A friend has a 97 CRV that occasionally stalls at stop signs. After the engine dies, it easily starts back up. When it dies, it stops immediately without any sputtering. The vehicle is 2wd automatic and has 124k miles. Any ideas what might be causing this problem. thanks, Mark in AusTX
-------------------------
If it only does it during the first five minutes after startup, tell your friend to get a valve adjustment ASAP, and don't go on any long drives until it's done. Tell him to have it done on the 'loose' side of the spec.
He should also write a note in his owner's manual that the valves should be adjusted every 30,000 miles. If it happens hot or cold (engine), ask whether he has the ignition switch replaced during the GREAT IGNITION SWITCH RECALL.
