20 Most Recent 1991 Honda Prelude - Page 4 Questions & Answers

There are fuses for the headlights, right and left. G201 is the ground connection number. I have no picture but its located RH Center of eng compartment. Usually on the radiator support.

This is a big job, and I list what to do, but I wou9ld also recommend you purchase a good manual, or go to alldatadiy site to purchase on line access to diagrams, info etc (great site) 1. disconnect battery ground cable @ battery and trans. case, unlock steering column, put trans. in neutral 2.disconnect back u light switch wires + black and white wire from starter solenoid 3remove air cleaner assembly 4.remove power steering speed sensor from the transaxle w/out removing the power steering hose 5remove the shift cable and the select cable from the top cover of the transaxle.Remove the mounting bolt from the cable stay. Be sure not to bend or kink the cable more than necessary. Remove both cables and the stay together. 6 Remove upper transaxle mounting bracket, remove the 4 transaxle to block attachment bolts that must be removed from the engine compartment. 7 Raise and support the vehicle safely. Remove both front wheels and splash shield 8 Drain the trans oil, remove clutch save cylinder. The cyl may be moved out of the way w/out disconnecting the hose 9 remove the center beam, remove the right radius rod completely, remove the right and left shafts. 10 remove the engine stiffener, remove the clutch cover, support the transaxle w/ a trans jack 11 remover the 3 lower bolts from the rear engine mounting bracket. Loosen but do not remove the top bolt. This bolt will support the weight o f the engine. 12 remove the 2 remaining engine to transaxle bolts. 13 with transaxle on a transmission jack disengage the input shaft from the clutch disc and lower the transaxle out of the vehicle. DO NOT ALLOW THE TRANSAXLE to hang on the input shaft. Once removal begins, remove it completely from the engine. Good luck, and please rate this, it took a while to get it down!

check all the wires coming from the battery first, does the car have an ALARM. get back to me Thanks Ray

Replace the thermostat or you may need a new radiator core.

Probably the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). Cheap and easy to change (see ebay), once found! Probably on top of gearbox, to rear.

if you go to your local parts store and order a cold air intake you will be happy with achieved horsepower if thats what you are looking for

Get a repair manual that has wiring diagrams. The gauge could just have gone out, or there is a loose/broken wire somewhere down the line. The repair manual will give advice on where to check and what your looking for. Also get a Multi meter to check things. The tach gets its input from the negative side of the coil, so check the wires at the coil and see if something is loose or dirty.

Yes under the new US/Obama deal you can get 4500 for it at a dealership if you buy a new car. The better the mpg of the car you get determines how much of the 4500 its worth. Other than that I would think 500 would be fair for a car that might not make it home.

i believe there is a tension bolt connected to the alternator.

its located on the upper radiator hose. You could see a joint in which the hose is attach. remove the 2 bolts and make sure after replacing it to seal it properly before bolting it back.

UNDER THE GLOVEBOX INSIDE THE PASSENGER KICKPLATE NEAR THE FLOOR IS A TWO WIRE CONNECTOR BEHIND THE PANEL. JUMP THIS CONNECTOR WITH A PAPER-CLIP AND TURN THE IGNITION SWITCH ON AND WATCH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COUNT THE FLASHES. ONE LONG FLASH AND THREE SHORT ONES INDICATES A CODE OF 13. IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE CODE THEN IT WILL FOLLOW THE FIRST CODE. THIS WILL SOLVE YOUR TROUBLES I AM SURE. LET ME KNOW. GOOD LUCK. P.S. IF YOU WANT TO ERASE THE CODE(S) THEN DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL FOR 10 SECONDS. BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO RESET THE CLOCK AND PRESETS.

It is not the fuel pump.

You may need to check if you have lost your refridgerant. It is possible that it leaked out.

There seems to be a break in the electrical circuit which is not getting contact, which only happens after u pull the ebrake one notch, however if it is not causing any operational problems then continue to do so till more probs arise.....................sodeep

reasons for no reverse 4th gears or worn and damage-reverse gears worn-4th clutch is faulty-control cable misadjusted-servo shaft stuck-1-2 shift valve faulty-electrical system is faulty.

The white smoke is from anti freeze. The smell of gas in your oil is probably from the same cause. I do beleive you did not clean the milled ares good enough before installing one or both of your gaskets. Just in case you did loosen one of the head bolts up for any reason....One bolt I do beleive on the right front bank of this engine has to be also sealed before re enstalling it for coolant will pass through it if not sealed

sounds like you have a dead battery and possible a bad altenator have the battery checked out and replace if bad. If not recharge and if the car starts have the charging system checked out you may have a bad altenator or voltage regulator probably built in the altenator. Possibly the starter but not likely since it stalled while running.

A plugged catalytic converter can set codes, but I think we need to concentrate on smoke right now. That's not saying that the converter wasn't a partial, or the cause of the white smoke. Has your oil level or coolant level been going down, or up recently, since this all started ?
You say he cleaned all the insides of the catalytic converter out, so there is no blockage there now, correct? Did you erase the code when you replaced the oxygen sensor, and it came back again? Finally, if you have white smoke rolling out your exhaust, it is usually caused by oil or coolant consumption getting into the cylinder, which could also be causing oxygen sensor to foul up & cause a code. I'd concentrate on finding the cause of the white smoke first. Cooling system pressure test, engine compression check should tell you , but so should consumption of oil or coolant increase. If the problem originated at the converter (plugged) it may have caused a blown head gasket for one thing. I'll wait for your reply.
