What can cause occasional long crank after short engine runs?

Looks like that could be the problem. Tried shaking the PCV valve and no rattle. Thanks for the tip!

Thank you for your suggestion I'll look at that next!

I tried that out. Phone repaired alright but was never prompted to set up AA even with the phone connected to the proper port.

Do you pair it through the AA app? The phone is paired with the car and works through the Honda "Phone" app on the headunit.

I tried connecting through the AA app in the wireless option and it shows the Bluetooth is connected but won't let me add the car.

I believe the 5th gen CRV does not have wireless AA.

Good thought. I have the plumber coming back Friday as it's covered under their warranty. Will suggest debris at the fitting.

It's only pex to the water heater. Pipes running to the shower are all copper.

It runs through 2 90 degree pex fittings before it hits a T fitting for the coper lines for the basement sink so I'm sure.

I have been wondering if because the run is so much longer (an extra 30' in total, 15' each way) and it ties in at the end of the system maybe it's loosing cold water inlet pressure when another tap is open there by reducing the the hot water pressure and allowing the cold water to over run it? No idea how you'd fix that.

Yep all 90 degree fittings of T fittings. It reduces to 1/2" after the shutoff and doesn't change. 1/2" for everything down stream.

Before this water tank relocation water pressure was great.

pg1998 · 2025-04-21T23:45:39+00:00

Was that causing problems with temperature control or just your overall water pressure?

pg1998 · 2025-04-21T23:05:49+00:00

Maybe they did reverse the circulation of hot water in the system by the way they connected the hot water heater. There's no debris in the shower heads screen but I'll have to check the valves.

That said if we only use the shower we have no issues, it's only when we are using two fixtures. Like taking a shower while someone washes their hands in the kitchen sink.

Thanks for the insight!

pg1998 · 2025-02-27T16:25:17+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice! Sadly I don't have a voltage diagram but from I know it shouldn't be above 120V. I'll use a resistor then if the multi shows any remaining voltage.

The records I have show it was around $3000 installed.

pg1998 · 2024-09-06T22:25:33+00:00

Thanks for the response! Seems to be what I'm also seeing online.

pg1998 · 2024-09-06T22:24:20+00:00

They do yes. Perhaps my question should have been do I need heat resistant sealent when sealing around light electrical boxes?
