(Pt3) Coastal FLOOD Acura?! (Speedometer BROKEN + Parasitic Draw?)

Hopefully we can finish up the Coastal FLOOD Acura today...

A few Items remain:
-Parasitic Battery Draw
-Weak Battery
-DEAD SPEEDOMETER

Looks like some parts will be required to finish up this Acura...but will a new PCM (Engine Computer) fix the DEAD SPEEDOMETER?

I’m a heavy equipment mechanic, for 25 years. Really enjoy your troubleshooting process, and the education I’ve received on oscilloscopes from you over the years. I don’t use mine everyday, but when I do, I don’t know how I did it before them. Another great series of videos Ivan!!

[leefra]

Thank you Ivan for showing the Alldata procedure. Being able to follow step by step helps to understand the process. Very informative.

Owner was deal with the BEST, and you will Win, every time. Great efforts made, and a super result

There are vid3os of this car turning past 400k miles and it still looks in great shape and everything works. I really like these things. lol.. I got mine in 2019 for only $1700.. and it had nearly brand new tires on it. I was shocked I got them down so low. They had it marked for 4500.. but I kept checking in every few days and was comically offering them $1500, because they said no one has looked at it. And after about 2 weeks, the kid called me and said come get it: no lower than $1700. lol. Still drives great today. It's such a cool car for that price. heated seats.. 3 rows of leather seats that fold down flat.. Super cold AC, It's AWD.. and has a legendary 3.5L Honda engine. It's such a gem. lol

Great job, Ivan! I got hooked into your videos, because of your guest appearances on Eric's channel! Love seeing you guys working together!❤ Reminded me of my time, working on cars with my late father 😢. Keep up the great work! Im hooked!!😁🇺🇲🇺🇲

That security programming was incredible. I can't believe it was that simple. 😂

Ivan, I long ago purchased a Harbor Freight Battery Load Tester just for needs you needed in this video. As you know, simply turn the carbon pile dial until you reach 1/2 of the CCA and hold for 15 seconds. The battery voltage must not drop below 9.6volts to pass. Of course the battery needs to be at full charge before the test. It's a great diagnostic tool for batteries.

I enjoyed this repair series.
Thank you, Ivan.

[jerryking]

I wouldn't have guessed the repairs would be this easy. Kudos to Ivan.

IVAN, I Am always AMAZED with ur approach and thought process such a problem without people like you will be send to crusher 100% because no shope will bother even to look at it we are in age they called parts changer age as you know thanks for sharing ur knowledge and the way u tackle such a problem cannot thank you enough for taking the time to educate us really appreciated from CANADA, ONTARIO,

[Ram]

Great work Ivan! Amazing! I always love a good "Save a vehicle from the scrap heap"! It's a good vehicle and should last a long time, thanks to you!!

[vpimike]

Another great save, Ivan! I'm sure that thousands of vehicles like this one have been destroyed because the owners and mechanics gave up on them because they lacked your diagnostic abilities and persistence.

[wallebo]

Another great series. Always enjoyable to view. Thanks, Ivan.

I purchased a brand new 2006 Acura MDX Advance/Entertainment model drove it 8 years and only changed the oil and filters. Those cars were made very solid. I was told there was some torque converter issue with the trans that was used in the MDX but I never had any issues. When I sold it it still ran perfectly. I think these older cars are worth keeping on the road

[ashercohen]

What a champion you are, well done for sharing your thoughts with us too, I learn a lot from you, thank you

[notfound.....]

Worked on and older crown vic. Unplugged the aftermarket controller & brain eliminated that problem. Great series Ivan!!

[markmccormickkeys]

That's a fantastic remote start. One of the best, most reliable ever made. Most people drive their cars every day, so the convenience of having it outweighs not letting the car sit for 3 weeks at a time. Judging by the age of the remote, it's been in the car working great for 10+ years and now it's an issue? Doesn't make any sense.

[Sandmansa]

Umm, that was an unusually long lead into the intro.

Where it could be possible for a PCM to take damage from a short, I wasn't convinced of that just yet. I can only assume that Ivan made a few more off camera checks before he made this call. But the results speak for themself. Awesome work as usual Ivan!

[pellechi]

Enjoyable video ... thanks for your hard work ...

[robertmeyer]

The work you do is not easy
You need lots of knowledge and experience
Specialized tools is a must
Nobody like this in Canada
