The new spring is 0.63 mm, while the old one is 0.51 mm, making the new spring stiffer than the old one. It seems that the primary cause of the Honda rattling issue is a design flaw. The mechanism’s operation depends on both spring stiffness and the time required to build up oil pressure. Over time, as the car ages, the spring stiffness decreases, causing the VTC pin to release early before sufficient oil pressure has built up. This issue may also be worsened by the longer oil pressure build-up time in older cars. A slightly stiffer spring can resolve this, but if it’s too stiff, the VTC pin may not unlock at all, leading to a different error code.

@@mksckumara Hi Kumara! I would be very grateful if you could provide the measurements of the spring, specifically the length and thickness. The diameter of the coil is already clear. Thank you in advance!

@@parkjohn7771 no

No, rattling issue gone, use Spring-Start extreme kit. Or you can try a spring with little bit higher tension. But don't increase it too much,

Do you live in Edmonton area by any chance. I did like to hear more information on this .

​@AbdisahalHassan I live in Winnipeg. What are the questions you have?

What is the torque spec for screws on actuator ?

Started normally with the relay pulled? Looking at the wiring diagram that's not possible. Would be like removing a light switch, capping the wires and when you flip the breaker back on, the fixture lights up

It is 2014 CRV Ex, but I heard starter motor location different for some trim levels. Some got towards the back side (transmission)

Mine is same location

It could betransmission range swich. How did you verify that the starter be good?

@@mksckumara it works half the time. This problem is intermittent. Acts like a switch. I put the shift lever in N and if cranked. My wife of 52 years can break anything. She can only be trusted with an anvil, otherwise I have something else to fix😛

@@mksckumara when the electrical circuit is made it starts the car,normally. I do not know what is impeding the start circuit, but it is intermittent. Acts almost like a safety on a riding lawn mower, something is breaking the start circuit. On my CRV is the big audio screen. Tonight, when I tried to crank it, it would not. But as soon as the audio screen came on it would crank.

@@johnclarke6647 Based on the above description, it can be due to a connection issue of the battery wires, check the battery negative terminal grounding to the car body. check the key fob battery condition If the car is around 120000 km, the starter motor also can give similar intermittent starting symptoms. But in that case, you can hear a clicking sound from the bottom of the engine during failed attempts.

@@mksckumara I found the problem and have it fixed. When Honda replaced the battery in this car in 2020 the must have loosened the auxiliary ground wire which mounts to the side of the negative terminal. They had to replace the battery, again, in 2021 because it failed. I think T He bolt they loosened came out pretty soon after they replaced the first battery, so it did not charge, properly and they did not correct the issue when the replaced the battery. I caught the missing bolt when Walmart replace the battery the other day. I was going to put a new boot in it but the hole in the connector will not line up with the hole in the terminal. So, the ground connector was just laying on the ground terminal and would work sometimes and not work other times. This morning I put a big pair of hemostats on the connector and it has cranked every-time, since. I have an appointment at Honda and I am going to make them fix it. I would but would loose the codes for the radio, cd,etc. I am not putting those codes in,again. I think it was also effecting how the battery charged. It is a poor electrical design in my book.

Do you hear any clicking sound at the starter when the car is not starting? ua-cam.com/users/shortsNiCiQZa8Jcg?feature=share

@@mksckumara no, just a relay over by the glove compartment. I press down the break pedal and press the start button. Dead meat. Sometimes if I keep pressing the break pedal it will start. The break pedal does act a little funny.

@@johnclarke6647 like it’s hard unable to press down right ? It almost reminds me of the feeling after you pump the brake a couple times and it seizes up … That’s what I’m experiencing
