Do you set the intake and exhaust valves at the same time when it is on TDC on my 1985 honda 350x three wheeler

It is a 4 valve, 4 stroke engine so only one of the strokes has both sets or valves closed. The is called the combustion stroke. With the spark plug removed you can turn the engine at the crankshaft bolt. Drop a pencil into the combustion chamber at at TDC you will see the pencil rise to its highest point before it starts to go back down. That is when you measure the valve clearance.

What would cause a 2004 Honda Accord dx. 4 cylinder to keep throwing the PO141 & PO341 even after those parts have been replaced Po141 & PO 341

You have to either clear the codes with your scanner or drive for multiple "drive cycles". Those codes are stored in the ECU now so even if the sensors are working okay the ECU understands that some glitches are temporary but still needs to be "told" it's been really fixed. The exception to this is doing drive cycles but I only think these apply to emissions related codes and yes, those fall under emissions (the engine isn't operating at the optimal condition for emissions). An example of this is a loose gas cap. After you tighten it properly, the owners manual or a dealer will just tell you "keep driving it, it will go away", i.e. drive cycles. Yeah, or you could go to Autozone and have them clear it or you.

When my Honda VTX is hot it stops going

If your 2002 Honda VTX 1800 loses power to the wheels when it gets hot, it could be due to several potential issues. Here are a few possible causes to consider:
  1. Overheating: Check the cooling system of your motorcycle, including the coolant level, radiator, and cooling fan. If the engine is overheating, it can lead to loss of power. Ensure that the cooling system is functioning properly and that there are no blockages or leaks.
  2. Fuel delivery issues: When the engine gets hot, fuel delivery problems can occur. Check the fuel system components, including the fuel pump, fuel filter, and carburetors (if applicable). Make sure they are clean, free from clogs, and functioning correctly. If necessary, clean or replace these components.
  3. Ignition system problems: Heat can affect the ignition system, leading to weak spark or misfiring. Inspect the ignition coils, spark plugs, and spark plug wires. Ensure they are in good condition and properly connected. Replace any worn-out or damaged components as needed.
  4. Exhaust system obstruction: A partially blocked or restricted exhaust system can cause a loss of power when the engine gets hot. Inspect the exhaust pipes, mufflers, and catalytic converter (if equipped). Look for any obstructions, such as debris or carbon buildup, and clean or remove them.
  5. Clutch issues: If the clutch is not engaging properly when the engine is hot, it can result in a loss of power to the wheels. Check the clutch assembly, including the clutch plates, springs, and cable (if applicable). Ensure that the clutch is adjusted correctly and operating smoothly.
  6. Electrical problems: Heat can affect electrical components, leading to intermittent power loss. Inspect the wiring harness, connectors, and electrical connections. Look for loose or corroded connections, damaged wires, or faulty components. Repair or replace any problematic electrical parts.
  7. Engine performance issues: If none of the above issues are present, it's possible that there could be internal engine problems causing the loss of power. In this case, it's recommended to consult a qualified motorcycle mechanic or Honda dealer for a more thorough diagnosis and inspection.
Remember to follow proper safety precautions and consult the service manual for your specific motorcycle model during the troubleshooting process. If you're not confident in diagnosing or fixing the issue yourself, it's best to seek professional assistance to ensure a proper and accurate resolution.

Honda Cr-v 2003....engine light came on, misfire under load, went into limp mode. It is showing codes1298 and 1279. Are these connected, i.e does the ELD cause a misfire which results in 1279 code

if you drive any car this new. and with head lamps on and see the lamps dim and the alternator is failing EDL and all. even fan belt loose. battery lugs loose. the 14vdc (typ) batter voltage falls fast to 12vdc then near 10vdc. lamps now dim the EFI starts to fail. (its computer, and will not run below 10vdc. or even misfires) or under injects, and well a list of random things. all wrong. test the battery first many a bad battery can cause horrible crazy things as you bounce down a road. and the battery cane make the alternator or eld go nuts. 13vdc to 15vdc is normal at the battery lugs engine running' own a voltmeter to learn this? misfires has many causes, above is but 1 of 50 above is battery charger failures. the 2003 car we an scan the PCM to see errors too cars this old tend have 2 or more hard errors. but all ELD tests are in the book, to read;. ELD is like smart device the helps keep battery from going dead. ELD prevents overharge and under, better than most cars made. the ELD is a ammeter,(converter) the PCM asks over and over (looped) what does the battery see (here) current. so that allows the PCM to control the Alternator in a better way,to not stress the battery and get a longer life. the problem we see is kids with 2000watt bridging ear killing watts added, and the ELD does not see that current (HACKED IN by owners)) so the battery is not properly charged and goes bad fast. so don't by honda's(sorry) or rip out the stock alternator and stand alone version installed.. (or ask honda how to do it right?) those are the problems , if still stock ignore my AMP'd up hacks.

After replacing motor mounts on 2002 honda accord se 4 cyl it starts but revs up and down when given throttle

erratic up and down idle is usually either a faulty idle air control valve, located on throttle body, or vacuum leak. Check vacuum hoses by spraying each one with carb cleaner while engine is idling. If idle smooths out when one is sprayed, then replace that vacuum hose. If all are ok, then the IAC valve is bad. This is replaceable by itself. But before replacing it, try pulling it and cleaning the ports out of any carbon deposits It runs about $144.

2007 Honda Shadow VT600C won't start have new battery and plugs, and coil pack, new fuel filter, velocity stack, rebuild carb, loose choke cable to the carb.

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing with your 2007 Honda Shadow VT600C. If you've already replaced the battery, spark plugs, coil pack, fuel filter, and performed maintenance tasks such as rebuilding the carburetor and checking the choke cable, there are a few more things you can try: 1. Fuel delivery: Check that the fuel pump is functioning properly and delivering fuel to the carburetor. Ensure that the fuel lines are clear and not clogged. 2. Ignition system: Verify that the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. Check the ignition fuse and wiring for any potential issues. Ensure that all connections are secure and clean. 3. Air intake and filter: Make sure the air filter is clean and not obstructed. Ensure that the velocity stack is installed correctly and not causing any air flow issues. 4. Compression test: Perform a compression test to check the engine's compression. Low compression could indicate a mechanical issue within the engine. 5. Starter motor: Check if the starter motor is engaging properly and turning over the engine. If the starter motor is not working, it may need to be replaced. 6. Wiring and electrical connections: Inspect all wiring and connections related to the ignition system, starter motor, and battery. Look for any loose or damaged wires that may be causing the starting issue. If you've exhausted these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be best to consult a professional motorcycle mechanic or Honda dealership. They have the specialized knowledge and diagnostic equipment to pinpoint the exact cause of the starting problem and recommend appropriate repairs. Please remember to exercise caution and follow proper safety procedures when working on your motorcycle.
