Re: 2005 CRV Will not start

Do a compression/leakdown test just to make sure nothing internally is damaged, check over the grounds they can also cause a no-start

Re: help adjusting manual trans cable.

It's all hydraulic, did you centre the clutch? Tranny's go on these car's all the time so don't be suprised if something is ****ed inside the tranny

Re: need help what to install on d17 for more power im new to this

Re: Car does not start 1 out of 10 times runs perfect

Correct gentleman, it is a main relay, it's fairly common on 01-05 civic's. Does it not start on days be after/during rain/snow/frost/dew?

Re: 02 civic ex wasting oil

Re: 01 civic starting problem, sputters alot.

Blinking is a sign of a misfire, my guess would be spark plugs or fuel injector's if you already changed the coil's.

Re: Just bought a EMII!!!

Don't get cam's or any valvetrain part's just stay OEM and enjoy the reliability. If you want a faster car buy something else or spend the $ on a turbo kit (i recommend the first choice!)

Re: '03 civic ex won't stay on after timing belt replacement

your timing is out, I wouldn't start the engine again until you check and double check the timing mark's line up. How do you miss something? do you not remember what you removed?

Re: 2002 Honda CRV reliable?

wow good post man, the compressor did fail and he did have it replaced fairly recently. So other than oil change's there pretty solid? The mileage is crazy but if I get even 75k miles or even 150k...
