Valve adjustment is a wear item and needs to adjusted when needed. The problem is when. Coil problems should throw a code so you can diagnosis it but many say it wont throw a code. Might have some thing to do with the ecu is capable of working in limp mode and not throwing codes because of a back up processor. I wonder if resetting the ecu by disconnecting the battery will show the problems then? Tech - ECU Anatomy OBD I I know it says it should go on but for some reason it dont in the new cars.

Sure, but we spent that $15 every 10,000 miles and back then pizza was fifty cents a slice.

 

No indeed. Once a year unless racing about 30-40 thousand miles. And unless you visired up north or lived there no pizza by whole or slice.
cheers.

 

I remember every 10,000 miles was a tune-up- plugs, points, air filter, fuel filter, timing...

But once a year is about that for most people anyway.

 

Your dealer 'sold' you.

Anytime after 30,000 miles. Read your maintenance manual. Honda and other warranty's have a maintenance schedule that is outside the warranty that owner is responsible. Don't do it and you may not have a warranty claim. Spark plugs, brake pads, and coil paks are part of those. The deasler/Honda is responsible ONLY for those items in the maintenance warranty.
Your only hope is to base your claim for repairs on the federal 50,000 miles emissions requrement, and a cogniscent dealer knows plugs and coil paks are maintenance; owbner is required to maintain the car per mnaintenace required by the 'book'.

 

Children look каушки ignitions and candles, the original cause in them, especially is illness of these cars.

 

Don't forget the tightly folded sand paper...

 

Sorry comp locked up well I got fucked they say its valve adjustment not coil packs 40000 miles on and no hard running so called America Honda and said well we have to back our dealers my deal is that its faulty wiring/electrical witch should be a recall well she said if do valve and still then they will help but I know ill get the old well url dint maintain ur car spill FML the coil pack ruined my CAR!!!!
WHAT SHOULD U DO
TO COIL OR NOT TO COIL :'(

 

I need help!!!!

 

I'd show you how to do it and lend a hand, but you live too far away.

 

We're not on hand to diagnose your problem and it doesn't sound like the dealer is interested in anything but $.(surprised?)
So you have to help yourself - by buying a OBD II testerer or going to an auto place that will do it for you - and not many will.
They cost about $50 at most parts houses and it will save you a lot more beginning now.
I rather doubt that valve clearance is the problem but it can be a contributor. More likely its the plugs and coil paks. They don't last forever and 50,000 miles is pretty much their life. Some fail at even 30,000 miles and some at 80,000 but most at around 50,000 miles.
So you MUST help yourself by buying or borrowing a OBD tester and by their easy instructions run the codes, check their manual and determine yourself just whats wrong. then go tell the mechanic what to fix. Some customers have 12 year olds who it expertly.
PS read your Fit maintance requirements, too.

 

Lol well if u were u read the other post u will SEE that I did and my computer wasn't READING had talk to American Honda and they simply don't have mechanical tech mainly customer service ... I feel this prob should ne recalled .... thanks for nothing tho

 

The post I read said you 'read' with a scan gauge. Try an Actron. If you get no reading there is something more important wrong and it could be your ECM. Perhaps you should have an independent mechainic familiar with OBD code reading use their OBD code reader.

 

Indulge me for a moment to pile on with my sob story about my only slightly mistreated Fit with a stuttering engine. My 2008 Fit has 158,000 miles [crazy long commute that I'd rather not have to explain], and the engine has been stuttering a little bit since about 110,000 miles, mostly while cruising in the 2400-2500 rpm range. I had the spark plugs changed at 101,000 [I just called the garage to check their service records]. The engine stutter has recently become much more prominent, sapping virtually all power when accelerating from a stop or near stop.

So, Google lead me here, and I've been under the impression that its the spark plugs and/or coil pack[s]. But, what I've not been able to find a correlation to via Google is the much-documented engine stutter with ODB-II codes P1172 and P2A00, which first popped up about 25,000 miles ago. The only reason I've been slack about not having that taken care of is the horror stories from other people that have tried to get a dealership no-service dept to admit the existence of their own service bulletin to update the GD software.

Anyways, I've been able to mitigate the stutter a little bit by using 93 octane. But, I'm now being told that this points away from a spark plug issue because [the story goes] higher octane gas requires a hotter spark that a spark plug unable to reliably ignite 87 octane would have an even harder time igniting. Am I being fed a line of bull?

More importantly, how closely linked are my check engine codes with the engine stutter?

 

That is a lot of miles. When was the last time you change the fuel filter? O2s are made to last to 110000 miles at most. They usually start going at 50000 miles and when it gets out of bounds it throws a code. I would replace the fuel filter and reset the ecu and clear codes. The O2's also need to be replaced but replacing the fuel filter should restore some power. Here is a link to the codes. https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...odes-list.html

 

On average it 50000 around here. I had to replace 1 o2 on the van at 100,000 miles and my dad replace all 4 twice in his Toyota Avalon with 100,000 miles. They are suppose to last to 110,000 now. Most of the time the resetting of the ecu and clearing codes the problem goes away for a while. That problem pops up in the spring and fall due to fuel changes.

 

How about just getting some coil packs?

 

It might not be the coil packs. I've never had that problem with all my Honda's. Its good to reset the ecu a few times a year. Coil problems should produce a misfire code and it can be a lot of problems. p1172 is a fuel pump problem which could be a fuel filter clogged that caused the pump to go out and a P2A00 is a slow responding O2. Resetting the ecu and erasing the codes after checking for air leaks and installing a new fuel filter should work unless the O2 is gone. This way you know for sure with out replacing everything.

 

silverbullet, are you talking about O2 sensors?
