    I can only guess that it is the mix, or ethanol, or something. It is weird and I already wasted $300 trying to fix it.

    Yikes. Ask on honda-tech or SuperHonda (though SH has been overrun by spam lately), people are always helpful there. Do you have the shop manual?

    Also ask on Prelude Power.

    Have you tried changing the fuel filter?

    There isn't a fuel filter in the CRV, weird as that sounds. That was my first guess too.

    Thank you for the links, I have been forced to search forums for the last several issues I have had with these cars and all of these were on the list. Unfortunately solid info is really challenging to get and I am, after nearly twenty years of driving, finding repairs of vehicles eight years or older untenable. I think I could have gotten us into two newer cars with fewer problems last year if I had a couple thou to work with, and I spent that couple thou on these cars that still don't give me enough confidence to take them very far out of town.

    That is kind of weird. My next guess would be the injectors then. Try a can of seafoam in the tank and see if that helps.

    God dammit. I got 2 options for work tomorrow:

    I can wear the same underwear for 3 days now, or wear the piece of shit silk underwear that rides up.

    The underwear is only 3 days old. No need to panic yet.

    Seafoam works great, along with some higher octain gas from the right sources. One of my usual expectations is I shouldn't have car problems without additives or select gasoline providers. With my older cars this was all a sign that they were getting too old for me to maintain economically.

    Its an even larger decline in territory if you start the map in 1618-1945.

    Tanegashima lives!

    Did something happen on the world stage that has gotten us thinking about European borders again? I basically failed my last self inflicted geography because I have failed to keep up.

    Just Russia expanding territory through propaganda and state approved television news while most major religions are diminishing but
    Islam is on the rise, resulting in a creepy comparable situation of a pre-1945 world before shit hit the fan, aka World War III might be
    just around the corner. so expect nuclear bombing and global map changes.


    Or we might just watch some more reality tv and forget all about it, that's the joy of living in today's age..

    My mother-in-law is from part of the the green bit, Silesia. She 12 when the Russians came and we know how friendly they were with girls of all ages. Yeah.......

    It keeps looking like the Ukraine will either calm down or explode but instead it just keeps smouldering. What we need is Zombie Reagan..
