Honda Element P2647 Code Fix! 

I John Brown have to thank you bro, I just finished changing the screen on the Rocker arm controller and all my problems went away, all the codes ext. You were a great part of this resolve total repair $9.89

I use my element to deliver mail, and this video has saved my sanity. Thank you so so so much!!!@

My fathers Accord CM1 from 2003. Same Problem. Fixed Same as you... it works . Thanks

Thank you this is exactly what's happening to mine

Thanks! The onliest thing I didn’t like was you showing and referring to your bolt hole.

Great video!

I’m in my second VTEC oil solenoid in 4 months. Both done by mechanics. I’m going to check the code at auto zone and try these parts myself. 2004 element.

This code just appeared on my 07 Accord. I haven't had any acceleration issues, but rather my idle has been a bit rougher than usual, and it did act like it was misfiring and bucking when coming to a stop once, with a flashing check engine light. Going to change the spark plugs, then try this as well. I just ordered the entire vtec solenoid assembly. Hopefully it fixes the issue!

Super helpful.

I had this same code. Ended up being that the plug connectors between the harness and the oil pressure switch were corroded. I sprayed CRC 5103 Quick Dry Electronic Cleaner on both the connector (female) and oil pressure switch (male) connectors and then gently but firmly inserted/removed the connection to scrape off the corrosion. I did this 3-4 times, then wiped any residue, sprayed and went again. It didn't take that much time. I tried using a few tools to clean the male/female connections but inserting/removing the connectors ended up being the easiest. At some point in the past, the harness connector's locking tab was broken off, so I think this was allowing water/moisture to get into the connection.

Have you replaced your motor mounts since then? I've had this problem for a while combined with bad motor mounts and just recently discovered that one of the bad motor mounts has broken my transmission case, I think as a result of the bucking

Do you know if this same pet would work on a Acura rsx motor I want to say it would since I believe it’s the same motor

At the end of the video you talked about fixing the seatbelt/airbag light. How did you do that?

This helped! I'm gonna try to fix it and see if that's the solution. It all started with an oil change... I'm wondering if the dude that did my oil change messed up with something. My oil filter might just be dirty? Idk... I'm just learning...

I would suggest cleaning out the whole solenoid once out the car with some carb cleaner. Replaced mine completely with a Honda official part including the switch about 5 months ago and today engine light is back with same error.... grrrr

You forgot to change the o ring for the sensor. Any update on this? Did the problem reappear?

I had this code just pop up. Thank you for the video. How long did it take to do this yourself. I’m pretty handy and savvy but want a realistic time frame. It’s dead winter here in Boston.

Newbie question: Why replace just the gasket and sensor? Wouldn't it have cost about the same to just replace the whole assembly since it would come with both included? I have the same code on my 2003 and was going to do the same repair.

I'm having the same issue with my honda element sc 08..I have replaced this. altogether. have done a new oil change continue with it. i wonder what else could it be

I have same problem, but i replaced the whole solenoid and its still throwing the same code. I delete it and it comes right back on. Connections are tight and oil is fresh and i cleaned the oil screen on front of block, what do i do?

Man i need some help. My VTEC solenoid was leaking oil bad, finally got around to replacing it. Took it out for a ride and now I'm having the same bumping issue at 3000 rpms, any ideas what it could be? Brand new solenoid/valve assembly. I've looked around everywhere trying to find info, but all I get is "replace the valve". Over the last month I've spent probably 50 hours replacing parts all over my car, mostly suspension, was so ready to have all the new parts put on and now I'm stuck with this

Man... I replaced the whole VTEC solenoid, VTCC, new screens on the front, oil pressure switch... And new connector... Still having the same issue.

I had my vtec solenoid replaced like 5 years ago and now the code came back and it's hesitating again wtf

I that that but it stuck in the same thing

Thats called a rocker arm oil pressure switch.

Gonna try this myself on a 04 v6 accord 6-speed. It’s so boring to drive it under 3k!

Not a cam sensor.

I replaced mine with a new one and cleared the code and it still comes up

I've changed the solenoid and an oil pressure sensor and it's still happening could it be possible Valvoline put the wrong oil in

My top bolt is rounded off idk what to do to get it to come off maybe heat

Changed oil cleaned all screens out changed oil actuator and oil pressure switch hell the whole vaulve still bucks but I used an ebay part

Spool valve

Sounded like a manual transmission?? If so, I'm jealous!!!

Any one every had this issue and it sounds like it’s boosted also?

What is tht

You breathe too much
