I bought a 2013 Odyssey with about 120,000 mi on it. Did the timing belt and we drove it for a few months check? Engine light came on. The van was shuttering did a tune-up replace the spark plugs. 6 months later. Same thing spark plugs. 6 months later it did it again. Took it to the Honda place. They said it needed a ring job $4,000. I said no way. I took it to a guy who replaced the coil pack and we drove it for a year. It has done it twice again since then. I had no idea that these six-cylinder engines even did the fuel maintenance crap. Now a mechanic friend of mine has ordered a $150 muzzler and is going to put it on our van and hopefully we're not going to have any more issues. Some things just need to be left alone. If you have a V6 engine let the engine run. I don't want half my engine shutting off multiple times going down the road. I don't want cylinders being shut down. I don't want my car to shut off every time I stop at a stoplight. Some technology is good some is not
Just installed a version with DIP switches on a 2016 Odyssey - works great, and thanks to this simple tutorial, it took me all of 1 minute to locate and install it on the correct sensor. Thanks for saving my engine down the road!
Mine has worked great for the last 7 months but now since it's gotten cooler I keep getting a 128 code saying engine is not reaching correct operating temperature....! Anybody know how to stop this emissions light from coming on ???
You Are Completely Incorrect In Stating That ABS Is More Flexible Than PVC...It's The Exact Opposite...PVC Is Definitely MORE Flexible Than ABS. PVC Also Muffles The Sound Of Running Water Better Than ABS. If You Doubt Me...You Can Easily Verify Those Two Qualities Of PVC Pipe With A Quick Search On The Internet. I Suppose ABS Would Be Okay To Use Underground...But In ANY TYPE Of Indoor Plumbing, Including The Basement...PVC Is Most Definitely The Better Material To Use. I Would Not Use ABS Anywhere In My House...Even If The Materials And Installation Was Offered To Me For Free.
I like the muzzler 2 better than the tuner because I am weary of anything connecting directly to the battery. I had it for over 3 years with no issues. Less moving parts make it more reliable, It's also much cheaper.
I have a 12 Honda Pilot. Just bought the VCMuzzler from verbatim. I’ve seen a lot of different ones. Can you use only one plug in or do you have to change depending on weather?
This video help out alot from start to finish waiting my starter now, some video don't start from the beginning but yours help and gave my a good idea on my 08 Gxp...Thanks Alot
I have a house built in 1870 here in Connecticut and am in the process of replacing a cast iron 4” drain line and adding a 4” clean out along with a 2” to 4” joint. As a veteran I used my military discount at either Lowes or Home Depot. My problem with Home Depot beside them being a draft dodger tRUMP supporter they don’t give the military discount on some plumbing items. I also found the 4”x 10’ schedule 40 PVC was $20.00 dollars cheaper at Lowes and they give the military discount on all plumbing supplies plus they hire proudly hire veterans. Shop Lowes my fellow veterans Thank you Lowes !!!
Thanks for getting politics into plumbing. I retired from the U.S. Army last year, I would not recommend anyone join unless you are communist or communist adjacent.
I have a P3497 code on our Odyessey and if I do this VCM muzzler will this bypass the VVT system where they Check engine light will go away without having to fix the VVT Solenoid?
I did bypass VCM but then the engine was not as smooth on 6 cyl mode as before. so I undid everything, remove negative ground where it connects to body next to the battery, grinded paint on the contact point, also added extra connector at that 10 mm and ran a thick wire to biggest bolt of transmission. Van runs so much smoother on 6 cyl then ever did. Also VCM is barely noticeable. LOGIC: may be with proper ground>may be spark plugs and other sensors might be able to ground and work more consistently. it runs so much better now.
Thanks a lot for posting this video! My 2006 SS Impala had the same problem and your video saved me a lot of time as it was the starter that was bad in mine too 👍🏼👍🏼
With it tricking the system, does it still accurately read engine temp? As in the temperature reading on the cluster being accurate to what the actual engine temp is?
