I got a "check fuel cap" message and my avg.mpg, range, and fuel gauge went screwy.

Asked by EMinFL Jan 04, 2017 at 11:50 AM about the 2011 Honda CR-V LX FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

There was no correlation between mileage, avg mpg and range of miles. I was getting readings of svg mpg of 30+ and range of over 450 miles. The fuel gauge would read half full and I put 7-8 gallons in the tank. The odometer still shows true mileage. I the EVAP and sensors tested at a dealer, no error messages were generated.

Also happened to my 2013 CRV. Answer I found was either you have tightened the cap too much (beyond a couple of clicks) or need to replace it. It takes awhile for the message to clear up once you readjust the cap.

1999 Honda CR-V will not start. I changed the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator along with the fuel filter and the main relay but the vehicle still will not start. The distributor along with the coil was replaced about two months ago, spark is ok. Sometimes the vehicle start for a few second but the engine stalls as if the timming is off but the timing is ok, also sometimes it back fires and when it does the vacuum hose that is connected to the fuel pressure regulator comes off from the regulator. I check the injectors and they are getting power. I disconnected the exhaust thinking of the catalytic but still no start. Could it be the computer? Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks 8 Answers
