Please my nairaland Auto experts.

My Honda CRV Switches-Off While on Drive.
While in motion, everything goes off except the radio. Will park and restart it and it will start immediately again.
I thought the engine was low. It was raised and the problem persisted. We even used fuel injector cleaner, still the same.
My mechanic said it could be that the security is about to expire and that some1 can decode it. He said it could cost me up to 25K.

Abeg I need experts advice on it.
It is a 1999 Honda CRV. It bought it in December 2012.

Waiting on ur advice. Thank you.

Security system expiring? Never heard of that before. This your mechanic must be a crook.

Anyway, what you just described seems like an electrical problem. Get a competent auto electrician to check the electrical connections to your cars fuse box and ecu aka brainbox.

He should also check for loose connections in the engine bay as well as the engine itself and gearbox. Also have him check that there are proper earth connections from the negative terminal of your car battery to the chassis and body as these can get rusty and inhibit full earth/negative contact.
If rusty, have the contact serfaces sand-papered and tigthtened back.

I fixed a similar problem with a 2001 model of the same car that was brought to my workshop some months back and these solutions cured the problem.
