I know I have only had my pilot for short time, but what a difference. With the eco light popping up and down all the time, I drove my 212k girl and felt like the engine/trans/suspension was broken. Much smoother, more predictable. Now starts anew.

After all this time as anyone had an issue with VCM disabled by the muzzler?

I've had mine for 4 years hassle free

 

[AVC]

No problems whatsoever from the original VCMMuzzler. The old girl has plenty of other unrelated quirks, though.

Just ordered a VCMTUNER II for my 13 with a little over 100k on her (Tank)

Pm sent.

I have a 2012 Pilot exl. I was wondering if you had the VCM muzzler II in stock for this? I’m sorry about asking here but it won’t let me send a message to you direct.

I have the same story as the last message, new on the forum so it won't let me PM,
just got a 2012 Pilot 4wd, please advise on shipping to Vernon BC

我不能同意。我认为你没有正确理解我。
当我说串联时，我的意思是风扇（空调风扇和冷却风扇）低速串联，高速并联（请看上面的电路图）。这取决于 PCM 根据 ECT1 和 ECT2 的读数。是的，我完全同意 PCM 分别解释两个传感器（ECT1、ECT2）。我确认风扇有低速和高速模式。两个风扇不能单独运行（我有 CR-V，现在我有 Pilot，我可以毫无疑问地确认这一点！）。
根据传感器...... ECT1 安装在恒温器附近，它总是读取更高的温度......高达 200 - 225F（93 - 107 C）。ECT2 总是读取较低的温度（冷却液的）180 - 195F（80 - 90 C）。我可以从我的 HDS 发布一些实时数据来证明这一点。

Hi! I have a new to me 2015 Pilot Touring 4WD. It has around 125K on it and has been regularly serviced. I usually only put about 2.5 to 3k miles per year on my vehicles, mostly city. Do I really need to worry about the VCM?

City driven vehicles are more prone to having a carbon buildup. IMO, the engine doesn't need any cylinders turning off. I'd disable it.

Disconnecting the temp sensor was nasty, partly because the access for either hand is wicked, but the 9 years of road crust also made the release tab rather immobile.
Fortunately I had some tiny magnets, put one on one side of the jaws of small pliers, and that extra projection was able to depress the release tab - then it simply slides off.
Great how the vehicle rides now; over a section of low rolling hills, on cruise control, now there is no downshifting and in/out of ECO mode, there used to be 4 or 5 motor setting adjustments in as little as 20 seconds, what nonsense that was ...
cheers

One thing to watch for on old connectors is not breaking the tabs off. Have not had this issue on my '12 Pilot but have on older '03 CR-V. Key is to just take your time so you don't break the tab. Otherwise you will have to ziptie it so it stays on.

I installed the original VCM Mulzer II (I think it's the II version) and have no issues. What is different/better in the new versions. Also, I keep the blue (Cold temp) insert in all year, could that cause a problem?

@melissacosby1 --

I had an Odyssey. When the VCM logic screwed up, it killed cylinder 6 and I had to get a new engine.
I NEVER leave the factory VCM to its own devices...

Dear verbatim,

Very impressed with the efforts you expended to develop the VCMuzzler. I just purchased a 2012 Pilot for my son with 86k miles and want to install your product. Could you send me information on how to order one? Shipping would be to US zip code 16033.

Thanks,
D.

I’ve got a 2014 Pilot EXL and am contemplating the S-VCM: What kind of mpg loss have you experienced now that you’ve disabled the VCM? I’m guessing not much since the city/hwy range is only 17/24. Our driving habits usually put us in the 20 range.

 

[ThisGuy55]

Hi Verbatim,
I'm new to this forum so it won't allow me to send a PM yet. I need to purchase a VCMuzzler II for my 2013 Honda Pilot. My mechanic sent me to vcmtuner.com, but they seem to be out of stock at the moment. I have three questions:
May I purchase one from you?
What is the price?
What is the difference between your VCMuzzler 2 and the VCM Tuner 2 from vcmtuner.com?

Thanks!

 

[John Fleck]

I recently purchased a 2013 Honda Pilot EX-L are you still building the VCM override wiring harness? I’d like to buy one if possible. I have the vibration issue and this seems like the fix

 

[Eugd]

I got the svcm. Does anyone have a pic where I plug it in. Is this the spot?

 

[i_like_cars]

verbatim i need to disable the vcm in my honda accord v6 how can i get your product

 

[BluePilot’19]

I have a 2019 pilot and I’m thinking about the svcm controller - so tricking the engine into thinking the temp isn’t as high won’t cause the engine to run more rich and have more carbon buildup ? Sorry I got cross eyed reading all these pages and tried to skip to the more recent posts - what’s the disadvantage to the svcm controller ?
thanks🙏
