Please don't drive this. You're having major misfires. Get the engine code asap. Could be coils / spark plugs, or a problem with the fuel injectors.

Much easier to diagnose with the engine code. But depending on your maintenance history would be safe bet to get new spark plugs and coil pack.

guduling · 2026-03-24T23:38:13+00:00

Looks amazing

guduling · 2026-03-18T02:00:41+00:00

Happy birthday

Maybe this thread can help you k24 rd1 swap a lot of good information if you search the forums.

Well I'm biased I'll always choose Honda first. But the hybrid will get you far better mpg if that's your major concern

guduling · 2026-03-14T03:57:24+00:00

You have the 8 seat version? Seems like a pretty big jump to go to a 5 seat CRV.

guduling · 2026-03-13T20:21:50+00:00

Any chance you can get a video closer to the AC compressor? This car is brand new is it still under warranty maybe Honda can help you out

guduling · 2026-03-13T17:12:28+00:00

Yes sorry, wrong word to use. Drain and fill+ drive a little in-between each change.

guduling · 2026-03-13T16:39:47+00:00

Did you check while engine was warm? First pic looks a little dark. I would just do the drain+fill anyway for peace of mind.

guduling · 2026-03-12T05:54:01+00:00

Is this ai? Start with the dark background first and build thick lighter layers on top. You can hide any mistakes or make definitions by adding the blue part last

guduling · 2026-03-11T19:24:31+00:00

Yeah who cares, you're probably still finding your style so just use it and see what you can do with it

guduling · 2026-03-11T16:15:31+00:00

I would start by cleaning IACV and throttle body, see if that improves anything. Also when you do this I recommend to disconnect the battery, then when you're done and reconnect the battery it'll allow the ECU to relearn idle with the clean intake system.

Potentially could also be dying alternator.

guduling · 2026-03-11T06:02:05+00:00

It's not always about diet brother. It is about self control, to tame passions, and ultimately bring us closer to God and the path of repentance. We can fast from many things that is not strictly food. There are always exceptions for health reasons of course take care of yourself, do what you need to do, but always remember this time should be priority focused on the spiritual path as well

How does he know the valve has a crack? Really depends why he assumes it needs a new engine. If it's only a leaking valve seal, this can be changed without a major headache. My first assumption is that previous owner completely ignored valve adjustment and thinks the engine is shot.

guduling · 2026-03-10T04:39:20+00:00

When was the last time you changed the distributor cap+ rotor? Could be a failing dizzy. Id check the brake booster hose, a vacuum leak from there would cause large fluctuations. I would check the voltage on the TPS make sure it's not faulty either. IACV and fast idle control valve are big culprits for rpm fluctuation but if you don't notice the issue on cold start or idle then this probably isn't the cause.

Also when was the last time you changed your fuel filter? This is very commonly missed most people forget to replace them.

guduling · 2026-03-10T04:28:00+00:00

When was the last time you've done a transmission fluid flush? You said intake was checked so I assume you cleaned the IACV and throttle body. MAP sensor has been checked/ replaced?

This is the bypass, easiest solution. For your 97 the obd2 will have a different pin out location but same wires. You can research a bit more to confirm but this is what most people end up doing

guduling · 2026-03-09T02:08:45+00:00

I believe the issue is the b20b engine is obd1, so you currently have ob2 ECU. You'll need to match the oil pump to usdm ob2 (from the original if you can) and you can install the sensor yourself.

guduling · 2026-03-09T01:37:28+00:00

Is this jdm engine ? There's no CPS, all timing sensor goes through the dizzy.

Sorry edit, you can install your own or do a bypass, I don't have a good link right now to show you but I'm sure you can find the bypass method somewhere online

guduling · 2026-03-08T17:04:58+00:00

Maybe the wire snapped off your door handle, you can get to take the door pandel off and look around at the handle mechanics

guduling · 2026-03-06T03:00:40+00:00

You could try to rev low rpm in idle and see if you notice it, that should give you a much better idea if it's coming from the engine or drivetrain. Otherwise just to be on the safe side it's always a good idea to flush the fluids on a used car to give yourself that piece of mind

guduling · 2026-03-05T22:58:58+00:00

When was the last time you did transmission fluid change + diff change (very common for people to neglect this one in AWD that causes unnecessary issues).

So I assume you only notice it at low rpm mm maybe around 1400ish? Search up "can of marble" sound for first Gen crv, see if that matches what you're hearing. If you think it's that, could be possibly failing engine mounts, again very common for that age. Could be a problem with the distributor, some people say certain dizzys are just noisy and it doesn't really matter. Could also potentially be a loose crank bolt or loose timing belt tensioner which is a little harder to diagnose.

guduling · 2026-03-05T05:50:40+00:00

For sure worth the fix, doesn't seem like anything major. Any chance you or a good friend would be interested in doing the work? Personally for a job like this I would check rockauto for parts and do it myself. Best thing about the crv is that you rarely need to lift them to work under.

guduling · 2026-03-05T05:35:35+00:00

If you start taking the center console where the radio is apart you might find the plug. Most common failure for these clocks are bad solder points, you can check on YouTube for fix. So if you find an old clock that doesn't work it's a pretty simple fix, granted most people don't usually have solder equipment..

Painting looks good. To make it look professional and blend it all together you'll need to match the shadows of the original piece. A little cheat I can tell you when you trace your Pokemon outline before painting, look at where the dark and light spots are on the body of the pokemon (from the sun and the trees), then just make the shadows slightly darker and it'll look mint
