Jay Emm your welcome I'm glad this helped out. Yes that spring is a little bit to tackle lol but will get it eventually net tools I've used and they do make a special tool for clamps and springs but I've used 2 needle nose pliers and a small flat head screw driver and i would wear some good gloves but it will go back together. Thanks for watching stay tuned for more I'm glad it helped out 🛠

CD'S repairs and automotive i test drove it after the fix, but im having idle issue when i come to a stop the idle becomes lower than its usual rpm at a stop. any suggestions? i'd appreciate it. thanks 🤔

Jay Emm okay what year is it and does it have the 3.0 vtec

@@cali4nia420 that's odd did u mess with the air filter or anything like that the reason I say that you could have put the air filter in backwards or your throttle body is dirty and it needs to be cleaned

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching

Hey no problem at all

Honestly really don't need the little spring that comes with the kit because I didn't install it on mine and I never had a problem with it coming off or anything like the hose itself is tight enough.

No problem glad to help out

Yeah ive tryed that and that spring has a very strong tension on it . and it will pop you in the face because I've had it happen so from now on I just don't mess with that spring . Cause it doesn't hurt without it an they could have put a clamp on there like every other hoes but honda decided not to do it I guess .

Yes you can try that its tricky to get off and back on but can be done

There is no Mass Airflow sensor there is only a map sensor for these

No I've done tune ups on these without removing the Air intake hose and upper intake manifold to get to the back 3 plugs but that's me

During installation of the garter spring you may find that the intake hose is not flushed with the air box, and because the spring is so tight it will not budge any further. To remedy this problem temporarily move the spring to the 2nd rib of the intake hose, this should ease the fitting. I also applied a very thin coat of silicone lube on the outer lip of the air box - silicone is safe on rubber.

Yes mine only had the map sensor no mass air flow sensor on the 3.0s or the 4cyl as far as I know an I've worked on several Honda's

@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 Thanks CD. hard to find something that doesnt exist lol.. head ache gone

Yeah that spring can be a pain . But No it won't hurt it as long as it's tight fit and stung it shouldn't have a problem at all cuz these don't have massive air flow sensor so you shouldn't have a problem with any codes or anything like that I've done that before .🛠

No not necessarily not for this cause there's no sensor or anything. So vehicle will never know a difference if it's the 3.0 like this one

Well I have installed the new hoses on these vehicles and others like this without that metal spring and had no issues at all without it because that's a tight snug fit so once it's all tight and togeather it will be just fine and isn't shouldn't go anywhere . 🛠

CD'S Automotive & Repair Oh I’m not talking about the spring I’m talking about that metal pipe from the intake that you said you should let cool down if you drove the car. That was hard to remove and put back in. It was hard to remove at first because it was dry rotted/melted.

@@sandypatton7118 yeah if I'm changing it I would just cut that part off the rubber part off around that metal pipe so I can slid it out or off and then putting the new one in I would recommend putting some silicones spray you're some kind of like WD-40 with your finger rub it around the inside of that hose were that pipe goes inside of or rub it around the pipe and then shove it inside the house and it should go run in without a problem that'll give it some type of lubricant and it would dry up and not even hurt the hose or anything else without a problem

@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 we had a mechanic break the hose and used black duck tape to conceal and not repair the problem he caused. That metal that connects the hose at the top is open half an inch and caused my son's check engine light to come on. Do I need a new metal piece and a new hose installed? Another mechanic quoted me $259....

@@amynguyen5922 yes of it caused the check engine light and it's that bad as u say than yes I would replace it and are u talking about the top part of the hose where the pipe slides into is broke off or split . And that's ridiculous $259 it's only a 30 dollar hose and takes like 30 mine to hour or so to replace it and everything ha that's way high I would charge about $60 to replace it and get it going again . Now if that metal pipe is broke or bent or something like that now that's a different story but . ?

Yes there's a hose and you'll see it that goes to the air box and then down to bottom of behind bumper to suck fresh air in . Beside the radiator fans

@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 ahh ok. I'll look for it down there, wanted to make sure it was clean, as I am taking out the short ram air intake and reinstalling factory box. Thank you very much.

Having one or two of those screws missing for the air filter boxes isn't going to harm anything I have seen and I mean very very badly ones that have been taped together and still ran fine or completely plugged up filters an the vehicle's ran fine and you never noticed it unless you pulled air filter box and check the filter and notice how bad they are because a lot of people don't change them out as well as the cabin air filter inside the cars

@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 Took me like 25 minutes to set up my table, get the tools ready, pop out that hose, double check the air filter was seated correctly, and reinstall with the 1 screw I have. I was able to extract the left over pieces of 2 of the other screws that previous mechanics weren't so gentle with....Took it for a drive going 65+ for liek 20 minutes and the hose + air filter housing seemed solid with just the 1 screw. I'm going to have the dealer do the Transmission fluid flush & i'll ask if they can hook it up with 2 or 3 more screws for the air filter housing to get it fastened down 100%. The idea of not securing it with x4 screws or tape/zip ties for the filter is not good since the air / fuel / oil ratios is so important to combustion style engines. The V6 has 244 or 266 HP and dips quick if you maintain it right so if its $10 to put the official screws in to securely fasten the filter in, count me in.

If it was me I would go to junkyard and find a replacement Air Box for it cause I did to mine and others I've worked on but it's hard to find in good shape . Also I Wouldn't ever flush a transmission especially on a honda , no-one knows this but they actually have a filter to change it's on top of the transmission and goes in on its side on top . I would definitely change that and just change the fluid and call it good I bet no-one has ever changed that filter either

@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 Dealership suggested transmission fluid service. I can't remember if it was a flush or change, but I haven't done one in a while. I don't live by a high volume junkyard anymore. If I did, i'd go and extract the screws there for sure and get it good.

Yeah the spring isn't fun

What do u mean

Map sensor is located on top of the throttle body on the 3.0v6. But however These do not have a Mass Air flow Sensors

I never did because of how hard it was to mess with but doesn't affect anything not having it on the hose .

Mmm no the evap is part of the emissions stuff an not an shouldn't be anything to do with that

@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 but it also does idle rough

That I'm not a 100% sure on

These do not have those on the 3.0v6

Actually not that long but I replaced it as soon as I found out it was bad

There is no mass air flow sensor for these vehicles there is a map sensor

@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 ok ,thank you

Did you forget anything , or bumpped something . Check the code an see what it is

This doesn't have a mass air flow sensor on these . They have a air temp or something like that it's called

@@KnuckleHeadGarage27 oh ok because i had low rpms then i cleaned my throttle now i have high rpms like in the 1ks and i checked all connections but no luck haha

@@SergioLopez-me2hv ahh okay i see yeah now if you cleaned the throttle body or the throttle plate then an the idle is higher now then it must been really built up with carbon stuff . Now May take time for the computer to recognize all that that you done to it an recorrect the idle however with it idling like that it sounds fine to me it's not to high or too low mine idled at about 1,000 rpm in park .

There's something else wrong then. Cause the intake hose shouldn't bother how it runs

Eli wagner yes this car is one of my vehicles in this video but not the newst vehicle that is coming up soon that y'all will get to see

My apologies. Guess the diagrams I'd seen were wrong, and you were/are correct, in regards to the air filter placement. I replaced my air intake tube and the filter, yesterday, and the air filter actually had "UP" stamped on it, in the direction you had said. So, I stand corrected. Thanks for the video, by the way. Really helped out.

Glad it's fixed an going again . No problem glad to help!

No different it doesn't affect anything to the car on these. Only sucks in hot dirty air if it's broke

Mmm possibly but I doubt it . Probably have a dirty throttle body

Depending on how bad hose on the vehicle but wasn't much of a difference but no sucking or leaking vacuum noise anymore.

There isn't one on this vehicle . They didn't come out with one 🛠 as far as I know of from 03 to 07 didn't have one .

No it didn't throw any codes for the leak in the hose but basically be sucking rawl air that isn't filtered

Yeah very common issues on the Honda's woth 3.0 tech even the the 4 cylinders

i've had my honda 05' ex-l 6 years now, and i've changed same air intake hose twice now. 🚗🛠💵

@@cali4nia420 yeah alot is because of hot cold and hot cold changes when driving it it wears out the rub and makes it hard or brittle and then the torque from engine tears it or cracks it over time and cuts it in half or puts a hole in it . Like for vehicles that have a massive air flow sensor I throw a code for that sensor and all it may be is just the hose or small vacuum leak fixed that alot I've even had Vehicles show up with tape around the hoses and wanting something like fixed or wondering why they're having engine problems or an engine light on lol 🛠
