Started throwing a code indicating the timing was out of spec. "DTC P0341: CMP Sensor A and CKP Sensor Incorrect Phase Detected" The blanket fix is to replace the VTC oil control solenoid, VTC actuator, cam chain and auto tensioner. I've always changed the oil on time with synthetic, including the filter everytime. I believe this defect is indicative of a larger quality issue in these engines. There is a TSB related to this even though it wasn't possible to prove it was the cause. A timing chain should not need to be replaced at the same frequency of a timing BELT.

I replaced the alternator with a new part and the part was substandard (could not handle AC and head lights at the same time, even though rated for 140 Amps). I returned it and bought another one (also 140A), this time it was re-manufactured. This next one was better, but worse than the factory part. I researched the market and found that only junk Chinese parts were available (Napa, O’Reilly, etc). Decided to get my original alternator (90A) rebuilt. This cost more, but now it works better than it did when it new (~100-110A). I reported this to two different Govt agencies (about the misrepresented current ratings, and replacement part not safe/ working). Nether to date, have contacted me or acknowledged my reports...

VTEC Spool Valve sensor/solenoid, was leaking engine oil. Whole part was replaced (this included the gaskets). The paint and or clear coat is going bad. Undecided if I'll get the engine hood repainted. Last year a friend repainted my roof. Unknown caused oil loss. Just repaired VTEC sensor leak. Might or might not be that. Car now takes 1 quart of oil per 300-900 Miles. Might be valve glide seals (stem seal) or engine rings. This along with all the other issues, I might begin to look for another car.
