Can a valve adjustment fix a misfire?
Yes, tight valves can cause misfires. It is effectively the same as a bent valve because the valve is not sealing properly. yeap, like dogginator said. Just go back and re-adjust them, it gets easier every time, before you know it, youll be able to do valve adjustments with your eyes closed.
Why does my Honda Odyssey have a misfire code?
Unlike a lot of the OBDII codes, this code has to do directly with engine combustion. Driving with a misfire can damage that catalytic converter. Raw fuel is also passing through the cylinder into the exhaust. Mileage may suffer as well when your Odyssey has P0302.
Can you adjust the valve on a Honda Odyssey?
Valve adjustment is typically within a pretty small range and I doubt very much you could misadjust it far enough to cause it to hit the piston. It would have to be fully open when off the cam lobe (meaning it is open all the time). Probably wouldn’t run very well especially if you managed to adjust all the valves this way.
What does cylinder 5 on Honda Odyssey mean?
Mileage may suffer as well when your Odyssey has P0305 as well. P0305 is a cylinder specific misfire code, which means that Cylinder 5 is misfiring and causing it. An important thing to understand when finding the location of Cylinder 5 is that it’s going to be the fifth cylinder in the firing order.
Is there a problem with the Honda Odyssey p0302?
P0302 is certainly a cause for concern, and can be a threat to the drivability the Honda Odyssey. The nice thing about it is that the P0302 has tracked the problem to a particular cylinder, which makes diagnosing the problems simpler than P0300, which means that the cylinders are randomly misfiring.

What was the problem with the Honda cylinder misfire?
The David Hobbs Honda dealership diagnosed the problem as P0301 and P0305, and called it random misfires. They ran two cans of Top Engine Cleaner through the car, then test drove the car for 10 miles, and determined that the vehicle was running OK. About 2 weeks later, the problem re-occurred. (I.E.
What does interference mean on a Honda Odyssey?
An “interference” design means that the piston will hit the valve if the valve stays fully open while the piston comes to the top of its stroke. This is only probable if your timing belt breaks or you have some other catastrophic failure.
When to change timing belt on Honda Odyssey?
In my 1999-2002 Honda Service Manual it says that on 2002 engines the valves need to be adjusted every 105K miles. Being in a place that the climate determines when I can work on my vehicles I am changing the timing belt and adjusting the valves on my 2002 Ody at a little under 200k. And I have to say the timing belt looked brand new.
