My two pennies worth: I think the filters possibly provide some protection for the heater and AC. The heater core and evaporator have cooling fins closely fit together. Too much bug and dust build up will clog the cooling spaces over time and cause the system to run hotter. Not to mention reduced air flow into the cabin.

I have allergies, so I replace filters every year with either OEM or Bosch ones (HEPA).
 
I also use 3M Filtrette furnace filters and use HEPA air purifiers at home.
 
Filters not only protect me from pollen, but also protect the evaporator and the blower from the gunk accumulating on them and making them less effective and eventually killing them.

yeah, you just paid for a PA state inspection that should be done in the state of your living a bout once every year or so. LOLz, hope they didn't rape you too bad!

Mystery stall in a 1997 CR-V by roger821

Hi everybody,
 
I just had everyone's worst nightmare happen to me today, although it could have happened in a worse place than it did. I have a 1997 CR-V, well maintained and with nearly 150K miles on it. It has been running great until today. It's no longer my daily driver, but the battery is less than a year old and I've not had any problems at all. I used it today to go to Home Depot. It started up right away, and I got about 1/2 mile from my house, with it running smoothly.
 
I stopped at a light, and when the light turned green, I hit the gas pedal, it went about 5 feet and then the engine just cut off. Dead as a doornail, without any mechanical noises or anything. After I got it through the intersection I was in, I tried to restart it, the engine turned normally but it just would not catch. It just acts like it ran out of gas, which I assume is the fuel system (pump/relay/filter). I had the CR-V towed home, and just tried to start it, but it just turns without starting up. I already had the ignition switch recall replaced, so it should not be that (but you never know).
 
I've seen a couple of comments on this forum which talked about rotors or ignition coils. Besides the fuel system, what else could have caused this? I'm open for any root cause, especially if it's going to cost less than the fuel pump (which a Honda dealer just said is 2 labor hours at $110/per, plus a $400 part, and tax).
 
Please help! Thanks...

remmeber CRV fires by theriver

I am sure many people remember the CRV fires a few years ago. Some may also remember there was a class action suit brought about. It just got settled. According to the settlement:
 
"Honda will deposit 500,000 into an interest bearing account monthly to compensate any uninsurable or unreimbursablemimbursible loss caused by the oil filter"
 
These were 03 and 04's as I remember -

Yeah, got it in the mail too. Honda owners, all of us, get $500,000 in an escrow account to coverr un covered expenses, such as insurance deductibles and such.
 
the 3 lawyers on the other hand get, $750,000 in fees and $250,000 in running expenses, for a total of $1,000,000. I think Lawyers are the only ones who win, since we are all going to pay for it with high purchase prices and Honda's unwillingness to do good will warranties.

Define "well maintained".
 
When was the timing belt replaced?
Valves adjusted?
Cap and rotor?
Plugs?
Fuel filter?

Man, you hit that one on the head. Businesses are unwilling to to take risks due to litigation. Doctors have to cover their ass every time they see a patient. Teachers are becoming afraid of even just patting a little student on the head or back for fear of a lawsuit. No one can be honest or open any more. There seems to be something fundamentally wrong with a society and economy that has a far greater number of law schools and lawyers compared to medical schools. Now it appears the current administration attorney general is considering legal action against the CIA and military members for actions they took during the heat of combat! I truly worry where all this litigation and excess legal action is taking the country and our children's future. It has a potentially huge chilling effect on our ability to compete in the world and innovate, as well as draining off a lot of money that could be used better elsewhere. Litigation is not a free lunch, it has a very real cost to the economy and the country. Unfortunately, too many political leaders and Congressional members are lawyers, so I don't see things getting better until we've really dug a deep hole full of doo-doo.
