I had this happen to me on my ’05 CR-V recently as well. I have been monitoring the oil pressure with some other approved techniques but I still need to fix this. Please let me know if you or anybody else here has any ideas in terms of how to repair this issue. Thanks!
Honestly if you went through all those steps and you’re still having issues then unfortunately that means your transmission is just flat wearing out. That is a common problem with those focus automatic transmissions as they age. My advice is just live with it if the car still drives fine other than that because it’s honestly not worth putting a new transmission in that car.
Scotty Kilmer just made a video on this exact same problem with the exact same car.

This is the solution to your problem.
It could be the wires going to the ignition that are faulty, and you would need a power probe to diagnose that properly. I believe Scotty Kilmer has a video on that procedure with a Honda Accord. Same thing with the Odyssey. So I would check that.
yeah it definitely sounds like the calipers have seized up in front. I would try disassembling the brakes in front and see if you can get the piston moving in the caliper. If you can, then you would just need to spray out all the grease for the slider pins and clean all the gunk out of there and re-lubricate them again with new grease and that’ll get them to start moving freely again. If that doesn’t work, then you probably need new brake calipers in front. But do try cleaning them out first, that often works. I had that same problem on my 2014 Honda CR-V and after I did this to the rear brakes that problem went away.
I can tell you exactly what the problem is. You have to raise the vehicle to ride height with the new shocks on the car before you torque them down. Also if you have worn out sway bar links and bushings that’ll do that, so do check those as well.
I think Scotty Kilmer has a video on this actually. check out his channel how to fix a Honda that dies. Is the car stick or auto?
Yeah that sounds like an awful lot of money for a car like that. If I were you I would take it to an independent shop, rather than a dealership or commercial shop and get a second opinion on all that. Sounds like they’re out to take you for a ride on that one. If you don’t know of a good trustworthy independent shop personally I recommend that you ask somebody in your area who might know of one and bring the car to them, as well as the estimate you got in repairs and have them look that over and let them tell you what they think. Maybe it does need those repairs, maybe it only needs a handful of what they listed. You won’t know for sure until you get a second opinion. Let me know how it goes
Yeah that sounds like a faulty wiring connection somewhere. Perhaps something came loose when you drove over a bump or some of the electrical wiring has gotten frayed overtime. I see that a lot. You’ll just have to fix the connection, and if you see the wiring is frayed anywhere you may have to splice and solder in some new wiring.
It sounds like that may be internal
to the engine, unfortunately. It sounds like your lifters are ticking. But it could be something else also. You won’t know until you get in there and take everything apart. I believe Scotty Kilmer has a video on YouTube called how to tell if your timing chain is worn. You can watch that and then if you’re up for the task you can check out your timing chain and see if that’s worn. You may wanna get a second opinion from a professional mechanic as well just to be safe. Hope that helpssame thing I told the other guy, watch this video: https://youtu.be/9K78XIhhjAQ
there’s lots of things that can cause no spark. more often than not though, I always recommend using Honda oem parts when it comes to the ignition system. Eric emphasizes that strongly in a lot of his videos. The only exception to that would be NGK or Denso (I think) those 2 brands are equivalent to the oem quality parts. If you did that then make sure you go through all the steps that Eric outlines in his video. I believe Scotty Kilmer also has some tips and tricks as well in his youtube videos that might work. Hope that helps.

Hope that helps.glad it got fixed. To answer your question about OEM parts, yes always get OEM parts for fuel system components unless it is the same brand name that they use at the factory. The reason being is that the engineers specifically designed those cars to run at specific fuel ratios and a lot of times the aftermarket parts are not calibrated properly to work correctly with the fuel system and that may very well contribute to it not starting. So keep that in mind for future reference.
Yes go ahead and do that. I’ve also seen alternators do that at times when the bearings wear out. It could very well be that your alternator bearing is worn out and in that case you would just get a new alternator. The way you would check that is remove the serpentine belt and then spin the bearing on the alternator. It shouldn’t make any noise at all, if you hear noise then it’s toast.
okay I know for a fact that those have a lot of common problems with the injectors carboning up overtime. Now you wanna pray that it’s just a matter of cleaning out the fuel injectors and not something internal to the engine like the timing chain because that’s a very expensive endeavor to repair something like that on a GM. Go ahead and upload the video of the noises if you would so that I can see what’s wrong.
