Honda Odyssey: No Power At All
Рет қаралды 516,683
3 жыл бұрынIn 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!

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.

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.

During a training on catalytic converters about 15 years ago the instructor stated that over 90% of the time converters fail due to an engine issue. Basically converters are murdered by engine issues. Good call on the diagnosis. Also I never used a fancy scope to test back pressure. I would unscrew an O2 sensor and put a pressure gage in its place and test that way. I even learned new technology.👍👍

Way back in the 80's when I was a Honda motorcycle tech a Honda Odyssey was a small yellow dune buggy type machine . Some of the engines on the first run off those units had a defect that was never disclosed to us at the dealership . New engines were shipped to our shop to replace the engines that had the issue . With the regional Honda Service Rep standing there as a witness I was instructed to smash the engine cases and bend the crank shafts of the engines I had removed with a sledge hammer before they went for scrap . I didn't much like smashing those engines that were new and had never ran . All these years later I still think of that day when I hear someone say " Honda Odyssey ."

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.
@lofturhjalmarsson9896 2 жыл бұрын
What is a VCM on a Hyundai? It consists of a DC motor which actuates the VCM valve and a position sensor which detects the position of the VCM valve. The VCM system tumbles air flow entering into combustion chamber of each cylinder by closing the VCM valve in the cold start conditions.

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.

Imagine that going off inside a oil change shop. Dips were fiddling around with a Honda's battery terminals, when the ECM decided it had enough and set off the horn. I was in front of the ride and got an earful of Japan's finest.

Tires probably haven't been changed because they are Michelin PAX run flats. Long ago discontinued, I believe the rims have to be changed out to be able to use conventional tires. Have a 2008 Odyssey, thank fully did not buy the run flats.

My assumption looking at the overall condition of the van and that knocking out all the crap likely made it run a lot better, the customer will decide on the put it back together as is, charge the labor and write down what you found on the invoice route.

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.)

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?

Very interesting on this one, I've heard about this type of issue and recall my old Buick had a blocker converter. From that I learned about oil burning in the system, yepper, one year later Plugged again. Learned lots more, they put a after market part in the car it lasted 20,000 miles!! replaced it again and said GOOD BY to that car. lol, thank for sharing this interesting issue. Great job Eric O.
