I watched the 2 videos and I have to thank you for a wonderful job you've done. As I have a similar problem in my 2002 honda civic, can a bad EGR cause the car to run rich and effect fuel economy?
great work! got yourself a subscriber from cape cod m.a.
Hey bud my check engine light just came on in my 03 odyssey. Is it ok to drive just briefly until i can get a mechanic
Nice fix!
Love your videos and thorough troubleshooting and explanations. I don’t have an Odyssey but I watch those vids anyway to learn what may happen on my “new to me” 2006 Ridgeline. But I do have one question.
I’ve heard that Honda EGR systems (and some others) are fairly sensitive and it’s best to use OEM parts. I noticed you used a Wells EGR valve, so I assume you are fairly confident in their quality and they work well on Honda vehicles.
If Wells is good, what other suppliers do you use on Hondas and what suppliers would you avoid?
Thanks in advance!
love this video same thing happen in my 2000 honda odyssey thank you for the info. ireally appreciate.
😎
Thanks for the video.
There is not many like you no parts canon just great work. I do hope your customers realise how good you are.
Not that it matters, since the valve is all 1 assembly, but would you suspect a flakey position sensor, or a weak EGR pintle return spring that is fluttering, and the sensor is just reporting it? I used to find that the return spring got weak a lot back in the day when Fords had the replaceable sensor on top. The sensor was fine, just doing its job… Anyway, nothing like a 100% confirmed fix.
Thank you.
Thank you for being so thorough and taking your time to help the rest of us. I love YouTube for and appreciate all the people who post these kind of videos, but I gotta say, Eric you are the best! Thank you again.
Great video you know cars keep up the good video.
South main really like your show thumbs up, Knightdale,n.c.
Great.
great videos part 1 and 2 keep up the good work Eric O
I am having hard time cleaning the lower intake manifold passage on this exact vehicle. I cleaned the passage in the plenum and put the new Wells EGR valve. There is a vacuum at the EGR port when I take it off but not enough to over rev the engine or stall it when forcing EGR valve to open. I have taken off the plenum twice in last two weeks and I would rather not have to do it again. I have watched BG Induction EGR cleaning video and I was wondering if I can feed similar 3M chemical through the EGR vacuum port. The passage on this vehicle is too convoluted so even the snake drill most likely will not go through. To take the manifold passage off the car is probably above my comfort level, so I am avoiding it. Mode $6 data clearly shows the EGR passage is blocked.
What would you have done if you had found the passage blocked on that Odyssey?
As much as I fiend for your videos, I have to say "if I can do it, you can do it" doesn't ring true. You've got skills. Hell, I can't read no farking scan tool. I can't even spell EGR. And you've got some choice diagnostic toys. In any event, love your channel
I always thought that EGR valves are specific to Diesel engines (or turbocharged engines) – after a bit of research it seems I am definitely wrong. My thoughts also came from the fact that after owning 3 petrol cars (neither of them having an EGR valve) – my current Ford (diesel ) has it.
Nothing like upstate NY in Feb. Just lovely.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
how much is that snap on computer you use
Well done, verifying the repair , done once done right. As. dIY I get quite a bit of work from my local dealers that charge $125 an hour plus 13% tax. They seem to read a code a slap on a part. I just did a repair on a 2011 cobalt the dealer said was a evap purge solenoid , oh yeah I see it when the code comes back on, it was a open wire in the connector. Customer got hossed once and was afraid to go back an tell them what I found. Now she won't go back and the dealership will loose business. There's good techs there that suffer because of a bad apple or untrained. I don't want to slag the industry but I would say parts changers a quite common. Heck I don't mind it gives me some pocket change and repeat customers. Take Care Steve.
PS – the woman was not told the repair was covered under the warranty , her total bill was $165 – plus they kept her good solenoid and sold her another good solenoid.
Eric, really appreciate you taking the time to post these videos. I really enjoy them. I've been retired since 08 but work out of my garage 3 or4 days a week. Nothing heavy anymore. Mostly elec. and a/c some diagnosing a few brake jobs struts here and there a ball joint or two. you have got me hooked but don't envy NY left there in 62 climate is a lot milder here in TX. thanks again.
