    This is very important info for those of us with Honda J-series engines. Im aching to buy 6 new fuel injectors. But from honda (for all 6) its 408$. 68$ each one. But on Rockauto, the "Standard Motor" injectors are 47$. Ive had good experience with Standard motor. But delicious OEM is of course the way to go. But ehhhh its so expensive. lol

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars VAL LUKEN says:

    What was the resistance on the OEM new injector? The fault was 4.1 what about the new one ?

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars xelaju8 says:

    This by far my favorite Auto Channel in YT. Thanks for all the videos.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars james guralski says:

    I'm considering changing my injectors. I have random misfires on all cylinders.. what's your scan tool?

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sohka Thatch says:

    I just realized he called Honda "Han-doo" lol 😆😂👍👍👍

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Geo Jor says:

    Eric, does the 2016 Honda Pilot have the CVT Transmission, and if so, are they fairly long-lasting ? your videos are always informative & enjoyable to watch …

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ronan Canonizado Asis says:

    what apps is that you used to check the engine?

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pat Jago says:

    All hell broke out- Not because of that……😂😂😂

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Corts says:

    Nice follow up. You must be very organized to work and run a business along with producing some most excellent videos. Wonder if the pcm couldn't handle the extra draw from that injector and the others suffered.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars e13c7r0nic says:

    That's a cool light that you hang across the hood.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Donelow says:

    Great job. Great advice on following the plan. Stop apologizing. Clone yourself and distribute throughout the hinterlands, so that cars everywhere can be fixed without the noise of the parts cannons firing.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John G says:

    How did that one bad injector cause misfires in the other cylinders?

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars neptun3se says:

    Is it a Pontiac Solstice back there? Hope next video will include that!

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars rimmersbryggeri says:

    What scan tool were you using in this video?

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sean Christian says:

    Hey o there is not a tech, mechanic,or engineer that didn't make a mistake but your videos make good breakfast to enjoy thanks

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pete Medina says:

    Nice job I could hear the difference now after the repair it's way smoother.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cody’s Auto Diagnostics & Programming LLC says:

    Great follow up buddy!!

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CMC CMC says:

    I have a 2005 Honda pilot with 203,000 on it I notice it's starting to have a rough idle at cold start up what could that be

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars buffettfanman says:

    Is it plugs or coils that is the main cause of misfires?

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rbarr says:

    Loved the update thanks

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Poway Imports says:

    Honestly We gave up on Napa and the others years ago. We had so much if this type of stuff that we threw in the towel. We just don’t have the time to deal with AM shanagins. Either way glad you got er done!

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Billy Smith says:

    Missed ya n=my man. Nice o see you working on cars. Even though we know your busier than a hornets nest. Taking time to teach us what you know……awsome

    Good news: I found a good mechanic. Bad news: He's 2,700 miles away.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kelly Constenius says:

    Chill bro.. You have earned some slack from us.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ning3n says:

    The napa part is meant for a different engine code of honda 3.5s.
    I've had that issue with multiple parts for honda and mitsu engines from napa. Their parts ID system is garbage.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Maxfield says:

    Eric. you are very simply, the best mechanic on the YT " not a sponsor"!! Thanks and all the best..

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars pyro323 says:

    No worries Eric O. your audience can overlook this minor infraction…this time. Just kidding, we like seeing you solve customer problems and getting the job done right the first time. GOD bless!

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dumb Ass says:

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars commodore665 says:

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian Mason says:

    MUST AGREE WITH EVERYONE ELSE! You have NOTHING to apologise for…..you have a business to run and a family to provide for …."taking care of us" should be the last thing on your mind…… have a great day and go get some ice cream w the wife and kids!!!!!

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Arthur Fricchione says:

    Eric O one quick question. If you used the scanner to shutoff the number 1 injector would you have seen the same results as unplugging it or do you need the connector disconnected? A real pain getting to 3.5 injectors on the Hondo as you know. Thanks, Eric 👍👍👍

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tony Ray says:

    I missed out on what happened to the air compressor that use to kick in on all your videos ?? Get rid of the leak, or moved it outside ?? Nice video, thanks for the views.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fascist Pedant says:

    You do an exceptional job by following your instincts. Following your gut may have cost an hour this time but has saved many hours on other jobs. It's a game of odds. You have one of the best guts out there, keep following it.

    As a case study, it would have been interesting to try to explain the weird misfire patterns.

    Thanks again for taking the time to produce these videos, it's greatly appreciated by many.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bobby Bentley says:

    111000 just break-in in baby

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars GunfighterWyo says:

    Ice cream, you scream for ice cream, since you did a good job, it is time for ice cream!

    what is with people and skulls………..Unless your going into battle with the 3rd SS Panzer division and your ready to die……….leave them alone.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars phil says:

    **SYMPTOM EXPLANATION**
    Assuming the ECU fires the injectors through a NPN or N channel MOSFET (the injectors have constant +12v and the ECU grounds the injector to fire it.) What you may have had was something called ground bounce. When there's a massive inrush of current into a relatively small ground supply, what can happen is it will raise the voltage level of the ground. This will negatively affect all other injectors, assuming they're using the same ground source as the defective injector. Hope this makes sense.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sakitlikod1 says:

    Eric, Do you have the video on how to replaced the injector for this Honda?

    That poor starter sounds like a buddy of mine who has asthma!

    Thank you sir for the great content, watching from North Carolina. I'm a police officer but enjoy fixing cars on my days off and your content has helped me in locating and diagnosing some issues. Keep up the great work sir.

    110K on the clock – –  just broken in!  These Hondoos will run forever with a little care.
