CommentEngine stalls on left turn, doesnt die, but no throttle response.
Honda CR-V 2016 CRV LX, front wheel drive 76000 miles
Engine intermittently stalls on left turn. Continues to run, but no throttle response. No codes. Otherwise flawless operation. Could this be TPMS related?

Hey, about that weird issue with your 2016 CR-V stalling on left turns. I did some digging into what could be causing it. First off, you can rule out the TPMS. That system just handles tire pressure and isn't tied into your engine or throttle controls at all, so it wouldn't cause the car to cut out. Since it only happens when you turn left and isn't throwing any Check Engine codes, it's almost definitely something physically shifting from the weight of the car cornering. Here are the top three things we should look at:
1 A Cracked Air Intake Hose (My main suspect): This is super common on these Hondas. The big rubber hose between your air box and the engine gets brittle and cracks inside the folds. When you turn left, the engine shifts on its mounts, pulling that crack wide open and letting in a bunch of extra air. It totally blindsides the computer and kills your throttle response, but closes right back up when you straighten out before a code can even pop up. Pop the hood and physically flex that rubber hose to see if it's torn inside the pleats. 2 A Loose Wire or Ground: There could be a wiring harness or a ground wire near the steering column or engine bay that lost its mounting clip. When you swing left, the wires might be swinging just enough to momentarily tug a connection loose or short out the throttle signal. 3 Fuel Sloshing: Does this only happen when you're low on gas? If you're under a quarter tank, a sharp left turn could be sloshing all the fuel away from the pump for a split second, causing it to suck air and lose fuel pressure. If it happens on a full tank, it's definitely not this. Check that rubber intake hose first!

I checked wiring in steering/engine/wheel assy. I also checked air intake path. Nothing was found. This does happen at any fuel level. It is intermittent, starts about 25% into a left turn, stops at about 75% through the turn, when coming out of the turn. Had problem since I bought it used 8 years ago with 12k mi. 76k mi. On it now. Hasnt gotten worse or better. The TPMS system uses wheel speed sensors and that signal is fed to the TPMS, ABS, Traction Control System, Throttle Control, among others. Its difficult to t/s since it only happens intermittently, esp. When making a left turn in front of oncoming traffic, when speed and control are of particular importance.
As with most intermittent car problems, I cant get it to fail when I need to troubleshoot it. I did happen once though, but the only thing notable was that it happened with traction control on (normal condition). I want to see if it fails with traction control off as well, if I can get it to fail again.
CommentGetting code P1381 randomly
Honda CR-V 1998 2.0L AWD 240000 miles
We are having problem with P1381 already replaced spark plugs, cables, checked the alternator, replaced the distributor, cleaned all the sensors attached to the throttle body my son said he just gets the code when the car is warm and it is hot outside (Texas 100F) Does anybody have any idea about what should we check next. Car stalls when you go to accelerate after fully stopping and shoots the code but starts right up and runs fine. Got the code a while ago, swapped a lot of stuff and car worked fine for 2 weeks.

Today my son was coming back from work and the car died at every full stop and he coolant is disappearing.
CommentWont start will spin over

Won't start if you feed fuel through the throttle body it runs fine replaced fuel pump and injectors it happened suddenly

Hesitation or lack of throttle response
Honda CR-V 2018 150000 miles
Most of the time, it's in the mornings, you don't feel anything on the throttle pedal and then it Kicks in. There's no mill light. Feels like an air pocket in the fuel system. Or no response on the throttle pedal.
