I have similar issue. Same generation CR-V. Did you find a solution? Here's what mine does:This car is driving me bonkers! Lol. 2001 Honda CR-V with 239,000 miles. It ran and drove perfect for 6 months. Then one day started stalling while driving at low RPMs (less than 1500) around turns, curves, etc. It would restart and stay running if I gave it extra fuel pedal. It starts perfectly when cold. Idles or drives until warm and stalls within 2-5 minutes (yes I time it)...it does this at any RPM, I've tried idle to 4,500 RPMs. Will sometimes restart but will stall again within 1-2 minutes in same manner at any RPM (700 to 4,500). Will not restart after 2nd to 3rd start. It sometimes won't restart at all until it cools down for several hours or a day. No weird noises. No error computer codes.I've replaced the cap, rotor and coil. I've checked the plugs, wires and ignition control module, and compression, and cleaned throttle body. Inspected timing belt and valves. Confirmed fuel injector pulse. Fuel injection main relay looks and tests good. It seems to have gotten worse as I've been trouble shooting it. At first it used to restart over and over and stall shortly thereafter. Now it may not restart after first stall, but will never restart more than 2 times at most. This developed over about 4 weeks of trying to diagnose it by starting and running it. It always starts up fast and clean on first attempt, runs until warm and then stalls instantly. Like something is instantly cutting fuel or spark or both. Anyone have this happen before? I am waiting on a fuel pressure test device to see what fuel pressure is and does.Is there a way to trick the car and bypass the fuel injection main relay to verify it (the circuit board relay) doesn't have a quirky defect I can't see? It seems to be fine but the problem seems to be getting worse and has always been so fast to kill the motor that I suspect some kind of electrical problem somewhere. Thanks!

FAQs
The number one reason your Honda won't start is likely the battery. There are many issues that can cause a battery to die, such as corrosion around the connections, bad wiring, or simply age. If a jump-start won't fix this issue, it may be time to get your battery replaced.

Hi, the fuel pressure regulator is attached to the bottom of the fuel pump located in the fuel tank: Attachments are only available to registered users.
Why is my Honda CRV not starting clicking noise? ›
The battery is one of the most likely causes of a car that won't start but clicks rapidly. If your car battery is dead, damaged, or old, it may not turn the starter motor enough to get your engine going.
Why is my car turning in but not starting? ›
If the car cranks when you turn the key, but the engine won't start, it could be because fuel isn't getting to the engine. One potential reason for this could be dirty fuel injectors. Over time, the fuel injector nozzles can become clogged with rust, corrosion or debris.
How do you reset the sensing on a Honda CRV? ›
Drive at or above 50 mph to reset the sensor for 10 minutes. This can cause your sensor to reset the next time you turn on the car. With the vehicle off, turn the key to the “On” position, but don't start the car. Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
What does factory reset do on Honda? ›
Go to Home > Settings > Vehicle > Factory Data Reset. This will delete all of your settings and devices. When complete, try pairing your phone to your vehicle.
What happens when your fuel pump regulator goes out? ›
Your engine can start to stumble or sputter when this part is starting to go bad. This will happen when the vehicle is running. When you start your car, it is possible for the vehicle to stall out shortly after. Rough running can also happen as a result of a faulty fuel pressure regulator.
What code would a bad fuel pressure regulator cause? ›
The P0089 code indicates a possible issue with the fuel pressure in your vehicle. The base of the problem is that the fuel pressure sensor is showing a fuel rail pressure that is distinctly different from the desired fuel pressure.
Why is my Honda CR-V not starting? ›
The most common reasons a Honda CR-V won't start are a dead battery, an alternator problem, or failed starter.
What causes a car to just click and not start? ›
Do you hear a clicking noise when you turn the key in your car's ignition? If so, it could be an indication of a more serious problem. This clicking noise is usually caused by one of five things: a dead battery, loose wiring, faulty starter motor, faulty ignition switch or corroded battery terminals.
If your vehicle won't start but you hear a rapid clicking sound when you turn the key then you may have a problem with your battery or alternator.
What is a common cause of a vehicle not starting? ›
The most common reason cars don't start is a dead or faulty battery. Even though most cars run on gasoline, they all require electrical power to function. The starter that cranks your engine to start requires an electrical signal to fire. If something's wrong with your battery, your car engine won't turn over.
What are the symptoms of a bad starter Honda CR-V? ›
The presence of smoke or a burning smell when attempting to start your Honda can indicate a serious problem with the starter motor. Smoke may arise due to electrical arcing or overheating of the starter motor. A burning smell can result from worn-out electrical components or damaged wiring.
What are the symptoms of the ignition switch on a Honda CR-V? ›
The vehicle may not turn on accessories like the air conditioner, or the vehicle may fail to start. In intermittent cases, the vehicle may randomly fail to respond to the key being turned, or stall while driving. These symptoms may come and go for some time before the ignition switch completely fails.
Why does my car always have trouble starting? ›
There are a number of reasons why your car might be slow to start but runs as-normal once it gets going. Causes can vary from weather conditions to battery health, wiring issues, starter motor concerns and fuel-pump health.
