1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
   
2. Position crankshaft so that No. 1 piston is at Top Dead Center (TDC).
   
3. Remove the splash guard.
   
4. If equipped, remove the cruise control actuator.
   
5. Loosen and remove the power steering pump drive belt.
   
6. Remove the two bolts that attach the top power steering hose to the power steering pump. Cover and seal the hose and the open port of the pump.
   
7. Clamp shut the power steering reservoir return hose, remove it from the return line, and remove the power steering pump and reservoir as an assembly.
   
8. Remove the remaining accessory drive belts. Refer to Section 1 for specific details.
   
9. Place a piece of wood between the oil pan and the jack, support the engine with a jack.
   
10. Remove upper engine bracket.
    
11. Remove the valve cover.
    
12. Make sure the engine is at Top Dead Center (TDC) for No. 1 cylinder. The engine is at TDC for No. 1 cylinder when:
    
    • The white Top Dead Center (TDC) mark on the crankshaft pulley is aligned with the raised pointer.
      
    • The UP marks on both camshaft sprockets are at the topmost (12 O'clock) position.
      
    • The holes in the No. 1 exhaust and intake cam journals align with the holes in the camshaft. A 4.5 mm or 5/32inch drill bit or Allen key can be placed through the holes to prevent the cams from rotating while removing or installing the cam belt.
      
13. Remove the crankshaft pulley. For details, see crankshaft pulley removal in this section.
    
14. Remove the timing belt covers.
    
15. Loosen the adjusting bolt 1/2-1 turn. Release the tension from the belt by pushing on the tensioner, then retighten the adjusting bolt.
    
16. Remove the timing belt.
    

To install:

1. Be sure the timing marks are properly aligned.
   
2. Install the timing belt around the crankshaft sprocket and then stuff a clean rag or paper towel between the belt and the sensor guard to hold the belt engaged with the sprocket teeth.
   
3. Place the flat side of the belt clockwise around the top of the tensioner and then engage the toothed portion of the timing belt counterclockwise around the bottom of the water pump sprocket.
   
4. Carefully pull the timing belt upward but do notmove the crankshaft. If the crankshaft moved, carefully realign the crankshaft timing belt sprocket with the TDC marks. Carefully engage the teeth of the timing belt onto the exhaust camshaft sprocket, but only install the belt about 1/3 of the way onto the sprocket.
   
5. Grasp the timing belt on the toothed side and gently lift the belt enough to begin sliding it onto the intake camshaft sprocket.
   
6. Once the belt has started to slide onto the intake camshaft sprocket, slide the belt equally onto both the intake and exhaust camshaft sprockets.
   
7. Quickly loosen and then retighten the timing belt tensioner bolt.
   
8. Remove the tools from the camshaft caps used for securing the camshafts, and remove the cloth used to keep the timing belt engaged in the crankshaft sprocket.
   
9. Apply a clockwise load on the intake camshaft sprocket bolt to remove any slack between the intake camshaft sprocket, exhaust camshaft sprocket and the crankshaft timing belt sprocket, then loosen and retighten the timing belt tensioner adjusting bolt to allow tension to be applied to the belt.
   
10. Install the crankshaft pulley sprocket/timing belt guide washer.
    
11. Install the lower and upper timing covers.
    
12. Install the crankshaft pulley and tighten the bolt to 130 ft. lbs. (177 Nm).
    
    WARNING

    If any binding is felt when adjusting the timing belt tension by turning the crankshaft, STOP turning the engine, because the pistons may be hitting the valves.
    
    

13. Rotate the crankshaft about 5-6 times counterclockwise to seat the timing belt.
    
14. Position the No. 1 piston to TDC.
    
15. Locate and remove the rubber plug for the timing belt tensioner on the lower timing belt cover.
    
16. Loosen the adjusting bolt 1/2 turn by
    
17. Rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise 3 teeth on the camshaft pulley.
    
18. Tighten the adjusting bolt to 40 ft. lbs. (54Nm).
    
19. Retighten the crankshaft pulley bolt to 130 ft. lbs. (177 Nm).
    
20. Install the valve cover.
    
21. Install the engine mounting bracket, then remove the jack.
    
22. If removed, install the cruise control actuator.
    
23. Install the accessory drive belts.
    
24. Install the splash guard.
    
25. Connect the negative battery cable.
    
26. Check the engine operation and road test.
    

WARNING

Never allow antifreeze, oil or solvents to come into with a timing belt. If this occurs immediately wash the solution from the timing belt. Also, never excessive bend or twist the timing belt; this can damage the belt so that its lifetime is severely shortened.

Use the preset radio station buttons.

Your trans is slipping, u are going to need to have it checked out at a trans shop, they will test drive it in most cases for free and report what they think is wrong or recommend more diagnostic work if they are unsure..

you have what they call is a shorten earth wire has come off or maybe trailer wire has come off of the connector

If the radio has not been changed in the past, then I am almost certain that your local Honda dealaship can help but as always they may charge you. There are auto centres that are equipt to change the radio code and they do charge.

as for my japan model 99 crv, there is no switch for climate control. So pls chech again yr model. yr sincerely naing lynn.

Most clicking/popping noises when turning indicate a bad ball joint in the front axle. The CV joint has a boot over it that will eventually rip, causing the grease inside to be slung out. Dirt and moisture will get in there and cause the smooth joint to pop when under stress, like turning.

Take it to a shop that can put it up on a rack and inspect bushings and connections and also balance your tires. Your brake rotors may also be warped and need turning. Then you may have to consider having wheel bearings checked. The shop should be able to do that as well. Hopefully it's just tires or rotors.

well anthony you must remove the transmission and to do that you must disconnect the battery then you must remove the shaft from the transmission then after slacking all the bolts around the transmission if you have yourself a engine lift and hook it up so that it will hold the weight of the engine then you have to move the lower sub frame that the engine is resting on after moving that get a floor jack and place it under the transmission remove the transmission bolts this is done after you would of remove the torque converter bolts or nuts then lower the transmission remove the old and replace with the new and replace the transmission and the rest of parts make sure you torque your torque converter bolts properly you dont want them to run slack on you

Junk yard u pull it type deal

you need an alighnment machine to check and adjust the rear wheel camber,it might also be weak shocks
