Replying to: ms2112 (Feb 21, 2009 9:38 pm) So any suggestions would help here. I just can't understand how adding four new plugs has sent me into this nightmare. Oh yeah I also went back and changed the plugs to the oem style plugs. Thanks ms2112 A) If you are in the US or Canada, there were no FWD CR-V EX offered for sale in 2001. Only LX came in FWD with auto only model. B) Use NGK or Denso plugs only. C) Valve lash needs to be adjusted every 30,000 miles, on the loose side. D) Replace tranny, and rear differential fluids with Honda ATF and Honda Dual pump fluids only, preferrably within 30,000 mile intervals. E) Timing belt on that vehicle needs to be replaced at 105,000, I believe. While at it, replace the water pump as well. F) Use Honda Type 2 coolant. I think, this is it. |

Hello, At about 60mph (even sooner lately) my CRV starts to vibrate .The problem is it comes and goes. It seems to be getting worse. But here is the problem: eventually it goes away! If I put on the brakes while its happening ,I can feel the rotors pulsating,but when the CRV is not vibrating, and I put the brakes on,there is no pulsing.I had the differencial fluid changed about 4 months ago for the documented steering noise. One interesting thing is that I had the tires balanced 3 weeks ago and then went for a 100 mile drive and there was no problem. But within a couple days it was back. Any suggestions? Thanks Mike

Replying to: mike628 (Feb 25, 2009 6:23 pm) 1) your brake rotors are warped. you can have them machined, but the warpage will come back. The most common cause warped disk rotors on Hondas is the use of air tools to tighten the wheel bolts. It cases uneven distribution of torque and makes the rotors warp really fast. If you have a shop doing your wheels, ask them to use torque wrenches when installing wheels. Torque sticks are not precise enough. Torque should be set to 80 ft. lbs and applied in criss cross pattern. 2) Some of the balancing weights may have come off, or the wheel got bent on one of the trips. |

Replying to: bigdadi118 (Mar 02, 2009 11:25 am) This problem comes and go's. It happens almost everytime I drive, but except for the speed, I cant tell when its going to happen. Are there any Honda Techs listening.... From what I've been reading this is pretty common with this vehicle, but nobody seems to have a documented cause. Thanks Mike |

Has 150K on her and I have never changed the timing belt, water pump or any of the belts for that matter. My friends tell me I'm on borrowed time. Of course, the car's running fine and it's just hard during these economic times to just pre-emptively plunk down upwards of $700 to have the belts and pump changed. Opinions from you good folks out there? -Mark
