AboutGary J. Meyer II Expertise The types of questions I can answer would be related to Honda automobile diagnosis and repair procedures. I can't diagnose every car via email because some tests just require a good old fashion road test.
Experience I am a Honda automobile technician with twenty years of new car dealership experience. My first few years as a Honda tech date back to when Honda cars were still offered in carburated models. In the last few years, I've been exposed to the integration of hybrid powered cars, the Natural Gas powered GX Civic, and electronic features ranging from voice activated GPS navigation to power sliding doors. I have been certified as an ASE Master Technician and passed the L1 Advanced Engine Performance test in 2000. I opened my own independent import repair shop specializing in but not limited to Honda automobiles in 2008. Operating my own shop has re-energized my enthusiasm for automobiles.

Question Im driving honda crv 98 automatic,petrol&lpg with78,000 miles.I start it morning and when its cold without problems,but after few seconds the revs start going down from 1200 to 100 and then it turns off.to start it again I need to wait 3-5 min andthen i start it with no problem but I give gas to keep minimum revs 1200,because if revs gone down less than 1200 then drastically gone down to zero and again I need to wait to start it,once it warmed the car runs perfect.My mechanic has changed all filtres,sparkplugs,cables...etc.The problem actually seemed to have gotten worst.My car giving me lots of headaches so please help me.THANKS for the help
Answer I'll do my best with some direction here but my answers will be based on the CR-V engine that runs on unleaded gasoline. The first recommendation I have is to have your mechanic inspect the fuel pressure when the car is cold. If the car starts when cold and then stalls, I'd suspect a failing PGM-FI main relay. Something that may also help would be to take a fuel sample. Fuel contamination is sometimes overlooked.
