The $1,000 Honda Accord EX Coupe needs a bit of mechanical help. Let's dig into it and fix everything setting the check engine light. The CEL is set for codes: P1259, P040, and P0132. We're starting with the P0404 by removing the EGR valve, cleaning it, removing all the old gasket material, and replacing the gasket with a Fel-Pro amzn.to/2JeBut6
After the EGR valve was ready to be reinstalled I removed the VTEC solenoid to resolve the P1259 code. There was some oil around the solenoid but nothing serious. From what I've seen these are rather sensitive to any oil leak or low pressure condition. I removed the solenoid assembly, tested it, cleaned everything up and replace both seals with the Dorman 917-170 kit amzn.to/2JewLYu
Replacing the spark plugs changed the scope of work a bit, one spark plug tube was nearly full of oil and is the likely cause for the erratic rough idle.The spark plugs were replaced with 4 NGK V-Power Platinums amzn.to/2LoLdzU
After that I finished the job with a new valve cover gasket set and a new air filter.

You have found you niche to take you to next step. A lot of people, myself included, loves to see these cheap buys, cheap fixes and cleans and then sale. I could watch these all day!
wamplerbp exactly .... watching fancy cars getting fixed I’ll never afford doesn’t make sense .... repairing the common car makes sense to me
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Hear here!? I second that!! Lambos are nice to dream about but these are the real everyday Joe's cars that we come across regularly, I'm in Australia & the Accord info about the EGT was quite helpful!!
@@8SecSleeper What would be illegal about buying used cars and doing some maintenance and selling them? Providing he pays his taxes on the profit margin he should be clear.
@@commonsense7057 most states require you to have a dealer license if you sell more than a certain number of vehicles per year. For example here in Florida I think I'm capped at 10 annual sales before I would be required to have a license. Not to mention taxes and registration fees on every car probably hurt the profit margin a lot on these
Nothing like a Honda or Toyota for long term reliability with just simple maintenance.
All the hondas and toyotas my family had have are always reliable, my Kia seems very reliable also.
@@NateNoShlong I havent touched a korean car yet, do they use 10mm too like the japanese cars? I know Mitsubishi has a lot of contribution to korean industry maybe they changed?
Kitsune Ken no idea but they seem to be a lot more reliable than the past Kias
yeah right, i tried and its hard, for a mechanic its easy but he will rip you off more than the cars worth
Unless it's a Honda with a bad transmission. Honda and Toyota aren't in the same boat for reliability.
I used to have a 2000 Accord 4 cylinder with the ULEV motor. At 250,000 miles or so I had ongoing EGR problems,despite replacing and cleaning the valve. One thing that can happen is there are small passages in the intake plenum that coke up as well. I tried to avoid tackling the removal of the intake plenum by trying to sneak a wire up into the passages to scrape it out, but it soon coked up again. Car still ran decently when I sold it at 288k for $1,200 in 2012, but fixing the emissions issues was more than the car was worth, and an emissions inspection was looming.
I've always loved this generation Accord. My Mom had a 1998, bought it new... looked just like this only it was red, and a V6. I was 11 and that started my Honda obsession!
Thumbs up because you opened the door for Amberghini, twice. 👍
Man I know you are tripping on cars, but that Accord almost feels like a keeper. Can't believe that you got the interior that clean, sounds like you got it running like a new car. Plus since the body is kind of beat up, its a good car for when you go into the city and don't care if somebody scrapes into it.
I have a 2002 honda accord sedan, love it 240k miles still runs beautifully.
Mine had 320,000 when the transmission went out. I can still get something out of it. I only paid $2500 and drove it over 3 years with very little in repairs.
I bought another Honda, of course.
Thank you for opening the door for Amberghini! I have noticed you do that in a couple of videos. I still do that for my wife, EVERYTIME we get in the car and have for 30 years.
Your awesome!!
Lloyd Setty - this is SO important. Strong work.
Opened the door for her after he made her carry the parts
@John Doe it's called being a gentleman, look it up, it will do you some good
I can’t get over how much better the polish job on the headlights make the whole car look.
It really does! Paint and the driver window regulator should wrap this project up 🤙
Headlights and wheels make the world go round. New headlights and rims make a car.
@@WatchJRGoMany years ago I was in the British Army Based in Germany. Because of the difference in the cost of living I got my normal wages and Overseas Allowance (Worked out based on where you were)? I went with a friend to look at brand new Toyotas. I ordered one. A Toyota Carolla Lift Back 1.2 Ltr Manual, Left Hand Drive. 0 % down, Payment over 3 years and the good news was my OA covered that and the Insurance. It was the first one in Germany (1 of 12 in my Regt by the time I left Germany it was a nice little car). Toyota recommended twice yearly Engine Oil Changes. At the time my Regt were doing trials on different vehicles looking at was that correct including Army vehicles. So twice a year I drained the Oil and got it tested. Same oil after 5 years and only replaced the Oil Filter Once a year? Very reliable and sold it to another Army person in Germany when I left and yes he knew all about the Oils. He did some of the tests.
do yuou ever ework on ford lioghtnings
don't cell and drive, safety first! nice work!
After cleaning the EGR valve, you ought to clean the channel that leads the exhaust gasses back into the intake as well. It is usually clogged solid.
Man I used to have a 98 Accord with the same exact engine in it. Learned my lesson from the car prior to it to check my engine oil once a week as the Accord would go through a half a quart every week or tank of gas. But it was a trooper of a car, never broke down, easy to maintain and service diy. Did the valve cover gasket and plugs one morning before my shift. Good videos man
and I used the same NGK you did. G power because gangster power
also changed the fuel pressure regulator on the back of the head so it was way more responsive after that too
Damn we had a 98 Accord coupe ex same color. Got it at 130,000 miles got it up to 309,700 miles before my sister was rear ended by a stupid 15 year old. My dad did like at least 3 oil changes for the 4 years we had it. Never did maintenance to it. But it somehow kept going. Awesome car.
I really like this Accord, something very appealing about the coupe. Shame you can’t keep it and get it looking fresh again. I fitted a new stereo to one at work a few months back.
Love the flip videos and videos detailing other cheap cars and "hoopties".
Just killed all the check engine lights on my 1999 accord v6 sedan. Great video btw !
JR your neighbors must love you!!! You have like 20 cars parked in front of your house hahahaha
They're too busy doing youtube cooking or cat videos.
Whenever I do the grommets for the valve cover bolts I like to use a deep 17mm socket and a bench vise. Apply some oil to the grommets and press the grommets on the bolts.
Amberghini is such a good sport helping you film, helping you carry & just even going to the auto parts store, I would put a ring on that if I met a girl like her!
One of my favorite projects you’ve done. It’s really satisfying watching you give an old car a new life
protip oem honda power steering fluid is around $4 at the honda dealer, if you buy it from walmart or where ever its like $7 a bottle.
My EGR was so cheap New for my old 02 Ford Ranger, I figured why spend time cleaning it when all the other emissions components under the hood were relatively new. I really like these videos he puts out to us, because I like seeing him put life back in an old vehicle where maybe it can help someone who's not so well-to-do afford a reliable vehicle. Yeah, it has to be a thumbs up for this guy for what he does and the knowledge he shares.
I know everyone has said this but keep finding older Hondas,they’re the best cars to flip because everyone wants em and they are pretty damn easy to work on. 🚗
I like your flip videos. Just everyday stuff. Good job 👍🏻
Reminds me of my 2000 Honda Accord 2.0 Vtec that I used to own, great car but didn't like reversing uphill! It was an automatic. Bought it for £400, sold it on for £650.
You know you’re starting to make it when kove starts showing up. Been here since just a couple thousand subs.
Watching this makes me really miss my 2000 accord coupe v6. Fun to drive, reliable, and easy to work on.
I just bought the speaker. Thank you so much for the discount code. I saved like $129 off the list price.
I have to wonder how they sell a Bluetooth speaker with a 65% discount and still make any money on them. I doubt they're selling millions of them since I've only seen them advertised on a few YT channels.
egr valve is merely the tip of the iceberg, egr passages in the intake manifold are the main issue and a pain to deal with, eric the car guy has a good video on an accord like this
at least you didnt have to take off the rocker arm assembly to replace the spark plug tube gaskets like I just did on my non-vtec
😥 ugh, that doesn't sound fun at all
funny thing is on these motors EGR valve is usually not the worst part of the system if you remove a plate that sits behind fuel rail you'll find EGR passages that are always gunked up and nasty
That EGR gasket also fits my 1987 Pontiac Fiero. Wide application in makes, models, and time.
I'd love to go out to Kansas and roll up the fat Woolford with Watch JRs Goes and Hoovies and get all schmoked up while working on the Honduhs.
Sounds like a good day 😂
I absolutely love your channel dude! These videos make me feel like I could go buy a beater and flip it easy, but I think I'll leave it to the experts, lest I kill an innocent Honda with my amateurism.
This is by far my favorite car channel. These flip episodes are super cool. Something I think almost all of us can relate to.
I buy and sell cars but have no mechanic skills. I like how you take care of everything important even if it wasn't in the original plan
I gave up on Bosch a decade ago only NGK BH5S for this old school VW boy
I just got the 2.0 version that splits into 2 speakers and the subwoofer still sounds awesome.
This guy is what I need , I’m a cheap guy, coz I always buy crappy cars , at least he fixed up the cars before selling
This generation Accord is a reliable car. I still see a lot of them (I have one too) even though some are more than 20 years old. Mine has 122k miles and runs well and does not leak any fluids. I recently had my mechanic replace those VTEC solenoid gaskets because I noticed a slight oil leak and didn't want it to get any worse. If you perform the timing belt replacement and don't run the engine out of oil or overheat it and change the oil regularly the 4 cylinder engines in these cars will last a long time.
Love my 2006 Honda Civic. Never lets me down.
Love the early 2000s Civics. I've got a 2005 Civic Hybrid 5spd sitting at 245k and it made a cross country drive perfectly. Slow as hell, but you can't argue with 45mpg!
Man this channels awesome i always look forward to episodes where you buy cheap cars and actually fix them to flip this channel definitely has huge potential i hope to see you at over 100k subs within the next year! And i look forward to all the videos on the twin turbo audi!
Old school Accords. Definitely the gold standard of used cars.
@23:58 please don't operate a mobile device while driving without using a hands free device. Not only is it illegal in most states, but your chances of getting into a "distracted driving" accident go up about 400 percent while vehicle is in motion.
Please set a positive example for people in your videos.
The commuter is badass and that's a hella of a good discount
You need to take this project to the next level and make it a convertible!
You put the tube seals in correctly. The seals can get pinched between the tube and the cover if you're not careful. I would have checked the valve clearances since the cover was off. Bad valve clearances can cause misfiring as well as burnt valves. Love the videos.
I used one of those speaker tubes in the shower because TUNES! Then I said 'screw it' and put an exhaust fan in the master bath with wireless speakers built in with LED lighting. $160 at Home Depot and I highly recommend it.
You have some good mechanical skills and it's nice to see you opening the door for ambergini.
On some of these Hondas you have to clean out the channel for the EGR system, under the EGR valve. Take a piece of speedometer cable and put it in a drill and use it like a rotor rooter down the channel. Then spray brake cleaner to flush out.
Constantly impressed with your depth of knowledge on these cars. Thanks for another entertaining fix!
This really upset some people in the last video... So I'm 100% going to do it again.... Priceless, Love it.
Dig these flip videos man. Great job
A little paste type silicone grease on those bolt grommets makes them slip on much easier. A little in the spark plug tube seals helps as well. Same for injector O rings.
Nice episode JR.. I enjoy these flipping vids.. keep up the great job.
I’m on my third Honda my first one 01 accord gold I got when I first got my license it still had 280 on the dash I had to let it go went got a 18 civic and now I own the 19 accord sport In blue
F g g's a toy i s Z g j d wet iok😀
JR, Amberghini is a keeper. My girl would never sit out there with me for even an hour while I wrenched on a car.
it hurt to see that valve casing grind against the pavement!! throw a blanket underneath man! love the videos, from CT
What? You didn't gap those plugs? C'mon now. At least check em! Dang. Love the crew at O'Rileys, especially Tyler! Thanks Tyler!
Patrick PhippsPA you’re not supposed to gap platinum or iridium plugs. It can damage the electrode.
@@tkennedy Negative. I use iridium plugs and I ALWAYS check and sometimes have to gap them. They are "supposed" to come pre-gapped, but often they are out of spec and should be gapped under the correct and careful conditions. If you're a gorilla and will man-handle them, I suppose you can slap them in, but they should be checked and gapped if necessary. Virtually all makers provide gap data. Thanks though.
JR, that's a great T-shirt. I miss my V11 Sport, but I sold it to a friend of mine when I needed some money a few years ago. I think he got the better end of the deal. Great videos.
‘This is much better than.......except that one!’ 😂 UA-cam gold! Great job JR! Great videos
The girlfriend laughing when you pull that very last coil out 🤣🤣🤣
My power steering pump had a light whine to it when I got the car with 90,000 miles on it, changed the fluid out 100% and have changed it once since then at about 140,000, now it's got 164,000 and the pump is still going. There's a lot to be said for changing fluids. Oh also my vehicle is a Saab, they have horrible reputations so you know if it works for that it'll work for anything.
Would like to see this video again on an older Honda Accord with more video and detail on removal, replacement and installation on each part and location
200K miles..still a strong engine and going silky smooth engine..:-) That's Honda.!!
Shows ya most manufacturers are in cahoots with one another, same parts fit!
Love these "Tinkering" videos and i do learn a good few thing too along the way.You can keep learning even if you know alot about cars as there's so many makes/models out there with many issues/problems incl the mis-haps from previous fixing from the last owners or "fixers". Keep 'em coming!
Nice neighborhood. I bet the hood is stoked about your shadetree shop. I know mine are! Lol! Go Jr. GO!
Was all of this done in 1 day, I'm asking cus I'm about to do it to mine and was just wanting to get an idea of how long it will take. Also love all your content I've been watching for a few years and I always stay up to date on your videos
You are a lucky man YOU HAVE A WOMAN THAT "HELPS" (a little) Mine always say bye 😫poor me
You are a lucky man YOU HAVE A WOMAN /end
Love the Accord Ex coupe (they do not make any more), mine 2012 3.5 V6 (280hp, they also don't use V6 in Accord, think Ridgeline and Pilot) - totally not me, but 8 years 170k still going
Honda decided to go to turbocharging instead of displacement and doesn't make the Accord with a V6 any more. I would be very reluctant to buy any car with a turbocharger as they are expensive to maintain.
@@1575murray Thanks, semi-agree on the turbocharger bit. Work at Audi dealership and their turbocharged engines routinely came in with 200k miles, know from experience many American turbocharged cars do not make 100k miles.
I wish you were my neighbor. These videos have been great to watch
Once again very informative and giving the viewers part numbers too. Looks 100% then when you bought it. Hope you show how you fix the windows regular. Your page rocks.
You make me wanna go buy a civic or an accord and fix it just for the giggles.
This car is sooo easy and simple to maintain. Got 213 on mines, going for 300.
At least you have people that speak English at your O'Rielys. I'm in San Diego and they don't hire many English speaking people.
You may have done this off camera but the tubes that go back into the valve cover you never put the clamps back on them. They are still clamped a few inches up from where the tube connects to the valve cover
I deleted those clips, they all went on! 💯
Sweet! Just wanted to make sure. I know we all forget the little things when we get excited lol
Always trying to be QUICK. For as much as you say it, it doesn’t seem to happen very often. 😁 There’s always something hiding behind that next bolt.
It be like that sometimes. 😁
Cool Video man like the accord also changed the sparkplugs on my 08 Civic
There should have been 4 O-rings that you have to replace by removing the rocker arm assembly... very easily removable. Most of the time with those vtecs, that’s where the oil leaks from if you’ve ever noticed it burns oil.
That cove audio speaker is playing notes and bass from your intro I cant even hear on the actual youtube intro!
👍🏽 for adding 5-10 HP to that motor by doing simple maintenance.
She's a keeper. So is the Honda.
Very instructive videos very clear to understand special for people like me, Iam not mechanic can you please make closer camera sometimes Iam learning with your videos.God bless you,from Baltimore.
I really like the way these video are edited.
well... it's not nice to not evacuate the oil before putting the spark plug back in, I've seen a lot of hydrolocking situations because of that. I usually crank the engine without the affected cylinder to push the oil out
Really enjoy your method of working on these jobs, bit like an American version of HubNut. You seem to enjoy working on and know a lot about Hondas, great cars to be fair.
My white,4 door,5 speed manual , 1999 Accord cost me 394$s tax,tag, title......217.xxx+ miles.... AC and heat work.
OK, this is at least the second time I've watched you remove spark plugs from a well that's been flooded with oil due to a hardened vc gasket and never have you shown any concern for the oil that runs into the cyl after you removed the spark plugs,
There's a significant potential for the piston to "hydro-lock" and either bend a connecting rod or break a piston, if you have the right conditions occurring, You REALLY shouldn't reinstall your plugs into the head WITHOUT FIRST CRANKING THE ENGINE OVER WITH THE PLUGS OUT AND THE THROTTLE AT WOT, this is all it takes to avoid a major disaster to the bottom end of the motor, and should be done if you don't have a compressor and long blow gun to clean the wells BEFORE removing the plugs, which is my personal preferred method, just a thought...
Dude!!! I freakin' L O V E your t-shirt! So cool.
mCe
JR I've got an extra lower VTEC solenoid gasket that I wasn't able to install before I sold my Accord. I could send it your way if you're going to fix up another Accord
luke wilson working on cars never gets old
Really love these flip videos.
lube the bolt seals, they slide on easier. I see a lot of myself in what you do. Take care of deferred maintenance.
2:25 I felt you
Lmao I felt it too ouch 😯
It's ok Amberghini!
might wanna put a lil silicone in the sharp corners on the valve cover gasket, where they meet the cams, but only as security. Otherwise nice!
Ay so it now runs and looks good
had a 2004 chevrolet malibu that had EGR issues every single year of me owning it. the passage from the EGR to the throttle body would get blocked by sludge. fuck, i hated you 2004 malibu, but i miss you.
I was taught that when you put the valve cover back on, you do it in a cris-cross pattern to torque it correctly. I have not seen in done in sequential order until this video. Question to those more experienced than me - which way is correct? Thanks.
Dang you left the poor bro hanging at 16:50 lol
Learning alot from watching these uploads.
how do you make this clear voice record on your videos my friend, it great
