2005 honda element.
First time working on this engine. Changed the head gasket,timing chain etc. Put back together reinstalled into vehicle. Had a start issue but resolved it got engine running. Computer say misfire #1&2 somehow got rid of #2 but still has #1 misfire.. cycled thru plags,coil packs cleaned injectors out. I have a video of engine running..

Hi I have a 2000 Ford triton v10 E350 van and I am having problems with misfire on Cilinder 2 and 7 and also a P0135 code and a P1131 code, found info how to find a vacuum leak for the p0135 code but I’m confused with the P1131 (lack of upstream heated) can you explain how can I do to find the P1131 solution. ( I also bought a workshop manual for the van, since I’m not a mechanic but wish to find the problems my self)

I have a 2003 Honda Element with 180000 miles with a cold air intake and it runs and sounds a little funny when I first start it when it’s cold. It also revs to one and a half RPMs till it warms up, is this normal? When it is warmed up it runs great. It starts perfect as well. Just some vibration and the Piston sound is clear as if it is a diesel. The oil is perfect in it and the spark plugs are good and coil packs are good.
