Thanks Scotty, this video really helped out. Oil change did the trick for the engine sputtering but i may still have to change the vvt solenoid to get the check engine light to stay off

Scotty your the Best, a mechanic just tried to charge me $442 for this simple repair job for my daughters truck.... Thank you for what you do!! 🙌

Nice video! From my personal experience with several Honda's I just replaced the gasket on the VTEC solenoid. Costs a few bucks and works perfectly.

I just changed the Variable Valve Solenoid by myself! And now its going well over 3000 RPM. Thank you so much for this very detailed video!!!

Hi Scotty, Thanks for the massive time you spend teaching car repair! I have a question. I saw an app that had the ability to show, in a curve/chart format, VVT function. I have been using Torque pro an it is pretty nice. But I don't see the ability to plot the actual timing as the car is driven. I drive a Mazda 2001 It support OBD2. Do you know the app I refer to?

I bet that old corvette in your outro has the original chev LT 1 for the engine.I can hear the lumpy cam that it came with.

I had the same problem in my old rsx and it was the screen that was dirty in the solenoid. Replaced the screen cleaned it up nicely and she ran great no cel or bog. $12 fix!

I have had like 3 car problems that I learned about and fixed myself on this channel. I mean... wow.

Scotty I got a d16v1 i think it’s the best! I got power and cheaper parts everything’s good! I would love it if you made some more videos on maintenances on these engines And any tips like this would b great ! Big respect scotty

tx you so much for this tutorial!!

Oh yes, the VTEC solenoid assembly. Had to replace that on my 05 CR-V. From my experience usually the only time that those things go bad is either due to lack of oil changes or just simply due to age if the car has a lot of miles on it as well. Very easy to do and not horribly expensive unlike some other things on these older Hondas.

Hey scotty would that problem also affect the knock sensor on a honda accord (specifically 2004 accord 2.4)

Your the best Scotty, thank you 😊

Wow, I actually had to do this exact repair on my 02 CR-V (same engine) last winter. It would chug when it got above 3k RPM. I got a P1259 code. Replaced that VTEC solenoid and it's been fine ever since.

That’s an Element in the video, but it’s still the same K series engine, which your Accord has. I would definitely check your VTEC solenoid gasket; they are prone to leaking.

Great video~ Just wanted to know do you know where that filter would be on a 2012 4.0 Tacoma ?

Scotty, you ROCK!

That's a cool vdo...scotti and thankz for the heads up

I've really learned alot from you. Thank you so much.

Thanks Scotty great tip

Ah....my Element just came up with this one......thanks for the video showing the solution!

Thanks. I have this issue with my wife's Mitsubishi Fuzion in the Philippines. I was told it was the fuel pump, the transmission, and a few other things before I realized that this was the problem.

Cheers thank you for eliminating many hassles of getting the actuator and still had the same problem. 2009 Acura TSX code shown P1009 series. ManYourAmechanic.!!! Toots

Well Scotty......I watch a lot of your vids.....but this vid in particular was very helpful as I have an 03 Honda Element with 188k on it with a leaky VTEC solenoid......it started w the check engine and now wont go over 3k......I remved and tested the switch and it was good......now gunna do the full Monty and replace the whole part like u did.......thanks for the info........Subscribed

I had the same problem with my rsx and changed the solenoid and still runs funny and got the code again

And that's my man Scotty!

very good job dude, didn't know I had one 😁😁

I had to do one of those once. I don't remember the exact engine but it was on my Niece's Accord. One of those three bolts was in a position we couldn't get to. We ended up having to modify the socket into a wrench like doohickey. All of my wrenches were too thick, a socket could get on but there was no room for a ratchet. We cut the socket down shorter and welded it to a wrench we cut.

Great video....wat where the symptoms or codes u got for this issue

13 Years as a technician and master tech for Acura, i never once saw a VTEC solenoid fail, not by me or by one of the other 24 techs that i work with,, in 13 years! .. 10 times out of 10, if it throws a VTEC code it's because the car is very Low On Oil .. Very low.. Which causes interruption of oil pressure to the solenoid and a VTEC code Will set.. , when that happens the car defaults to a "Limp home" mode which makes the computer limit engine rpm to 3000 rpm.(unless you cycle the key, then it will drive normally, unless it occurs again)) Scotty just unplugged it to set the code for this video no doubt

Scotty you are the man

Vtec has been kicking oil all over my engine bay for past two years. I didn't tighten down my vtec solenoid enough after doing my first headgasket ever on my daily driver. Finally troubleshot that P2646 a actuator arm system blah blah blah yesterday and tracked it down to that. It's fixed. No more CEL, no more oily engine bay and constantly checking/filling the oil. Replaced the o2 sensor yesterday as well, that got ruined from driving around with blown headgasket two years ago. Damn those things are expensive. No more cylinder misfires either!

You are the man!

whats up scotty.!? Nice video your my to go to on youtube videos. Soni have a 2004 range rover. No check engine light drives normal passed smog recently.I noticed i have an oil leak on the vvt valve Theres a seal that goes around mine is there a possibilty that i got bad seals and the vvt is good?

Good info

hey Scotty I'm doing this for a friend on her 2005 crv . I'm changing that along with a VTEC filter and vct solenoid. is there anything I should do special to the vct solenoid? does it have to be installed "unsprung". like a timing tensioner or just unbolt and reinstall? thanks in advamce

I love scotty!!!

Mr. Kilmer I just replaced the same part I bought of of eBay for $35. With the old one it was leaking oil, and would only be a problem with a cold engine. Worked fine once warm. P2646 was the code that came on when accelerating with cold engine. So with the cheap new part even with engine warm it now triggers the same code, but besides fixing the leak it is worse then before. Should I take the seal from new part and swap over to the old part?

I have an '01 that does just what he is saying about poor performance - keep in mind.... when the car is cold the solenoid works fine --- you really have to have HOT oil and have to run the car for about 45 minutes at highway speeds - then slow up a bit - and then... really romp on the gas pedal to make it kick down a gear, when it tries to upshift - that is when the 3,000rpm jumps happen (Engine shutting down)... It sort of reminds you of a rev limiter kicking in... Easy fix - like he said - just hard to see. Thanks Scotty - you've helped me in the past with some things... :)

Cool video

6th video in 2 days going to do this on mine...ur 👌

Hey Scotty, any suggestions on a good brand of nitrile gloves..

Good Info

I have a question about the Ford Fusion. What is your opinion on the first and second version of this car is it a good car? is it expensive to do maintenance to that car?

Is it possible that the oil pump could be weak causing low oil pressure only asking because we've done this repair and visually checked the wiring harness for damage cleaned connectors changed oil and we changed the screen under the belt tensioner also do you think you could do a video on how to check a wire with a multimeter for a short to ground and a short to power and what to do about it if you find one

Scotty my Chevy Malibu 2014 Ls shows the exact code, so I went out and bought the VVT, is that the same as OCV, because they look different from each other, Auto Zone recommended OCV. Which is which and were would the Oil Control Valve be located on the Malibu?

Do you recommend a shop in the Spring TX area for this type of repair? I see you're in the Houston area. BTW: I also love Southern Backtones!!

just changed the solenoid twice this week brought aftermarket ine but was faulty so got a genuine one and installed that. had take valve cover of to actually reach behind engine as aussie model has like cold air induction mounted to top of it also plus brake fluid resivour is mounteddirectly above solenoid also. it drove real nice for about 20km them 1st drive today engine light back on same code. ive already changed oil and oil filter but not the gasket behind power steering pump hopefully that is clogged up and is the issue. is there anything else i need to check? Also found it easier when mounting solenoid back on with help of a small mirror i placed down there made it easy to see where bolts needed to go in.

Hey Scotty i always bet my money on you, didn' t loose till now.

hey scotty u know those beauty covers on fords are made of recycled denim and they actually absorb engine noise

Scotty. I have this exact issue in my 05 Honda Element. I replaced my solinoid because the old one leaked even after i changed my gasket. That's when it happened the first time. P2646. So i replaced it again and sure enough it happened again the next day. I'm at a loss. I don't see how you checked the front filter you said was good in the video. And i can't imagine i had two bad units. And i did get an oil change after the part was replaced. Any other thoughts??

Can I replace the gasket or the whole since my is leaking oil? I have 2011 Honda Pilot with front spool valve leaking

Question Scotty what if you get P0011 ? what could it be on 2006-2007 G35 coupe?

Scotty I own a 2002 crv with the 2.4 in it. Can you give me an idea on what’s wrong with it. It surges and is sluggish when I’m stepping on gas. On the highway it seems to have a dead spot when I’m cruising about 60 it won’t take the gas so I have to step on it hard to make it go it actually starts slowing down instead of speeding up. Thx any advice will be helpful.
