Smelled gas and noticed the vehicle was using an excessive amount of gas for the distance traveled. The next day I had to stop for gas again (had just gotten gas the previous day) and as I was putting the nozzle back into the gas pump, gas started gushing from underneath my vehicle. Approximately 20 minutes later it slowed to a drip and then completely stopped a few minutes afterwards. A store employee came to assist and he thought it was an overflow issue and thought it would be okay to drive. We'd pushed the vehicle to a dry area before cranking it to make sure it didn't leak anymore. On the way home, within a 10 mile stretch I lost half of a tank of gas. That was on a wednesday, I didn't move the vehicle again until friday morning. The ground was saturated with gas when I left for work that friday morning. I'd already arranged to drop it off at the auto shop that morning before work. The engine light came on within minutes of leaving home. The shop determined it was a cracked washer/nut that secures the fuel pump inside the tank. The pump was literally sitting at the top of the tank hitting underneath the back seat. The shop mechanic said it was a miracle it didn't catch fire and blow up. It's back in the shop again because it's still leaking gas. The ground where I park was saturated again for the past 3 days (I'd moved it to a different spot every day for several days to determine it was still leaking. It'd remained parked for the past 3 days except for moving it over to a dry spot. I had to stop for gas on the way to work this morning, although I should've had enough to get there but the gas hand was dropping. I filled the tank up and when I reached my destination I was back down to half a tank. I drove 45 miles from where I got gas. I called the auto shop and they're currently trying to determine where the gas is coming from.

Vehicle would not start at all, then left it for 2 hours and came back and it started. Then 2 months later it is starting fine, but stalling quite often while driving. It will sometimes cut out and then recover and keep going (the check engine light comes on when it cuts out, but goes out again when it keeps going) other times it stalls. The check engine light comes on when it stalls but everything else still works (radio, lights). It has stalled on the highway at 65-70 MPH, in the city at 40 MPH, also slowing to take a turn. This started out only stalling once in a few days. It is now stalling several times in a day. I don't drive it that far anymore, but I still have to drive it because the garage does not find anything wrong. There were no codes, and they could find nothing. I don't know for sure what is happening with it, but reading the forums it sounds like it might be the ignition switch.

The malfunction indicator light on my 2003 honda crv came on twice. First incident happened december 2005, and second incident happened on march 21, 2006. On the first incident, the malfunction light went away after checking the fuel cap wasn't closed properly. Second incident, I took the crv to a honda trained technician and had it diagnosed. The diagnostic was performed on 3/22/2006. The sensor inside the throttle body assemble is malfunctioning. Contacted the dealer (honda stevens creek, san jose) and explained the situation. They noted that warrantly for such parts are only covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles whichever comes first. My crv was bought brand new and currently have 38,000 miles, which means honda will not cover for the replacement. Replacement of the complete throttle body assembly cost $800+ and does not include labor and diagnostic cost.
