Autozone has one for $90
The aftermarket solenoids are made by Dorman and are of Chinese origin. Their success rate is highly variable. The solenoid has a filter screen which can be clogged with crud. The filter is about ~$5 at O'Reilly and the solenoid is about ~$100-110. Here are your options... depending on the degree of difficulty to replace.The CRV forum folk say to get the OEM for $234 cause the $30 to $130 aftermarket ones fail or can fail quickly. Thoughts?
Like Wayne says, the car is on borrowed time anyway and would only be used in an emergency to help my wife out. So far, her 2015 Forster, 160K, has been hit by a deer, had a CVT valve body failure, and smashed by a dump truck. Each time, she used the CRV till her car was fixed. But, In my Humble opinion., its not worth keeping this thing around. She could use my reduced capacity 2006 Toyota Matrix if need be. But the monkey is on her back...there is nothing stopping her from laying down $50k for a nice Subaru Ascent to carry all her dogs to shows around the west summer and winter (we are taking my 2018 Forester to Helena and Great falls). The CRV is just too expensive to keep for a pet in the State of WA. So I will try a couple of cheep fixes and probably just donate it to a friend or orgnizataion. If she wants to break down in 100 degree Oregon heat when I am not at home, in that POS she drives, with 3 dogs worth $100,000 each, that monkey is on her back.The aftermarket solenoids are made by Dorman and are of Chinese origin.

Here are your options... depending on the degree of difficulty to replace.
1.) If existing screen is clogged, clean and replace.
2.) Replace screen only
3. Replace screen and solenoid with aftermarket
4.) Replace screen and solenoid with OE
If it's a fairly easy job and the screen is clogged, clean it and replace
If the screen can't be cleaned, replace with new
see if the screen fixes the problem
If the problem persists, replace with aftermarket. As I said, the quality of the Dorman replacement is iffy. The good thing is that the part has a lifetime warranty thru O'Reilly, I can't speak for the other parts stores. If it's easy to swap out you can try and save a few bucks.
or, bite the bullet replace everything with OE and be done with it!
Ya' pays yer money and ya' takes yer chances.....

See Here That Ascent is $47,868 sticker. Now add in 6.5% TAVT, $3,111.41, and you're at $50,979.42 before any dealer fees and other add on charges. Subaru wants to compete with Audi... Price wise they aren't doing too bad. If you want real sticker shock look at their Solterra EV prices.$50K for a Subaru....really?
Yup! Subaru is trying to move upscale from their humble beginnings. Our '16 Outback is considerably more plush, luxurious and featured than I ever expected a Subie to be.$50K for a Subaru....really?
OK, let me check again....my 2018 Subaru Forester was $28, 383 (base price was 27,150 before dealer added extras...plus tax and a document fee (hyway robbery) In today's dollars, that would be 34,860 with inflation, Plus of course the wa state tax of 9 percent. Today at Parker Subaru across the state line in Idaho, a new Premium Forester , 2024, with $1800 discount is $31K.Yup! Subaru is trying to move upscale from their humble beginnings.

Another person said the Dorman is iffy....and to by from RockAuto.com, Buy the NTK VV 0122. So I have to change the old 5000 mile oil and 2 year old engine filter, and I have the official honda trouble shooting chart....2 pages....if nothing else, I dontate the turkey.The aftermarket solenoids are made by Dorman and are of Chinese origin.

OK, ordered one from the biggest supplier of NGK/NTK parts on Ebay. Got a new engine oil filter and oil and I have the official Honda trouble shooting manual. If nothing else works, I may see if my car insurance tow package will allow the dealer to pick it up on a flat bed (limp home mode is obnoxious) and see if they can give me an estimate. The people on the CRV forum have been very helpful.....one guy wrote this.NTK is the electronic sensor division of NGK so it's good stuff. NTK is likely the OE supplier to Honda.

“ P2647 "Rocker arm actuator stuck "On". This means to me the system is telling the assy to send oil to the pins to lock the rocker arms of theft Vtec valves all the time. ?”
No. That is a generic explanation. Pay no attention to what that scan tool description says.
The Honda P2647 is “vtec oil pressure switch high voltage”, as you see in the service manual.
The vtec oil pressure switch is a ECM “pull up” sense circuit. ECM puts 12v on the wire, and when the pressure switch is in continuity that grounds the wire when there is low oil pressure, meaning 0V is on the wire. When oil pressure is sufficiently high, the switch goes open circuit and thus 12v is sensed on the wire. In P2647, the ECM is sensing 12V on the wire when it is not expecting it, thus high voltage.
For the purposes of the vtec pressure switch - open circuit, 12v sensed on wire, and OFF are synonymous.
I can now get to all the connectors and plugs and jacks.....
