- We got some parts for the Civic:
2 new Denso Oxygen sensors, and an OEM Honda Camshaft Position Sensor.
Let's install the parts and go on a FULL-THROTTLE test drive up the mountain to see how the little Civic behaves.
Hopefully no more "Comebacks" haha :)

It was poor customer service from the stealership the first time. I guess this is step two in the customer service playbook. Great work as always Ivan
Stealer pissed cause they miss out on that civic head job. $$$$
@@Dirtyharry70585 I'm pretty sure they wouldn't want to touch this worn out Civic lol
A dealership living up to its reputation, who'd of thunk it? Good think Ivan called them out, now all his viewers know never to do business with that particular dealer.
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics Ya know, now that you have repaired the car, it can go on serving its purpose and the owner can keep his money in his pocket. You have the satisfaction being a part of this.
That's so petty of the stealership! If they don't want bad publicity, they should do the decent thing and treat their customers right!
The dealer should have thanked you for still relying on them even though there was a disagreement in the past.
Dealer worries about bad news reaching the corporate MFG office. Everything is about sales and not getting called out !
@@alangaudry724 100%! When I had problem after problem with my '07 Silverado when it was brand new, the dealer made several screwups - one was smashing my truck up from bumper-to-bumper on the passenger side! When I got a survey from GM, I was honest. I got an ANGRY phone call from the owner of the dealership! I said, "Hey, I was just being honest!" She says, "You should've called us first!" WHY? I'm not going to lie on the survey, even if you bribe me!
I have a friend who works on Harley Davidsons. The local HD dealer will no longer sell him parts. The work around is he tells the customer or someone else to purchase the parts. He has cut into the local HD repair business. Congratulations for joining the club
and they need alot of parts..
For your info I live in Florida, all the older folks don't change their oil anymore, the younger folks don't do any maintenance or don't know what a wrench is, He said he never thought the day would come that you can make a living changing oil on motorcycles. P.S thank you for the entertainment of repairing vehicles, Better than what woke Hollywood puts out.
@@alangaudry724 bunch of brain dead sheeple... planned idiocy.
Hahah! The Honda dealer is just mad because they can’t have you as a tech for them. You know the techs there watch and learn from your videos. Very cool before and after cam waveforms and another great video!
I would hope dealer techs don't rely on TH-cam videos to get their work done, good techs go through exhaustive education and training.
@@rusack7174 like doing business at the bar with the boss when requested. otherwise in the information age its gonna be hard to beat youtube.
google is your friend
They wouldn't want Ivan as a tech. He'd diagnose a bad ground when they could've made thousands shooting the parts cannon.
@@WastedTalent- Agreed. Ivan is WWAAAAAYYY too honest to work for a dealership. He also wouldn't make any money due to overhead at the stealership; they catch the customer at the cash window and the tech makes very little of that astronomical bill they would charge.
coolant burning off in the exhaust, prior to head gasket repair, will usually foul the 02 sensor. Crystals block the pump. To later rear their head. Good work Ivan.
That stealership incident is unfortunate, but sadly not unique. I had issues with one many years ago and I'm not a shop. I thought I'd never step foot in it again. The stealership closed about a year or two later. Today the building is a harbor freight. So I stepped foot in it again but as a different entity. I got to say it did bring a smile to my face.
Seems like the Honda dealership passed on a good opportunity to step up their warranty coverage and receive some positive TH-cam dealership PR. They turned a possible positive into a negative.
And so often it tends to be a particular individual who causes this. Customer service is so important, sometimes having to swallow a little for the greater long term benefit.
@@rusack7174 We had this problem with one of our vendors - we fired them last week. That's what bad service deserves, the door.
I went through 2 new Denso bank one sensor one o2 sensors after replacing a stolen cat. Both sensors lasted less than 2 days. I took it back to the mechanic 5 separate times because he refused to believe both sensors might be bad (when I asked him if he tested them, he said no) to the point where he replaced the engine pipe gasket (which had no leak) before he finally relented and got one from Honda. 3 weeks and counting on an o.e. Honda sensor, which he charged me an extra 100 bucks for, even though he charged me $150.00 for the Denso, which I wouldn't have minded except that the attitude of some mechanics is that the customer's wasted time is just time, but their wasted time is money.
Amazing that it all happened at once while you had it. In that regard the customer is rather fortunate. Thanks Ivan!
Good job! Except for the local Honda dealership whining and blocking your account.
Parts and Service Managers are some of the worst people to deal with. They have zero accountability with the manufacturer since the dealership is a franchise. But this is a first one saying they don't want your money! Thank you for sticking up for your customer unfortunately dealerships take advantage of too many people!
Sounds like some horrible management at that Honda dealership. Maybe a call to corporate is needed to check if they believe this is acceptable behavior?
I agree.
I agree Ivan always says to buy oem sensors (which helps dealers)
If a bakery can refuse to sell a wedding cake to a couple, I don't see the problem with a dealership refusing to sell parts to DIYer. Although, whenever I need any genuine parts for any of my cars I have yet to encounter a dealer that wouldn't sell me the parts.
@@upallnight888 - Ivan isn’t a DIYer. He is buying the parts under his business name, which the dealership flagged.
@@upallnight888 If you do find a dealer refusing to sell you the parts you need you may well then understand the problem
I remember the battery issue. I can see the dealership's point of view in that particular case. Honda wasn't going to reimburse the cost of the battery, so it would have been the dealership buying a battery for a non-customer. But, to block Ivan's B2B sales is soooo childish!! Really sad to hear.
Seriously. Is that the way to react to criticism? Like a 5 year old throwing a tantrum? Maybe they should not be in the customer service business if they can't take feedback & criticism.... Would make great local news story.
I think there's a misunderstanding. I understand everyone hates dealerships, I get it. I agree the way they handled Ivan is completely childish and unprofessional. It's a business to business sales account. There shouldn't be any butt-hurt emotions involved. It's a business. Period.
However, none of you understand the warranty process a dealership goes through. Manufacturers look for any excuse to deny claims. That's a fact! The manufacturer would not have reimbursed the dealership for the battery. The customer was a customer of Ivan's, Period. If I remember correctly, and correct me if I'm wrong, the customer had no relationship with the dealership, he didn't even show up with the car. A repair order requires a VIN, mileage, owner's current address and contact information. Then a tech has to perform a battery test with a factory approved special tester, that may even connect to the internet with all the data directly to Honda. That didn't happen. The claim would have denied. So, I ask you, would you buy a stranger, that you will never see again, a battery?
I can see your good work with the Honda, and the explicit necessity to use OEM parts, which the local Honda dealership should proudly supply, all be it at some expense. A dealership that 'blocks' sales to you on account of an unrelated issue that you have exposed (through your business of diagnosis) needs to forget it, but I do think that they are actually watching your presentations with a trace of envy...
If I was that dealership I’d be wanting to get on your good side Ivan, But I guess they’re not smart enough for that ,Great video
Honda sales have tanked in Australia since they introduced 'fixed' price sales and heavily boned their dealer network. Rumour has it they may even do a GM and leave the building entirely. The ex Honda dealer down the road is now a Jeep dealer. Shame, Honda were top kit back in the day with good service. As for the stealership, they just can't handle the truth. Regard being cancelled a badge of honour Ivan.🤣
G'day from Adelaide, SA. For some years, 'Dave Potter Honda' traded in a medium sized (large for Adelaide) showroom, and much advertising was done on radio and TV. A year (or two) ago it simply disappeared, and the premises houses 'Glenelg BMW', selling equivalent vehicles, in competition with 'Eblen Subaru' in a similar premises across the road... I don't know exactly why the Honda dealership disappeared, and whether it was to do with 'Dave Potter' retiring (or passed on), or a directive from Honda Japan with their sales strategy (through on-line ordering on choice of colors, sedan (saloon) or wagon variant) changing, or a rent arrangement of the premises... They did sell spare parts (stocked for maintenance), but it seems a local, readily available supply has disappeared...
I would out that stealership, bring their scummy acts to light so others can avoid them.
Its probably Bobby Rhahl , 5 star reviews dont reflect their poor attitude....
There's only one Honda dealership in State College PA - Bobby R - so even if Ivan never mentions the name, we all know who the scumbag is.
Good to know,muchas gracias son cabrones
@@DaddyBeanDaddyBean didn't know that, I have four within 15 miles of me
@@papagator7007 Wouldn't be hard to find out.
If there was another convenient dealer Ivan just would have gone there.
How dare u block the Great Ivan. Honda dealership..u sir are BLOCKED!!
Ivan, it's too bad the dealership is not celebrating the longevity of this car along with you, the customer and the rest of us. Just a few parts and it looks and sounds like that car is going to be running for a long time. Congratulations on a great job. Now I'm going to go look at those Pico waveforms you so generously made available! Thanks for Sharing!
Love your comments. Couldn't agree more. Well done, again.
I dislike dealerships for so many reason's and this Honda dealer just reaffirms everything I have experienced over the years. With today's internet and the fast shipping you are not missing anything by not darkening their doorway. Keep up the great videos.
Ha ha, "NO SOUP FOR YOU!"
Customer Service is as important as the product!
Shame on that Honda Dealership!
Childlike behavior from the Honda dealership, instead of using feedback to improve and learn they throw a hissy fit.
A situation like this at my shop we would eat the labor and ask customer to pay for parts as it wasn't an issue related to the original diagnosis or work done
Great Fix Ivan, Maan that's a petty honda parts dealership..
You should name that dealership and your viewers should mount a call-in campaign.
Couldn’t agree more. That’s pretty low of them.
We got blocked by a Mini Dealership after they failed to successfully perform a warranty repair. They sent us a request for a review and we answered honestly. They didn’t appreciate our criticism, and refused to give us anymore appointments.
Recently working on a Toyota Avalon 3.5l, had a code P158 for B2S2 O2 sensor for voltage too high. Initially just replaced the downstream sensor and code came back. Turns out with Toyotas that code will also set if the ECM is not happy the upstream data, even though it looked to be switching fine on scan data. Replacing the upstream sensor resolved the issue with the downstream code. I did notice however, the new sensor was switching a bit faster. So may have looked OK on the graph but was still too lazy for what the ECM wanted.
Your customers are lucky to have you fix their cars. I hope you charged them for the diagnoses and repairs of the NEW issues. They should be happy you have the expertise to locate and repair their trouble. I enjoy your video's.
To shut you down is proof that they don't want to be part of the solution. Poor business attitude.Top tech annoys them. Keep on !
Well done again Ivan.....Keep on doing the magic young man, you make it look easy.
great vid as always.. the coolant on the o2 sensors from the head gasket leak more than likely caused the problem..i used to do a lot of ford 3.8 head gaskets back in my ford dealership days and we always replaced the o2 sensors after the head gasket repair ..great job !!
Prevention or did you see them fail?
@@petrnemecek4379 over time more failed then not and caused a come back so we explained the benefit of doing o2 after head gasket repair
Ford should have packaged 02 sensors in the head kit. I'm sure those 3.8s put many a meal on your table. Whenever there is a head gasket leak involving the combustion chamber in any motor, always replace 02 sensors, they never work right after contamination no matter how much.
very likely due to silicone contamination. coolant additives and sealants commonly used build up and linger in the system and silicones are 100% guaranteed O2 death.
which is also why you should avoid silicone containing products in anything fuel system related, as well as other engine parts which seal oils.(pcv system sucks them through)
Dealers can take parts a way from you but they can not take the nockledge and experience a way. Keep on goin IVan
Being cancelled by a Honda dealer just proves we are now living in a clown world. Remember not to argue with your local Honda dealer folks. That dealer has totally shot themselves in the foot here.
I have great rapport with our Honda dealers, not that I need to visit them often at all. Now that does not apply to a certain RV dealer and their service department, one individual in particular. Looked that dude up on social media and it seems as though he can't hold a job long term.... after our experience I can't imagine why?
He is not being cancelled
@@jerrygundrum1 That's what someone who supports cancel culture would say.
Hi Ivan, that dealership customer service just prooved again their "level of professionalism" . Not even sure that is legal to block the account.And you can easily get around it anyway.That person who blocked your account just did it for his own EGO that lives in a little unstable personality of himself🤣.
Should file a discrimination complaint that they did it because you are Russian....
Legal ? Doesn't factor in. While I don't agree with the dealer's tactic, they don't have to sell to him or anyone that they don't want to sell to.
Why consumer protection exist then my friend?
@@sergeis4844 Irrelevant and not applicable. A private business can refuse to sell to people if they choose not to. It's quite common and legal. There are many HVAC supply supply shops that only sell to people with an HVAC license or electrical supply houses that only sell to licensed electricians. There is no law that protects them either - it's their policy and nothing else.
@@HallStevenson Yup, it's a free country. People really don't seem to understand that. It's just like "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service."
Consumer protection would cover the warranty claim. Which is why they aren't going to sell to Ivan, they don't intend to ever honor one.
Ivan you are good people. God bless America
The fact they are getting google reviews for this is awesome 😎👍
Bobby Rahal Honda enjoy your reviews !!
Thank you Ivan. Good job. Meanwhile, back at the Honda Dealer. (Service Manager) "This Ivan guy sure knows his stuff. I'm going to subscribe and like and take notes."
Obviously the right way for the stealership to deal with a problem, unreasonable, repeat customer like you is to erase your account. What a joke! It’s like dealing with teenagers. Instead of being reasonable and doing what is morally right, they cancel your account. That’s another crystal clear example of how a business doesn’t care one iota about their customers. You know, the people that pay their bills. I feel for you Ivan. I’d take this as a personal mission to make the dealership do the right thing.
i've been on both sides of the parts counter at a dealership. warrantee is a tricky thing but to block your account is a whole new level of stupid over that. if your check bounces is one thing. but an honest warrantee inquiry is another.
I am speechless regarding HONDA. At least your customer is happy and future Honda owners knocking at your door.. That is the respect you earned at your workmanship.. If I lived within a 12 hour drive, I would give you my business.. 🏁👍
Thanks George 🙂
Broke down on side of road our water pump gave way. We quickly noticed Honda dealership across the street. Went and asked for service and they gave us a hefty quote. We still were ready to bite the bullet as I didnt bring much tools with me. Then they said we'd have to wait 2 weeks for the because a tiny tensioner spring was on backorder for timing belt.
We offered to void all warranty and would sign off on it if they could just re-use the spring.
Granted nothing was wrong with the timing aspect only water pump.
They refused and pretty much were ok with leaving us stranded.
So my wife and I pushed it to a home Depot parking lot and I bought/ rented all necessary tools to do the job myself.
Ended up a day down on our trip but saved over 1000.00.
Unbelievable !!
Bobby Rahal Honda Of State College need to be told to make things right with PHAD.
When I saw Bobby Rahal Honda, I thought, NO IT CAN'T be. Bobby Rahal is a famous race car driver. I was a big fan of his back in the day. I Googled his name and, sure enough, he owns Rahal Automotive Group in Pennsylvania that this dealership is a part of. I think we need to phone Bobby and tell him about the poor customer service and refer him to Ivan's Channel.
Good Fix Ivan! Age and miles equals time for new oem parts.
I thought Hondadadada folks were so nice! Great videos man, keep up the good work.
Proverb for the Honda dealership- "When you find yourself in a deep hole- STOP DIGGING!"
That has got to suck. You do a big job like a head gasket and the customer calls you within a short time to say that their car is running poorly and the money light is on.
I feel like your documentation of these jobs online would be helpful to show people that you did everything possible to find out what was wrong, and fix their issue, and prove that at the time of delivery the car/truck was happy. No codes, no drivability issues.
Cameras keep people honest. That's why they are never allowed during car maintenance or surgery.
It goes with the territory. That's why I never offer to fix people's PC's even family members. From that point on, I become responsible for anything that goes wrong with them, even a year or two later.
@@_RiseAgainst That's why the police unions fought long and hard to not allow body cameras to be worn by their members.
Well done. Good customer care on your part!
Keep up the great videos
Good work Ivan, Brave man to do a head gasket at such high mileage. Lucky you did not get "it was not like that before" "ran like a watch before you worked on it" from your customer. As always another great video. P.S viewers should "blacklist" the Honda dealer! But it should be good to know they are watching your videos!!!
Hi Ivan, at 2:13 you show the two sensors, the old one looks shorter than the new one.
(Different part number too.)
If so, then the old pickup would not be getting the full influence of the timing teeth on the camshaft because it would be short.
This would explain the rounded pulses.
You new one, the proper one by the looks of it, being longer picks up a stronger magnetic signal from the teeth due to it being much closer, hence a proper square output signal.
Are you saying longer is matter? Good eyes...lol maybe the O2 sensor doesn't need to replace. I didn't see the DTC for O2 sensor.
Dont be so hard on yourself. I sometimes forget that if your doing a head gasket job, there is always the possibility of damage to the oxygen sensors, rare but i have experienced that. That was a great diag.
Indeed the oxygen sensor probably were contaminated with burned coolant before the repair
Time to start calling in under 'Line Follow Auto Diagnostics'
A car approaching 300K: anything could go at any time. The Honda guys got their feelings hurt ... by a customer. Geez.
As Scotty has done before, call Honda corporate and tell them what happened, they are less petty. If not, put on a fishing hat and waiters, then go create a new account under Rusty Shackleford.
Waiters, or do you mean waders?
@@Cheepchipsable I'm sure you keep your 3rd grade spelling bee trophy proudly displayed.
@@Cheepchipsable On first glance, I couldn't figure out what serving food would have to do with a fishing hat, however I do like the idea of registering an account under an assumed name.
Great job on your part and a dirty move on the dealership. In this day and age of social media, the last thing you want is bad publicity especially when you are in the auto sales business. One Honda dealership is just as good as another especially when one of them pulls a fast one and gets caught. Keep these wonderful instructional videos coming.
Shame on Honda. Messing with somebody's business because they have poor ethics.
During the Takata airbag fiasco, Honda initially didn’t have enough replacement parts available. So Honda corporate covered a car rental for me for over three months, even though my car was long out of warranty. I was impressed, and will be a a Honda customer for life.
Never heard of anyone around here getting that kind of red carpet treatment... my Takata equipped Honda was driven by my teenage daughter for years before the airbag part was available...no free rental car. You must buy a lot of new cars from them like my brother in law...he trades-in/buys a new car every year and so he's on a first name basis with every dealership in town. He claims it's his hobby, lol, about the most expensive hobby one could have outside of starting up your own racing team.
In my experience, its hard or next to impossible to find a reliable honest fair technician especially in the current world we live in.
Dealership and some independents;
Charges way too much for mediocre work
Mechanics are rushing to complete the job so they can get to the next one
My vehicle is/was dent free before servicing. Now theirs a ding on the right front fender yeah I will try to prove that ):
Hi Ivan, that Dealership customer service guy just proved that they need more training. They should have just tested the battery if it was good, then they would have to test the car charging system to know which item had the problem. Instead, they just came up with a bunch of reasons why to decline the warranty. On the other hand, once you threatened them with bad PR on TH-cam the Gloves were on!! The loser in this match was the Dealership, the customer service guy not knowing how to handle the problem in simple terms made the Dealership look Bad and you still can get your parts!
I’m just a DIYer watching video’s trying to learn from guys who know their stuff. May have shoot the parts canon a little quick on the Battey because I don’t think we checked the charging system first. Just my thoughts, learn a lot from your video’s keep them coming!!
Another great video! Amazing Honda dealer makes things worse for themselves! Anybody watching will figure out how not to do business with them.! Appreciate the work you do. Have a great one!
Never let that stinking stealership off the hook, Ivan. Great job. As always. Thanks.
Our family has purchased 11 Honda vehicles these last 14 years my son and two daughters family plus my wife and I recently purchased Toyota’s. We got tired of the Honda run around and expensive cost of required service and their warranty coverages. Shopping at Toyota was easy, quick, courteous and the vehicles ride and drive much quieter and comfortable.
I have to agree with the majority here and think that it may be time to get Honda corporate PR involved here. Because that is just bad business practice from your local dealer. Now back to the Civic at hand. I have found that it's best to always replace the O2 sensors when a leaking head gasket is involved. Something about how O2 sensors don't react well when they come in contact with antifreeze. Antifreeze in the exhaust can literally foul the O2 sensors out, making them respond slowly, or not respond at all.
Don’t be discouraged… these dealerships fear u and that’s why they have to stoop to these levels.
What the cancel culture doesn't realize is that it's canceling a relationship whether they agree with it or, not. It limits them also.
I usually order my genuine Honda parts from Jim White Honda in northwest Ohio for delivery in Indiana. Shipping does take a few days.
I think Honda makes a great product but black ⚫️ balling you is very poor customer relations. My 1.5 year old Tundra mysteriously has a cracked windshield. It is cracked where the wipers rest. I went to Brantford Toyota and no hassle at all...they covered my windshield under warranty. They are an awesome dealer to do business with. Great repair on this Honda BTW.
280 thousand miles on a Honda has gotta be some sort of a record considering they were built for the Japanese market and what we know about the Japanese market is at a 100k they scrap the car because they are considered not efficient enough to fit in the emission guidelines. I think they got their monies worth. Great fix
I really miss my 89 Oldsmobile Calais international HO Quad four 34 MPG way back then
Such a great engine to work on
Ivan, I don't know you but I do watch your videos. I have referred people to you and it's refreshing to see how honest you are and how you stick up for your customers. This makes Bobby Rahal look very bad and I wonder if the company leadership is aware of this situation.
Honda Dealer....to the woodchipper you go!
Great outcome, Ivan! I was worried that the rounded leading edge on the CPS could be caused by electronics (low slew rate), but it seems it is so by design and the new sensor is way better. Another weird case sorted out perfectly :-)
PS: Really nasty attitude by Honda dealership (wonder if that's company policy or just a local petty manager).
As always, thanks for your videos. And thanks for telling the truth about the dealer. This (and the other video) cured from ever buying a Honda in my lifetime. As a mechanic myself, I’ll pass the word to all of my contacts as well. As I always say: vote with your dollars….
"leaking some oil...oh whatever"... Very professional
You can't fight city hall or a Honda dealership. They hold all the marbles.
Honda Dealer ship id afraid of you. They are not capible of doing their job sufficiently and your are bringing shame on them by doing your job sufficently and cleverly. Good work bro.
The customer is happy. We're all happy. Next Staten Island repair job coming up. Keep the spanners at the ready !!
When Ivan said he was 'blocked' by a car dealership, I had to check to make sure it wasn't April 1.
When vehicles get to be that old, with over a quarter million miles on them, they get to the 'frequently fix' category. Like Scotty says, everything eventually breaks.
Ivan has me wondering what the inside of those sensors looks like, and why do they fail. Little insulated wires that short out? Solid state electronic stuff that burns out? What? You would probably have to melt the plastic to discover what is hidden inside. The guts probably cost $3 to make.
HI IVAN, thank's for going to bat for your customer.IN some respects he was actually Honda's customer too.Sour grapes all around,Corporate would most likely have a different view,as EVERY CUSTOMER TURNED AWAY affects THEIR bottom line as well.More likely it's just the person you had the DISCUSSION with is only the one pissed at you,but they must have some pull there.And yes,the cancel culture and Karen's are allover, not just in California,haha Welcome to the USA.Now go home.Actually IVAN Calif is losing people ,we are feed-up with politicians and bad rules.I myself feel like a cow being milked ,so excuse me if i kick the milk bucket over,my TEAT'S are really sore.Keep up being who you are,your vids are so useful to mech's who want to up their game and learn.
Had an issue with a dealership back in the 80's, The car was great but the Dealership was absolutely horrid. Told the Dealer that was twice I had purchased a Honda (First and last ). I have gone to Toyota and never looked back , great cars and I have been fortunate to have two Steller dealerships I have dealt with.
"Why can't people just talk out their problems"? That's a multi-billion dollar question, Ivan. There would be less divorces and wars if people did just that and it would be a much better world! Lets give Putin a call. Ha ha
"Go woke...go broke"
You mentioned oil leak with the timing belt set should come the oil pump o ring they get brittle and drip most blows off and burns on the exhaust some drops down and looks like the pan gasket great job
The dealership would rather try to punish you than make money! I wonder if the owners of the dealership know what's going on, and if they approve?
Wow sometimes if it wasn't for bad luck you wouldn't have any. When it rains it pours. You have a lot of coping skills tenacity.
Great video Ivan I just fired up my rusty 97 civic hx sitting for 1 half years started up ran smooth I was a little surprised.
Would an adaptive memory reset help stabilize those short term trims? Another interesting video Ivan. Thanks for the content!
There are some dealerships in my state that are unfriendly to the aftermarket(like jaguar, Austin Martin, Alfa, Bentley, and others). A group of mechanics and myself have found some awesome dealers out of state we all use. I wouldn’t be surprised if the in state dealers have lost millions in parts sales. We haven’t been using the local dealers in over a decade.
Well done !
I really love you brother you are a good teacher who explain things to the very details I have learned a lot from you even though I am 62 now couldn't work but still scanning cars for other mechanics thank you very much MAY GOD OUR FATHER BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AMEN AND AMEN HALLELUJAH....
If the cam sensor is a three-wire job, it probably has an active pull-up. That slow rise-time on the old sensor was probably causing problems at high RPM. The slow-rise time was a symptom of an internal failure in the sensor's electronics.
Now we know what the most desperate dealerships will do when threatened by a competent tech.
Consider it a badge of honor that they are afraid of you. Then call Honda corporate and let them know how you and the customer were treated.
freaking honda 271k still sounds solid!!
Good to see the dealer network world wide is broken, they've gone to fixed pricing in Oz ,so no deals on an overpriced new car , time to try the other makers who care👍🏻
It depends how high up the chain the order to blacklist you came from, but you should try calling or writing a letter to corporate about that.
I soaked an o2 sensor in pb blaster once and it worked for another like 6 or 7 years.
Nice job Ivan.
The dealership is old school. They haven't realized a partnership with others in the same business actually helps them long term. Bummer for Honda.
