Wont turn over on cold days or after sitting for several days
Have the battery tested with a carbon high discharge tester, if its ok check for a light in the glove box or rear trunk that is staying on due to a faulty switch. or you could disconnect the battery , if it goes flat it is faulty, if it stays ok a light or something is running it down.
Overheating when I sit idle.
Over heating the engine is a serious concern. With the hood raised you should hear the motorized fan turn on just behind the radiator as the engine requires additional cooling.. If you look in from the rear of the radiator you should see the fan blades.
This electric powered motor operates on a thermostat and when the engine temperature rises this fan should come on. I'm assuming from your description that when driving and air is flowing through the radiator as the car travels the engine is nor overheating.
Check fan motor thermostat, check fan motor and check wiring.

2001 Honda CRV dash brake light comes on and won't
This is also a warning light for the brake system. You may need to replace the brake pads. The light will come one when the brake fluid level goes below a preset limit. It could also mean the brake fluid is just low add more brake fluid to "MAX" line on the side of the brake master cylinder mounted at the firewall in the engine compartment. The reason it turns on and off is due to the fluid sloshing up and down over the low level sensor. Good luck to you
Check engine light cam on and transmission does not work after hitting a pothole
Hitting can damage many systems under the car. Check the following:
- One of the Constant Velocity (CV) Joints may have slipped out of the transmission due to which the car could not move even in any gear.
- Check the transmission for any leakage. If so, repair the leakage, top up the transmission oil to the specified level and check to see if it works.
- Check the transmission control cable.
- If the problem persists consult an authorized service personnel.
