So much for having a day off to myself. Driving home last night my CR-V went into limp mode. Check engine, traction control and VSA lights on, and it would buck if I tried going over 3K RPM. Pulled the codes and got P2647 which is for a stuck rocker arm actuator.
This happened to me two years ago, almost to the day even, and it was because the mesh screen on the gasket inside the VTEC solenoid was plugged with sludge and oil wasn't flowing through it.
Looks like today I'm changing the oil a bit early with 30% oil life still remaining, and also taking the solenoid off and blowing it out with some brake cleaner.
I find it weird that this is happening a second time but with this car it's always something.
Hopefully a 20 minute job but with my luck, this'll be a 3 day ordeal
I'm going to send my filter to 53' Stude for a cut and post as well.
