This video was very informative, but you don't need to remove the airbox at all. We were able to get the distributor in and out with no problem without removing the airbox. I gave the video a like
what about the timing??.. I dont get what exactly his marking helped line up ??
@@memopadilla5931 hey bro, you see how that distributor connector had a perfect outline of where it plugs in, if the spool rotates and you put it in with the teeth on the wrong sides your timing will be off by 180 degrees so just gotta make sure the lil spool hasn’t rotated
Just did this along with the heater hose replacement and you were spot on. Thanks for the great information. Saved my $150 or more
Greatly appreciate the way you kept it simple, not short on info. Direct and to the point and step by step.
Thanks for posting this - I'm thinking of doing this job tonight - otherwise it costs $78 at the mechanic to take care of this. Word of caution: always disconnect negative from your battery - and please do NOT lay your wrenches on the battery. You'll get a "hit" one of these days and it won't feel good!
I replaced the seal and after about 10 or 15 seconds when oil pressure builds, its starts a drip and then streams out pretty much just like it did before the new o-ring. No visible damage or anything on the pump or in the hole of the head. Mind boggled.
7:58-8:05? How do we check and make sure these are lined up?
Letting us know that the 2 prongs for the distributor were off center helped me get unstuck in putting mine back in. Thanks for the video.
Thnkyou. This was informative enough to get us ready for the same job on our accord tomorrow
Can u plz do a step by step distributor cap and rotor replacement for a old Honda accord
In 2009 i got the o-ring ,for my 93 Accord with the same issue , from my honda dealer 3bucks !!!
At 7:48...you mention that you might have to “re-do the timing.” What does that mean? I’m hesitant to do this because I’m afraid I might mess something up. I appreciate you putting up these videos...I’ve learned a lot watching your videos man. Thanks!
Thanks so much! I wouldn't have tried this without this video. Was tired of the oil all over the engine. Went in almost without a hitch. Thanks again....
+robm good job at searching for a video for sure! :) glad you got it fixed.
Man I lost my car because I didn't see your video I'll know better next time now thank you I had a leak I couldn't find it it was leaking onto the transmission so wouldn't lock up and I couldn't get my smog done which meant I couldn't get my tags I was homeless although I had a business LOL and then I lost my car because I couldn't get the smog done and along with it went mostly everything I had for the fifth time so really thank you that much
Ima work on mines tomorrow, I hope I do a good job, thanks for the video!
Abel Arriaga np! gl!
Say dude, my car had smoke coming out the hood so I opened it and smelled like burning plastic, but I couldn't exactly find what was really burning, than I notice my window didn't roll up my rpm, and temperature on the dash wasn't working even my check engine light went away, but the most weird thing of all my gears stop working so I can't reverse go forward or even put it on nutrual, it turns on and everthing but except those thing it doesn't do so please help what might be wrong with asap!! Thanks
Abel Arriaga Sounds like electrical stuff is getting fried. Check the fuse box under the hood
I checked the fuse box and I didn't see no burning, idk if I got a shortage or a censor might of burned out
Abel Arriaga Something electrical. Check wiring, maybe worn wires that could be shorting out somewhere... something is wrong. Check fuses and relays related to all that stuff that quit working.
Many thanks for the great video. Replacement on a 98 Accord was a walk in the park after watching this!
Did ur spark plugs have oil also
@@Tacostruk not that I know of
Gracias por el video simple y consiso. Me ayudara para hacer el trabajo en un acorde 96..
I have external and internal oil leaks. Replaced the outer O-ring and will be replacing distributor shaft seal tool or the internal oil leak.
I have a leaky distributor.Do you think this could be a reason why I can't accelerate past 3000rpm .it tends to buck until I shift gears?thank you
it was this easy and the mechanic charge me alot....dam i got ripped off.....next time i do it my self....tnx for ur learning video
Hey brother, I have this problem with my accord.. 95.. It doesn't rev past 45-4700 rpms.. ive tried messing with the ignition timing, adjusting it while the car is on with the paper clip trick. Moved it all the way back towards front bumper then revved it same thing.. and moved it back towards the fire wall and revved it same thing... if you know what my issue is it be so much appreciated cause I am stumped and its my only car...
I have a 1994 Honda Accord EX so this very helpful. I'm wondering if your Honda is the same. I was looking for distributor/rotor how to videos, and and my driver side floor is getting wet when raining? Any advice videos is greatly appreciated tank YOU
thanks for the video im about to change mine now and my vetch cylinoid gasket
1997 Honda Accord. How do I confirm that the leak is coming from the o-ring vs. oil pan gasket or somewhere else? I'm losing a fair amount of oil now. Last oil change the shop said they thought it was oil pan gasket but I don't have a lot of confidence in them. I'd like to knock it out myself. Love your videos BTW. Awesome resource!
Brian Collins where did that oil leak end up being from the pan?
Brian Collins so you're the one that has my car I have the same year and the exact same problem I never thought about checking the distributor seal most American cars don't have that as far as I know anyway how did it go with your car I lost mine
if its the Dizzy's O-ring, pool of oil sitting on top of transmission, oil pan gasket leak would be a pool on the driveway.
After changing the distributor car won't start - I've checked everything you have said here and others. It's a 96 model coupe - won't start and the check engine light codes as a distributor issue? Is this normal? and do you have to reset the ecu computer and have it learn the new modification after getting it to run? Any help I can get would be appreciated - currently new distributor slid in only one way as the video says - pretty easy install but no start. Thanks
Great video but I hate working on cars. I actually had to remove this simply to get at the leaking heater core hose right below it.
Thanks for the video. Will be working on this project on the weekend.
Great video, VERY VERY helpful for me!!!!! Thanks much and keep up the great vids!!!!!
One last question. I am thinking of doing this myself. If i mark it with a pen won't i have to redo the timing? Can i paint the timing on the top instead of the side? Will it make a difference?
+Robbi Palacios you redo the timing by moving around the distributor housing till the idle seems normal for you if you forgot to mark it with a pen.
Thanks for posting this video, I have to change my o-ring soon.
Do you have to change the plastic cap on the destributor
Good job
you don't need to pull out the whole Complete air box just the top cover of the air box to access it and pull the hose out the way this guy is making it way more complicated than it really is
+Give A Hoot totally agree....i had it done WAY sooner. However the part where he says to wiggle that SOB back in there was really helpful. I had almost given up on it thinking i had the wrong o ring.
Give A Hoot the air box is only 2 bolts though. on my car it is easier to take the whole thing out than just the top cover.
Give A Hoot so what? Is he on your payroll and you have him on commission or hourly payrate or some shit?
As far I see, he did a great video and you gave a stupid comment.
I marked the distributor pulled it off, did the swap, put it back on in the EXACT same spot. Car won’t start….any ideas?
Did you get your car to start?
For cielo 94.seal 22.5mm or 22.7mm
I like your video. My car have a leakage oil. It came out from distributor. I don't know what is cause. After I see your video . I think the o ring is bad. I don't where I can buy this o ring . Because this car is old 95 Honda.
Auto store carry’s them, dealers, or online, just gotta find the part number and search
So I forgot to mark the distributor and now the car won't start I tried everything any help ?
Thanks for this. I just replaced the radiator and top 2 hoses...Thought I fixed the problem then I turn it on drive it for like 1/4 of a mile and it over heats again. I let it over heat so I can shut the car off and find the hissing noise..The heater hose was definitely leaking coolant and was hard to see under the distributor...So now I can kill 2 birds here with the o-ring and heater hose.
+Nick Wilson yeah those darn heater hose is a pain in the butt...
NutzAboutBolts I didn't have too much trouble with it actually. As soon as I bought the radiator tough and installed it, it was defective! Hey at least we get to ride around in style now, no more 97 civic, went and rented a nice 2015 crysler 200. The car has the coolest gear shift (if you can even call it that) i've ever seen. It's literally a circle knob that you turn.
Nice Job! Do you remember the size of the O-ring you used? does it make a difference in material type (ie rubber, silicone, etc)? thanks
no, we just picked one size that matches the old one. If you need, you can go to the dealership and ask them or bring the old o-ring and try to match it at home depot or harbor freight.
Seal size 22.5mm or 22.6mm
have a 96 also. Managed to break one of the two teeth on the bottom of the distributer that line up inside the top end. Can I replace that part or do I need to buy a new distributer?
Mike Spadone They don't sell that part alone, it's part of the distributor.
it good to fix this before u have to buy a whole new distributer like me....hahahahaha
that paint tip just saved me some headache
The O-ring is standard or metric?
I forgot which way the rotor goesthat spins. My car cranks but dont start. What do i do ??
The distributor should only fit one way.... check the wires are on correctly, making good contact.
I put everything back correctly but the part that spins inside i forgot which way it was when i took it out changing the oil seal
The part inside the distributor is the distributor rotor, it should only fit in one way. Does your vehicle crank?
+NutzAboutBolts in a '96 or later this is true, but earlier models will need to be timed. I know that this issue was likely solved, just wanted to throw it out there for anyone else.
i changed the o ring on my honda and it doesn't whant to start after that do you think the timeing might be moved
+Raul Albiter check the wires
How to tuning the engine Honda Accord 97 model
thanks brother your tutorial from Kang Sas West Java Indonesia
KANG SAS np! glad it helped.
How to the ignition in time?
you dont need to drain oil to remove distributor?
No, but there will be residual oil coming out of it, so make sure to have rags underneath it to catch it.
Does the distributor placement matter for timing like some obd1 cars
You will never find out from this crappy video.
If you have a bad o ring and it's leaking can it cause your car engine to be shaking a little?
Probably. My car had this issue. Oil was getting into the cylinder and it cause a misfire, which in turn can make the car feel shaky.
My top screw broke off block when screwing it on only have two bottom ones on and now it won't start?
Jose Rios 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Excellent video bro
What computer code is this
My Distributor is leaking pretty bad from where it connects to the head. Would you consider this to simply be an O-ring issue? Or may the Distributor be leaking from within and forcing it out of the O-ring? What is your take on it? Thanks!
DIY Beginner change the o-ring, you will need to remove the distributor to inspect the leaks anyway
@@NutzAboutBolts Thanks for the reply. Love the 94-97 Accord Videos!
DIY Beginner thanks! But we don’t have that car any more
@@NutzAboutBolts EH, that's a bummer. Understandable it's an old car.. Not sure how many people are still driving around in this either hahaha
DIY Beginner it’s a dying breed lol
is the distributor on a 96 honda accord the same as one on a 94 honda accord can i swap them
I just checked the part number, they have different part numbers.
what is the reason the timing can be off when the oring is replaced? I have a 1994 accord? Do i have to retime it?
+Robbi Palacios the distributor housing moves, so it can throw the timing off, that's the reason we marked it with a white out pen.
Thank you so much. You are the best!
Do I have to reset the time and if I take the distributor out 97 Honda Accord
Willie Swinson
no need to reset the timing.
How do you take it off when it feels like its stuck?
make sure all of the bolts are removed where they're supposed to, then you can use a flat head screw driver or a pry bar to pry the sides off.
I'm trying to do this on my car but I don't understand the marking the place on the distributor.
+Hewannawanna you want to mark it so when you put the distributor back, it didn't change the timing of the engine.
+NutzAboutBolts. What exactly is it that's being marked?
+Hewannawanna mark the distributor housing and where the distributor is mounted on, so that when you install the distributor housing back, it'll be aligned to the part where it was taken off...
Mi Honda Accord ex 2.2 también tira aceite y el mecánico me iso comprar todo el distribuidor completo.
What kind of camera are you using for this video
5D 2 with 24-70 II lens. why you asked?
need help with my 97 honda accored disterbuter
+Samantha L with what?
Only use OEM o ring, 6 bucks at the Dealer and good for 150k + Miles, Don't cheap out here, Still good Video.
Thanks, man. I appreciate it.
"Be careful, fella, don't blow out your o-ring!"
Guarantee this guy smokes Pot 💨💨
Is the same for the 1999 Accord ?
Tito r it should be the same since its a distributor type ignition instead of the coil packs.
Very helpful,thank you
Orlando Salazar thanks
6:12 for actual distributor work
good video . thanks alot
Zulnoon V np, thanks for watching.
Thanks
My car won't start what did I do wrong? Plz help..
jose ortiz did you knock the coil wire loose? check all of the plug wires...
If it was a '95 or earlier, is it possible that the shaft got placed in 180 degrees off? (I'm not sure if this is how it works, but I heard that if it's a '96 or later you can't do this... was the video made using a '96 or later Accord?)
Awesome vid by the way. I'm a novice so I'm just learning what I can online.
foosheegee oh, we're not sure, our's fit in one way only and its a 96. Try flipping it 180 and see if it works.
my 2000 Honda Accord is leaking antifreeze underneath the distributor cap...so do I change the O Ring...but the O RING replacement is for oil leak coming out of camshaft right...
check the heater hose or the coolant hoses. Its probably leaking from there.
NutzAboutBolts , I changed plugs and distributor. I am certain I did the distributor correctly. if the spark plug wires are mixed up, will the car still crank ? mine isn't doing anything at all now, not turning over but I also think I had a weak starter already...just trying to narrow it down
mixed wires won't start, you probably over crank it and killed the battery...
As u wrote this I just pulled the starter out. The 12v split. I just bought this as a third car, used , so I had already bought a new starter anyway to be prepared. Thanks for replying. And oh I had the battery tested first, its fully charged so I drew my attention to the starter.
TheGhostSamurai
good to know you checked the problems before tackling the next one.
GOD
First move should've been disconnect the battery.
pulling it is easy, the problem is the frickin' electrical connections...
+Gary Lewis ouch
Use a Honda o-ring.....trust me it's worth the 4 bucks to have the correct one.
Roger Lund true.
