I figured out how to remove the sensor. I had to remove the oil filter. I was hoping to avoid this but I saw no alternative.
Hi Eric,
Appreciate the video it is very helpful but I’m trying to remove the sensor unit that you show being pulled up through the intake manifold. Do I need to remove the cable harness? It appears to be in the way. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Quoted From johnbkobb:
Most CV joints go bad because the boot gets torn and throws the grease out and without that grease to lubricate it it isn’t noticed until it makes noise and needs replacement. Did you check the inner shaft boot for rip or tear or grease leakage? Could also be something in the trans.
I didn’t see any boot damage. I do hope it’s not something in the transmission. No real problems when driving. I just found it very odd the driver side drive shaft would have this much play. The service manual has no specification for radial play or what determines when the inner CV joint is bad other than what you mentioned. I found a video that gives a good example of the what the play looks like. I guess this is normal?
I discovered the problem. I was taking the approach of the fuel sending unit being bad but what was actually bad is the fuel tank itself. I found a large dent in the bottom side of the tank. This was causing the sending unit to measure the level incorrectly even though it tested correctly outside the tank. The fuel sensor was my fault, when I was working in the area of the sending unit I forgot to reconnect the fuel pressure sensor. I guess I will have to live with a fuel gage that is all over the place. Thanks for the comments and suggestions.
The problem has gotten a little worse now. I’m now getting a check engine light and the code is P0453. This relates to the fuel tank pressure sensor. Can pressure in the tank actaully cause the fuel sending unit to raise and lower? Any suggestions or directions on this would be greatly appreciated.
myhonda99, When you removed the flywheel cover did you notice if the flywheel had oil on the back of it it? I have oil on the inside of the flywheel cover but nothing on the back (opposite of clutch plate side) of the flywheel.
Quoted From dreamer2355:
Its going to depend on the severity of the leak as well as if there is excessive engine blow-by.
leak is about (2) drops per day. Very slow but annoying. Is it safe to assume if it’s not leaking on the back of the flywheel then it’s probably not leaking on the clutch plate?
