Right away I found a big huge problem with this video. Always throw my old underwear away. In a situation like this I would always use my wife's old underwear.

Thanks for the great video. I did this today on my 2.4L 2009 Honda Accord EX-L. Instead of just cleaning the filter screen, I replaced the screen itself and cleaned its housing. I wasn't able to remove the VVT Valve/Solenoid, as I imagine it hasn't been touched in almost 12 years and is stuck in there pretty good. Either way, after the screen cleaning, the noise from the actuator upon cold start up is now gone. In case others want to follow this video and run into the same issue as me, try a new filter screen replacement and see where it takes you. Thanks again, speedkar99!

Out. Standing video. This is hands down the best of these type of video I have ever seen. Thank you.

Thanks for the video. Did the job today and it’s was easy. Only thing that I got snagged on was I broke the screw holding down the ground wire trying to remove it from the engine mount. Going to replace the ground wire with another of the same gauge but longer and going to attach the other end to the engine where the power steering pump line is bolted near the firewall. Note: My VTC solenoid was stuck in the engine. I had to use a Channellock plier to wiggle it out.

My car is a 2003 Honda Accord 2.4L. Thanks so much for the video. It was super informative and allowed me to complete the first task and put everything back together within 20min. The second part (taking out the VTC solenoid) took a bit longer because the connector/head broke off leaving the longer part inside. First I panicked but after some research found out that it was not uncommon for this to happen. First I took out the long plunger that moves in and out. It came out by hand. Then I Purchased a screw extractor set from Canadian tire. Put the largest #5 in the hole, tapped it a bit to get it to stick in the hole, started to work it back and forth and after a few minutes the rest came right out. Now I am just waiting on the new VTC solenoid to arrive, so I can install and finish the job.

Don't worry, just buy a screw extractor set ($20) and you will be able to take it right out without having to remove anything additional. Good luck.. Thanks for the awsome step by step video.

After 6 years, got P1009 code again and repeated procedure outlined in video. This time VVT solenoid wouldn't come out. Put a screwdriver on side of solenoid and tapped it with a hammer. Thought that might loosen it, but that was mistake. The attachment is really weak! It's just bent metal. Broke off the external portion of the VVT solenoid. I can confirm that the long plunger that moves in and out of the solenoid will come out by hand. It's oily so you may need to wipe it off. It will also slide back in. So you may need to play with it a little, but it does comes out easy once you get it out far enough you can grip it. After removal of center plunger, followed advice re: screw extractor. Worked fine. I would add there isn't a lot of room to work. If I didn't put an extension on my socket wrench, there wasn't enough length to reach some bolt heads. If I put a short extension on the wrench, it was too long to operate in the small space. My solution was to use a 1/2" socket wrench with a 1/2-to-3/8" reducer, which gave me about an inch of extension instead of about 2" with the short extension. Thanks to @baberabbas11

Can't Thank you enough sir! Excellent and did not waste time with unnecessary chit chat!

Great video! I like that you differentiated between the Variable timing solenoid and Vtec Solenoid. At 5:03 you mention there was supposed to be an O-ring on the end, but that it might be stuck inside. I don't think so. When you buy the O-ring from the dealer online, they show an O-ring at the front in the drawing like you mentioned.That ring is already on the solenoid in your video, its the black ring farthest to the left that keeps the oil from spilling out to the side of the engine. Its the only O-ring for sale on that solenoid. Its also a good idea to replace the Vtec solenoid screen at the rear of the engine. I'm a fan of your channel, thumbs up!

@@elkinposada6261 The O-ring is right there in the video at 5:03, its the black ring farthest to the left. The new solenoid should come with the O ring already installed on it. If your solenoid is leaking oil but it's still working fine, you can buy the O ring by itself from the dealer.

This was an excellent video. It has to be one of the best ones on you tube. Thank you

Thank you for the excellent video. I cleaned the VTC valve on my 2004 Honda Accord with 132,600 miles, which had the p1009 code. I've driven it around 22 miles since the cleaning and the check engine light has not come back on yet. I will need to drive it more to be sure this procedure addressed the problem. Here are a couple of comments: (1) the strainer looked pretty clean, but I cleaned it anyway; (2) testing the solenoid by applying 12V across the terminals took awhile because access to the terminals within the connector housing is very tight. It is too small for alligator clips. I finally located a couple of long probe pins that worked okay, but one has to be careful not to touch them together and short the circuit; (3) during reassembly, replacing the bolt that holds the solenoid on is tricky because you can't see the hole, and replacing the idler pulley is also a little tricky as you have to hold the nut that receives the bolt in position in the back of the housing while you thread the bolt or the nut pops out. There is not much room to get your hand in there. I popped the nut out once and it took 10 minutes to find the bolt as it landed on the plate below the engine. Since the solenoid works and neither the solenoid nor the screen seemed dirty, I'm not sure why the cleaning solves the problem. But if it works, I guess that's what's important.

@speedkar99

+Richard Wilhelm Thanks. My solenoid didn't seem that dirty either, but I drove thousands of km after and didn't get a p1009.

Need to say, great video. Helped me know the steps needed, except for getting the VTC solenoid out. Mine was sized in. The two parts separated. Might have been due to no room. Ended up having to take my master cylinder off, engine mount. Should just do that to make more room as part of the steps. Cause my solenoid broke apart, had to take the valve cover off and push it out from the inside, replace valve gasket. After everything is back together and a fresh oil change, it's working great.

Good explaind my friend, you're a good teacher !!!!

speedkar99, I cannot emphasize enough how careful you need to be when removing and replacing the pulley tensioner. the nut for the pulley fell out when I first removed the tensioner and I did not realize it until I went to reinstall. When I spotted the nut perilously leaning on a pulley, my son tried to be helpful and retrieve it, but only succeeded in knocking it into the splash shield. Luckily, I was able to get it. I used a piece of tape to hold the nut in place on the tensioner, but the tape didn't hold and now the nut has completely disappeared. It would be an easy engineering fix to capture the nut in the tensioner to avoid this sort of thing. Anyway, thanks for the great video!

The early type VVT solenoid shown with the black rubber seal running between the valve lands often fails because of cross leaking across the seal and lands. It passed the tests given here but . . . Result is intake cam stuck advanced with very rough running and P1009 code. I got the new style valve without the rubber seals and those symptoms completely disappeared. I bought an aftermarket because Honda valve was on back order and it is working perfectly 3 months later.

The vct solenoid was bad on the vehicle I was working on. I have been a professional auto tech for many years. I pulled the solenoid out to manually test it, valve moved freely and solenoid was strong. Usually the valve will stick or the solenoid would work intermittently or seem weak but the solenoid seemed to work fine but as soon as you start the engine the light would come on. I replaced the solenoid and it fixed it. The problem was the valve was worn allowing oil to pass through the valve when it was closed. So even if the solenoid tests good just replace it because it might just be worn out like mine was which could lead to miss diagnosing it as the cam adjuster/phaser.

Great detail!!! thank for posting this.
