Faulty multi-switch possibly... The circuitry for the headlights and the turn signals are all in the multi-switch i.e. turn signal switch on that vehicle I think?

I have a 2003 Honda Element, AWD, with ~120,000 miles. What is the factory recommendation for changing out the timing chain.

There is NO recommendations for having the chain replaced.It is designed to last the life of the vehicle. If you notice performance concerns or excessive engine noise, a technician can remove the timing chain cover and check for excessive play and replacement may be necessary, but the chain is not serviced as preventive maintenance.

Splash4, there's just one Camshaft Position Sensor. Should be an easy fix.

Has twin overhead cams and parts on line show exhaust and intake.
Local Parts place confirmed that there is two and I need to determine which is bad.
They said to check voltage.
They didn't know what to check for such as ohms resistance etc.
Any idea what voltage they should test at ? Or ohm resistance ?
I can check resistance and maybe see a big difference in the two and guess That the one with high resistance is bad.
Maybe have to call Honda and ask ?

You are correct. It's an interesting and somewhat unique set-up on that engine. Personally, I would replace both with BWD brand sensors, which come with a lifetime warranty. I recently replaced the Camshaft Position Sensor on my DOHC Taurus, just because it had 130,000 miles on the car. No codes were thrown. I was amazed at the improvement in performance--it was very noticeable. I primarily replaced it, along with the Crankshaft Position Sensor, from a preventive maintenance standpoint. These are crucial sensors. Heat destroys them, over time.
The intake Camshaft Sensor likely controls when the fuel injectors fire on that engine. I would guess that it failed, since the car won't start.

The A/C pressure switch is on the high pressure pipe. There is a grey connector connected to it. Look near the underhood fuse/ relay box.

There is four wires on the connector.
Which terminals do you jump to simulate the low pressure switch?

The switch is a combination hi/ low pressure switch. The low pressure switch is open when the system pressure is below 28psi or above 455psi, the high pressure switch closes above 221psi. What exactly are you trying to diagnose here? The A/C system is complex and shouldn't be tampered with unless you understand how things work and know exactly what you are doing.

HI
I have 2006 Accord.
In my service manual, the valve clearance is 21-28mm as minimum adjustment for the 2.4L engine.
In my friend's car, Accord 2008, its service manual showing: 21.25 as minimum adjustment.
My question is: can I adjust my 2006 valves to be like the 2008 Engine? Or it will harm the engine?
Thanks

Follow your service manual or the sticker under the hood. If you adjust the valves too tight, especially the exhaust valves, they will crack or burn due to the heat. Honda valves should be adjusted when the engine is "stone cold."
