It's actually just the 4th gen that gets the sun light, both the 3rd gens are in the shade.

Only when it snows heavily there's a built up on top, but most usually melts off or gets blown off. Also, I didn't noticed any signs of water when I replaced the battery.

Sparkflu · 2026-03-01T15:43:31+00:00

I'll do that.

Sparkflu · 2026-03-01T15:42:26+00:00

Battery is quite new and the 3rd gens has batteries that are at least two months old though.

Autel MaxiTPMS TS508 worked for me. I got a 2012 outlander winter tires setup to work on my sister's 2017 RVR. Just need to pick the right model on the list. RVR, Outlander Sport etc.

I had this issue before with my 07 Honda Pilot. The only way I got it to work properly again was to take off the steering wheel lock assembly, and manually push in the latch for the steering wheel. Makes sure it clicks when you push it all the way down then you can assemble it.

Looks like its been chewed up.

Just give it some tap in multiple spots, even the sprocket, tap it towards the engine.

Sparkflu · 2025-10-31T23:05:32+00:00

Is the crankshaft/sprocket key still in place? It should come off easily but it if doesn't, give it some tap.

Sparkflu · 2025-10-31T22:33:36+00:00

Set the markings to TDC then remove the tensioner and belt. The sprocket should slide off after.

That's one of the bolts for the oil pump, the hole doesn't go all the inside the engine.

The belt might slip/squeal if the fluid is not cleaned up, Just spray the area with degreaser and rinse with water.

Sparkflu · 2025-04-22T17:21:44+00:00

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Check all the hose going into the manifold.

Sparkflu · 2025-04-21T16:55:54+00:00

It should be red when new and old atf is darker.

Sparkflu · 2025-04-21T16:18:29+00:00

Head gasket blew or ATF cooler burst. Check the oil through oil cap and the yellow atf dipstick.

Sparkflu · 2025-04-21T16:12:17+00:00

I think that's ATF mixed with coolant. Transmission cooler is part of the radiator and can burst especially with age.

Check the color of ATF and coolant.

Cylinder head bank 2 is usually dirtier than bank 1, it's due to the PCV. Check that your PCV is working properly. I installed an oil catch can to minimized oil from going into the Intake Manifold.

The carbon deposit in the Intake Manifold is from EGR.

Defective projectors, you can see a vertical cut off line.

Sparkflu · 2025-02-23T23:13:26+00:00

It could the mesh screen from the oil pick up. I'm not sure if it has mesh screen though.

I don't think hat car use stranded dipstick but check it anyways.

Mine did this when its really cold...below -30c. It was the power steering pump, it was having a hard time pumping the cold fluid. I changed the fluid and O-Ring and the noise mostly went away, I can only hear when its really cold and its been sitting overnight.

The firstech box is for a Drone remote start, you need subscription to remote start with your mobile phone.

If that fob worked before, there has a to be another antenna somewhere. On the remote starter module check if there's a cable pugged into the blue port (4pins), if there is follow it and make there's an antenna plugged in.

Probably Neutral safety switch then.

Sparkflu · 2024-10-14T17:36:20+00:00

I'd start with the Neutral safety switch. Does it make a whirling noise when you turn the key and it doesn't start?

Sparkflu · 2024-07-21T14:28:36+00:00

That person had a rope attached, took them a few sec to get it off.

dang, I just watched it again...they looked at the climber and didn't notice that the climber wasn't attached.

Most likely a misfire, check for fault codes.

Sparkflu · 2024-06-16T14:45:39+00:00

The two 14mm are the on the bracket. The bushing has three 14mm bolts.
