Hello Scotty. this is Ash and I have a problem with my 2012 honda Pilot losing power when moving from a stop sign to uphill while having the AC on. regardless of how much I bush there is no speed, it keeps moving slowly for like 3 or 4 seconds then will go.
I changed the spark plugs, it has k&n air filter, cleaned the throttle body and the air intake manifold, changing oil regularly, recently replaced the MAP sensor, replaced battery, checked the fuel pressure by a mechanic and said all good. replaced PCV Valve and all parts from Honda dealership and still having the same issue. please advise.
Thank you.
Scan it for codes and live data to look for clues.
it does not give any codes at all. I tried different scan tools and showed zero results.
Codes are just the beginning of the diagnostic process. Did you record live data while the problem was happening? If so, anything suspicious there?
No, I have not recorded any. will do that. thanks
Also bear in mind that when testing a fuel pump, although usually it's good if pressure is OK it is possible for pressure to be good but the pump is not delivering enough volume when the engine is under load. A clogged fuel filter can contribute to that kind of problem.
