I've got the error code on my car (Honda CR-V 2002 Mod. AUT)

My problem is that the car starts but stops after three / four seconds.
MIL light is on.

When my mechanic is using the Scan Tool, he gets the code "P1298 unknown code"

My mechanic could not find the error code (NOT a Honda mechanic). He believes it is Crankshaft sensor. And that's a $900 job :-(

But after googling the code. I ended up in this Forum Thread ;-)
If I replace the ELD (P / N 38255-S5A-003) electronic load detector.).

(Does CR-V and Civic have the same error codes?)

Will the car work normally then? Or do I have other problems.

From a tech standpoint, I think you have other problems. The ELD should not cause a no run situation, usually what will happen is the battery will continue to die and never charge. Or cause all sorts of different dash lights to be on, Battery light, SRS light, ABS, Engine etc...

But its a $30 part, and takes about 10 minutes to change. I can put up instructions if you need them. I would start with that though, you have the code, you have the problem, its sending faulty voltage to the PCM, so you don't need that.
