I bought my first one, a 2004 with the five speed AWD, without thoroughly looking it over and ended up with a bunch of issues, however I still drove it for about two years. A rotted spot in the rear end where the suspension bolts to the body forced me to stop driving it and look for something else. I got very lucky finding a 2005 in much better shape, also a stick shift AWD, for a decent price. Now I want to turn the 04 into a camper I can tow with the new one. I will point out that I'm also trying to fix the idle surge issue that seems to be a common problem, but aside from that I'm a happy owner of two Elements....
I'm curious...have you been able to diagnose the idle surge issue yet? My '06 has had the same problem for several years. My mechanic always says there's no problem. I've just been living with as I didn't know it was a common issue with the E.
@@CountChocula3660 I'm working on it.
I show it in the video its the TPS and I just used a good Torttle body
This man is an excellent mechanic. Very fast, methodical and efficient...
Wow, thanks
Must be wonderful to have a shop and the tools needed to do the work.
Absolutely, but wasnt cheap over the years either
The cable for hot and cold is on the firewall and gets corroded, easy to loosen up.
Thanks will have to have a peek.
Would this also cause the A/C to work intermittently?
The TB need to be OEM, especially the IACv on em. I made the mistake of swapping in an aftermarket and then also trying to just put on a new IACv. There is also a setting procedure to make sure they set the idle correctly. Great fixup!
Thanks for the info!
It makes me feel great when you guys say thats a no rust car 😂
Guess we’ll depends where you live 😂
@BisforBoost my element is a wheelchair conversion, so the frame has been modified with a new floor and whatnot. The corners of the box are minorly rusting but the frame is still 0 rust.
My question is how would you recommend treating the rust on the box? I was planning on wire wheeling it clean and then I guess treating it with rust converter and then painting over that?thanks rustKings
@@MarkMyWordsXx I would clean it up and por15 it. Better to do it now then have to weld it later.
@@BisforBoost thanks I'm on it.
great video my man! Just covered the trailing arm issues in my latest video. Elements are the best!
I'll check it out!
Idle speed control goes with throttle body..need both.
Yeah I ended up doing a use throttle body
Once you discover that amount of rust, advertise it for parts to get some money back. In Arizona when we see this on inspection we walk away. It's a time and money waster. Done. Rust never sleeps. It just keeps on eating.
Did you figure out why you have no heat? I live in NS as well and have exactly the same problem with mine.
Thought I went over it in the video. Under dash the flapper was seized
That we me beeping Saturday in the ST LOL
Hi 👋
Never buy a car unseen
That isnt fun
Myne turned out to not be the knock censor but the wiring for it
What was the fix? I'm waiting on a new sensor but if is the wiring. I'd appreciate the info.
Have you had any intermittent starting issues on the element?
I’ve gone through several starters ignition switch new battery
Might be the transmission range switch or a bad ground but still trying to figure it out
I haven’t but I would start off at the grounds, more then likely trans side one is broke off
I put a Honda odyssey ground wire there it’s bigger then the stock one brand new I’m almost positive it’s the range safety switch because I can put it in neutral and it will start
Good fix
Thanks
BRExhaust 256-023 is the 15$ dounut flange for that cat
Looks like recall wasn't done on this, are you in Canada? No point in working on this if Honda fails it or the rear trailing arms rip out, which they look like they will.
Honda has passed ones with holes when i have taken it in . So no point.
That rust looks like my 1999 Crv in New Jersey (USA) I bought a year ago. I sware I can hear it rusting away to dust at night. Nice vehicles but disappointed. Yes, I realize I'm complaining about a car that is a Quarter century old.
If there are no mechanical issues I would cry to 😢. I was looking to buy 1 as a 2nd vehicle so I'm watching videos to see what problems they have.
The recall is bs. Mine had massive rust holes around the control arm bolts and they still just put the brace. I sold it before the control arm completely rusted out.
Very interesting 👌
Glad you think so!
bought my first Element in November & $13K later hopefully all is fixed but I do not think so.
Nice what all did you do to it
@@BisforBoost Brakes all 4 struts head gasket rocker arm switch oil pump all Four ignition coils. Oil light is on now. They also just told me I need to have the engine rebuilt so another $7k add to total.
What's that guy your personal mechanic?
I wish, us car people always hang out and work on cars
What engine is in the elements ?
K24a4 I’m swapping to a k24a2
@@BisforBoost is it a direct swap with no mods needed? Just wondering once my engine dies out what my options will be.
How does the seller figure it's not rusty? I would definitely call that rusty.
welcome to the east coast lol
Luckily, my 2007 Sc has had problems but not major ones. Only paid 4K.
a back yard mechanic "lowered" it to the point of being VERY U N S A F E.
It has now been returned to "Normal" so it no longer shakes my bones over
every single tar strip in the road. I'm just LOVING the Toaster because I
haul a lot of stuff including DRUMS. Loads of room and the seats raise
to THE SIDES EASILY .... Looking now for some decent 20" tires to soften the
ride further.
Gkad to hear you enjoy your sc
Not liking the rust under neath
Yeah it isnt that bad, welcome to canada
Rocker solid? 😂
Seems like you should have gotten the car checked out before you purchased it. Looking at the absolutely filthy ignored engine compartment and the interior of the car not to mention the condition of the underbody..... who would have thought this car would have had problems😂
Men suck add buying cars. It doesn't matter that men know a whole lot more about cars than women.... women have enough sense to get things checked out. When men have it set in their mind that they want a certain vehicle they just pull the trigger and deal with the consequences later. Stupid
What would be the fun in getting it check out when I do it for content ? This car lasted 2 years with me driving plus then sold for 5k and is still on the road. Being in a rust belt, the under side isn’t that bad. But if your from a southern climate then I see where your coming from.
