Just wanted to share as to how I was able to beat these 2 issues with my 07 Acura MDX. There is a video on Youtube that shows how to place a resistor on one of the wires of the sensor....I tried that and it didn't work.. So there was this other method by using a spark plug non-fowler. Simply put, drill out 1 of the non-fowlers and screw it into the second non-fowler and screw it into the downstream O2 sensor hole and re attach the sensor into the non-fowlers and voila! Its been about 60 days and no more code...(cost 10$) (savings of about 1200.00 ...if no warranty)
The TPMS was a bit tricky cause I tried the "TPMS PIPE BOMB" which is all 4 sensors inside a piece of 3"ABS pipe with 2 end caps and a valve stem at one end)... it worked... for about 20 min then I got an TPMS ERROR on my screen. So what I did next was invent the "TPMS HAND GERNADE" which is a smaller 2"ABS pipe cut at approximately 2 1/2 to 3 inches with end caps on both sides and a valve stem on one end. When constructed Its about the size of a baseball. (cost to make 4 = 25$) The down side of using the 2" pipe is that I had to cut off half of the valve stem to make it fit in the 2" pipe... After inflating the pressure to 35lbs in each TPMSHG I placed 2 front wheel sensors on each side of the engine compartment (its easier if you can mark which sensors go on what side of the truck) and I zip tied them to something...For the 2 rear wheel sensors I hid one inside a small compartment located in the hatch area on the driver side and I haven't had time to look as to where to place the rear passenger one yet so I temporary placed it in the 3rd row cup holder... Its been 4 days now and they are all holding their air... Now I can switch from my summer to winter tires with no hassles and an extra 400$ in my pocket.
thanks for reading
