===========================

Has it ever stalled while it's warming up, like at a stop sign? What
does your owner's manual say about the frequency of valve adjustments,
and what's your mileage? The (early) CR-v manual is off by 55,000 Km, so
I wouldn't trust the Honda owner's manual anyway . . . I think you need
a valve adjustment / or it's too late.
