Watched your video after my CRV stopped dead one night. It would turn over strong, battery at 12.4 but not start. The solution of the Ignition coil was the exact fix needed, and for $20 in parts, my CRV started right up, and starts up instantly. THANKS FOR SHARING THE VIDEO AND KNOWLEDGE!
Thank you. My crv did not start one morning. Checked on youtbe and your video showed up first. I ordered the part. $15 on amazon. Took a little over a half hour to fix it and now it starts. Thank you!
Hey Tom im having that problem also... When you ordered the part what do they call it so i don't get the wrong part. Mine is a 2001 CR-V.. Thanks.
Don't forget the ICM which is smaller than the coil and lives right below it. Might as well replace both for around $80 total, use Delphi/Hitachi only. Distributor rebuild for $100 if you do cap and rotor too (YEC brand). I did mine as preventative maintenance because parts are so cheap and less than an hour labor. Add NGK copper plugs and NGK blue wires for a full ignition tune up for another $60. Money very well spent!!!
Mother-in-law's 99 crv cutout on her. She just got a new distributor 3 mos. ago. Replaced coil and it started up. Coil I took out showed rainbow arcing discoloring. The aftermarket parts for these older cars has some horrible q.a.
Awesome video... very helpful, Thank you!
Exact same problem with mine as neuroleptika below can you advise any ideas on this situation ?
Thanks for your help
Just fixed my uncle's car bc this video.. thanks for the info
I have a CRV 97 with the code P1362 - Camshaft Position Sensor A no signal or Top Dead Center Sensor no signal. I did a bunch of research and it was impossible to find the camshaft/TDC sensor locally. I was told by a mechanic that the distributor needed to be replace because those sensors are in there (?!?). The local price is $450 plus labour. I'm planning to go to the car junkyard and see if i can grab one and do the work myself. I am no handyman, but this video really made it so easy to do! Thanks for doing this video! In your experiences, this code.....am I doing the right thing by changing the distributor?
I have a 01 crv that will not start ,mostly when warm until i loosen the fuel line bolt at the top of the fuel filter and crank it, will just go like a fairy , main relay and distributor changed.
Any hints?
Thanks! Your video saved me a LOT of time and money.
Holy shit dude you solved my dead car problem! You're the best😄
Excellent short video. My 2000 Honda CRV cranks with no start right now. I have compression, fuel, and spark, but did not verify the color of the spark. I believe it was yellow, not blue. Thanks.
If my crv sounds good when cranking but then won’t start that means I have spark fine right?
I was leaning towards my fuel pump being bad
@@mick2spic Spark means spark to the spark plugs... the starter turns the engine spark comes from the distributor and the coil pack.
Did you figure it out?
I got the same issue.
Spark, fuel, no start.
Crv decided to go today. I’m almost positive this is the issue. If not it’s a great place to start. Thanks so much bro
was that the porblem?
Nicky Doo pretty sure it was yeah, I replaced the distributor cap, rotor, coil pack and spark plugs. I found there was a break in a seal caused by a broken bolt on the distributor cap so there was a decent amount of corrosion on a few of the parts. This wasn’t the only video I watched that day and as per usual with cars, everyones problem is a little unique. After skateboarding around the city picking up the parts, and a few phone calls to my dad I got it figured it out within two days.
@@TylerJames420 right on man, im waiting parts in the mail and hopefully i can get mine back on the road fora camping this summer. Thanks for replying.
@@TylerJames420 replaced my distributor and main relay and car runs longer then hit has in 6 months. Still need to test drive. Thanks!
Mine wouldn't start when this cold hit. Got great fire/compression/fuel though. Any thoughts?
Wait Nathan? I didn't know you had another channel I watch all your Bimmer vids good stuff 👍
I also run Nathans MRE channel
Thanks...
Car wouldn’t start. I changed battery, fuel filter, spark plugs fuel pump. Stumbled on this video did the ignition coil and that fixed it. Easy job it you have a decent tool kit
Spart plug psv filtro and still do the dating problem no any idea what can be problem let me now you now what need change it thank s much video
good video .. a friends crv petrol is having the same starting issues. I drove 40 miles to take them home and after their plumber had finished I drove them back to their stranded Honda crv which started immediately .. AN annoying fault .. The battery and starter are functioning as normal . it has new plugs and seems to be in good order . Could an aging battery low cranking voltage cause the problem . The cranking speed seems ok.
Did it get fixed?
Had an ICM go out on my civic once. Was a huge pain in my ass to track down the problem but eventually got it figured out. However, i think my coil is starting to go bad. Do you recall how to test them with a multi meter?
+Grimfate20 Well the trick is if it still is working and has not totally gone you can take it out and clean it, when you remove it you will see that it sets in a metal holder bracket, you will notice that there will be rainbow colored arcing where its jumping spark to the metal case, i take a rag and wd40 or any penetrating oil and clean up the coil and the metal bracket and that will save the coil , also bad plug wires will blow the coil up.
Well, the story goes: car broke down, i replaced the ICM and main relay which fixed the problem, also replaced cap, rotor button, and wires. After all of that its been very hard to get the car started in colder weather, and the last time i checked the spark it was orange rather than blue.
I would take it out and clean it first, if it is shorting out so bad it is melting the coil then its trash
Thank you for this video, this fixed my CRV.
I think I have this problem. I just replaced the crank sensor because it didn't start and I got a code saying that the crank sensor was bad and it was a disconnect fault. I changed it and it started up fine. Two weeks later it won't start saying the same code. Few people told me it was the distributor but I don't want to go and buy a whole new distributor and that's not the problem I want to be sure so need a second opinion. Thanks I appreciate it.
Where is the crank sensor located at? I have a 98’ CRV.. anything helps!

I have 2003 honda that wont start stopped running on the freeway cranks but wont start
I have a 2000 Honda CRV, I already changed the starter motor and it doesn't start, it doesn't start, it doesn't even try to start at all, since it's a gearbox, it starts by pushing it, I would like an opinion, why is that?
01 CRV....stalled one day and wouldn't restart next day. Cranks but no start. Tried Starter Fluid. How do I know if the coil is bad if I have spark at all plugs and plugs, wires, distributor and rotor checkout good also? I ohm checked the coil posts and it was good also.
What did you come up with
@@gretabridges3364 I had replaced the ignition coil pack with a cheaper $13 one. It was bad out of the box, but not as bad as the original broken one. After several weeks of testing and frustration, I replaced it again with a better $40 coil because I had run out of parts to test. Problem solved. I was so pissed I had spent a few weeks of my spare time chasing and testing everything else. Lol. There's no reliable way to test those out of the vehicle. You can check resistance but that's not a total check. When under load and running they do weird things if not good quality.
Thanks for the response. Wish me luck!!!
I put in a new distributor and the car has power throughout but when I go to turn over I hear a small click and nothing. Could this be a bad coil pack on a new distributor?
Justus St. Pierre what was the problem with yours mines is click is also
Have same issue on honda crv 1999 . Changed to new battery distributor coil and rotater . Tested with sparkplug tester and have spark in all four cable . Changed fuel filter. Still strong crank but no start . Any suggestions?
Engine coolant temperature sensor. If bad it may not give the right fuel air mixture and engine won’t turn over.
If you're still around, id like to ask you about my 1st gen CR-V. Maybe you could shed some light. Motor swap. No check engine light. Running great. Cold snap/won't start. Getting air/fuel, fire/compression. Before the motor swap, I DID replace cap and rotor. Any ideas? It got negative degrees out and just wouldn't fire up. But get this! I pulled the fuel rail off to check brand new injectors and it fired and briefly ran with the fuel rail off! Starting fluid doesn't do anything. Im wondering if I got some bad fuel and it's just too cold to combust before it's flooding it? Idk.

@@richardhelit3840 It was the ECU, bubba. I just sold that car and got a new CR-V.
I replaced my distributor but still having issues.. my car randomly just didn't accelerate when I was on my way home from work.. I thought it was a fuel pump issue but it wasn't. Any suggestions?
U have to tighten up the distributor screw some more
exact thing happened to me.....
Hi can you say how do o check of there’s fuel coming to the engine
Loosen the fuel filter bolt and turn the key on if fuel comes out you have fuel up to that point
just bump engine to turn to line up screw
My 2001 CRV rd1 was working fine the night before next day went to start was cranking as normal but no fire at all. I replaced the spark plugs and still no difference. I will give this a try before the mechanic comes in a week 🤞
I’m having the same problem. My car was working fine earlier in the day, then I went to start the car and it would crank but wouldn’t fire.
we thought it was the fuel pump so we replaced it and the problem still happened
@@Karolynmariee you ever figure it out? Same problem, replaced fuel pump and nothing. Its not getting power, replacing relay today.
@@THCv3same with me. Just replaced the relay switch and still still happening
My crv runs fine if it cranks. But once it is turned off your not gonna start it again until its ready to start. It's like a horrible toddler having a tantrum. When I first noticed this it would start after a few hours. Then it went to 5 or 6 hours. Then it was more then a day. I have stopped using it trying to figure out what is going on without luck so far. I love my crv and would like to get it back on the road. Instead of just replacing the coil pack would replacing the entire distributor work just as well? That way I'm not missing anything.
Good video. My 99 was driving fine, then at a four way stop it cut out. It wouldnt start immediately, but when it did it ran fine no sputtering or lights on. Minutes later, turning again it just cut out while accelerating as i turned the corner. Started again on the 3rd try, driving straight line at 40 km/h it cut out again but came back as i pressed the gas. What do you think this could be? Thanks in advance
Mine is doing the exact same thing. What was it for yours?
I had this problem... the engine will cut out when the engine was warm. When it cooled off it would work normally. The solution was the ignition coil module which is also inside the ignition.
@@descargamusicalny my 01 CRV doing very similar and now won't start. Do you mean it was the ignition coil? I have spark at all plugs but it didn't look blue, but it was daylight...hard to tell.

ILY NATHAN 😂😂😂😱💯
I have a 1997 CRV that will cut completely off while im driving down the road Tach and speedometer will both drop. I will pull off sometimes it will start right back up and i can drive or sometimes it will take up to 3 mins to start back up. as well sometimes when it does start up I can drive 10 ft then it will cut off again. I can go down the road and turn the key in crank position and it will stay running being held turned but let off just dies. The temp where im at is in the upper 90s outside if that helps. Im stumped I need help asap if possible this is my Daily driver thank you.
I had this issue with mine and it was the ignition switch, they get worn out and lose contact while driving. Super sketchy when you're on the freeway!

Had the same problem changed the distributor and problem solved 👍👍👍
What year was your car, i have an 03 CR-V and the fuel pump is fine starter is fine i don’t know what else it could be.
Paul Celestin 2001
Bro I put in a scrapyard distributor on and the bastard back fired and snapped the teeth on my starter 😭
Ok, so I changed the entire distributor, still no start (only crank). Any thoughts on how I can get it to start? Thanks 😊
Did you figure it out have same problem
Change the starter
@@josh3_aaron959 => it was wired wrong (to the spark plugs). . . got it right since. Thanks 😊
Got my 2000 5 speed honda cr-v got problem my morning stared ok driving it like 30 m and parking it tray stared no want to start need to way like 15 to 25 m stared ogaing read slow like no power the motor put gasoline do like any power put new distribudor spar
We change distributor but no start what should we do
Get a test light and test the coil and the ignition control module. Hold the tip of the test light about a cm from the spring leading to the coil and start the car. Look for an arch. Then touch the tip of the test light to the negative terminal from the ICM and start the car. If it doesn't blink, you need a new ICM. If it does blink, you may need a new coil and/or a cap and rotor. Hope that helps.
You ever fixed the problem Samuel cause im going thru it right now
is this probably the issue if it wont start when warm? Mine starts fine the first time, if i stop and go in a store and come back, it struggles but starts, the third time i stop after driving a while it wont start unless i push the gaspedal while turning the key....1999 crv
neuroleptika I’m having this exact issue,did you ever figure it out?
KayWithTheVoice did you find out what happened? I’m having the same issue.
neuroleptika same here lol
Had a similar issue. The car would not want to restart after it was warmed up. Turned out it was the coolant temperature sensor. It had gone bad and was dumping entirely too much fuel.
@@iatotofts thanks man im going to try this as well as replace coil
I like to use the Accel performance coils. they give a better spark and a better throttle response. They're not that much more than an oem
+frank aranda That is what this one had in the video.
+Nathans DIY World
nice. I'm a die hard msd fan too. if the performance coils were not to expensive I'd get some for my e39s. Bavarian sells them
Oh yea they are crazy money, you could buy m3 cams or that price
+Nathans DIY World
good to know man. only if I played the lotto right
Yea im trying to win the powerball but since i dont buy tickets my odds are low lol
How..
Got the 2000ex5 speed the morning staring ok like 35 m later don't want to stared way like 25 m stared Igaing like no power motor put of stared back stared ok do saint thing like 20 later I put new distribudior cable. Spart plug battery stared it still doing it thank s m video
The three items you tube videos talk about are to replace the coil, ignition module and temperature sensor. None of those solved that my 2001 CR-V(A) will not start after it has been running. For example, I'll drive to store, it sits about 10 minutes, than it will not start when I come back to car. I have to wait for engine to cool down about a 1/2 hour and then it is hard to start. I have also replaced the fuel filter, fuel pump, cap, rotor, plugs, and wires. I own three 2001 CR-Vs. I even swapped out the difference between CR-V(A) and CR-V(D). No help. I am now being told it may be the crank shaft position sensor, or even the cam shaft position sensor. The CR-V(A) I am working on has 190k miles. CR-V(D) only has 71k miles. CR-V(A) had a burnt valve and I had to have that replaced about 2 years ago. I bought it that way cheap and paid a Honda mechanic to fix it. I am still wondering if there is a connection to that work - but I doubt it.
If you're still around, id like to ask you about my 1st gen CR-V. Maybe you could shed some light. Motor swap. No check engine light. Running great. Cold snap/won't start.

My 2008 Honda CRV would turn over but not start. I let it rest then started again and had to give it gas to start. Then it did, still not sure what it is.
09 crv here. this just happened to my wife. we just left the car in the parking space. curious if you were able to figure out what needed to be done to fix it?
This just happened to my 2007 CRV did you find out what the USA was?
I have same problem..any info on this
😊
i can't for the life of me understand what you're saying after you say if you buy the coil pack locally its a $100....ok yep i see that, but if you buy it from...!?!? its $30?? it sounds like youre saying if you buy it from your "fee bed" its $30. help? its @ 2:35
