Found your video after a Co-coworker asked me about a repair on her family car. 03 accord V6 went to the shop because it was misfiring and down on power. Shop charged them $1500 for a new EGR, spark plugs and a valve cover gasket. Oh yeah, and an intake cleaning... Thank you for your videos!

Super helpful! My '03 Odyssey was having rough idle/stalling issues and giving me the P1399 code. I pulled the EGR valve, and saw the spring-loaded pin sticking out of the EGR port. 😆 Got a new valve and now it runs great! Funny thing is, I brought it to my local chain auto repair place and they couldn't figure it out. They wanted to bring in a guy with a mobile diagnostic station and charge me $300. I easily saved at least $500 doing it myself.

If the air intake manifold is dirty or has carbon buildup, you only use brake cleaner, rag and vacume to cleanup so that the deposits don't get into the valves? Also is there any issues placing anti-sieze onto the EGR bolt threads? Thanks

@RBTheMechanic 2 жыл бұрын

No issue using anti sieze

@neojoneswd Жыл бұрын

nice and easy. I had been getting a P0506 ODB code-then after ignoring it for awhile, P0404 popped up and my engine idle started bouncing making a ruff idle and some loss in power. Now I know what to do. Clean both intake and EGR sensors/or replace if necessary. THankS-i watched a P0404 video before this one. Now to see if my mechanic will give me a good deal or I do it myself?

Hello. May I get your advice on the cost to replace the EGR Valve on my 2002 Accord VP sedan with 4 cyl. automatic? My dealer quoted me $270 just for the labor. I purchased the part myself, since they didn't have it in stock. That seems a bit high, considering it's about 40% of the cost they quoted me to change my timing belts. However, I'm not a mechanic. Thank you, sir.

I need help with my accord 09 3.5. I changed gaskets, solenoids, throttle body with new hose for air flow. Still i keep getting misfire every 4-6 months period. Engine light keeps flashing and car just hesitates badly. I’ve been to lotta mechanics but same suggestion! Change sparkplugs and it will be good. Which is true but its only temporary. Recently i got a Code for Bank 1 system lean. P0420. My mechanic told me its the Catalytic converter but some other mechanic says change Oxygen sensor first. Any recommendations? Thanks!

@RBTheMechanic 3 жыл бұрын

Yes change ur oxygen sensor first before u change catalytic converter there’s no winning tough call because if u change catalytic u still might p0420 because it can be due to dirty sensor not reading propperly anyways about misfire and flashing check engine I will send u video on Acura TL it’s v6 same set up try this coil trick see if u feel the difference in when u disconnect coils it might be bad coils I’ll send u a link try that first to figure out ur problem

I think it was a day ago when a 03 accord came in and I was doing an oil change and came across the power steering pump was leaking bad and the V-tech solenoid was leaking oil and the axel sealer was lose and leaking . I guess the lady was waiting for her oil change and I was getting to that but am I to ignore all those problems and not look in to it or just do the oil change and rotate the tires and give the car back . I don’t want anything to happen and they come to me saying why didn’t I look more in to it . I guess that the life of the express tech cause man people don’t care at all for there cars cause the filter looks like you shovel dirt and put it in the filters and leaking everywhere and the crazy part they say the arms are not done fast enough

RB. I have an 03 Accord V6. It started jerking at 20mph. My neighbor is okay mechanic. He plugged his OB2 and showed shift solenoid A, B, C, and he replaced them. Also he changed the speed sensors and other sensors. And he changed the transmission fluid/filters two times. I ran good after. Two later the Engine light and TCS came on. And it jerk again. Can you tell me what’s happening with my car?! I bought the car from a local police officer in my town when I came back from Iraq in 2004. The Accord has been good with me since I bought it. I don’t want to get rid of it. It’s my only ride I used to go to VA appointments. Gracias!
