Please help me with my 1997 honda CR-V problem
Hi everyone, I have a problem with my 1997 CRV with 90k miles on it
We have had some heavy rain over the last couple days, I went to my car today and it started up no problem, drove down the hill and did a u-turn, all of a sudden the engine sould not accelerate very well. It began to shake a shudder but not stop. I was able to gain speed but very slowly. Then the Check Engine light came on. I quickly pulled over and parked. I found that my oil was down to 1 QT or less!?!?!?! What happened to my oil? I filled it back up. Whne i started the car in park and reved the engine it moved smooth, but as soon as i put it in gear the enging once again began to shudder on acceleration, or lack of acceleration i should say. It's still raining so i havene't been able to do any other checks to it and i don;t have the tool to check the error code from the check enginge light. When i stopped the car again and put it in park it continued to have a rublimg shaking when accelerating. The enging however isn't making any rattiling or pinging noises. I was wondering if this could possibly be a sparking issue or if it is probably something worse? I'm worried there may be a blown head gasket from the lack of oil or that may have done worst things. My oil Pressure light never turned on though. Please any help would be appretiated. Please respond with any information as i can very little online and i can't find my Chilton book. Dan Butler |

Most likely the mositure is causing the ignition or fuel injector problems. Buy a fuel injector cleaner and pour in the gas tank or get Chevron gas which contains this. Should correct the problem. |

(each time you fill with gas). Perform the 'lamp check' to be sure any warning lights aren't burnt out. You're due for a valve adjustment too, but that has different symptoms. Do it every 30,000 miles, when you're changing the Dual Pump Fluid in the rear differential. Meantime, a full tank of gasohol might clear up the sputtering, or at least run a can of injector cleaner thru it seasonally. 'Curly' |
