Q: I just bought a 2000 honda CRV. the former owner has lost the remote car lock, how do i get a replacement key.?
the car was sold with just the key to maually lock/open the car. I need to get a remote car lock, how do i go about it?

A: if the car is equipped with remote keyless entry you can buy a replacement key fob from any Honda dealer. they can program it for you at no charge. just be aware that all models did not come with remote keyless entry as standard equipment and just buying the remote for a car that doesn't have the system won't do you any good. hope that helps

Q: Should I trade my 2000 honda crv for a 93 Jeep(4 cil) wrangler, I don't like the crv but gives me +/- 24 mpg ?
It has never given me any trouble and the interior is very spacious for a small SUV but in the other hand I’ve always wanted own a jeep and my friend is selling his. My friend is going to pay me the difference in value.

A: The 4-cyl is more gas efficient, but basically a joke in the Jeep world. I would look for the 4.0 I6 if anything. It guzzles a bit of gas, but if you drive conservatively and maintain your engine and part it will give you 18mpg pretty consistently.

Q: On a very cold morning I could not start my honda crv 2000. Jump start Helped me. Today again same problem.?

A: If you running your car with a weak cell battery everyday soon you will affect your alternator.Think back how long did you got that battery?? If it's 3 years ago,that would be weak now.And if you just bought that yesterday meaning your alternator is geating weak.And if you continue running weak battery soon you will buy alternator and battery.Just like you're trowing two stone in one bird.Alternator is not cheap,it's $120.00 dollars rebuilt.Brand new..double. So buy your battery now.PEACE OUT!!

Q: Why is my 2000 Honda CRV chugging?
It has just over 101,000 miles on it. It was running fine until I drove home from the airport last night after sitting for 6 days. Now it chugs when I step on the gas and/or go up hills. Its not that bad but I don't want to ruin the car or have it die on me. Any suggestions as to what it may be?

A: Just a guess, if it set for 6 days then you could have had condensation set up. How much fuel did the tank have in it, and how long has it been since you changed the fuel filter and changed air filter? Have you changed plugs and wires in the last 50k miles? It also depends on where you live, because the weather can play a major role. If it rained or anything, then you may have moisture built up in there somewhere. That has happened to me a lot when my vehicle set, so I put some stuff in the tank to remove water, then filled up the tank, and miraculously it cleared up. God Bless and good luck. P.S. If you were low on fuel, then all the dirt went to the bottom, and the moisture, then when you started it and drove it everything in the bottom went straight through the lines and into the injectors.

Q: 2000 Chevrolet Tracker Vs. 2000 Honda CRV. Which is more durable?
Both are four cylinders and both have 4x4. They are also both fully loaded.

A: Both are very reliable and I actually did research on this today!Also to let you know my friend has a 200 tracker with 20k miles with the V6 trim fully loaded so i can tell you how good it is. The CRV is the better car because it has more room, more power and its better looking. There are a lot more to it too, check out the links I posted. The CRV scored 58 and the Tracker 27, both are very reliable but the CRV is better. The tracker is also very good but if you compare the 2, CRV comes out on top. Tracker is torquey and is a good handling car, agile for an SUV. Cant beat the CRV tho. Hope you find the right car!Good luck

Q: how do i change the cabin ac filter on a 2000 honda crv?


A: you need to remove the glovebox & its bracket.when you do, you will be looking at the blower assy & evaporator. where they join is a door. swing it up from the bottom & remove it. grab the tab & slide the filter out. (by the way, its directional.) put everything back & thats it!

Q: Bought a 2000 Honda CRV w/109,000km, I've put 1,500km and now find out it needs a front upper control arm.
I'm very happy with this vehicle, I take good care of my cars and keep them a long time, is the CR-V's suspension high maintenance/problematic? Anything else I need to be warned about?

A: check to see if your car been in any accidents that could be part of problem . they do go out from time to time .

Q: 2000 honda crv (used certified): messed up door!?
i bought my 2000 honda used certified car in 2002 only to discover a year later that the paint was chipping off. apparently, the vehicle had been in a collision and received a super crappy paint job that the inspectors at honda did not catch. the dealership paid for the repair. fastforward to today: i notice that the other side of the car (front passenger door) is rusting. i take it to a body shop (the same one i went to for the first repair: a great place) and they take the door off and discover that the door was clearly in a collision and was basically glued back together instead of actually replaced. because the work was so crappy, this has led to leaks in the door (now rusted) and even the door joint was involved in the original collision because it too was kind of haphazardly replaced/glued back together. should the dealership have to pay for this? from my point of view, they should have caught this at inspection when they "certified" it. how do i get them to pay for it? i got the warranty but the warranty is expired. but since this damage was there to begin with, the dealer should have caught it and fixed it before the car was sold as "used certified."

A: I agree...if they're going to certify it, problems like that should be caught. Sounds kind of messed up to me. Good luck!

Q: 2000 Honda CRV problems ?
hello, i have two problems with my honda crv. one is that my brake lights wont turn on when i hit the brakes, only when the night lights are turned on the brake lights turn on. I DONT HAVE A CAR MANUAL. does anyone know where the fuse is at?? second we were trying to find the fuse but couldnt. when we put everything back the CHECK ENGINE light came on. anyone know how to turn it off??? i know it is not the engine thanks!!!

A: I've had both of these issues on my 03 CRV. The brake light problem is probably just bulbs. I've had them changed twice on both sides. Check engine light could be caused by either a bad sensor or a cracked gas cap or the gas cap not being put on tight enough. If its the sensor, it needs to be changed by a mechanic. If the gas cap is cracked, get a new gas cap. If the gas cap was not put on tight, make sure it is tight each time you fill up and eventually the light will reset itself.

Q: 2000 honda crv fuse??

A: Fuse # 52 is for the Horn and the Brake switch.....15 amp fuse under the hood. For the check engine light you can either use a scanner or try and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes......

Q: 2000 Honda CRV new tires causing braking problems. affects pedal feel and braking reaction?
Ok, so mother took car in to get bad/bald tires replaced, also did an alignment job. Brought it home and this is what i got. Honda CRV AWD new front tires not matched to the old rears (rears are running at 44 psi per spec SUV/truck tire, front are passenger tire rated at 35 psi) you can tell, they are a hard compund tire. Could this affect the pedal feel and braking reaction if the tires are mis-matched like this on an AWD car? Also if the car is running mismatched can it cause any problems with front or read differential or transfer case? or is there any reason why installing new tires would cause or increase noise from rearend (trans / diff)? I mean i know it's expected to get more road noise from some new tires, but i have never had it affect brakes like this, just leaves me stumped. Oh, and FYI breaks themselves are are ok, very little feathering but still good solid pedal feel and fluid levels. heres a side by side comparrison of the tires http://www.sears.com/shc/s/Compare?storeId=10153&catalogId=12605&partNumber_1=09586415000P&partNumber_2=09566035000P&prodCount=2 the revelation is the ones she got for the front, the assurance is whats currently on the back

A: Ummm, your first problem is the inflation pressure. Your CRV uses a P205/70R15 tire with a load index of 95. Honda recommends an inflation pressure of 26 psi front and rear, not 35/44 psi. That 26 psi does not change if you put different tires on the vehicle so long as they are the same size (P205/70R15) with the same load index (95). This information can be found on a small tag inside the drivers door fraem. I know what your thinking: "but it says inflate to 35 psi on the one set of tires and 44psi on the sidewall on the other set". No it doesn't. This is a very common mistake. What is says on the tire is "maximum inflation pressure" not "recommended inflation pressure". That is a safety warning, a "not to exceed" pressure not a recommendation. All Passenger-Metric tires in the old days had max pressures of 35 psi. In the last few years that has changed with many newer models going to 41 or 44 psi max inflation pressures. But that is irrelevant for this vehicle. The air in the tire is what carries the weight of the vehicle and it doesn't matter what brand or model of tire you have, 26 psi is enough for this particular car with this size of tire. Gross overinflation reduces the contact patch of the tire reducing traction and increasing braking distances, makes the tires more susceptible to damage from impacts such as curbs and pot holes and will cause them to wear out faster. And it makes the car ride like crap. Secondly, you NEVER replace 2 TIRES on a AWD vehicle, ever. Not because of braking issues but because having mis-matched tires with AWD can lead to severe damage in the transfer case which can cost several thousand dollars to repair. So the answer to your question is yes, this can cause damage. The shop that replaced just 2 tires on this vehicle should'nt be trusted to top off your windshield washer fluid, let alone install tires on a vehicle. There have only been hundreds of lawsuits because of this so its not like they shouldn't know better. Also, when replacing only 2 tires the new tires should ALWAYS be installed on the rear axle, not the front axle. This is the recommendation of every tire company - another reason this shop should not be trusted. Michelin just lost a $32 million lawsuit because one of their shops didn't do this, so again, any knowledgeable shop that cares about what it is doing should know better. A major outlet (and Michelin dealer) like this should certainly know better. As for your braking issue, new tires will not effect pedal feel but of course they can effect stopping ability. Everything your car does comes down to those 4 little patches of rubber on the road and not all are created equal. Tires of different moels/brands and with different amounts of wear will have different performance characteristics. My advice would be to get 2 more MATCHING tires installed before any damage is done, inflate them properly to 26 psi and have the alignment re-checked. All of this should be done of course at a shop that knows something about tires, unlike the last one. Then see how it drives.

Q: 2000 Honda CrV brake lite is on when it's cold.?
Is this bad? I don't set my parking brake at night because I park on a flat surface. Yesterday and this morning (it was about 26 degrees outside) the red light on my dashboard was on. Is this just the cold or is there something else?

A: i would say its the cold weather check the brake light switch it may be stuck, cold weather raises heck with a lot of things on cars. things have a chance of sticking especially if things got wet or damp then the cold weather hits then you have a small problem. sometimes they just need to thaw out.

Q: 2000 Honda CRV piston 1 misfire - what is the problem?
I'm getting a check engine light and rough idle. took to dealership and they pulled the code for misfire on #1 piston. So they did a valve adjustment and said that it didn't work and that a valve has receded into the head. But another mechanic told me they can't know that for sure based on just doing a valve adjustment. They said they need to replace the cylinder head at $4200 which is absurd. I googled this topic and saw lots of suggestions like spark plugs, fuel system cleaner, fuel filter, new fuel injectors, new piston rings. Any other ideas from anyone? I know the price is outrageous, but could this really even be the problem. It is a Honda with 118K miles. One mechanic told me he has never seen valves recede on a Honda and become stuck inside the cylinder. Please help me with ideas - thanks.

A: Valve adjustment? Doesn't that thing have hydraulic lifters like every other modern car engine? If the misfire is on one cylinder, then it has to be something unique to that cylinder. The code should've given a hint as to exactly what the problem is; an honest shop would've told you what the code was. If they didn't, call and ask them, and ask exactly what they tested. If that doesn't turn up some helpful info, check the simplest & most likely things first. Check the spark plug wire first, then the spark plug. After that, fuel injector (if it's sequential injection), and compression. Anything's possible, but a valve seems like the least likely option, especially on such a new engine. Jumping right to a $4200 repair without checking all these things seems a little shady.
