Had it towed to my house and discovered the two dreaded codes mentioned in title of post. It's low on oil but cannot get an accurate reading on sloped driveway. I'd like to just do the chain and tensioner as it's a local and short trip car from here on out. What is the easiest way to tell if there is valve damage? Reason: fact correction.

So, it is likely that you are wondering what the problem is if your mechanic has pulled code P from your car. In the case of a Honda Accord, diagnostic code P means the variable valve timing control advance is malfunctioning. The error code you receive sounds pretty severe, so what should you do if you see it? Controlling the intake camshaft phase is done through the variable valve timing control system VTC. The valve timing can be optimized based on driving conditions using oil pressure to operate the VTC actuator. The diagnostic trouble code DTC is stored if there is an over-advanced camshaft phase compared with the directed value or if the camshaft phase is otherwise abnormal. The VTC system controls camshaft oil intake. By providing optimal engine efficiency and performance, the VTC system can maximize engine performance.

We recommend Torque Pro. How much each valve will be opened is determined by the camshaft and the profile of its lobes. So, when designing the engine, the manufacturers must choose between the lowdown torque or the power output at high engine speeds. This is at least so when the ratio between the camshafts and crankshaft is fixed. Engines with variable valve timing, though, combine the best of both worlds, so to say.

If you do not do theses, will it have an idle problem or not eventually learn whatever that does? Need to urge caution. I can get my fingers between it and the pan. Could you actually fill it before. It was high but steady. Normal maintenance has always been done. Sending you a PM too. How stuck on is that main cover? Also the car started to behave as if it had more power - higher rpms, and faster accelleration after de-pressing the brake. For days it was okay but this morning the error occured again. Never did figure exactly how that shock catch works. I have an 06, and was wondering where the Actuator is located. Originally Posted by ezone.

Push lever down, push in the plunger, Just before it bottoms out you let go of the lever so it will move up to the pin hole.

The diagnostic trouble code DTC P in Honda vehicles is an indication of an issue related to the timing control of the variable valve system.

Anyhow, I took my Element in for service and they told me the VTC actuator is clogged which is kind of worrisome since I know its not an easy part to get to. Related Topics. Log in. Has it had regular oil and filter changes? Might as well check the air filter What to do? See attached pics. If I tried to give it ANY gas, it would shudder and die. What I was looking for clogged screens or non-functioning solenoids was not there. Likes: I bought this element new ex it has miles and runs great.
