I've got a 2000 cr-v with 80,000 miles. It's the ex 4-wheel drive
model. The car sits for a couple of day's at a time in the garage.
This car is a 5-speed. The garage is small so when I need to move the
car in order to get to something, I put the car in neutral and roll
it a foot or so forward or backward. Yesterday my wife went out to
go somewhere and the car did not start, it's never done this before!
You put the key in and turn the key and all you get is a low whine of
an engine, but it's not cranking, it sounds like the starter is
missing or maybe a broke timing belt. The next day I roll the car
out on to the apron and now it wants to start but it won't. I try
again and it starts. Which eliminates the timing belt. I'm thinking
that rolling it has something to do with it, but that's crazy. So
what do we think?? I've thought maybe the original battery is a
problem or the starter itself. Would sure appreciate any info on
this problem. Thanks is advance.
