1 messages Ā· Page 1 of 1 (latest)
What codes is the car throwing? Iām sure the CEL is on
No codes
Everything is green according to my scanner
Does it need a tune or something
No check engine lights and your gas mileage is cut in half?
How many miles?
194k
Thatās how it is
Whenās the last time you have had a tune up?

Uhhhhhhhhh
To my knowledge it never has, I did get a valve adjustment recently tho
This is a K Series so you have a timing chain
Yup
Thatās good. These engines need adjustment over time.
I think itās time for coils, plugs, etc etc
And start there since you donāt have codes
yea after i did that the car feels really good, plugs and coils are that old
Are that old?
sorry, plugs are 2 years coils are prob 1 year
arent*
What brand plugs? Honda is picky about sticking with NGKs
But I would remove a plug and see what it looks likes
pretty suyre theyre ngks
uhhhh what
Ok yeah sorry but it sounds like you need to take the car to a shop.
for what
A good scan tool is a great diagnostic tool.
i have a obd port scanner
A shop will be able to read your car while itās running and see what the fuel and air is doing
ah alr, so you suggest a tune up?
Iām sure you do but you didnāt know what fuel trims are so Iām assuming your scanner doesnāt read it
oh yea i doubt it does
I recommend taking it to a shop that can hook a good scan tool up to your car.
Donāt want to just throw parts at a problem you donāt know
yea
alr bet
keep us posted
will do
Donāt worry man I had almost the same exact car except it was a 04 I think and it had 260k miles
They just suck gas for no reason
I mean yea I get it itās 20 years old but 14mpg is diabolical
It is, it was so bad Iād have to fill up like 3x a week
I ended up selling mine for $600 the maf sensor was being goofy, my opinion is you should just sell it cause they are dookie
GG @slender pike, you just advanced to level 4! Chat more to level up and earn top roles!
It aināt THAT bad for me
Nahhh the crv a
great car, great engine too
I agree, by dookie I meant the mpg I beat the snot out of mine and it was still running strong
Ohhh, yea I take very good care of mine lol
What exactly is the kind of tune up called to get better mpg
Well a tune up gives you better gas mileage because you are replacing parts that affect performance as they fail.
So in reality it is supposed to bring you back the ideal conditions and give you the mileage your car is āsupposedā to have
Ok so what exactly do I ask the shop to do then? Bc my spark coils and injectors are all new
To look at your car and see why your mileage sucks
When was the last time you checked the tire pressure?
Alr loo
They filled em prob two weeks ago when I had them balanced
Has it always been this bad or is it something new?
Iāve had the car 5 years now, prob been this bad for a year now I might have just noticed it now
What transmission does it have?
Uh idk 5 speed auto
could be slipping
Probably 4 speed with overdrive
How would I tell
Overdrive?
