HELLO MY BUNDY BUDDIES THIS IS BUNDY HERE BUNDYS GARAGE HEY TODAY I'M WORKING ON A 2005
HONDA PILOT BUT THIS WILL ALSO WORK ON YOUR RIDGELINE V6 ACCORDS ODYSSEY CL TL MDX ACURA
OH WHAT ELSE IS OUT THERE ACCORD CROSSOVER ANYTHING WITH YOUR J SERIES HONDA ACURA V6
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO ME IS UM DID THE TIMING BELT ON THIS PILOT AND WENT TO START IT UP
AND IT HAD A MISFIRE AND I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY I DOUBLED CHECKED ALL MY CONNECTORS
ON THE COIL PACKS PUT A SCANNER ON IT AND HAD A MISFIRE ON CYLINDER NUMBER 6 SO DOUBLE
CHECKED MY CONNECTORS THERE AND I STARTED TO THOUGHT MAYBE THE COIL WASN'T ALL THE WAY
IN OR MAYBE THE SPARK PLUG WAS DAMAGED SOMEHOW I DON'T SEE HOW BUT WHEN I DID THAT WHEN I
CHECKED EVERYTHING THE HEAD OF THE COIL PACK POPPED OFF IT CAME OFF IT WAS ACTUALLY ALREADY
LOOSE AND THIS VEHICLE IS ALSO SHOWING A BAD FRONT CATALAYTIC CONVERTOR AS WELL AND THE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID COME ON FOR HTE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR CLEARED IT AND IT DIDN'T COME BACK
ON BUT THIS GOT ME THINKING THAT THIS COIL PACK THE PREVIOUS OWNER KNEW ABOUT THIS COIL
PACK AND IT HAD THE MISFIRE AND THE MISFIRE TOOK OUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR BECAUSE IF
YOU HAVE RAW FUEL GOING INTO A CATALYTIC CONVERTOR ALSO KNOWN AS A CAT IT WILL DESTROY THE CAT
IT WILL DESTROY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR THAT'S THE FASTEST WAY TO DESTROY A CATALYTIC CONVERTOR
IS TO HAVE RAW FUEL DUMPING INTO THE CAT SO I'M SURE THE OWNER KNEW ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD HAVE BEEN FLASHING AND THE PILOT WOULD HAVE BEEN RUNNING LIKE
JUNK SO WHAT I TRY TO DO HERE IS I'LL TRY AND MAKE THIS SHORT AND SWEET THE HEAD ON
THE COIL PACK POPPED OFF SO I TRY TO GRAB IT WITH SOME PLIERS IT'S NOT MOVING WITH PLIERS
AT ALL AND WHAT IT I KNOW YOU CAN'T REALLY SEE IT THERE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S MELTED
IT'S ACTUALLY MELTED INSIDE THERE ITS SWOLLEN AND THE WAY THE COIL PACKS GO IN IN THE SPARK
PLUG TUBE UM THERES NOT A LOT OF ROOM MAYBE LOOKING AT MAYBE A MILLIMETER MAYBE A MILLIMETER
AND A HALF ON EACH SIDE WHEN THE COIL PACK ACTUALLY GOES DOWN INTO THE HOLE THERE'S NOT
A LOT OF ROOM SO IF THAT COIL PACK IS SWOLLEN FROM HEAT CAUSE IT MELTED OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOING
TO EMBED IT'S INTO THE INTO THE WALLS OF WHERE THE SPARK PLUG INTO THE SPARK PLUG TUBE SEAL
INTO THE SPARK PLUG TUBE NOT SEALS SO I GRAB IT I TRY TO GET IT OUT WITH SOME PLIERS IT'S
NOT BUDGING AT ALL IT'S NOT MOVING YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE IN SOME OF THE SHOTS THE HEAD
OF THE COIL PACK IS ON TOP OF THE INTAKE ON THIS HONDA I DIDN'T NEED TO TAKE OFF THE UPPER
INTAKE ON SOME OF THEM YOU MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE UPPER INTAKE TO GET THE VALVE COVER
OFF THERE WAS ENOUGH SPACE FOR ME TO GET THE TOOLS IN THERE AND SNEAK THE VALVE COVER OFF
PUT AFTER A WHILE OF TRYING TO PULL THE END OF THE COIL PACK OUT I DECIDED THERE IS NO
WAY THAT I CAN GET THIS THING OUT WITHOUT PULLING THE VALVE COVER SO I HAD TO PULL THE
VALVE COVER OFF THERE'S 5 10MM BOLTS THAT HOLD IT ON AND LIKE I SAID YOU MIGHT HAVE
TO TAKE THE INTAKE OFF ON THIS ONE I DID NOT HAVE TOO ONCE I HAVE THE VALVE COVER OFF I
TOOK A PAIR OF CHANNEL LOCKS AND I TRIED TURNING THE COIL PACK INSIDE THE TUBE IT DIDN'T WANT
TO COME I TRIED AND I TRIED AND I TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS DIFFERENT COMBINATION OF TOOLS TO TRY
AND GET THE COIL PACK OUT I HAD THOUGHT ABOUT DRILLING IT OUT DOWN THE CENTER AND THEN TRYING
TO PULL IT OUT SOMEHOW BUT THERE WAS NO WAY THE ANGLE THAT THIS THING IS SITS AT THERE
IS NO WAY TO GET A DRILL A DRILL DOWN THERE AND I DON'T HAVE A 90 DEGREE DRILL BIT TO
BE ABLE TO PUNCH A HOLE THROUGH THERE SO THEN I'M THINKING IF IT MELTED THEN OBVIOUSLY IF
I MELT IT AGAIN IF I HEAT IT UP AND GET THE PLASTIC WARM OR AT A MELTING POINT MAYBE I'LL
BE ABLE TO GET THE COIL PACK UP AND OUT SO THEN I GET A I WOULDN'T USE A OXY ACETYLENE
TORCH BECAUSE THERE ARE SENSITIVE COMPONENTS IN THERE THERE ARE SEALS THAT YOU CAN DAMAGE
I USED A MAP A M A P TORCH M A P YOU CAN GET THEM FROM LOWE'S HOME DEPOT ANY ACE HARDWARE
STORE ANY LOCAL HARDWARE STORE WILL HAVE ONE WHERE EVER YOU MAY LIVE IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING
THIS PROBLEM I HAD NEVER NEVER EVER EVER EVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE I'M JUST TRYING TO
WORK IT UP BUT THEM FINALLY I'M LIKE I GOTTA HEAT THIS THING UP CASE THERE WAS A POINT
WHERE I THOUGHT I'M GOING TO HAVE TO REMOVE THE HEAD LONG STORY BORING I TAKE THE MAP
GAS TORCH AND I HEAT UP THE SPARK PLUG TUBE I MOVE THE HEAT FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP
OF THE SPARK PLUG TUBE ON THE FRONT SIDE ON THE BACK SIDE AND ON THE SIDES THEN I GET
A PAIR OF VISE GRIPS AND I START TO SLOWLY TURN THE END OF THE SPARK PLUG INTO THE COIL
PACK OFF SORRY I'M GETTING THESE NAMES CONFUSED SO I JUST REPEATED THAT STEP I KEPT ON HEATING
THE SPARK PLUG TUBE UP TAKE A PAIR OF CHANNEL LOCKS MOVING THE OIL COIL PACK END UP AND
OUT OF THE SPARK PLUG TUBE SO IF THIS WAS ON THE BACK SIDE I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE HASSLE
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN SO I DON'T ENVY YOU IF YOU ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ON THE BACK SIDE
I WOULD TRY TO LOOK ONLINE ABOUT ANYTHING THAT RELATES TO THIS BUT THERE WAS NOTHING
ANYTHING ON YOUTUBE JUST SHOWS GUYS GETTING STUCK SPARK PLUGS OUT OF FORD 5.4L ENGINES
NOTHING ABOUT THE HONDA J SERIES V6 THE COIL PACK BREAKING OFF IN THE SPARK PLUG TUBE SO
IF YOU EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM JUST GET A MAP GAS TORCH ANYWHERE ANY LOCAL HARDWARE
STORE WILL HAVE IT HEAT THAT TUBE UP JUST TAKE YOUR TIME HEAT IT UP SLOWLY I MAY HAVE
APPLIED HEAT TO THE TUBE FOR 30 SECONDS THEN TRY TO MOVE IT UP ADD ANOTHER 30 SECONDS MOVE
THE OLD COIL PACK UP AND JUST TOOK MY TIME THAT WAY AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OUT SO THERE
YOU GO GUYS FOR A MINUTE THERE I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THE HEAD OFF WHICH
I REALLY DID NOT WANT TO DO BECAUSE IT IS A PAIN IN THE BUTT TO TAKE THE HEAD OFF IF
