My wife CRV doesn't want to idle
At 195000 Km I replace the timming belt ,thinking it is the cause of the poor idling.
After I replaced the timming belt, I test drive it about 25 km and it ran Ok
Try to start it again in the morning and it didn't want to start.
Like this for 3 days so ,
Replaced the distributor cap + rotor button + spark plug leads = still didn't idle
Replaced the coil
it runs but still not idling
what can i do?

Check the valve lash clearance. We have had several posters with old Vs that found insufficient clearance on the valves.
Welcome to the club! Hope you find your problem.

You didn't say what year your V is, but your references to timing belt, distributor cap, rotor and plug wires say Gen 1 (B20 engine).
Along with the valve adjustment, your Idle Air Control (IAC) valve could also be the problem. It may well need cleaning or replacement. The following reference may help.

The IAC valve is part #17 and it mounts to your intake manifold near the throttle body.
