1997 Honda CRV won't start. What's the next thing to check.
Hi I have a 1997 Honda CRV with 330K on it. The alternator went out on it and I had to let it sit for about a month. I changed the alternator and it cranked up fine. I took it to the gas station and put about 10 gallons in it( It was empty). When I left the station it started fine and then pulling out on the main road it just stopped runnning. I thought it must have gotten junk from the tank in the fuel filter. I changed the fuel filter and it still doesn't start. It turns over but never does anything else. I can fix most things if I know what to fix, I just don't diagnose very well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Lee

Since your were riding on empty, try this first. Turn the ignition switch to ON, until you hear the fuel pump stop running; then, turn the ignition switch to OFF. Repeat this procedure two more times. This will fully pressurize the fuel rail. On the last attempt, turn the ignition switch to START; hopefully, the engine starts.
If that didn't work and if the CEL comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), then focus on the distributor. Normally, replacing the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil inside the distributor solves the problem. Apply silicone heat transfer compound to the back of the new ICM. |
