    Great idea! You should do the same test but turn traction control off as it will limit torque output. This will limit the positive manifold pressure and fueling to keep from spinning the tires. As you can see the MAP reading never exceeds ambient air pressure.

    This and a few other videos were very helpful to get me started and oriented. That said I also was able to obtain the service manual for this procedure and it does not go the engine mount route. I did remove the coolant overflow for some working room but no ECM, engine mount etc. Removing the fans provides a path for the alternator between the rad and the engine block and out the battery compartment (I had removed the battery to put it on charge). The service manual doesn't mention this - only disconnect, but given how easy it is to remove the battery it's a no brainer for the easier navigation. Keep in mind to get the fans out of course you need to remove the horn, hood latch and disconnect the upper rad hose. Be sure to drain at least a litre of coolant before disconnecting to avoid / minimize any spillage. Also, you'll of course need to remove the rad brackets to allow more room for the rad to pivot back while sliding the alternator along. Another head scratcher was that the service manual said to remove the drive belt tensioner but even with it removed the mount was still blocking the alternator bottom bolt. I had to retract the tensioner and jam a rod to hold it in that position to gain access to the bottom bolt (This is covered in other videos and seems to me to be the only option) Would love to post a video but hopefully this helps someone out there. Oh and one more thing. I grabbed a rebuilt locally and the shop keeper sells 2-3 / day because the oil leak kills these units. Since this config is in so many Honda / Acuras - well you do the math. Looks like @4Runner21 had this issue.

    I dread any time I have to deal with the accessory drive on this car. No room at all. Also, my 1999 also got oil all over the belt and it was the power steering pump leaking down on the pulley and subsequently the belt. I put it off for years but the oil buildup got so bad that my alternator ended up dying so I bit the bullet and replaced the power steering pump. No more oily belt. Also, I'm glad I saw this video. From the top, it looks like the tensioner pulley has to come off to replace the belt. Nice to know it can be wedged in between the block and pulley.

    Take a pill dude and relax. The engine DOES NOT have 16 coils, it has 8. There are also 8 plug wires that run from the coil to the lower plugs. With stuff like this you will buy nothing but problems going aftermarket. I just replaced all of my coils and plug wires with genuine OEM parts. You have to shop around. Paid $11.99 each for the wires (8 of them) and $99.00 each for the coils, 8 total. Shipping and taxes totaled a little over $900. Yes, not cheap, but doing the job yourself saves about $600 in labor costs. My truck is a '11 King Ranch, 4WD with 200,000 miles on it. Had plugs changed twice (had the shop do them) but never had a problem. Figured I'd go for the coils and plug wires with that much age and miles. Thing runs like the day it was driven off the lot. Took it to a friend who has a scanner and he said it runs perfect, not a single code of any kind. He also said the decision to go OEM was the best way to go. The OEM part numbers are as follows for those who need them ....... drivers side coils , 4 of them, AL3Z-12029A, passenger side coils, 4 of them, AL3Z-12029B, plug wires, 8 of them, AL3Z-12286A. It's a fairly big job so plan on about 4 hours depending on how things go and if you take your time to do the job right. Hope this helps.

    Thanks for posting. Two suggestion. Plug the ac attachment back in before you set the alternator in place. Remove the clamps holding the ac line in place right in front of the fan and Near the firewall so you don't have to fight ac line putting the new unit in place. Your video helped enormously and I was able to do the job with no issues.

    Did this job on our 13 RDX a couple months back at 93K miles. It was covered in oil. Changed gaskets on the spool valve too which likely was the culprit. This job was not fun for a beginner like myself. Took me hours lol. You made it look way easier than it actually was at least for me lol. I even had to jack up the motor a bit to enhance clearance to scoot alternator in and out. Pushing up against the AC line was also key for me when I got the alternator in and out ! Best of luck out there folks!
