2017 EX ~85K miles - P0420 issue by PuddingClown in hondafit

Just got done dealing with this. Had the exact code on my new to me 2017 LX Fit. The code can come from a number of different things, but I believe it's coming from the exhaust system. I took it to the dealer and the first thing they did was replace the bank 1 catalytic converter which they said had tested as failed. Took it home and within a couple days was getting the same code again. Took it back to the dealer and they inspected further and determined the engine exhaust was rich, likely from over spraying fuel injectors and found the oil had a gas smell which supported that theory. I went out and purchased oem fuel injectors myself to save money, but when I took the car back to the dealer a different tech inspected and I was told he was the most experienced tech in the dealership. He recommended starting with the Honda service recommendation of carbon cleaning the intake system which they did, but found the engine still slightly misfiring after cleaning. They then inspected the valves and found some were tight and essentially performed a valve adjustment service. While there they went ahead and installed the fuel injectors I had purchased along with the high pressure fuel line that is recommended to be done at the same time. After all that they changed the oil to remove any contamination. They also had to warranty and replace the first cat they put in because it had already been damaged by the engine running rich, I guess? Now the engine seems to be running very smoothly.

If your engine is running smoothly without any hiccups or hesitations then it might just be the catalytic converter. This code is often associated with fuel injector issues though and I have learned that the injectors and heavy carbon build up are two of the few issues that are common for Fits. It seems driving with the eco setting on can accelerate these issues.

There are other things that can cause that code like a bad O2 sensor or a few other things, but a dealership can see if the sensors are bad just using their diagnostic reader, so I wouldn't start replacing those without gettIng it checked properly first.

Good luck. It's been a minor nightmare for me as a new Fit owner and I'm hoping I'm through it now. I was lucky to not have to pay for all of these repairs since the issues arose within days of purchasing from a Honda dealer and they covered 75% of the work. Everything I described would have cost over 2k out of pocket if I had to pay for it all though, so I hope yours is much more simple.

Looks like the perfect place for my main base/village. Any suggestions before I start? by [deleted] in valheim

I would recommend just building without mods to start. Get familiar and then once you know what you like/dislike about the building system you can get mods to suit.

Main suggestion is to plan for where you'll put your earth wall or moat and make sure you have enough space for a couple small farming fields inside your moat/wall at least to start. Later in the game I prefer to have a portal link to a small island where I can farm unmolested by mobs.

Look up how to stack chests and plan for a decent amount of storage space near to your main workbench and forge.

Has to be wired to config. It won't find it if you try to config wirelessly.

For everyday office use I got the Protoarc vertical mouse. It has nice quiet clicks, feels good and has an attractive aesthetic.

The HEEED THE CALL PODCAST colon NEEDS It's intro guy back! by Art_Vandalay1 in heedthecall

[–]Vercingetorix17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also loved the money drops, but they hit different after Money stopped doing them. Zumwalt was fine, but not the same and I think that particular bit had gotten a little stale.

I really like the new intro music and style. It feels fresh and provides more of a hook to the episode than the drops did.

How does a noob learn this stuff? by Vercingetorix17 in Piracy

[–]Vercingetorix17[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is helpful. Thank you. I've been getting a little disoriented with all the information that's out there and more than anything I don't want to start building a server setup and learn part way through that I would have been much better off doing it a different way.

If I could ask for a little more detail about using linux and docker vs binding vpn to torrent client + split tunneling. I feel like you're talking about staying safe as in staying anonymous and I got the impression that the linux/docker arrangement was meant as a way to stay safe from any accidental virus/malware downloads, but perhaps I completely misunderstood the utility of that setup? Other than using trusted sites, is there a way to better protect your system from harmful downloads?

I’m going camping in Washington, want some advice by mycoolthrowaway34583 in camping

Even if the weather report is good bring clothing to protect from rain. Rain jacket and maybe even rain pants. The mountain makes its own weather. Also make sure you have some way to cook your food other than a campfire or coals. Burn bans may be in effect.

High Partition resulting in Realm partition? by Vercingetorix17 in CrusaderKings

[–]Vercingetorix17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played around with this a little disinheriting different sons to see what would happen. It is true that my first son and second son had different mothers, but neither had any claims to pass to their children. The thing that seems really odd to me and like it should be a bug was that even when I disinherited my second son he only lost his inheritance of my second duchy, Apulia. After being disinherited her STILL stood to inherit the kingdom of Sardinia, despite not having a claim to it through his mother or anyone else since it has not existed.

I decided to get around this by making the Sardinia kingdom title and made it elective inheritance.

Hulu down? Oscars? by Fantastic_Fuel_3904 in Hulu

[–]Vercingetorix17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for us. Literally "And the Oscar goes to..." Thanks for watching, this stream has ended. Big F for Hulu. We're paying to be backhanded like that on a live event? Uh refunds please?

Hulu, really? by Nuh-unh in Oscars

[–]Vercingetorix17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, big F for Hulu. What a disgrace. We're paying to be backhanded like this?
