Hey guys. I was doing an oil change yesterday and reaching for the filter I snapped this sensor in half. I took it to the Honda dealership today and they told me that all the sensors need to replaced and it would cost $500 + labor. I refuse to believe that is the case.

The car still runs fine. Haven't tried to open the throttle since I have no idea what it is. If someone can help me out with telling me what it is and part number and even installation it would be awesome.

I know someone will come through. Thanks

 

I believe you can just replaced the broken valve timing oil pressure switch. You probably just need the part #16 and #23.

#16 - 37250-PCX-A02 (switch)
#23 - 91319-PAA-A01 (o-ring)

 

Part #16

37250-PCX-A02 SWITCH ASSY., VALVE TIMING OILPRESSURE 46.24$ from Majestic (assuming you have an AP1)

I believe you are fine to run the car, VTEC just will not engage. Others chime in if I am incorrect.

 

ed-gsxr beat me to it.......lol

 

You believe correctly.

Car is ok to drive.

Once you try to hit VTEC, it will cut you off and set the CEL.

Honda you are pathetic. Take care of your customers, or someone else will. Stop feeding them lines of bulls!@T in desperate attempts to make money. There plenty of honest work to be done...find it.

 

lmao $500+ labor.

i hate stealerships.

 

Thanks a lot guys. HUUUGE help. As for installing it, do I just pull out the piece that got stuck and install the new part?

 

Yep, just unbolt and bolt in the new sensor. Connect and you'll be good to go. If you stay out of the VTEC band as Billman suggested, you shouldn't get a CEL.

 

Sounds good. Thanks a lot for all the help. Already placed order for the part. Hopefully it comes in soon.

 

Wow looks like you saved over $600 after labor and all lol..
