VCM Delete on Honda Pilot - Will it fix oil burning? Part 2 P0420/P0430

My 2011 Honda Pilot has been throwing the P0420/P0430 catalyst inefficient code. There could be many causes of this. Before changing the incredibly expensive catalyst, we'll try a few troubleshooting steps that are far cheaper. In the last video we started by changing the PCV valve. In this video we will disable the VCM (variable cylinder management, the green ECO light) system to prevent the cylinders from turning off. This should help the piston rings seal better to cut down on oil burning and consumption. It should also make the motor smoother and drive better. How will it affect gas mileage?

Catalyst converter meant for filtering carbon monoxide from polluting air. Meanwhile what if Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) broken, isn't it one cause of clogged piston ring, which ends up internal combustion not meets Euro standard of emissions?

[@btechnol]

Yes, it is ironic the the vcm not working can actually make the emissions worse

Hi there.. I also have a honda pilot with misfiring problems usually cylinder 1 or 3.. Been thinking of getting the vcm muzzle but I see 2 kinds online.. The one installed in the video and another that doesn't connect to the pos terminal (comes with 4 different ohms from amazon).. Which one to get? And why it connects to the battery and other one doesn't? Anyone know?.. Pls help

I can personally vouch for the one I used in the video. The link to it is in the description. It has been operating flawlessly for months now. It uses the positive terminal because it is actually a small digital system that is actively measuring the engine temp and using a small program to decide what output to send to the ECM to safely keep the VCM turned off. This system also automatically bypasses itself when it senses the engine is overheating. Many of the other kits use a passive resistor that works in many but not all situations, so the VCM may turn back on at times.

@@btechnol awesome thank you for the quick reply...definitely will get one.
