these are 200 to 300k cars. IF MAINTAINED CORRECTLY.
its not a question of the milage but was it taken care of?
if so 123k is nothing to a honda - an american car NEVER- but a honda, no problem.
change the timing belt get new belts, hoses, fulids ect - should be OK - again "IF IT WAS MAINTAINED"
steveg
So, the CEL is on and the car is trying to tell you something, but instead of listenning to it, you post on the internet?
Check the CEL and see what it says.
My question would be when were the valves adjusted last time? And chances are the code is going to say "misfire on one or all cylinders."
But, read the codes first, before you do anything else. The car is trying to tell you what is wrong.
The 2001 SE did not come with a sunroof from the factory. So, you have an aftermarket sunroof.
Look at the windshield and see if it has Honda logo. In a rare case, even if it has a Honda logo, it may have been replaced.
Also, if you are using the window defogger (the one that blows on the windshield), it utilizes A/C. A/C takes the moisture out of the air, and condeses it. It should dribble down the tube form the A/C module, which is behind the glove box on the passenger side. A clogged drain tube will result in water leaking onto the passenger side floor.
I think there was a recall of sorts for the firewall well or something that allowed water in. Register your vehicle at www.honda.com Owner's Link and see what was recalled and if recall was performed.
Thanks.
P.S. Just curious you did mention that the "windshield. . .may have been replaced". Sorry I still did not get it.
If the previous owner had replaced the windshield after it cracked, the installer may not have installed it correctly, which will cause a leak you described.
Windshileds are replaceable parts, just like everything else on a car.
The mechanic also told me that the long shaft has been removed...will that cause any problems?...TQ
Honda did not sell E-RDI in the US.
As to the timing belt, refer to the owner's manual. If you don't have one, get one from the dealer. The US bound 1997 CR-V had 60,000 mile timing belt interval, which was changed to 108,000 miles in 1999
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Find instructions on how to remove your wiper arms and then the cowl. You will see the foam seal. Clean surfaces and replace. I replaced mine with foam weather stripping from Home Depot for a couple bucks.
I'm looking for some suggestions.
Thanks
