I own a 1999 Honda CR-V. the check engine light came on around 102,000 miles. The car began losing power, shaking while idling and chugging loudly during gear shifting. One day the engine just died, right in the middle of the parking lot I was driving through. No warning. I then took it to a mechanic I trust. They first had me replace the distributor cap, rotor, spark plugs and wires. It took them two visits to finally realize the valves were burnt and the head now must be replaced. Average cost to replace is $3500 to $4000. I have been researching this and it is a common complaint for 1997 to 2000 plus models. This problem must be stopped before someone is seriously injured.
