Hey so was you vtec rev’n up to 4K ? And did you have leaks around the distributor cap as well & b4 you tried this did you try anything else like oil change & clear codes ??
No to any of the things you mentioned I had the code so I replaced it. But I have seen where low oil pressure or low oil level can also cause problems with the VTEC system
@@82Devilz if it is just leaking and you aren't getting a code, you can save money by replacing the gasket, but if the CEL is on, then you need to replace the solenoid and gasket to fix the VTEC issue
Where does the green plug disconnect from having some issues. Because my motor is not the original it is an Acura motor and I can't find where it goes. Don't know if it makes a difference.
Hi Joe I’m getting the P1259 code on a 2002 4cylinder accord, I replaced the VTEC solenoid but I’m still getting that same code, what else could cause it? Thanks for the help.
Hello, I haven't been able to remove the vtec accord 2.3 getting to the bolts is uncomfortable I've tried and I've only loosened one bolt, I don't know what else to do to remove the other bolts 😢😢
It is definitely an uncomfortable location. I would recommend to get a stool or step ladder, you kind of have to lay on the engine to get to the back of it. Go in from the side of the engine bay (passenger side)
Suggest you go back and actually look at this video and tell me again if you would sign your name to it. PISS POOR on so many tangents, missing steps, camera not directed to the actual work-area.......
@@maintainer747 for sure, i didn't have anyone else available so i figured someting is better than nothing. it's pretty straightforward you just remove the 3 10mm bolts and upclip the electrical connector and replace with gasket
@@youautoknowjoe Thank you for posting. That is a great service to all shade trees trying to fix their vehicles. I apologize if I seemed negative. You didn't have to share the process at all.
despite all the comments on the quality i found that this helped me replace my solenoid quite well. many thanks!
Great! I’m glad it was helpful
It it best to replace whole solenoid or just replace the gasket?
When you loosened that bottom 10m on the solenoid did you loosen it from the side or did you position your wrench from the transaxle then up
Honestly I’m not sure I apologize for the poor quality but if you try with a shorty box wrench or small 1/4” wrench you should be able to get in there
Did your dog hold the camera?
Lmmfao 😅😅😅🤦
It's great that you did this but it's too fast and too close at times.
Thank you for the feedback, I will apply it to future videos

"Just disconnect this and remove this bolt" *zoomed in view of wire looms and hoses*
Lol ya ngl this isn’t my best video

Have you cleared the code?
@@youautoknowjoehow would you clear the code?
Check oil pressure sensor or do an oil change and change filter

Not a bad video, just think you can work on the editing.

It's pretty cramped in that area, hopefully I did enough to help those that need a little guidance.
@@youautoknowjoe may have been better to have someone else hold the camera, I missed a lot of what you were actually doing.

Do it yourself then
Can't see what he's unplugging
I know its hard to see but if you trace the wire from the solenoid back towards the fire wall you will find the plug
Name of the part ?
It's called the VTEC or VVT (Variable Valve Timing) solenoid
Damm bro step step step wth 🤦
Scary
Terrible video camera angles could be better.
Bad camera man and his camera suck
