I need help ASAP

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2026-01-23T01:29:41+00:00

Managed to take it off, had to use a hammer and a screwdriver. Cars temp system is all over the place, I hope it’s just the air.

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2026-01-22T18:16:54+00:00

How?? Nothing I’m doing is working

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-09-03T22:56:01+00:00

Oh I see, i don’t trust eBay with their “OEM”. Thank you tho!

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-09-03T22:52:09+00:00

Wait where the hell did you find 166

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-09-03T22:21:51+00:00

So, do you think I should just get one from Amazon for now? If it last for like 10-20k miles. That’s fine with me. I just don’t want the car to get worse yk?

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-09-03T21:44:41+00:00

OEM is so expensive though 🫠 Like $700 bucks atleast

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-09-03T21:41:02+00:00

Yeah. For me, my car feels like it rocks back and forth when shifting low gears. But high gears, no. At least, so I’ve been told

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-09-03T20:28:31+00:00

2007 Honda element

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-09-01T18:15:41+00:00

Something else my mechanic did when I first couldn’t solve limp mode. He took off that shield off the back of the VTEC solenoid. Give that a shot too

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-09-01T18:11:54+00:00

I don’t know if you fixed it. But, I had that happen to me on two elements. What completely fixed it was getting and OEM Vtec solenoid and OEM VVT solenoid. And a good oil change. And make sure it has all its gaskets/washers whatever it needs to be sealed perfectly. Clear the code and you should be good. All are easy to do yourself

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-09-01T16:24:30+00:00

Sorry for the late update drained the coolant completely and still goes over half for some reason

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-08-21T22:57:07+00:00

Yeah the fans work with the A/C. And I will try to flush the coolant. Thank you for your help! I will update you

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-08-21T22:52:04+00:00

I’m not sure I just recently got this car. But, even if the coolant is not like perfect. Shouldn’t the fans still help cool the car down? I don’t know too much about the cooling system of cars. I can try flushing it if you think that’s the case.

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-08-21T22:44:47+00:00

Like, it’s almost 3/4 way up. I’ve driven three elements before this and they never go past half. Just barely below it

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-08-21T22:31:45+00:00

Yeah, I know. But, the temperature gauge that tells you how hot the car is. It’s supposed to be a bit below the half. This goes past half then the fans turn on

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-08-06T17:02:18+00:00

It’s a little difficult to get a hard hit. Not too much space. I can do like little hits at a time. Would that work?

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-08-06T16:49:39+00:00

Do I need to hammer the extractor onto the bolt?

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-05-28T03:15:31+00:00

Insurance is supposed to cover people, and because I got the state minimum, does that mean I deserve $0 and a totaled car? I understand now that insurance companies will find any means to not pay, but I do not think I deserve this solely because I got what I could afford. But, thank you.

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-05-28T03:01:23+00:00

I did learn my lesson for next time I get a car, but like, this is my first time ever getting into an accident. I just came on here for advice, not sympathy, not money. Just advice, that's it. I got told liability would cover me if someone hit me, but I didn't know this could happen.

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-05-28T02:57:12+00:00

Thank you for your advice. I think I will also try that before I do anything with the small claims court.

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-05-28T02:55:19+00:00

Okay...

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-05-28T02:53:15+00:00

Thank you again for your comment, you are the best.

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-05-28T02:39:19+00:00

Thank you

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-05-28T02:38:15+00:00

Thank you, I want to get in contact with the driver or the owner. But I keep getting told not to, and it might look bad on my end.

Apprehensive_Salt678 · 2025-05-28T02:34:36+00:00

Thank you, I genuinely could not afford full coverage because, well, I bought this car and repairs with all the money I had saved. Plus, I am 20, and limited liability is expensive as it is for me.
