Scan the car Sir. That is the most logical way to go, as guesswork will make you spend unnecessarily OR even worsen the situation.

Post the scan results here for further input by forum members.

Bent valves can cause engine rattling & improper idling (brake & quench), most likely timing belt severed while in motion. Ask a good mechanic to help you check if your timing belt was properly fitted & set.

Yea. it does exactly that. brake and quench and also doesnt select gear properly then it quenches. just got drafted to another bat and my mechanic is very far away. just needed to be sure the new one knows what he is doing.
Thanks

Do you buy the ball joint urself or your Mech buys for you? Do you buy toks or new ball joint? How long does it last before the k-leg? Have you had an accident with the affected wheel?

unavailable at the moment, but try again in 2weeks, I should be changing an engine soon, for compression loss. Crank shaft and oilpump should be ok.

I did reply. The car was withdrawn from the market and broke down again last week. The last Mech didn't set the oil pump timing well and it got beat up to pulp by the conrod. This is the 2nd time mechs mess

I bought this crank shaft last yr for 20k or so. 2 wks is a long to wait.

A mechanic poured Total classic sae 40 in my 99 CRV, since then there seem to be little oil shortage after sometimes and the car now smokes a bit unlike before, even when I've changed to total quartz. Any advice? The engine works fine but shakes when Ac is turned high. no engine light on.
There is suggestion of verve adjustment for this model
