I was going 70mph and all of a sudden my speed started dropping and i put the accelerator all the way to the floor and i still was loosing speed... It was almost as if I was running out of gas but i had over a half a tank.. I pulled over and turned the engine off then it would not start again... what could be the problem?

Fuel pump? Clogged fuel filter? Gas cap on tight? Gas cap tested?

I had an Accord that just stopped. It was an electonic module in the distributor or what ever they call it now. Fuel pump?

If you are not the original owner, or don't remember the history of the vehicle, check to see if the ignition switch recall has been performed.
 
The easiest way to check of previous recalls and to be notified of new recalls is to register you vehicle at American Honda Owner's Link. You can find the link by going to Honda.com.
 
Also, the valves need to be adjusted, on the loose side of the spec, every 30,000 miles.

Yes it's an interference engine. Did you miss the timing belt change interval for some reason?
 
IF the belt did indeed break, then chances are good that there is engine damage, yes. How much damage remains to be seen once the cylinder head is removed.

If the timing belt has never been changed, then it is very possible that it broke. The 2000 model had 7 year, 100,000 mile timing belts, I believe.
 
Timing belts are maintenance items and need to be replaced on regular basis based on the mileage or time.
 
Good luck.

Remote Key Fob Screws by mcdermott
Jan 28, 2009 (7:19 pm)

Hello:
   Recently I replaced the batteries in two remote-key fobs for my 2005 Honda CR-V. Perhaps these screws were installed using "Lock-Tite" or another type of adhesive, but they proved very difficult to remove. Eventually resorting to classic "strong arm" methods, I nearly stripped the heads of both screws.
   I've searched for replacement screws locally to no avail. These screws are so tiny I cannot even determine their specificiations. I do not really want to spring for new key fobs, but would like to find a source for the replacement screws.
   Any help out there?
   Your time and consideration are appreciated.
Regards,
Jack

Home Depot sells "Nut & Bolt Locker" cost is about a few bucks which prevent threaded screws from loosening
made by Super Glue
 
If the screw head has problem put a tiny drop of superglue to connect the screw driver then snap it off after screwed in.
 
As for the new replacement screw, may be lucky to get from those locksmiths that makes car keys.
