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.

P0420 code - bank1 of engine, emissions below threshold. Common problem with cars at higher KM/miles I believe. Could be the downstream sensor, or the catalytic converter, or some combination. Seems fuel and oil level related too. With the piston ring problem that the 8th gen Accord has (many documented cases), they burn oil. I believe this makes them more susceptible to fouling/impacting catalytic converter. I am monitoring as light goes on for afew days, then off for several weeks in some cases - will replace the oil and rear sensor soon. Also added some 50/50 coolant to radiator. Did not do a flush.

P0420 code which can be a bunch of things - catalytic converter (only 1 in 2010 Accord 4cyl), oxygen/emissions sensors before the catalytic converter and after. Intermittent problem for around 6 months until I decided to replace the o2 sensors first. About 250-300 in parts. Also did the transmission fluid drain and fill at this time and new spark plugs a month earlier. Code went out and stayed out after the o2 sensor replace, so that was obviously the issue.

Plugs replaced, piston rings damaged as a result of issue and replaced. Drivers back support had come loose inside seatback and would 'collapse' when weight was put onto it, making it cave in and become nearly impossible to sit in for more than 30 minutes. Upon return from piston ring/misfire repairs there was a strong shudder when AC compressor was on. Took it to dealer to ensure they were aware problem was new since pickup. They claimed it only needed a tightened motor mount and sent me off. Earlier cause of rattle post misfire repair returned as a mis-installed tensioner pulley and when the dealer was driving it off to the service lot the pulley completely failed and it threw all belts off. 3rd trip originating from misfire.

Engine light comes on, computer analysis says misfire in cyclinder three. Computer upgrade obtained at no cost, warranty extended. Problem however reoccurred approximately three days later. Second trip for same problem, computer analysis says misfire cylinders three and five. Technician did some unidentified work which corrected problem for about two weeks before check engine light came back on. Check engine light, VSA light and VSA stability light appear. When car shut off and restarted only check engine light appears. Technician resets but this solution only lasts a day. Check engine light comes on. Coil replaced at cost to customer of $123 Cdn. Check engine light appears again same day. Dealer has now agreed to check valves at their cost. Car goes in tomorrow to allow this to happen.
