99 CR-V Won't start by fibrofatigued

If anyone could help here, I would really appreciate it!
A few days ago my husband noticed some clutch problems. He consulted the manual and our favorite shade tree mechanic and was told to add fluid. He did that, but the car wouldn't start. We thought it was from sitting in the cold without running for a few days (it's been very cold here), but it still wouldn't start that afternoon. The clutch feels fine now, and the engine "wants" to turn over, but won't. I don't think it's the battery because the engine makes noise and dash lights and everything come on. We really haven't had any trouble with this car for the 6 years we've had it. So we are really stumped.

Is the check engine light on?
 
When were the valves adjusted last time?

We had the valves replaced a couple years ago. No dash lights have been coming on. We do all it's regular maintenance at the dealership. We are now thinking it's the clutch because when he went to try and start it again it won't go into gear. I think we are going to have to have it towed to a mechanic . . .

1998 Honda CR-V Suddenly Dies by freeface

1998 CR-V that I bought new, 151K, automatic. Problem is that I'm going down the highway and suddenly I hear a click and the engine cuts off.
Or I put on the turn signal and the engine cuts off.
Starts right away everytime and I can go for days without it happening then it will happen 2,3 or 4 times in one day.
Any ideas? Of course, when my mechanic drives the car, it never happens.
Is it okay to put the car in neutral while it is going 50-60 mph, restart and put back in drive?
Thanks.

You can probably do that but I recommend getting to the root of the problem. From your description, it sounds like an electrical circuit breaker in the engine is being tripped. This may be a problem with the circuit breaker itself or some other electrical problem (overloading, short circuit, etc.) triggering it.

1997 Honda CRV stalling when warm. by marcuscrv

I have a 1997 honda crv with 195,000 miles on it. The car recently has been giving me problems. When the car is driven for a while and it warms up it stalls. The first time this happened, the car started right back up, however the last three times it happened, the car just cranks. Then when the car cools down it starts. I have had the recall done on the ignition switch at 145,000. I had similar stalling problems, but it always started right back up. This time it usually takes 30 min to start up again. I never have had the fuel filter replaced because the dealer told me that honda does not recommend it. The cap and rotor were changed 25000 miles ago. I am wondering if it could be a faulty coil or another ignition switch or the fuel pump? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, Marc

MY CRV WILL NOT IDLE WHEN PUT IN DRIVE OR IN PARK. REPLACED THE IAC VALVE, WATER TEMP SENSOR, THERMAL VALVE AND MAP SENSOR. TRIED TO ADJUST TIMING, IDLE AND RESET COMPUTER WITH FUSE 7A. WITHOUT RESULTS. I HAVE POSTED RECENTLY WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO FIND THE ANSWER ON THIS WEB IN SPITE OF BEING NOTIFIED BY E-MAIL THAT AN ANSWER IS AVAILABLE. NEED BETTER WEB AND LINK ICONS.
