CVBeeee Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 When I start my 1999 crv (5 sp manual with 160k) and go my way, when I change gear or at a stop light, the engine dies on me. This happens especially when the car is not used for 2-4 hours (ie early morning when I leave for work). I can see my RPM guage go all the way down to zero, jump up a bit .. and the engine dies). I re-start the engine (no problem starting) and go my way. After 10-15 mts of highway driving, I slow down and or stop and my idling problems disappear. What seems to be the matter? How do I fix it? Thanks :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfinitePrelude Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 might be that the cam timing is out? or its slightly stuck in gear. well many reason but its a start.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks :( Hey I run into this problem with hondas all the time. I almost always find that the base idle needs to be reset. Im not sure with the 99 but with the earler hondas, toyota, and accura you have to jumper two pins on the DLC which will throw your car into a self diagnostic mode allowing you to set your base idle. It will sound like your engine is hunting to find an rpm until you mess with the idle set screw to get it to even out. Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks :( Hiya, im no expert but ive heard of a similar problem before, sounds like it could be a problem with the throttle potentiometer this is just one of the sensors that determines the injector open time. hope you can get your problem sorted out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9524tee Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I know this might sound weird, but The 240sx is notorious for that and sometimes the problem is the crank angle sensor,, i donno why but ive seen it a few times... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotownMan Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Also check your EGR valve. I had the same "stall" problem with my Odyssey -- took off the EGR and cleaned it (dealer wanted a small fortune) and the engine runs perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
