HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 янв 2016
- If your Honda is cutting out and you then have difficulty starting it could be a faulty Ignition Control Module.Do you get the engine management light come on just before it cuts out?This little unit may need replacing.If you have a cutting out problem but can start again okay it could be an ignition switch fault covered in my other video here:
• Honda CRV Mk1 1997 - 2...
If you want to skip to the start of the unit removal go to 2:20
After 2 weeks of cutting out my Ignition control module failed completely and would not start the car.
Get the fault code read and see if it's a primary ignition fault.
This job takes less than an hour and is quite straight forward to do.
Possible compatible part numbers for this unit and year (1997-2001) of CRV (non Vtech engine models I believe) :
BECK/ARNLEY 180-0218
LUCAS PART NUMBER DAJ904
UNIPART NUMBER PEIM8130
INTERMOTOR NUMBER 15750
also fits:
FITS CIVIC IV 1.5 & 1.6 1988-1991
CONCERTO 1990-1992
CRXI 1987-1991
Thanks for watching.

Our 1999 has over 325K miles now and this problem has appeared. It randomly shuts off. Let it rest a minute and it fires right back up and continues down the road. I knew immediately what it was b/c I used to work in an auto parts store. I watched this video as a refresher. Thank you - just what I needed. Incidentally my coworker's gen 1 CRV started doing the same thing. His is running rough too. He already did the task and it solved his car's problem. I've been procrastinating due to several other tasks on my list of chores.
My 2001 CR-V was having this issue, would be able to go for 15 minutes and it would stall out. Thankfully found this video to explain how it all works and got the new part installed. Thank you for the detailed walk through🙏🏼🙏🏼
After many painful frustrated days of trying to diagnose the problem, i eventually came across your youtube video, thank you, it was my Ignition control module. But i could not get the same module part number and tne parts place gave me a replacement part, i think its from a Honda civic, seem to have cured the intial problem, but now the CRV rins very rough, but glad i managed to isolate the problem, tks again
Thank you for this excellent video. After 270k miles, mine stalled yesterday and today. I have a strong feeling this is the problem.
I’d advise anyone to shop wisely and find a deal. On Amazon, a new distributor with cap and rotor was $59 with free prime shipping. Ordered Sat night, delivered Monday. Car running 20 minutes later. Hope it’s good for another 100k now.
This issue is caused by overheating of the module- I just removed mine, put thermal paste inbetween the heat sink and module, and reassembled - and it fixed my random shutting off problem
Thank you for posting this!!!
You're welcome
Nice.
This stupid little cheap part ($12 eBay vs $150 in some parts stores) cost me 4 months of down time and many hours frustrated! Lol
Mine would run for 3+ minutes and then instantly die. Sometimes it would sputter right after it cut out if I left the key fully on. It would restart 1 to 3 more times and do same quicker and quicker as it heated up. Then eventually would not restart until several hours later after it cooled down, or sometimes next day.
I checked the Ignition switch or relay first. It looked and tested good. I think my ICM was ruined when my spark got suppressed by leaking spark plug hole gaskets. 3 of 4 holes had filled up with oil and I think we're choking the spark signal. So I fixed those also and replaced cap and rotor and coil as well. Plugs and wires were still very good and newer.
So if you have a spark problem be aware it can ruin your ICM or your coil also, as mine did.
hey thanks for your RUclips channel I've been working on my car for about a week now and when I heard your symptoms the lights came on went that's what I need to replace and I just replaced my ECM and car works perfect it cut out for no reason and I thought it was my ECU and I replace that I got a refurbished one but nope it just would cut out for no reason but thanks you were a big help
That's great John.Thanks. Glad you managed to fix it. All the best, Mike.
Thank u. For the video...it help me and I was able to fix my problem..it was the icm...just like u mentioned...cost me about 60.00 dollars..and easy to replace....( my car a 2000 crv would start and drive normal but would shut off entire car.let it rest and start rite back up. ) this video is very true..thnxs
That's good glad you fixed it. Best wishes
Mine is doing the same thing. I will be replacing this in the next few days.
Yes thank you, I think this is the problem with my crv 👍👍👍
Great video very helpful .
Thank you for the video it will really help us out.
So glad you remembered the thermal compound, I hope the motor stays reliable for you.
Yes it's been good since this repair thanks
Can you do a video about changing the entire ignition key lock? Or have you done a video about that already? I like the ignition switch video. It was easy to follow.
Yes very informative I have stop /go problem I got replacment distributor.... same problem after a day or so my mechanic had replaced a relay 2 weeks previous I've ordered a ignition switch new from car parts shop... I live in feutiventura great place.... car parts /spares can be a problem to get if your not an Internet user any way see if ignition switch does the trick. Thanks ray
Hi Ray. Yes similar symptoms with a faulty ignition switch ,I've covered that in another video. Good luck hope you get it sorted.
Spent almost 300 US on parts .. and im 1000% sure its go ih ng to be this.. thanks for this video! Better believe im goin to hit ebay up for that $10 ICM
Good luck..
@@theyareouttogetme1 turns out it was my O2 sensor/ ignition coil
Same symptoms here. I'm going to replace my ignition control module.
you are the BEST thank you:)
Thanks my friend
Can also repair it by changing the whole distributor as well.
For anyone else looking for the part many stores go by a different part name
Ignition control module or
Igniter
Thank you so much for getting back to me! When the car shuts off, it will restart and shut back off immediately if I only wait a few minutes to restart it, but it stays on for me to drive around a bit if I gave it at least 10 minutes. Does that indicate anything particular you can think of
Hello, first, thank you for a very good and detailed video. I especially appreciated the you detailing the symptoms. For about eight months my engine would suddenly shut off. If I waited 5 or ten minutes it would restart. Now it has completely died, so I am thinking it is either the ICM or the coil. Can you please comment to say whether the aftermarket brand ICM is still functioning okay for you. I am debating on whether to spend $100 for aftermarket or $160 from the Honda dealer. Cheers mate, from the US.
Christopher Cole Hi and thanks for your comment. Yes it's still working fine and I went for the cheapest ICM I could find. Good luck with your repair. Mike
Thanks Mike. I appreciate you getting back to me. I tried just replacing just the ICM, but one of the two mounting screws stripped out. My repair shop ended up putting a new aftermarket distributor in it which came with the ICM and coil pack installed for $270.00. Plus labor it came to $440. Ouch. I told them it might be the ICM, but I think it took them too long in labor to do it. Honda only sells the ICM and coil pack, no more distributors. But their distributors used to be sold minus the ICM and coil pack installed anyway. I'm keeping my old distributor and will replace the ICM and coil pack and keep it as a spare. Cheers
Hi Christopher.Sorry to hear about the stripped thread on the mounting screw, that's bad luck.Glad you got it sorted in the end though and hope the Honda runs trouble free. Best wishes, Mike.
Got no fault codes, but that's what it was. It finally cut out when someone was with me and I could check for spark. D-E-D, dead. BTW, tried buying a cheap one off ebay, it arrived deader than mine. Spend a bit, get a good one.
Hi Thanks for the video What is the address of the replacement part you found . I have tried E Buy, without any luck
Merry Bolton Hi. Please see the compatible parts list in the description. I bought a spare one off ebay a few weeks ago so hopefully you will find one. Thanks
where in the UK were you able to get the ICM I have an Honda Stepwagon 2000.... having this problem... the mechanic says I need to replace the ICM.
Hi. I bought my ICM off eBay the seller was naesltd. Not sure if this ICM will be suitable for your vehicle,you will have to check with them. Good luck with your repair
Hey the green wire thats separate from the 3 on the actual module is missing on my car is that normal for some vehicles?
I HAVE REPLACE WITH MSD STILL GOT PROBLEM..WHEN IT TIME TO VTEC KICK ON ITS SEEMS TO CUT MY IGNITION..THEN THE CAR DIE AND CANT START....CAN U SOLVE IT??
Thank you for this one as well.
I replaced my distributor recently hoping that was the problem. Is the ignition control module part of the distributor assembly or separate.?
Hi yes it's part of the distributor.
I know my switch is bad, kept on cutting out, but now it wont start at all. I hope I dont have to replace this Ignition Control Module as well. Do you think it does? Any way of knowing for sure?
Check you've connected everything back okay.
Thank you for the valuable video, my CRV 2000 have a misfire. I think it coming form that coul. I'm in Sri Lanka. I need that coil, so how can get one, in my country it is not available, please help,
Hello. Sorry I'm not sure how you would get one. Do you have a Honda dealership or maybe a scrap (breakers) yard where you can get one from an old CRV? Good luck
Do you get it from ebay
@@chamathwijemanna2941 I did back then. Not sure if they are still on eBay?
I've seen ignition control units from $14 to $150 and I'm wondering if there's any difference? You said you paid about 11 eus?
Cooldude 22 Hi yes I wondered the same but I went for the cheapest one and its still working today
“Engine would suddenly shut off. If I waited 5 or ten minutes it would restart.”
I was having the exact same problem with my 2002 CRV, had the distributor replaced. The problem went away for over a month and it just started doing the same thing again. What do you think?
Hi. It would be unusual to have two ignition control modules go in such a short period of time so the problem could be elsewhere. Good luck hope you get it sorted.
What was that noise when you started the CrV ?? My car does the same noise when starting it's driving me insane 😂
Hi mate, where did you buy this ignition module, I cant find it on ebay, there not compatible with crv.. Thanks heaps
edward waky hi. I think I got my module from a dealer called " naesltd" good luck

@@casmyoung I need that part pls
@@kizitoronald3701 Amazon still has them.
My mechanic said the brand new aftermarket control module DOES not work for long. It wouldn't even crank my car... He said OEM is the way to go. Any thoughts?
OEM is better but more expensive. If it didn't fire after fitting there's either something else wrong or they fitted a bad ICM. Good luck
Why not remove the distributor to do this. It's a lot easier to do this with the whole distributor in your hand. It's only 3 bolts to take it off.
Will it cause it to idle low
i'm confused? You have a B20A or B20Z series engine, right?I think every mk1 CRV has it? How can you fit that ICM when everywhere online it says you need a different one for B20? Are they lying to sell us the more expensive ones? It's 80 Euros for the cheapest CRV module that i could find online....
Hello friend, do you have the link to the seller of this part?. Kind regards. Paul.
Hi, no sorry don't think the supplier is trading anymore. A search of the part numbers should help you locate the item.
Thanks, but I had to take a motion sickness tablet so I could finish the video. 🤢
It's this the sensor crank?
Hey did this fix you problem??
Hi yes it did.
Great and thanks for the video
My CR-V will drive fine until it gets warm then will cut out. Is this what yours did? Like you say if I leave it sitting for 10+ minutes it starts up but will then die again shortly after if I try to drive it.
Hi Sounds like it could be the ICM. I have had to recently replace this ICM again on my CRV as my car had trouble starting and replacing the ICM cured the fault. Good luck.
You have a bad distributor O ring. thats why you have the leak. its a cheap repair like 3 bucks OEM
What is no of error code ?
FuriousHondaBoy sorry I don't know what the actual code was,the garage just told me it was a primary ignition fault
ok, thanks
Try to buy car for my friend and found one with low cost but engine won't star, owner say is sometime work and sometime just can't start but when start everything is ok. So we think to give him low bid and fix car if this is same malfunction.
Usually Error Code 15
10 for ignition switch, that too cheap man, there is more than 80 percent chance may not last very long, there are some good brand like Delphi, 50 dollar denso if you find one, standard motor product 90 to 100 dollar with heat sink. But you may get lucky and last two to three years, like me: I bought the whole distributor from Amazon for just 60 dollar, and it lasted two years more than 30000 miles, it could last more than that but the rotor gone bad and I couldn't remove the screw that hold it, the head screw ripped off even I used good screw driver, and the screw doesn't want to move, then I gave up on it, I should have removed the rotor screw when it got it and put some antiseize lube, and the problem would never happen.
Don't strip the screws on that heatsink...
Would have been useful showing the cables get connected... Not super helpful for me.
That is not what a 2001 Honda CRV looks like
It says 1997 in the description
