In this episode of Fixing it Forward I wrap up the majority of the mechanical work on the 2005 Honda Odyssey. The work in this episode includes: I finally turn off the check engine light, clean the AC condenser, mount and balance 4 new tires, remount the front bumper skin, replace the rear lower control arms, cam bolts, and coil springs, replace the PCV valve, install the new air intake tube, install a new catalytic converter, and it gets new wiper blades.
That work pretty much wraps up the mechanical work I had planned for this van. In the next episode I plan to turn my attention to the body and interior. Once that’s done, it’s time to give this van away to someone in need.

Had the valves on my 04 Odyssey reset at 104,000 miles. Gained 1.0 miles per gallon and a bunch more throttle response. Runs like new!
your work is great……..your beard????????
Diam bro you inspire me to be a mechanic, freal
what is fixing it forward meant?
Hi Eric. It is Christmas Eve 2021 and I cant sleep and I am binge watching the fix it forward. Way to go!!! I am a Computer Engineer and must say your debugging of the two O2 sensors was perfect example of the type if debugging we do too…but on code and network hardware.
I do have a question. Do you have any videos on EVs or hybrids? We have a Volt and a Leaf. Btw Merry Christmas!
Everything was going well until that engine treatment! Not going to skip ahead through the playlist because I don’t want to cheat. I predict it did not end well! Very risky! That’s just like trying to do the right thing and flush and fill a 150,000 mile transmission that is never received one in its lifetime. Typically, a good quality full synthetic motor oil will slowly break that sludge down over time and not put chunks of it into the oil pan where it could potentially clog the pick up tube
There a issue about catalytic honda, all time when the weather change hot to cold or raining the check engine comes ON, just reset the check engine and drive until next spring season!!!
When that socket fell off putting the air filter box back together, is exactly what makes me want all locking extentions. I have a couple, but at times I feel like I should just buy all locking.
Bad o2 sensors hits hard… One time i ordered a $20 or so o2 sensor on ebay and it came with the connector that comes from the car on the sensor lol. I soldered the right end on from the old sensor but it still didnt work. But then another time i ordered a cheapo $15 pcv valve off ebay, and they sent me an in box denso one… it was like winning the lottery
I have this van.
I have to do the rear camber adjuster bolts and lower arms on my 2008 Acura RDX. You just opened up my world Eric. I have been trying to justify that Milwaukee till now. Thank you for posting
The amount of maintenance your doing is gonna make this think feel like a brand new one
Never occurred to me to try OEM wipers
screw drop all for an air filter?? I don't like you much lol
Valve adjustment is very important on that engine. The valves never make noise when they need to be adjusted. The valve clearance gets TIGHT as the valves wear, not loose. With a cold engine, put a vacuum gauge on the engine and start it. If vacuum is low, (13-14 in.hg) and increases (to 18 in.hg as an example) as the engine warms up , it needs a valve adjustment.
Can I get you to do my 06 Honda? Rear Suspension, door rollers, front bumper clips, and figure out what is making that noise when I make a hard left turn and a parasitic power drain.
🤣🤣🤣wait did you just say Armoured side walls? Yo that’s some serious Honda
Eric has the most likable face
Eric wheres the next video 😂
Wrenching , before-after..like it
Can you make a video explaining how gears work and why you must use the clutch? Unless you've already made a video on it then in that case can you send a link?
Hi Eric, I have a 2016 Nissan Versa. The car idles ok, but it will sometimes stall at stop or stall when I put the car in gear. There's no check engine light that comes on. When it stalls, I restart the car, put in gear. As the car wants to die, I'll put 1 foot on the brake and the other on gas and slightly rev up the car. That seems to remedy the car for a while. Again, the car idles ok, no check engine light on and the car stalls when I come to a stop. What can be the cause?
hi Eric
i want to translate your videos to my language which is Kurdish and not provided on Youtube or Internet, my Goal is to help a lot of people who don't speak EN…. i want to do it with my own voice , i could not reach your site, maybe not supported in Iraqi Kurdistan. i'm waiting for your answer. i want your permission.
Great vid !
My side spacers aren't broken but they don't hold the bumper, would it be the bumper itself or should I go ahead and replace them?
hey Etcg, I have an 06 accord 2.4 and im experience a strange noise from what sounds like my front drivers side wheel… the sound is only present when i press on the accelerator. and really is only audible once you get up to 50 mph. and just gets louder from there, but say im going like 75mph and let off the gas the sound vanishes. i dont have any play on any of the wheels. my first instinct was a tire out of balance, so i had them balanced and rotated with the newer set of tires going to the back( 3 months old) this actually made it louder. the sound isnt a steadily increasing roar like what ive had bad bearing sound like. instead its more like a helicopterish whoom whoom whoom whoom… in general the car feels kind of floaty suspension wise almost like its a windy day. suspension stuff is prob my weakest area of troubleshooting… im guessing im prob due for sway bar bushings all around ( i have 180k miles and i bought it at 32k mostly highway miles) but i dont think thats my main issue. Id appreciate any input you or anyone else might have before i throw parts at it or worse take it in somewhere
Thanks for this. You have an attention to detail that I like. Thanks again brother..
Have a Honda ridgeline with code PO172, PO 300, PO 301, PO 302, PO 303, PO 304, PO 305 and PO 306 what you think it could be?
I have an 08 Odyssey; I don't like how small the oil filter is for this van but I didn't engineer the engine; I REALLY don't like that the oil drains over the suspension member. Also my PCV is on the top of the engine though I also have VCM on mine. I keep these videos for if/when i need to do work on my Odyssey, they'll be a handy guide at the very least.
