I cleaned oil for 2 hrs everywhere around the passenger side top to bottom until I found fresh oil around the oil pressure switch 😅. Thanks for letting us know not to over tighten! I was about to just tighten the old one to see if it stopped it but now I know.

Does a bad one cause performance issues?

I just changed the one on granddaughter's '03, but from the oil on the pulleys, alternator, and around PS pump, I'm going to change the VTC Filter Assembly on the front. The downside is you have to remove the PS pump, the tensioner pulley and mount just to get to the cover and gasket. Well, nothing ventured,...! Tired of having oil spots on the driveway, and her constantly checking and topping off her oil. Wish me luck! Update: Well, I did it. It was generally straight forward, but a few things were annoying. 1. In a CR-V, there is nowhere to put the PS reservoir so that it's out of the way. And in the way it was, all day. 2. Who is the genius who decided to use a nut on the back of the tensioner pulley? All the other bolts have threaded holes in the mount. After three times of trying to secure that nut long enough to thread the bolt in, I finally had to stick a fingertip against the nut while trying to put the pulley on and then start the bolt with the other hand. And speaking of bolts, 3. I sure could have used another joint on my arms, about 3 inches up my forearm, to help get my hands into those tight spots. 4. Next time, I'll buy a power ratchet before I try this again. Overall, it was a good thing I changed the Filter Assembly. That little rectangular gasket was flattened and literally shredded. I'm convinced that's from where all my oil was leaking.

It is tight in and around the power steering area. Just changing the serpentine belt is a headache. Hope you got it fixed!

If that oil switch gets faulty or leaks, will it trigger hard starting? Thanks.

Thanks for the helpful video. I need to replace the sensor on my 02 CRV. I tried removing the wire but it didn't want to come off. I didn't want to pull too hard. Should it pull off with a little bit of force, or do I need to do something else? I am guessing the wire just snaps back on to the new switch. Thanks! - Rick

Does it triggered the oil light in the dashboard? I have a leak too, already replaced the vtec solenoid just few months ago. I got a leak and an oil light in the dashboard.

@ThatDIYguy403 Жыл бұрын

I did not have an oil light on my dash. A faulty oil pressure switch could cause the light to come on or also low oil level.

Helpful! Did you buy a aftermarket part or Honda OEM?

Did you have to remove the vtec solenoid to get to the switch itself?

My 2003 started running erratic. I took to the mechanic shop. He told me that it was low on oil and causing a protection sensor preventing me from injuring the engine by trying stop the engine. What's your thoughts? Do you know of this sensor and its location? My vehicle won't run now.

@ThatDIYguy403 Жыл бұрын

I have never heard of the sensor you are speaking of. Is the engine light on? If its not I would use a scanner anyways and see if any codes pop up.

If it doesn’t let you go past a certain amount of rpm and enters (limp mode) it sounds like you have to clean the filter inside your vtec solenoid and do a fresh oil change should fix your issue!

@LarryLeaders Жыл бұрын

Its prob the vtec switch on back of head, next to headers, right above the sending unit. screen inside fails. Id replace both

Did this fix the oil leak?

@ThatDIYguy403 Жыл бұрын

Yes it did. I would also check the front engine oil seal. Behind the harmonic balancer. I am going to do a video on it as I am getting another oil leak on my car. I just changed one on a friends car - same year as mine. I reccomend a 5' snipe with a 3/4 breaker bar. The pulley bolt is on super tight. I broke my favorite 1/2" breaker bar and an extension trying to remove it.

@@ThatDIYguy403 I'm still chasing an oil leak on that area. I replaced the balancer seal, vtec gasket and the oil presure sensor - FYI - the easiest way to remove the balancer bolt is with an impact and a heavy 19mm harmonic balancer socket, it's worth the money, the bolt comes out in seconds!
