For a car to run it must have ignition, fuel and air (for combustion). each of these can be checked easily:

1) If you have a rubber glove or plastic bad, take off the to the distributor (from the coil) and hold it with the glove or plastic material about 1/4 inch from a piece of clear metal on the car body or engine (a bolt works). If it sparks the ignition is ok when you have someone crank over the engine.

2) take the top of the air cleaner off to see if you can confirm gasoline is being pumped when someone cranks the engine. Or, get some starter fluid and spray it into the air cleaner when it is cranked over by someone. If it starts and dies again it is either your fuel pump or it is out of gas. If the air cleaner is dirty try the above without it (replace if dirty).

If the above does not work it needs to be checked by a mechanic.

try finding i different source of voltage . try a power point rather then the lighter

420 is catalist efficiency below threshold. Bank 1. This could be caused by a leaking exhaust before the converter or that the converter itself is going bad.

Hi, please interpret you question in English so as to enable me read, understand and proffer a solution.....

The procedure to replace the tail light is as follows:--- 1) Open the trunk. 2) Push the trunk fasteners in until it pops using a flathead screwdriver to remove the lining and access the bulb sockets. 3) Remove the frame away from trunk and you will see the light bulb assembly. 4)Twist the bulb out of the assembly towards counter clock wise direction.It will come out. 5)To remove whole tail light assembly.Its connected with screws.Remove those screws and disconnect the wiring connector from its side and lift the tail light assembly out. 6)But if you want to only replace the bulb then no need to remove whole tail light assembly out.Just remove bulb and replace new bulb in reverse and install all parts in reverse. -------------- This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

ABS units do not have weep holes. It might be a bleeder valve, but it's not supposed to leak. Have it looked at.

Does it stay on??? All engine lights come on when you start the car...then go off. You need to give a bit more info.

Start from middle of head criss crossing outward. !st step 22ft/lbs and second step 49 ft/lbs.

what incident?

If they fog up when you turn the heater on, you could have a leaking heater core. You should also be able to detect the smell of antifreeze.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

Try to have an oil change. The present motor oil inside the engine can be a little sludgy and an oil change can resolve this.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Hi, follow the instruction below on how to replace the ignition switch..

• Disconnect the negative battery cable from the terminal on the battery. Remove the upper and lower steering column covers by unscrewing or unclipping them.
• Remove the steering wheel by lifting off the center cover, disconnecting the horn wire and removing the retaining nut and washer. Make a mark on the steering wheel spline and the wheel itself so you can line it back up precisely. Pull the steering wheel straight back to remove from the shaft.
• Take off windshield wiper and turn signal switches by pulling them off as you did the steering wheel and disconnect the wiring. Slide the spacer sleeve off of the steering column.
• Unscrew the ignition switch mounting screws. Pull out the ignition switch. Disconnect the wiring connector from back of the ignition switch. Simply loosen the tabs and pull it out.
• Insert your key into the ignition. Turn the ignition switch to the locked position. Depress the retaining pin with a small screwdriver and turn the key to the Off position to free the cylinder. Once it is free, turn the key to lock position and remove the key and key cylinder.
• Install your old key cylinder into the new ignition switch assembly. Make sure the contacts in the cylinder and assembly line up. Reattach wiring to ignition switch, slide it into place, screw in mounting screws and reassemble steering wheel and switches.

Disconnect the negative battery cable and lay it to the side, ensuring that it does not touch metal. Jack the Prelude up and support it with jack stands. Remove the left front wheel using the lug wrench. Remove the lower splash guard using the appropriate socket.

Place the block of wood on the floor jack, then push the jack under the engine. Jack it up enough to contact the oil pan, to support the engine. Remove the accessory drive belts by loosening the accessory drive belt tensioner to relive tension on the belts. Lift the belts off the pulleys. Remove the left engine mount using the appropriate socket.

Unbolt the speed control actuator, but leave the control cable connected. Lay it

out of the way. Remove the alternator wiring from the valve cover by lifting it out of its wire loom. Unbolt the valve cover and carefully lift it off. If the rubber gasket looks dry, rotten or has cracks in it, replace it. Remove the upper timing belt cover using the appropriate sockets.

Remove the power steering pump, but do not disconnect the power steering high- and low-pressure hoses. Lay the pump out of the way. Work the dipstick back and forth to pull it out of the hole. Lay it aside.

Number the spark plug wires so you know where they go when you put the Prelude back together. Pull the wires off the plugs. Remove the plugs using the spark plug socket. Stick the long screwdriver in the No. 1 cylinder spark plug hole--the hole closest to the timing belt. Turn the engine crankshaft counterclockwise until you feel the piston push the screwdriver up to the top of the piston bore. The screwdriver will stop moving when it is at the top. Check the timing marks on the flywheel. The pointer located in the hole should line up with the hash mark on the flywheel. If not, turn the engine over once again until the piston is at the top of the bore, and the marks will line up.

not really. The engine uses hydraulic lash adjusters, so there is nothing for him to adjust. If the engine has been run at all, the valves should be seated. If not, maybe the guides were over-knurled. Can't really tell why they are clicking. Can he provide specifics of what was done to the engine? Does it have new lash adjusters? Were the guides knurled or what was done with the guides? What was done to the valves? Are the springs new? Are the camshafts new? etc. etc.
