Check engine light & car started operating in limp mode(2700rpm limit). Diagnostic reader said #1 cylinder cam follower fault; VTEC spool valve replaced. |
| 114000 mi | Got a CE lamp; pulled the codes P0341 (camshaft pos sensor) and P0301 (cyl1 misfire). These K-series engines do have chain-tensioner issues but the trouble seems to have been resolved via the addition of 400ml of oil. |
| 163500 mi US $125 |
Had a spark plug come out while driving on the highway. Car was drivable, but was down on power (duh) and *loud*. Plug was lost, coil was destroyed, and the threads were wrecked. Also damaged were the plastic coil cover and the underhood insulation. After buying a new plug and coil and discovering that the new plug would not thread in I bought the Helicoil spark plug thread repair kit. Seems to be working fine. I was the last one in there, replaced the plugs at least 30k miles ago, so this was pretty surprising. Glad I didn't need to take the head off! |
| 165000 mi US $10 |
After I lost a plug (see last repair) the CR-V began using oil at a truly alarming rate. It had always burned a little, maybe 1qt/3000 miles, but after the blown-plug incident it was well over 1qt/1000 miles. I tried Seafoam to see if the oil control rings were gunked up but had no success. A compression test didn't reveal anything either- 180-185psi across all 4 holes. Sold the car, bought a 4Runner. |
