Replying to: newdriver2 (Apr 17, 2009 12:08 pm) Try turning the ignition to "ON" but don't turn it all the way to crank for 3 or 4 seconds. That gives the fuel system time to pressurize (and time for the dash lights to go out?). You may even be able to hear the pump run. If that helps it could indicate that your fuel system isn't holding pressure like it should. Some cars just seem to start easier with this trick though.

Hi folks, I just got a brand new CRV a week ago.It is LX AWD. I was told that this is a real-time AWD meaning normally it is still under 2-wheel drive mode only when the vehicle detected the needs then it will switch to all-wheel drive. I am just curious how do our driver know if it is under all-wheel drive? Seems that there will be no lights on the panel to indicate that?! Do we just judge by feeling?   Also is there a way to manually start the all-wheel drive mode? Say I want the vehilce to be operated under all-wheel drive mode no matter what the road condition is!~~~ Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Apr 23, 2009 8:40 am) isellhondas (Apr 23, 2009 12:24 pm) circlew (Apr 23, 2009 12:50 pm)

Replying to: ohbaobei (Apr 22, 2009 3:46 pm) CRV's do not have "all" wheel drive.   They have "Real Time" four wheel drive.   If slippage occurs, power is transferred to the rear wheels. It is seamless and the driver has no control over this.   It works like a charm too. I was thankful to have it during this past crappy winter! Replies to this message: circlew (Apr 23, 2009 12:50 pm)

The green light behind the D on my transmission indicator started blinking on my way home from work. When I got home, I checked the manual and found out that that indicated a possible transmission problem. My husband checked the fluid and it smelled burned. My CR-V has 113,000 miles on it and has not been driven abusively. It has been through the routine maintenance, and I had the 100,000 mile check completed. My local repairman looked at it and suggested that there might be more problems than just changing the fluid. Has anyone else had problems like this? Suggestions on trying a 'reputable' transmisssion shop or my Honda dealer?

Replying to: marsh56 (Apr 28, 2009 4:37 pm) I think the trans fluid change schedule is 105K or 120K. Has this been done? It's a pretty easy drain-fill-drain-fill process. Dealer charges about $80 for it. Fluid with 100K miles will smell little naturally. I would go to the dealer, they see 10 CRV's a week whereas the shop see 1 a month. Think it was / is just low in fluid? Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Apr 29, 2009 8:47 am) tomk17 (Apr 29, 2009 10:12 am) blueiedgod (Apr 30, 2009 8:57 am)

Replying to: tomk17 (Apr 28, 2009 4:50 pm) The suggested interval is only good for "normal" conditions, such as: no idling, no stop and go, no freezing weather, no hot weather....   Generally, ATF fluid in a Honda should be replaced every 30,000 miles with Honda ATF Z-1, only!!!!!   Honda recommends draining, refilling, driving 5 miles, draining, refilling, driving 5 miles, draining, refilling for 90% fluid replacement.

Replying to: blueiedgod (Apr 29, 2009 8:47 am) Changing ATF at 30,000 miles is a bit over the top. I contend "normal" conditions include some idling and stopping. What it does not include towing for example. OK changing it at 60-80K miles would be acceptable if you want but I had no trouble running Hondas to 100K on the ATF and I'll bet many others have as well. Nothing wrong with changing it early, just a waste of money IMO just like changing oil at 3K. Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Apr 30, 2009 8:57 am)
