my Honda crv shuts down while driving, what could be the problem? help

Sounds like one of your relay fuses that run from the battery post to your cars electronics. Start with the visible ones first . Yoou actually have to open each relay and look to see that there are no shorts in the system. If that doesnt work then sell it to the next sucker

might want to check the alternator..

Check your coil,it is biult into the distributor,but can be changed sepreatly from it.Sounds like it is getting hot and killing the fire to car,then cools and go,s on again for a little while.

Intermittent main relay [supplies current to both the fuel system and the ignition/distributor], was the problem on my '98 CRV. Tapping on it while starting, allowed to start every time. Additionally, once running, tapping on it would cause the engine to die. Re-soldering all PCB connections on it "did not" fix it either. The hidden/internal contacts on each individual relay were bad. Total replacement of the main relay assembly was the cure.

Hi so I have a 2000 Honda CR-V and as I was driving my car was on E my car started to like slowly stop so as I’m still trying to drive it would go like it’s trying to use the little bit of gas it did have but eventually it just stopped NEXT i walked to the nearest gas station which wasn’t that far but I got my gas can and put 2.95 and walked back to my car I put it in the take still no start no nothing at all not even noises THEN.... I tried to jump it messed around and put the cables on the wrong color burnt out the cables and the whole car was off completely so I left cane back out my key in tried to start it and it made the noise like it wants to start but it couldn’t . Everybody telling me it’s my battery and most likely gas too but I need someone’s else opinion

Car kept cutting out . I replaced the fuel pump for pressure, replaced the relays , replaced the fuel filters .,...... all didn't work . Now will try replace the coil.

I'm having the same trouble with my 1999 Honda CRV, my mechanic isn't sure of the problem but his best guess is a dodgy crank angle sensor (replacement in order). When the car's running it runs well, when it heats up it cuts out and I usually have to wait a short time to restart. Fingers crossed this will remedy my problem. Why doesn't Honda have a trouble shooting website?

Does anybody know if a honda crv has gas shut off valve. That would shut off if the engine would over heat.I'm having the same problem with the engine would die and restart later.

it was the distributor on my Honda,replaced that,the 4 spark plus as cylinder #3 had a msfire and put on new valve cover casket.drives like a dream now. the distributor is what was causing it to die.

My CRV was having similar issues,bit was keep shutting off whenever I stop and push gas. Dropped it off at mechanic today and I was told need to change the throttle body unit, hopefully that's it.

Why does my Honda crv jeep keeps cutting of while driving

Having the same problem and I have changed the fuel pump and fuel filter but still same. Please I need some help here.

The common problem with the crv 2.0 engine is the relays and the coil for why the vehicle keeps shuting off my curent girlfriend has one and i fixed the problem while she would be driving it would over heat and shut off or it would get to temp and just die and i went replaced them two items and it runs like a dream now

Which relay did you change?

That question was for GuruG42G7 - Which Relay did you change?

Check your ECT sensor. If this is going bad it will cause the car to shut off or not start when hot. Unplug it when the car wont start and try it again. If it starts up after a crank or two replace your sensor. I've seen many people have this problem and wind up replacing all kinds of parts without checking this one sensor.

Ignition switch. Mine would stall out while driving I would roll to side of road and restart..great friend of mine told me it was key switch..he was right..

Mine is doing the same it's a 99 the only difference is is that when it happens it's been 2 times now it like clunks lumens a big rattle under the car.i loose all power yer headlights stay on.ive replaced tranny in April, and had the car impounded where the impound yard stole my battery n positive cable I replaced it then the 100 amp battery fuse was fried . I replaced that . So all was finally good now this . Help!!!i dont want to be stuck on side of road.

I literally have tried everything on my 1997 Honda CR-V , I’ve tried spark plugs, coil on the distributor, main relay fuse, carb cleaner, spark plug wires and it doesn’t over heat doesn’t have a lot of mileage i don’t know what it could be but for me i turn it on let it warm up and then it turns off randomly and then when I’m driving it it would turn off then I would have to put it in park then I would have to turn it off turn it back on put it on drive again I need help

This turning off problem is most likely the ignition switch. It heats up then fails. When it cools down it starts again. There is an official recall for these CRV's check it out. A similar thing can happen with the ignition module fyi.

My crv was doing the same thing and I replaced the distributor and now runs fine

There is a recall on the Ignition Switch that causes mine to stop.

Have experienced this before and I was in the middle of traffic :( Brought my car to the mechanic and they just replaced the MAIN RELAY. This is under the right panel at the foot of the front passenger side. That solved the issue for my 1998 CRV.
