1999 Honda Prelude - Page 3 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Is it getting too much gas? check plugs sooty and black means too much fuel check light could be oxy sensor perhaps heater not working. This will cause fuel air mixture problems hope this helps mileage quite high but should be OK for Honda.

That's not a question.

If you take your stereo out of your dash, and look on the casing for it for a sticker, the code should be printed on it.

Follow the top radiator hose which is clamped to the thermostat housing, it is inside that housing.

This depends as dose it do it when cold or hot.
2nd when you push in pedal and put in gear dose it go in clean or hard to select 3rd can you hear a grinding noise when pushing in pedal and noise goes
when you take you foot off the clutch pedal IF so then its the thrust bearing on clutch REPLACE ALL .4th if you push in clutch pedal and select a gear and let the clutch out if drive right out (replace)

First possible solution: On many Hondas the AC button will only light when you slide the blower fan on. (The right slider knob on a 92 Prelude)

The second solution: When you notice your AC button NOT lighting, pay attention to see if your vent selector buttons actually switch your air direction from floor to face to defrost, etc. Also, take not to see if they fail to light also. If the other buttons don't light, you may have to pull out and disassemble your climate control cluster to actually "re-solder" the terminals on the GREEN PLUG receptacle back on to the circuit board. It's a difficult task to get out and in but if you're very careful, nothing gets broke. I have done this repair recently to a Prelude and it worked. There is not enough reinforcement on the board for this plug and it wiggles enough to cause a cold solder (broken connection).

Fuse box access is right beside your "hood release lever" down by your left foot while in driver's seat. Left kick panel area... Not aware of a black switch under steering wheel.

Try replacing Oxygen sensor (top of exhaust pipe just rear of engine; 22mm ring-spanner job after cutting wires); though normally comes up with Code 1 on the MIL, this is the right bunch of symptoms.

it look like your car's oil filter is loose tight it to stop the leak

A thrown rod can do a lot of damage to an engine. It'll have to come out, torn down and assessed. May be better off with installing a new/rebuilt engine.

But with 60,000 miles maybe it's still under warranty -- I'd call a dealer to check on the warranty.

if its not taking gas when you fill up U should look at the evap emissions canister. could also be the intake air temperature or map / mass air flow sensor. Hope this helps out.

That is a good place to start. The fuel pump over could be getting weak on long drives. The Throttle body should be cleaned. The problem could be from a Sensor sticking when getting hot. Such as Mass Air Flow, Idle Air control, Oxygen Sensor, Camshaft position sensor, Crankshaft position sensor. ecu, ( Electronic Computer ). I would take to the local shop and have a Mechanic check it out.

infront of the catalyst converter

you must make arithmetical calculation.
how it was the exchange ratio of your gear with 39 tooth?
put in place of 39 45 and result new ratio in your gear, and see if there is benefit or damage to you r gear or engine or transsmision.

U are right about the fact u got taken, it may be that the cross reference the seller used was incorrect, but in any event make him take it back and refund shipping as well or have him send the correct trans with a pre paid freight return label to ship th old one back. did u pay with paypal? if so file a dispute with them. I recently bought a set of wheels and tires, they where not as described, I filed a complaint with paypal and the seller bent over backwards to make it Right.

its in the engine intake and is a peice of **** to change..handy little job

I think you should recheck the battery installation, if there is no fault then the remote is defective or the cars receiver that picks up the signal, it is more likely that that remote is the culprit.

sounds like you have a vacumn leak some where need to find that first

you need to have a code scan done firstthen tell us what code it is to help you better

this is an over-ride convenience feature...that allows you to place the transmission in neutral to roll the car when the engine is off...useful for short moves inside a garage...use the regular key or any key-shaped object....
rate me FIXYA!...thanks
