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

I pulled over and turned the engine off then it would not start again... what could be the problem?
 
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.

Crank Pulley by Salsaboy
Jan 29, 2009 (7:31 am)
Reply
I have a '96 CRV ( import) auto and i let it freeze up now the water flows out as quickly as i can put it in from the region of the bottom pulley but i can't exactly determine where.
So how can i get the pulley nut undone to check the damage?
The engine rotates anti clockwise and i have tried to pull the nut off clockwise but i need to jam the crank so that i can get some leverage on it.
I do not have any specialist tools so do i need to go to a garage.
Any tips or advice most welcome
Regards, Salsaboy

Transmission Fluid service - 3 successive fluid exchanges needed? by srizvi1

Replying to: blueiedgod (Jun 11, 2008 8:42 am)

I'm at over 120k on my 2004 Honda Accord EX-L w/ Navi (Auto, Sedan, 4-cyclinder) and wanted to fix the error I made by having my Transmission service done at 90k at Firestone. However, the Honda dealers I'm calling are just saying they do a simple drain and fill. A few dealers have said they do the 3 successive fluid exchanges but that I probably don't need it in my car.
 
Any thoughts?
 
(I know this is off topic here in the CR-V forum, but this is where I first heard about it)
