my 05 CR-V. From my experience usually the only time that those things go bad is either due to lack of oil changes or just simply due to age if the car has a lot of miles on it as well. Very easy to do and not horribly expensive unlike some other things on these older Hondas.

  • @vincentwebster8313
    @vincentwebster8313 6 лет назад +4

    This is a great starting point. On the "element" you WILL be removing the left motor mount to remove the power steering pump and tensioner pully to clean the little screen behind the cover. the hardest part is the belt reinstall its just time consuming about an hour. The solenoid in the back of the engine is tough. remove the power steering hose and metal support bracket. I tied mine over to the driver side with a bungee strap. after you remove the 2 electrical connections there are 2 plastic wire anchors on the metal heat shield they are difficult to remove. The rest is fairly simple

    • @boomerguy9935
      @boomerguy9935 2 года назад

      You did it the hard way. You do not have to remove anything other than the oil filter for access to the VVY assembly.
      I replaced the filter/O-ring on my Element and my Accord (same K24 engine) by moving the power steering pump hose bracket out of the way and holding it in place with a bungee cord. After undoing the front connections from above, I removed the oil filter (you should change the oil and filter anyway) for better access from below with the car on front ramps. It is also much easier to use the torque wrench from below.

  • @jenntek.101
    @jenntek.101 6 лет назад

    I have an '01 that does just what he is saying about poor performance - keep in mind.... when the car is cold the solenoid works fine --- you really have to have HOT oil and have to run the car for about 45 minutes at highway speeds - then slow up a bit - and then... really romp on the gas pedal to make it kick down a gear, when it tries to upshift - that is when the 3,000rpm jumps happen (Engine shutting down)... It sort of reminds you of a rev limiter kicking in... Easy fix - like he said - just hard to see. Thanks Scotty - you've helped me in the past with some things... :)

    I think we've seen this Element show up at Scotty's garage before. Honda's K24 engine has an excellent reputation for reliability. With him mentioning dirty oil as the possible culprit, it seems like maybe the owner isn't the best about checking/changing the oil on schedule. It's that kind of crap that makes me concerned about buying a car used. Why is it so hard for some people to do basic maintenance?

We ended up having to modify the socket into a wrench like doohickey. All of my wrenches were too thick, a socket could get on but there was no room for a ratchet. We cut the socket down shorter and welded it to a wrench we cut.

    Mr. Kilmer I just replaced the same part I bought of of eBay for $35. With the old one it was leaking oil, and would only be a problem with a cold engine. Worked fine once warm. P2646 was the code that came on when accelerating with cold engine. So with the cheap new part even with engine warm it now triggers the same code, but besides fixing the leak it is worse then before. Should I take the seal from new part and swap over to the old part?

    Scotty my Chevy Malibu 2014 Ls shows the exact code, so I went out and bought the VVT, is that the same as OCV, because they look different from each other, Auto Zone recommended OCV. Which is which and were would the Oil Control Valve be located on the Malibu?

    on an 05' Accord, is it possible to replace the VVT Actuator (properly) without removing the timing chain?

    My 2003 honda accord has a leak from that solenoid but no issues with 3000 RPM and above. Can I just replace the gasket? or I'd better replace the whole part?
    Thank you for sharing.

    Had a ruff running '02 Corolla with VVT, Tech showed me a cracked solenoid, and a chip of it that was not able to be retrieved with a magnet fell into a cylinder, and took 1-2 hrs to retrieve. Total repair bill, $570.00. What would make the solenoid crack ? I think he cracked it trying to remove it. BTW, he used Alldata shop manual.

      +Scotty Kilmer Thank you, SK, that's what I thought. I think I got jobbed. No way it shoud crack by itself just sitting there. He did show it to me tho.

    just changed the solenoid twice this week brought aftermarket ine but was faulty so got a genuine one and installed that. had take valve cover of to actually reach behind engine as aussie model has like cold air induction mounted to top of it also plus brake fluid resivour is mounteddirectly above solenoid also. it drove real nice for about 20km them 1st drive today engine light back on same code. ive already changed oil and oil filter but not the gasket behind power steering pump hopefully that is clogged up and is the issue. is there anything else i need to check? Also found it easier when mounting solenoid back on with help of a small mirror i placed down there made it easy to see where bolts needed to go in.

    When I heard you say it wouldn't go over 3000 rpm my ears perked a bit. I've got a 91 Pontiac Sunbird that hesitates at 3000 rpm, then when you give her a good amount more gas she bucks up to 5k in an instant. Hoping you have some insight as to what that might be.

    Hi Scotty, I just bought a used 2014 CRV with 120k miles which makes a rattling noise on startup. Honda dealership says it's a bad vtc actuator and stretched timing chain. They quoted me $2700 for the repair.The car runs with no problems and no engine codes. What do you think I should do?

    I bought a 2020 Accord with 56 miles on it. The VTC Valve was diagnosed at the dealer as being the culprit for problems. Symptoms included: Jerking or Bucking while driving on the hiway, Engine stalled five times while sitting in a fast food line in drive. How could that part be bad on a brand new car?

    Scotty. I have this exact issue in my 05 Honda Element. I replaced my solinoid because the old one leaked even after i changed my gasket. That's when it happened the first time. P2646. So i replaced it again and sure enough it happened again the next day. I'm at a loss. I don't see how you checked the front filter you said was good in the video. And i can't imagine i had two bad units. And i did get an oil change after the part was replaced. Any other thoughts??

    I use a mirror with a handle to hold to see the bolts to screw them back in, makes the job so easy..... but i sure have experience doing it.. every single time it is time to change the oil after i change it variable solenoid goes bad, The oil is not clogged up just regular oil in color when time to change it... I have had to do this from day one of 4 years after every oil change and this part is not cheap around 104.00 ... And so far I have not figured out why it goes out each time I change the oil it usually goes out within two days of changing the oil... i use Castrol GTX High Mileage 5W-20 Engine Oil ... i know its the right grade, and that brand i would think would be great for it.
