20 Most Recent 1988 Honda Prelude - Page 7 Questions & Answers

The most likely cause of your problem is a hydraulic system problem. Your clutch system works off of hydraulic pressure and if there is a leak or it ran out of fluid it will cause the problem you have. The first thing to do is check the master cylinder to be sure that it is full of fluid. If it is not then you have a leak somewhere.
You could have a problem with either your master cylinder or slave cylinder.

any brand will do, but I would use castrol 5w-30.

tire rotation, air filter, breather element,
Inspections:
Timing belt for wear and tear
other belts be it V-belts or Serpentine
radiator fluid (older than 3 years needs a flush and fill)
transmission fluid and filter change. if its a manual transmission then change the gear oil
Battery inspection
Ignition system--- Spark plug gaps,wires,cap and rotor and coil inspection.
Motor Mounts inspection
Other things good for a car of that high of mileage are flushing out the old brake fluid and filling with new....same for power steering.
mostly inspections
Last but not least... put a can of Seafoam* into your gas tank and drive it on the highway for at least 30-45 minutes. congrats on your high mileage honda :-]

go to a Honda Dealership and ask them to order a new sunroof gasket replacement kit. they have em and they may even have instructions on how to remove the old and install the new. I've had awesome experiences with the Honda parts division. Hope this was the answer you wanted. (don't even look for an after market one..unless you want a nightmare)

is this car from japan with 4 wheel steering

bro, i think your clutch is mess up. have it replace

i recently worked on a 90 civic and i was able to adjust the idle by loosening the throttle cable near the throttlebody (there are a couple of nuts) and adjust it by moving the nuts along the cable adjuster by spinning them until the car idled well again and the owner has had no problems since
(it was not stalling but was very close to it especially at stop lights)
hope this works for you!

sounds like your park/neutral safety switch is faulty
next time it does this shift the transmission into neutral and it should start up
this could also be the reason your car wont start in your other post

motor will not turn over at all? well sounds like one of two things
1 you broke the timing belt and the pistons hit the valves sticking one thru a piston, thats why it wont turn over
2 you have a wiring problem keeping enough voltage from getting to your starter

the alternator could be draining the battery...

timing belt jumped?

change the sensor

Not really enough info! Does it crank over asnd not start??? Frankster016

No sticker on driver or passenger door or door post? I'm showing 2 stock options, 185/70/13 & 195/60/14.

This could be a couple of things to be quite honest with you. I would first check the condition of the tires . Rub your hand flatly over the tread and see if it feels like a series of hills and valleys this is called cupping and can cause severe vibration. I would also recommend checking the wheel bearing for play. The cause could be a warped rotor or two. The first thing to do would be CHECK THE TORQUE ON THE WHEEL LUG NUTS before you move the car another foot. Please for your own safety.

Did your Car get Hot any at all?????

try cleaning your carbs and changing the fuel filter sounds like the filter is getting cloged

this may be 2 seperate problems, fuel guage issue may be the fuel guage sending unit, the temp guage may be a stuck open thermostat. Have the engine temp checked after driving at least 5 miles, does the gas guage ever move around even a little, if so it is the fuel gauge sending unit in the tank.

This should be a piece of cake for you.

you have a short in the electrical system some where. it has to be located and fixed before you burn up your whole car.
