Hello, This code means your #4 cylinder is misfiring. There were 2 different coil systems used for the 2 engine styles that year. The top of the Intake manifold will need to be removed to provide access.

The 4 Valve engine used coil-paks and you need to mark the position of each sparkplug in relation to the post on the coil-pak. Check the terminals for corrosion, it may be fixed with a simple cleaning, or you may need a new coil-pak for this pair of cylinders. With most of the work already done, you may want to replace #4 sparkplug and the rest while the intake manifold is off.

The 2 Valve engine had a coil on each plug. Usually there is a 10,000OHM resistance from the top of the coil to the bottom terminal. You can take the coil into Autozone, Oreillys, or Advance and they may be able to test it. Again, now would be a good time to replace all the plugs while the intake manifold is off.

i would check the plug wires and the coils you check the plug wires for bad spots at night start the motor up and look at the plugs if you see a spark arch out the wire and to a peace of metal then the plug wires need to be replace.

2000 honda crv p1399 and p0301 check engine codes

Code P1399 is specific to Honda - it is an error code for "multiple variable misfires detected". P0301-P0304 are common OBDC codes for all cars, specifically "misfire in cylinder X".

You will get the P0301-P0304 codes on your OBDC reader when you plug it in (if actually errors), but will only find the P1399 if you select Honda as the manufacturer.

Just got these errors today on my CRV 2000. Now I have to figure out what is causing two of the cylinders to misfire.

P0304 is what?

P0304 is Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected.

Basically, your number 4 cylinder is misfiring. Maybe a bad spark plug, or bad fuel injector. These causes are only guesses because many thing can cause a misfire in one cylinder.
