Start with a cold engine. Cover all of the sensitive electronics with the aluminum foil. (MAF sensor, EGR connector, o2 sensor, alternator, ECU, coil packs, etc) Remove any leaves that are stuck in crevices. Use low water pressure, don't use a pressure washer.
Spray I recommend using for the engine bay: amzn.to/3IHmKxY (DILUTE IT JUDGING BY HOW DIRTY YOUR ENGINE BAY IS)

Your video is one of the better ones I've been looking for. You are actually smart and not taking risks and actually covering up some critical stuff just in case. I'm gonna do the same. Then just do the critical stuff and stuff I covered up by hand with a damp rag etc. I need my car to work after I'm done! lol

@Nate-Dawwg 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for making the video I requested! You're Awesome!

@MrRangerZr1 7 лет назад

Thanks! Sorry for the delay!

@jochesv6100 3 года назад

I had done it before with other vehicles and never had a problem. The best ally is to have patience to cover all the electronic components for a good wash. Great video and thanks for sharing....cheers!!!

@wisdom9195 3 года назад

I am terrified to do this to my car but it needs a wash so bad.

@MrRangerZr1 3 года назад

You'll be fine. Just cover up the ECU, alternator, and other sensitive electronics.

Awesome! Thanks for the video. Now I know how to clean the engine bay in the Civic ;)

Anyone know what the part that has the blue cable connected to it called? I’ve notice my car gives off steam/smoke. I want to do some research about it but I have no idea what the whole part is called.

@MrRangerZr1 5 месяцев назад

A/F ratio sensor

Nice vid!! I have an 09 Civic LX so the engine bay is almost identical to yours with a few exceptions. Gonna give this a go tomorrow on my day off from work just in case anything doesn't work after. Cheers man!

@MexterO123 4 года назад

I don't think I'm brave enough to spray water on the engine like that. Almost gave me heart attack when you did that. XD

@MrRangerZr1 4 года назад

Memo Pony you’ll be fine. Just cover the sensitive stuff and you’ll be good.

What kind of vacuum is that? I’m looking for a small one with a blow function

@MrRangerZr1 6 лет назад

It's the armor-all vacuum. It's a great vacuum and blower, best bang for your buck.

@dreamelysiumentertainment7391 6 лет назад

Adrian you can use any small shop vac that has a port to blow the air out, just hook up the hose to that and it becomes a blower.

@515thomas 2 года назад

Just reverse your shop vac…

@barrios5430 2 года назад

This might be a dumb question but where does the air duct connect too at the bottom? I see it curve down.. I'm asking cuz my civic dx didn't come with an air duct and the air box just has a hole in it from where the air duct is supposed to be.

@MrRangerZr1 2 года назад

The intake resonator

@ThatE46Dad 5 лет назад

I recently got an 07 Civic coupe and when I popped the hood, I was shocked at how much salt was in the engine bay, I got the car without any splash guard underneath, no fender liners or anything in the wheel wells. So, thank you for the help!

@MrRangerZr1 5 лет назад

I really recommend getting the splash shields installed. May be a piece of plastic but it protects the engine components.

@lil_mcnair2404 2 года назад

What cleaning solution did you use? I just bought a used civic and the engine bay is bad, there’s oil everywhere and wanna know if what you used would work

What if you have already wash the engine with water without covering and EGR connector, plugs, coil packs, o2 sensor etc. how do you fix the problem if the is not moving as fast as it used to ?

pop the hood and let it dry. hopefully the electronics didn't get too damaged

does a 2012 civic non si have vtech engine too? my friend has a si model and i can feel and hear when the vtech kicks in but i cant feel it on mine i have the 1.8L exl model.

@MrRangerZr1 7 лет назад

Yes almost all hondas have vtec. The Si has the k24 motor while the normal civics have the r18 motor.

@BASGTA 6 лет назад

VTec works differently on the SI vs other models. Vtech has kind of the opposite effect with 1.8L, as it's for fuel economy.

@himynameisbrianw 6 лет назад

@zechsblack5891 6 лет назад

with the r18, vtech is basically reversed from what you expect from other models. the little eco button is part of it. it changes cam profile to improve economy instead of changing to improve power. having driven a k24 on 91-93 octane as advised in the user manual, i honestly miss the eco button after driving an r18 for two years. 39mpg hwy down to 31(at best, usually 25 for normal driving) with the k24.

@badlands5527 7 лет назад

Hey when you get a chance bro check out my channel and look at the video of my Honda Civic making a weird noise at cold Start, maybe you can help me figure it out what it is

@MrRangerZr1 7 лет назад

Check the exhaust heat shields and catalytic converter heat shields. It also looks like the car has a aftermarket exhaust on it. Did you buy it new or used? Does the noise happen when you're driving or only strictly on cold starts?

@badlands5527 7 лет назад

It's not a full exhaust, cheap Chinese cover $16 on eBay, only happens on cold starts but I started noticing it sounds a little bit when I'm taking off at first on first gear, after that I won't hear the noise again until the morning, that noise is driving me crazy bro, nobody I know knows what is it, i'm going to have to leave it at Honda overnight so they can hear the noise in the morning

@MrRangerZr1 7 лет назад

Sounds like something got in the muffler or the muffler internals broken off.

@badlands5527 7 лет назад

MrRangerZr1 I took it to Honda Friday night so they came here Saturday morning they said it is a bad Catalytic converter 😩 $500 just for the part

Straight pipe it or universal cat installed at a muffler shop. Heck try finding a used cat.
