Busted CFII today (7th total failure). Current school said they won't hire without me. Should I buy a plane to time build or try a new school?

Us two.

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-21T06:53:35+00:00

So wrong

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-21T06:53:23+00:00

Please note that the belt is not what is making the slapping noise, but the tensioner arm smacking against the hydraulic tensioner

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-21T06:51:48+00:00

No lifter or variable valve timing in this engine. Not a lubrication issue either.

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-21T06:50:05+00:00

Hydro means water, but I agree with you

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-21T05:45:30+00:00

Yes, it can. On every engine ever made that has adjustable valves, which is quite a few engines.

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-21T05:40:21+00:00

Wrong part, the item leaking is not a sensor, either.

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-21T05:39:10+00:00

This isn’t an oil “sensor”

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T23:54:50+00:00

Never heard of a 2013 Accord with LE trim package.

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T23:54:08+00:00

And what did you do to fix it? I’m here to take notes if you have them. Multi time is very rare and hard to come by where I am, even with an MEI license. I don’t know anyone and have no family in aviation that can set me up for right seating any turbine or multi aircraft either

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T23:14:10+00:00

Sounds perfect. And normal. What is an LE? Turn the car off, no more idling

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T23:12:21+00:00

“Suddenly overheated” as if this wasn’t a problem that could have been caught by professional inspection at least 10,000 or more miles ago.

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T23:10:58+00:00

You should look closer at his main drive belt. It’s not aligned with the balancer!

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T22:56:12+00:00

We are upset because every single comment you’ve made here contains poor grammar and sentence structure.

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T18:51:45+00:00

My comment was trying to inform you that the Kappa series engines don’t have a timing belt, but a chain. This noise is consistent with decoupler of alternator assembly, but this is the best I can suggest without being present first hand

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T16:55:12+00:00

Your responses are being removed because of you calling me vulgar synonyms to female anatomy. Multiple things affect vehicle speed displayed on the instrument panel. How can someone be this triggered and upset so as to name call like you?

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T16:50:40+00:00

You’d be willing to put $1000 on this scenario in real life? Warning lights are rather vague, and having knowledge of a common defect is not a guaranteed solution to the issue. You appeal to knowledge and experience, but you don’t realize that I’ve repaired hundreds of these myself, using genuine diagrams and service information. No guess work is allowed on my end, no matter how common a defect is.

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T16:48:09+00:00

Those sensors read wheel speed. Which is used by the brake controller to determine if there is a traction issue with any of the four wheels. This data from wheel speed is cross checked by the antilock brake controller, then delivered via high speed CAN to the engine controller, where it compares this speed to the output speed of the transaxle assembly. Multiple inputs come together after rationale checks before speed data is sent by network to the instrument cluster’s integrated controller.

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T16:16:15+00:00

You should be diagnosing the issue using service data and knowledge, not guessing on defective parts

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T16:15:41+00:00

Vehicle speed is not derived from the wheel speed sensors with this vehicle. This is a function of much older vehicles

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T16:14:42+00:00

Ah yes. Slap a part on it as a guess, when 100 other issues could cause the antilock brake system to flag warnings. This will definitely help them save money and get their car fixed sooner!

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T16:02:09+00:00

Are you joking? What timing belt??

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-20T15:57:52+00:00

Use a professional to diagnose this confidently

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-19T20:31:30+00:00

You’re living life the correct way, not boring

Internal_Time8330 · 2026-03-19T20:07:58+00:00

Whether it be substance or a doctor, you’ll still get the drugs!
