Thanks for the advice, will try to have the OBD scan before the month ends.

I actually initially had it towed to Honda casa (sta. rosa laguna) back in early October 2009 (roughly 1 week-and-a half after Ondoy) as that was the only Honda casa which was able to accomodate my CRV - albeit being number 78th or was it 87th in the long line of vehicles towed in. Other Honda service centers were already fully-booked obviously by vehicles which suffered the same fate within metro manila.

Of course, when I got the initial quote of P368,000+ for parts to be replaced (computer box included), I just didn't have that kind of money to spend on the vehicle considering the whole 1st floor of our house and a whole bunch of furnitures/appliances needed to be repaired (most were thrown away) or replaced. I had to make a decision to just pull it out of the service center and look for a repair shop elsewhere - this was a bad move but priorities must be set back then.

I'm not ready to part yet from the CRV so I'm slowly trying to "revive" it - and with our 5-month-old baby boy, the CRV would just have to take the back seat especially on spending priorities...

And so the complete revival of the V might take sometime to finish or realize but maybe it'll still be around to bring along for short rides or family trips - now I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one
