I own a 1999 CRV LX and it looks like I have to replace the Catalytic Converter. It seems fairly simple to do myself, and I wanted to know if anyone has done...
Yes it is rather easy if it is clamped in, mine is welded in place. Does your state have a smog inspection you failed and that is why you want to replace it?...
Whew, just changed the oil - put in Amsoil xl, and discovered what a pain changing the oil filter. Is there an easier way. I did it from underneath. I like to...
Sid, It is a pain isn't it! Filling the oil filter will not work as you know and it is so small and fills so quickly it most isn't worth the trouble anyway. ...
Thanks, mine is clamped (bolted) in place. The problem actually began with my check engine sensor light. Diagnostics pointed to catalytic/o2 sensor. Tested the...
Mark, That is an expensive change. If your state doesn't require it disconnect the sensor and let it rattle. It is the string of beads within the converter...
The first time I changed my oil filter on my '04 I made the same mistake. Now I reach in from the right wheelwell & it is a lot easier to do. Also use Amsoil...
To follow up on what Ed said I invested a few bucks in a pair of those Drive up ramps and they make life just very easy when working on my CRV or my old Dodge ...
Thank you, I used the Amsoil oil and filter, where can I get a KN? Also did you need a filter wrench? Sid ... From: Edward Kilian To: hondacrv@yahoogroups.com ...
10 Year Review ... Mungo544, thanks for sharing, good observations all around. We just went over the 10 year mark in our 1997 CRV, 145,000 miles, purchased in...
Rick, Glad you like the CR-V. Do you remember what it costs to do the struts, mounts and links? I have a 98 with 97000 on it and it does seem to sway a...
Hi Chuck, It's been a while since the the job was done, but I did take advantage of a seasonal shock/strut special at the local tire shop. It would have been...
Hi my name is Monica and I live in Columbus Ohio and I have a 2004 CRV and this past Wednesday I found out that it needed a canister vent shut valve, I found...
Thanks Rick for the info. I have a pretty good mechanic who could probably tell if he thinks they are bad or not. I never thought about till I read your...
Since new, now 5500 miles the transmission feels like it wont upshift below 30 mph. Around town when you decelerate in traffic it feels like it is in a lower...
Hi folks, I'm finally having to give up my 2000 VW Jetta TDI [with a greasecar kit]....but at least I get to look now for an standard 1999- 2000 used CR-V! ...
Hello all im new to the group, i have a '98 CRV with 95000, anyway i want to change the cabin air filter i just need a little help locating it and a few tips...
I can tell you where one located in 2004. I cannot imagine it would be located in different spot... but I may be wrong. In 2004 the in-cabin filter (actually,...
pj, Have a look at this link from one of our members, H. Dao http://ifornet.com/hondacrv_acfilter.htm I think you'll find what you need there. Good luck ! ... ...

Well after 81,000 miles my check engine light has come on for the first time. The CRV is running just fine as far as I can tell but here is what the dealer...
huh, i would find a friend with the computer and check it yourself...i have a light on my 98 thats emmissions. i had 92,000 the first time it came on, it was...
PJ, My emission light just came on after 170,000. Its the light that the owners manual says may be a loose gas cap. Gas cap was not loose, so I'm thinking...
I'd like to have a response to this question as well. My 2006 has the exact same thing. Feels like it's dragging up hills when it should be coasting. I...
Bill, But in my case I went to the Honda dealer and they checked the error message and told me it was a misfire on cylinder 3. They went on to say this was a...
August, I have just returned from Advance Auto Parts where I got a scan. This is what turned up: "Vehicle Scanned 1997 Honda DTC (Codes) P1038 O2 Sensor ...
Dorothy, a friend that does not have a Honda suggested to see how it feels with the vehicle stability control button turned off. Try it , I will and report...
