1992 Honda Prelude - Page 4 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

first test your battery and then your connections and if thats ok then check your fuses

ok so hear me out, DO NOT! i repeat, NOT buy a h23... honda stopped making this motor completely in 97 these are the worst motors in the world! i know, your rod bearing blew, I KNOW! ive donr 30 of them. Buy an h22 swap for your car... or just the motor.. everything bolts up the same...then if you wan the performance wire up the vtec... 92-96 preludes came with the option of an h22... if you could find one out of your year model and not out of a 97 up, that would be best so all your vaccum lines are the same... youll have to use the h22 harness and ecu.. if its standard, you need to use a standard h22 harness, if its automatic, use an auto harness
hope this helps
replace the motor mounts that are bad

It is most likely the coolant temp sensor that is mounted to the radiator. It has single wire feed with an internal ground to activate the fan, and looks like this;

You should check all your fuses first. In the car, and in the engine compartment. The fuel pump should be checked as well, if u don't hear it the pump when u turn the key on, the pump might be burnt out of it. drop the tank to check the fuel pump. Also when the fuel pump goes on a car it doesn't send a code to the computer. When you turn the key on, the pump primes, and runs the whole time you run your car.
Hope you get it running, I recently replaced a pump in a 2000 Cav Z24 and it wasnt the pump it was the pre-screen in the tank was plugged.
Good Luck.

There is a switch on your brake pedal lever that is likely the cause. Good luck.

I would check -- 1. the fuse
2. the brake pedal brake light switch
3. the light bulbs themselves
4. could also be a bad ground to the lights

Hi,
You have two big things to do : - Check and fix the fuel line. The fuel filter, gas pump, hoses, fuel linkages should in good conditions. If your jetting is in problem, your primary jet should be has check and fix first.
- Ignition. The coil, spark plug and the cables. The coil should in good condition to produce good ignition. Ensure the cables are not have the leaks. The spark plug also must clean all times. If you have dirty spark plug, you may have rich AFR ( air fuel ratio) or you have the on oil seals ( piston or valves).
So just go through check your engine to seek where the root cause is.

start with spark use a tester, fuel supply and pressure, injector signal use a noid light, and finally compression

Yes.

It's not uncommon to see a lot of older model Honda still on the road. They'll often be either rusty or have after-market body parts because they out last the body put on them though that takes a long time too.

I say if you can get your hands on it and it doesn't have a bent frame from an accident then get it!

First check the fuel filter, than see if you have your spark plugs clean and that they do fire properly, if all fine than it can be only diagnostics job and a faulty sensor.

a coil

Huh? Check the radiator when it is loosing ur coolant, when ur driving or in the early morning when ur about to drive it?
Tell me more!

Exhaust is probably broken somwhere just need to get under there and inspect your exhaust system.

replace fan if want turn by hand . if turns by hand check fuse -relay-temp. sensor. check plug in with test lite. see if you have power.

You can purchase the window on Ebay and do it yourself with window silicone from a auto parts store for less than 60.00. If you take it is you would think its a cheap window but the molding is connected to the glass making it cost more than a windsheild to be replaced, About 180.00

The D4 light is a transmission code light for those cars probbly reading the speedometer going out and the check engine light the same. Have the codes checked or simply replace it. Here is one of many places to find it (just to give you a price range) http://www.bing.com/shopping/search?q=92%20prelude%20speedomotor&qpvt=92+prelude+speedomotor     best of luck

YOU CAN DISCONNECT NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE FOR 10 SECONDS TO RESET ECM.BUT IF YOUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEP COMING ON.HAVE VECHICLE SCANNED TO SEE WHAT TROUBLE CODE YOU ARE GETTING.

I would remove the cap to the master cylinder, then barely crack the bleeder valve. after that then you can compress the caliper with a c clamp. be careful, your gonna lose some brake fluid.
