I've tried searching and found nothing.

My father-in-law is letting me borrow his 97 CRV for the next 2 months on the grounds that I fix it.

Here's what's happening:
He says that when he is driving to and from work (around 25 miles one way) it will just turn off as in it will completely shut off. He says all he does is pop it in neutral and restart it and it starts right up and keeps going.

He says it usually does it twice going to work and twice on the way home.

He says there is no check engine light coming on.

I haven't had a chance to check it out myself yet, but will this weekend.

Its a 1997 automatic AWD CRV.

Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be???????

Thanks,
Jesse

 

I would have it checked for codes. It's odbII so it will be easy to do. Just because the CEL doesn't come on doesn't mean no codes. Hopefully this will get you in the right direction. Also, See if there are any manufacture recalls for it.

 

thanks,

Jesse
