Also, here are some photos of the cap and rotor. The rod that the rotor connects to seems to have some corrosion is that something I need to worry about?

[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=108678]First, never replace the ignition wires if they are Honda, they last just about forever. If you do replace them with something other than Honda, NGK works pretty well. Hondas like OE parts on their ignition systems, use them whenever possible. As for the service interval. The cap and rotor get replaced at 30K intervals, the plugs depend on the type. If they’re iridium NGK, then 100K, if they’re standard plugs, do them at 30K with the cap and rotor.
BTW the Element and CRV share the same chassis.

It’s funny you should post those videos I use them Sunday to change out all the fluid except for the power steering I used my mini vac and it seemed to work really well. I was going to use the iridium NGK, but decided not to after I looked on some forums and people were not very high on him so, I just stuck with the NGK standard that the factory recommended.
I do have a couple of questions on my number two cylinder seem to have some oil residue in there I think it might have been coming from the bushing from before I had the vehicle. When I change the spark plugs I did not pay any attention to that.

[quote=”college man” post=108644]I would check the owners manual for there recommendation. I used to change

On a side note. I think I have this whole forum thing figured out. So, my post should improve with photos! banana:

[quote=”ukrkoz” post=108071]Most welcome.
Huh, I actually guessed right. You know how I found about those? My speedo on 96 Galant started acting up, along with cruise that is tied into speedo. frost Transmission in Gadsden AL quoted me $800 to “replace worm gear ring in differential”, that I later found was a non-existent part for those cars. They made it up.
On pure hunch, I wiggled that speed pick up unit, and speedo came back to life. I even drove for 6 months with sock jammed there to hold it against the gear right. Then I found that worm gear itself can be replaced for $8 and about 15 minute job.
Glad I could be of help. V-s are good cars.
Stay away frokm frost’s, btw.[/quote]Wow that’s crazy!!
We love our V. It brought our doughter home and has and always will be a part of the family.

[quote=”i_leuterio2381″ post=101775]Hi Guys.. Im kinda hoping to get some advice with regards to the problem im experiencing with my Honda CRV 2000 Automatic. I bought this used. First car.
Problem description:
Intermittent knocking noise whenever stepping on gas. At times, the whole car is vibrating. The noise is a rhytmic thud (thud thud thud) and becomes faster the more you step on gas. No noise when i just let the car roll even at 60-80 kmh.Other observation:
For some reason, one time, when the car was fully loaded (5 adult passengers) the noise and the vibration seems to be less felt.It feels like you’re running over cat’s eye. IT feels the thud is coming from underneath the drivers seat.
Repairs done:
Transmission hose replaced, Left engine mount replaced, stabilizer link replaced. Wheels are aligned and balanced. Already switched front tires and rear tires.[/quote]I had a similar problem with my CRV and it ended up being the lower control arm on the driver side there is a nut it was loose. Hope this helps!

At about the 14 minute mark for me the audio shuts off. Not sure if this is happening with other viewers.

[quote=”1999b20″ post=107876][quote=”ukrkoz” post=107862]speed sensor pick up unit in transmission. It’s normally right next to one of the front drive axles. Easy way to check is to locate it, loosen attachment bolt, get vehicle up on stands and start engine>engage gear to the speed CC will stay on.
Then wiggle pick up unit back -for and see what happens.
They have plastic worm gear that gets worn out with age. Tilts cause better gears grip. It’s serviceable part. Costs about 8-10 bucks. The gear itself.[/quote]I failed to mention this in the beginning this is a manual four-wheel-drive CRV.
I did what you recommended. When I remove the bolt and try to put it in gear to set the cruise control it would not set. So, I had my wife sit in the car I pushed the sensor down to hold it in the position and then trying to wiggle it and move it up and down and the cruise control turned itself off. I’ve attached some photos for your viewing pleasure.[/quote]
So I changed out the Tilts and it solved the problem. Thank you excavation point
