I had 1998 Honda CRV~! It has 82000 miles on it.
  
I had a problem.
  
no matter what temperature is outsite. Every morning, I start up my car, the idle speed goes up to 1800 RPM.
Couple more minutes later, the idle speed goes back around 1000 RPM.
  
If anybody knows the issue, please tell me sa.
  
I will really appreciate.
 
Did you own any other car previous to the CR-V?
 
I think it is called fast idle for a reason. Because it is fast. It is needed to warm up the engine quicker.
 
After you have driven the car for a few miles, what RPM's is it running at?

"blueiedgod had said: "...the transmission retained the spacer reserved for the 6th gear. Some have replaced the spacer with the 6th gear... & now have 6th gear"
   
Does this mean I could replace the spacer and add a 6th gear on my 2003 CR-V?
  
Yes, people have done it on the other site "
 
That's pretty interesting, since the 2003 CR-V only had 4 gears normally, rather than the 5 gears used in the 2005 and later models...

After the engine warms up, everything goes back to normal.
Thank you for the response, though.

That should be in your owner's manual. Have you read it?

Actually it's not in the 07 manual. You're supposed to use the Maintenance Minder system in the CRV's computer.
 
Personally I printed out the maintenance schedule page from the 06 CRV (online) manual and pasted it on my 07 manual back page.

#5064 of 6928 Cd Player Problem by zengs

Jan 08, 2007 (8:32 pm)

1998 CRV LX with factory std cd player. It plays a cd fine until you eject
it or stop it then it displays an error message --can't read cd until you
let it sit for 5 min then it will work again. Anyone have this problem and
what did you do to fix it short of replacement.

That is because REAL Transmissions, not slush boxes, had 5 gears on every Honda since 1984, and were optional even earlier on.
 
These are Acura5150's pictures.
Original 5 spd Tranny

 
Modified 6 spd CR-V tranny

 
Modifing a slush box vehicle is like giving a Ferarri to a quadroploegic.

Sorry, I don't understand your response. Are you saying the 2003 CR-V 4 speed transmission could be modified to a six speed?
 
And anyway, aren't these automatic transmissions electronically shifted, which means the CPU has to be setup to shift correctly?

Seat belts and hardware are warranted for life. You should not pay to have them replaced.
 
yes, that is my understanding as well. in fact, honda changed out a defective seat belt for me in my 1981 civic when it had 220,000 miles on it and was 6 years old...all for free.
