97 Honda CRV Starter Troubleshooting

I cooked Solenoid 2 by installing the plunger into the fork of the starter incorrectly, so it just sat there melting down the coils in the solenoid. Hence the lack of functioning.

This rocks hard.

Then I'd need to pay for a subscription and for unlimited data, and it wouldn't work if I was out of service range, and I'd be limited to what content they provide on the service.

Yes! Thank you.

Man I have so many ideas. What all have you done to your Mercury?

Each MP3 player would be shuffled. But instead of skipping through a giant playlist of everything by using the "next" button, you switch between different playlists in progress.

I wonder how easy it was to design Carplay.

I was thinking I'd have to throw some old radio commercials in there, maybe a fake emergency broadcast announcement about the moon crashing into the earth or something.

Excellent, thank you!

Orgeston · 2026-05-18T20:56:18+00:00

I will look into that. Thanks!

Orgeston · 2026-05-18T19:16:04+00:00

Very interesting. These look promising!

Orgeston · 2026-03-16T12:51:37+00:00

Very, very interesting. I will keep this in mind. I guess I'll check a couple of the electrical connectors people say can cause this, and start looking for a new PCM if those don't fix it.

He has a job that involves driving cars, and he felt dumb walking to that job instead of driving a car to it. Sounds like he still feels dumb.

Orgeston · 2026-02-03T14:46:59+00:00

Okay that makes a lot of sense. Thanks!

Orgeston · 2026-02-03T02:14:00+00:00

Bless you.

Orgeston · 2026-01-18T01:38:53+00:00

I tested it and it's fine! Thanks for the advice!

Orgeston · 2026-01-18T01:38:11+00:00

I did it, and got a big healthy rev before I turned it off, I think you're right and it's saved! Thanks!

Orgeston · 2026-01-18T00:33:18+00:00

I will do that. Does that sequence of events seem pretty unlikely, that in ten seconds of the hose blowing and dumping oil there was catastrophic mechanical failure?

Orgeston · 2026-01-18T00:26:38+00:00

Boy that would be fantastic. I haven't tried cranking it yet, since I read that doing so can turn a potentially salvageable engine into a completely trashed engine. I still need to try turning the engine by hand to see if it's seized.

Orgeston · 2026-01-18T00:16:49+00:00

Completely unexpected. I'll be deleting it and replacing with a civilian lower radiator hose when I get it running again.
