2011 Honda Odyssey Cylinder 3 Location? ›

I'm Ron. I will be happy to assist you with your question. May I ask to whom I have the pleasure of speaking with today? On the 2011 Honda Odyssey with the V6-3.5L engine, cylinder #3 is located on the side of the engine closest to the windshield, and is the cylinder closest to the driver's side.

On an inline engine, start counting the cylinders with 1 at the front, closest to the timing cover. On a V-engine, cylinder 1 is slightly in front and at the front of the engine. It's in the bank that sticks out in front of the other bank. The 3 cylinder will be next to the 1.

P0303 - Cylinder 3 misfire detected.

If you're standing in front of the engine looking at it, the numbering reads like a book. 1-2-3 on the back row and 4-5-6 on the front row, reading left to right as you're standing there, but for example, #1 is on the right side of the van, #3 is on the left side (driver's side).

Replacing Spark Plugs and Ignition Coils — If the spark plug in Cylinder 3 is fouled, damaged, or worn out, replacing it with a new, manufacturer-recommended spark plug can often solve the misfire. Similarly, a faulty ignition coil might need to be replaced to ensure consistent sparks.

If left untreated, a cylinder misfire can lead to significant engine damage. Worse, if you experience a bad misfire while driving, it could result in an accident. This is why it's important to treat engine misfires as soon as you detect them.

Below are some of them: Check Engine light is illuminated or blinking. Vehicle jerks or hesitates during acceleration. Reduced performance exhibited through rough idling, stalling, reduced fuel economy, and loss of power.

Features: 2022 Odyssey

The 2022 Odyssey has 280 horsepower, created from a 3.5 Liter V6, which also outputs 262 lb-ft of torque.

Common firing orders

For V engines and flat engines, the numbering system is L1 for the front cylinder of the left bank, R1 for the front cylinder of the right bank, etc.

On a V type engine: one cylinder head is slightly forward of the other, toward the front of the engine. Cylinder number one is the forward most cylinder in that bank.

How much does it cost to fix a cylinder 3 misfire? ›

How much does it cost to fix an engine misfire? Depending on the misfire's cause, the repair and replacement cost might range between $100 and $1,000.

Is a 3-Cylinder engine good or bad? It depends on the intended use of the vehicle. A 3-cylinder engine can offer good fuel efficiency and is a good choice for smaller cars, but it may not provide enough power for larger vehicles or heavy loads.

There are many reasons that one cylinder could have no, or low, compression without any external signs. Stuck piston rings, valves contaminated and not seating properly, valves that are “burnt”, a piston with a hole in it, a warped cylinder head,or even a bad or improperly installed cylinder head gasket.

P0303 indicates that the third cylinder of the engine is misfiring, meaning that the combustion cycle was incomplete. It is usually a sign of fuel pressure or compression problems, as well as faults in the ignition system or delivery system.

A 3-cylinder engine is smaller, lighter, and has fewer moving parts, which can lead to better fuel economy and fewer emissions. However, it produces less power and torque compared to a 4-cylinder engine, making it feel underpowered in larger vehicles or when driving up steep hills.
