The car does not smoke on start The car does not have any issue to start. AC works great. Gears do not grind. Radio and antenna work.
The CRV valve may need attention as, ccasionally, he second turbo does not engage properly. This issue usually occurs during the first few miles. I suspect that the car just needs to be used more as I rarely use it above 5000rpm, hich is when the second turbo begins spooling.
