It could be so many things. You really need an auto electrician with a Pro grade scan tool computer to check for Diagnostic Trouble Codes. It could be fuel pump or any one of the sensors. It could even be a broken camshaft valve timing belt and it is an interference engine.
Between 1997 and 2001 Honda CRV was equipped with a timing belt under the hood. However, starting in the 2002 model year, Honda swapped out the timing belt in favour of the much more durable timing chain. To this day the CRV is still made with a timing chain. Dec 15, 2020
Throttle cable or shift linkage adjustment may be needed. Procedure is a little complicated, so you either need a repair manual or take it to Honda. This is based on the assumption the transmission is ok.
cooling coil??? you mean the evaporator to the air conditioning. if it is leaking water onto the ground there is nothing wrong with it. changing an evaporator is a big job,and you must be certified to handle the freon. This one job that should be left to an expert. Plan to spend at least 900 bucks.
mine had the same problem but it would start in the cold but would stall if i tried to move the car. once in a while i would get the check engine lite on would have a code that said burning too rich . even when the light was not on it would go through alot more fuel than normal. i tried changing all kinds of stuff o2 sensors, coolant temp sensor, throtle position sensor, air intake sensor, timing belt, and water pump just because its so expensive to change the timing belt and waterpump is run off of it. compleate tune up roter cap to the plugs. and nothing worked.
the real problem that nobody but 1 mechanic knew just from the issues i told him. lifter rockers too tight. and needed to be loosened and re torqued it cost me just the price of 1 hour labor. about $90.00 he told me honda engins are the best but the lifters tighten up with time and must be re adjusted every 100k miles mine had 120k when it started giving me cold weather problems and i only met the mechanic at 135k miles my second winter with the problem. My CRV runs like a new car now!

Reguardless of how old the car is should make no difference as too how cold the AC is blowing. I have a 1997 Honda Civic with 215,000 miles on it and it still runs great, so yours is just barely broken in :) Maybe you need some refrigerant (R-134) added to make it colder? As to the power issue of the car, all air conditioners take appoximately 5-10 horsepower away from a cars engine when turned on. Have you ever had your spark plugs changed? That is usually cheap $10 - $20 if you do it yourself or probably $50 - $75 if you take it to a mechanic, and it makes a big difference in power. ( Make sure they use NGK spark plugs, that is what Honda uses) Also, on your other post about the timing belt which YES you do have a timing belt and not a chain, I have always been told to change the timing belt AND WATER PUMP at every 90,000 miles. The water pump should be changed because if it locks up it will break the new belt they just put on and then the damage I talk about later will happen to the engine. That should cost you around $250 - $400 depending on where you take it? preferably a Honda dealer because it may cost a little more but they know their stuff. It is important to change it because if it breaks it will cause your valves in the engine to get bent and then you will basically need a new motor at that point. Lastly, if you want to find the year of your car then look inside the drivers side door frame, there will be a VIN number and a manufacture date. Well I am sure this is more than you ever wanted to know about your car but there you go:)
