Best to fix it right buy a new fuel line .An inline filter couldnt handle the pressure cause with fuel injection you have alot more fuel pressure and using clamps you are risking your life with a good chance of a fire

are you asking the question....where is my hondas alt.located?

What is the year? Any lights come on ?

Make sure you block the front wheels and leave the car in gear before attempting to lift it. Raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Check for a binding parking brake cable for whichever tire is locked up. Remove the wheel that is locked up. If it's got drum brakes, remove the small rubber plug on the inside of the drum and use two flat screwdrivers to loosen the brake adjuster until you can get the drum off. Check the pads and the drum for excessive wear. Check the wheel cylinder for leaks and replace it if necessary. Check all the springs as well. If any of the springs are damaged, replace all of them (spring kits are only a few dollars). If it has disc brakes, check the pads and rotor for excessive wear. Remove the brake caliper and try to compress it (you will probably need a special tool for this, also only a few dollars at any parts store). If it is frozen, you need to replace the caliper. NOTE: if you replace any wheel cylinder or caliper, you will need to bleed the brake system before attempting to drive! Also, what is done to one side of your brakes should be done to the other at the same time. After all, those parts have most likely been on the car for the same amount of time, and it's imperative to keep the braking force even on both sides for safety's sake. Hope this helps.

Make sure your positive and negative hook ups from both cables to the battery are completely clean, has no corrosion on them, and that they are tight. It sounds like the cables have corrosion on them

An '80 prelude still on the road? The filter should be very simple. Loosen the fuel line clamps, pull the old out, put the new one in, making sure the direction of flow is correct. Tighten up the hose clamps, run the engine and check for leaks at the fittings.

there are two locations one is inside the fuel tank and the other is beside the fuel tank before the fuel filter

If you had a manifold,starter,alternator etc justreplacedHow is it that you have any problemsWas the entire car motor & drivetrain nottested while those items were & replacedassuming they even failedRelays last for a lifetimeYou may have a failed fuel pump & withall those parts replaced so far,not very good luckfor some reasonDid you buy someone elses problems

check your wires and spark plugs if they are fine it could be your fuel filter

You install the one the parts book calls for.

might be the pump its self goosed if its grounding inside the pump it will pop fuses dont disconect ecu though even touching them can knack them the static from your hands can wipe the programing where rubber gloves if you need to handle them hope this helps ivan

If you look again you will notice those three answers were "suggested" by the website and have dates from previous months or years.If you are still getting a crank sensor code, the problem could be the object on the crank the sensor is reading, or a problem with the wiring back to the computer.

Sorry bud you need a starter, relay contacts in the starter are very dirty or just plain worn out.

autozone or other auto parts stores cant do it for you?? if not try a local mecanic shop that has a machine that will take it off

First check fuses, then if your battery cables are conected and not cut, if anything else do as all the old timers say hit it and see if it works or new school like us take it to get tested for free at ANY major auto parts store

Sounds like the evaporator coil, or a hose to it is leaking inside the car. Do you see water on the ground with the car sitting and the air on? Maybe the drain is clogged? Mold build up has clogged drain?

what year / model

unhook battery for 20 minutes both cables.

make sure the cam timing is correct

No easy fix, or override for that. You have to pull the inner door panel off and hot wire the window motor to get the window up. With the panel off, you can diagnose the problem, maybe a broken feed wire where it enters the door.
