Im having this issue currently and you helped me solve this issue.,very well explained thank you soo much for helping us not just me to find the culprit
Thanx Keith. Still remember ur other Cr-V video with the p0171 when u pinched that vacuum hose and ur trim numbers went down n it could've been that solenoid but it's the diaphragm on the motor mount that went bad. More awesome tips. Thanks brother. Like the orange hose to ur vacuum guage. Gotta upgrade mine. Take care
Great video thanks brother. I like that you take us along and through the process. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother
Wait so all this time, it’s basically a technical tap on the valve of the imrc????? After I literally change the solenoid and check the sensors, make sure it’s running right?
Great diag. Thanks. I have the same Harbor Fright lite. Very limited use, same button problem.90 day warranty, no replacement parts available, price just increased, comes without a charger. Better buy is the Astro Pneumatic with 1 year warranty and charger, and has been in use 1 year longer that the HF light. Just my own experience.
Thanks this is a great video especially showing with the vacuum procedure. Do you have any tips on what to do if the solenoid connector does not show ground on pin 2?
Its getting ridiculous how often im changing these "new" dorman solenoids. For me the most common to fail while new are the dorman vent or purge valves for hondas. Theyre always either sticking open or closed. occasionally ill even get one with a completely open coil. Unbelievable they keep selling these things.
On the Braun light, I thought my button was going bad also, but it was the ground strap inside. You have to unscrew the wand off the top, then unplug it from base. Then you have to remove the power button, just pop out the casing that holds the button with a pick. Then from the inside where you took the wand off, you can use a pick to pull out the half plastic piece opposite the switch if I remember. Then you can remove entire assembly. There will be a small wire that grounds it, that was my problem on mine.
Can someone tell me what the problem was? Was it solely the solenoid that was bad (I assume because it was an aftermarket part from Dorman)? Or was the problem more than just the solenoid? I'm a bit confused 😂
would habe been nice to see a current waveform on a scope. would it look like a shorted injector straight up and down instead of a current ramp? nice video my man
The problem is not Dorman the problem is Humans they think cheap all day long.......... even big companies. Great as always Keith soon 20 000 subs this is one thing that is really cheap but with high-quality New Level Auto teaching and education. When a reporter asks a high CEO in a big company why they started to sell cheap low quality products the answer was it is because the customers want cheap products they don't pay for quality anymore.
KEITH TELL IT LIKE IT IS , IF IT'S A FAILED PART THEN IT'S A FAILED PART..., SO WHAT YOU DON'T SUPPOSED TO SAY IT'S A FAILED PART . I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT BUT WHATEVER GREAT VIDEO AS USUAL THANKS KEITH !
Thank you so much for posting this video. I feel like I have a better understanding because of it. Quick question if you don't mind, I've got a 2005 CRV and I'm getting a P1078 code for a IMT Valve stuck long. Is this the same part as in the video just malfunctioning differently or is it something completely different all together? The car itself shifts hard from 1st to 2nd but all the other shifts are smooth as silk. Is this code P1078 related to this? Would you mind giving my your opinion on this?
HEY! I just figured Mine out! some asshole put the valve in upside down during a previous repair!!! Easy to do I suppose, the only tell was that the connector release tab was facing downward!! what a pain in the ass
But the guy on the internet forum said it was the breather Keith...🤪🤮 Factory parts...pffft... Good video man, okay...I really gotta stop watching your videos for now...as it is time for this guy to get ready for work...thanks for the tip on these👍...have a good day man.
That hose at the bottom I forgot to connect. Such a pain it's so short. I'll see if I can lengthen the hose. Thanks
Im having this issue currently and you helped me solve this issue.,very well explained thank you soo much for helping us not just me to find the culprit
Haha I thought of the 'D' word as soon as you said stuck solenoid 😅
Dorman is the leader in making parts changers chase their tales 😂

Great video thanks brother. I like that you take us along and through the process. Keep up the great work see you in the next video thanks again brother
So what happens if that imrc solenoid mines 03 crv same engine gets stuck?
Dorkman, keeping the aftermarket industry busy with comebacks since 1918.
Great job as always sir..you are a working machine...
Diagnostics is so easy over there! Just find the Dorman parts🤣
Great video/info Keith! Working late again?
I think that is what Keith doing all the time. Checking for "D" letter first then start troubleshooting 😂
@@mansouralblooshi3004 🤣🤣
😭😭😭😭 I used dorman and i have same problem 😅 😂😂😂
Yeah Keith, just like Ivan says, buy OEM parts. Unless of course you disassemble the old part and try and repair it yourself. 😏
Wait so all this time, it’s basically a technical tap on the valve of the imrc????? After I literally change the solenoid and check the sensors, make sure it’s running right?
Thank you Keith. Good job. And as usual, I appreciate your videos. Good night my friend.

Stretch the spring inside. The battery gets loose.
I struggle to find lines and tips for my vacuum gauge. What do you’ve there?
Mityvac sells at Harbor Freight for about 22 dollars . Comes as a full kit with about 12 adapters
Wow, If it wasn't for this video i never would have checked the solenoid again! I bought it aftermarket and now i regret it! Thanks for the upload!!
My pleasure bud. Good luck 👍
Dorman hits again! nice video Keith
Well there you go. The flying wings at it again. Great demonstration Keith.
Wallet with wings... That's good. :-) (Laugh or Cry)
if you have to go aftermarket for solenoids and sensors what brand do you trust? I have had mixed results with them all.
Thanks this is a great video especially showing with the vacuum procedure. Do you have any tips on what to do if the solenoid connector does not show ground on pin 2?
the question of the year is that did it pass the quality control after build and stamp it along with life time warranty??
I'm not good with cars can someone explain this fix and what I should buy in english?
My light does that. I changed the battery and it worked. They're just plain 18650 cells.
Haha Keith you know Dorman parts are very reliable...reliable at sticking in the wrong position lol!

Dear friend I have question about the small scope u have from where you order it please let me know and u have great day
Can someone tell me what the problem was?
Was it solely the solenoid that was bad (I assume because it was an aftermarket part from Dorman)?
Or was the problem more than just the solenoid?
I'm a bit confused 😂
Damn good diagnosis and good procedure
good work on the project. I have the same problem and has been driving me nuts....
What would stuck long be?
HA! I called that before you even showed the Dorman symbol! 🤣
How the hell does that company stay in business??? 🤯
As always, EXCELLENT info! 👍👍
About how much does this cost to fix?
Dorman, they should only make freeze-out plugs.
A little off topic, but is it normal for a mustang to have an idle surge with the AC on? & then it go away when the AC is Off?
Definitely normal
New Level Auto ok Cool.
So is the solenoid ? That is bad I have the same problem...
I just watched another video and it stated the p1077 code is for the other flat imrc solenoid.
would habe been nice to see a current waveform on a scope. would it look like a shorted injector straight up and down instead of a current ramp? nice video my man
I have the same code after a starter replacement. What is the part number of that solenoid?
36163-PND-A01
Would a intake Manafold Runner cause it not to start?I got the code the. The next day it wouldn’t start up.Thanks yall
No it would not

Make sure your battery cap on the light is tight.
Nice job Keith, keep up the great videos!
Great job again like always
Flying angel wings!!! Job security 😂

Like the rest of the comments, I also have that light that flickers! Maybe that will be my next video! Diagnosing the harbor freight Braun light haha
Stretch the spring

Yep, the problem is Dorman parts.
Wings for the win.
That wouldn't be Dorman would it? \
It's becoming a four letter word I'd be safe to say. 😉
Thanks for the video.

HEY! I just figured Mine out! some asshole put the valve in upside down during a previous repair!!! Easy to do I suppose, the only tell was that the connector release tab was facing downward!! what a pain in the ass
