Hi can any one help?
I have an 98 crv and have problems with cold starting. the car will
start up but has no idel and just stalls.also when it starts to run
the engine seems to hunt around quite a bit for the first 5 mins

Any help or directions would be most greatfull

Thank you

Dave

hi there, it could be a few factors that's affecting your V. to name a
couple that i can think of right now, how long has it been since your
last fuel filter change and is your engine oil too thick for your
climate/season? oh, another couple, dont forget to check on your last
valve adjustment or try to use some fuel injector cleaner- for clogged
injectors... hope one of these could help!

Thanks Rick but i have tried all of those sugested including
disconecting the battery to reset the computer i dont have any engine
alarm lights showing and dont appear to have air gaps in the pipe
work leading to the inj manifold so i am stumped .I live in wales in
the uk cheers

Do you have any trouble codes? Specifically P-0505 or P-1519
Your problem could very well be a faulty "Idle Air Control
Valve"
Disconnect the electrical connector to the Idle Air Control Valve.
If the idle speed increases or fluctuates , the IACV is bad and should
be replaced. There is no repair item.
Your Honda dealer can run a quick check with a Interface Module to
bring up any malfunction codes.
The latest fuel & emissions systems are so complicated , your
least cost alternative is properly (AUUUGH) dealer repair,

Thanks

On my 2002 it's right behind the "H" on the grill.
