1999 Honda CRV 2.0 No Spark! No Start Issue!
 

Hello fellow automotive enthusiasts,

I'm seeking some advice and guidance regarding a frustrating issue I'm experiencing with my 1999 Honda CRV 2.0. Recently, I fixed the exhaust system on my CRV, which was throwing several error codes (P0302, P0304, P0300, P0301, and the Honda-specific P1399) related to misfires.

After fixing the exhaust, the car ran perfectly for the rest of the day. However, while idling, the engine light was blinking, so I decided to erase the codes. Shortly after, while idling, the car suddenly shut off and hasn't started since.

To address the issue, I've replaced the following parts:

• Ignition Control Module (ICM)
• Ignition coil
• Spark plugs and wires
• Entire distributor

Despite these replacements, I'm still facing a no spark no start condition. I've performed all the tests outlined in the manual but haven't been able to resolve the issue.

I'm now considering the possibility of a faulty ECU/PCM. Before I proceed with this replacement, I wanted to reach out to this community for any insights or suggestions you may have. Has anyone experienced a similar issue, and if so, how was it resolved?

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Considering your shotgun approach to repair I'm surprised you didn't replace the PCM as well. Maybe you should have done some testing to begin with.
What exactly did you do to your exhaust and why?
Are you sure the car is breathing OK?
What tests in what manual have you tried? What were the results? We need to know what you did did and why.
