#19 of 23 98 CRV Just Quit by chocolate_bill Sep 08, 2008 (6:38 am)
My wife was driving our 'V a couple of days ago and while going about 40 mph everything but the stereo suddenly shut down... engine, gauges, turn signals, etc. She turned the car off then back on and everything went back to normal, and ran fine. Since it all imediately went back to normal it doesn't sound like an alternator or battery, and the ground is good (figured it was anyway since the radio stayed on). So, what could have come loose that would affect all (or most; some things weren't on, like the headlights) of the electrical system except for the stereo? Also, I'm curious if this is in any way related to a P0301 code (cyl #1 missfire) that I have been troubleshooting that seems to be electrical in nature as well (yes, the valves are fine). I'm wondering if there might be an intermittent open that could affect the ignition and have been causing these missfires as well as this sudden shut-down? Whatever this most recent episode was, however, it did not trigger a code. Replies to this message: blueiedgod (Sep 18, 2008 5:57 am)

Replying to: chocolate_bill (Sep 08, 2008 6:38 am) Go to Honda.com, follow the link to Honda owner's link. Register your car online using the VIN number. Once you are done, you should be able to see if the ignition switch recall has been performed. If not, then take it to Honda and they will replace the ignition switch for free.   Good luck.

Replying to: bigbev (Jul 28, 2008 3:38 pm) I have 2000 CR V with 131,000mi. Now it has a serious starting problems. It began when I was driving home, while on the road it started to idle really low and would not accelerate faster than 40 MPH. I managed to get it home. Next morning I tried to start it, but it runs really rough and idle very low. Now it doesn't run at all. It tried to start when crank, but won't run. I have good sparks in all four wires, Timing is right now and there's fuel.   Can it be the coil, or ignitor module, but sparks are really bright.    I've ran out of ideas and start to think how little I know about cars.   Any help would be appreciated,   Garagetuner1 Replies to this message: garagetuner1 (Nov 13, 2008 1:33 pm)

The cadilladic converter was so clogged that it wouldn't allow any exhaust to pass through the tail pipe. I installed a new one, and I even adjusted all the valves and did the tune up again. Now it runs smooth.   Garagetuner1
