Persistent issues with 2005 Honda CRV SE, PLEASE READ and help!
in Engine Tuning, Upgrades and Swaps

Hello!
I am going to keep this as brief as possible. I am at a loss and desperate at this point because I heavily rely on my car for my two jobs- and I am exhausted.
This has been going on for a full year now, and I don't know what else to do.
Please bear with me, and enjoy the ride because its a long story- but I'll keep it summarized.
I have had A LOT go wrong with my 2005 Honda CRV SE.
It is my favorite car, its been my dream car for years- I know its old but I need it to last a little longer until I can afford a new car, but it shouldn't be "Dead" yet.
I have gotten second opinions, and even paid for an inspection with no improvement- here's the details.
Unfortunately, I think my mechanic may be incompetent with this issue even though hes a great guy. I JUST picked up my car Friday and two hours late it wasn't starting again. Here is everything I have had replaced on my 2005 Honda SE, so we can narrow it down. Due to this, I am at a loss.
I have been taking my car into my mechanic for a year, and once hes fixes something- the problem arises again only after a week or two weeks.
Long story short, he doesn't listen to me and im tired.
I went somewhere else and got a second opinion- I paid for an inspection. They said it only needs a new VVT solenoid, my previous mechanic just did that so I told him per the inspection, I needed it replaced. It was covered under warranty- and he replaced it. But it did not fix the problem. I asked the place I got a second opinion from if the VVT solenoid could be why its not starting properly, they said yes.
Im at a loss now- its got to be wiring or something electrical right? Especially since the problem is so inconsistent. One week it starts perfectly, with no dash lights. Then the following a bunch of dash lights come on and it doesn't start.
Im so tired, heres a few other things my mechanic and the other place I got an inspection from ruled out:
Is it an electrical issue or wiring? I notice my headlights are very bright but sometimes my dash lights seem dull. Also when it cranks but doesn't start the battery light or the oil lamp light comes on. Sometimes it turns, then dies immediately showing the battery light. Its got to be wiring I think....Im so tired please 😞
Thank you!
