20 Most Recent 2000 Honda Prelude - Page 2 Questions & Answers

These transmissions are not difficult to fix as long as you are meticulous in cleaning and replacing EVERY o-ring and seal.A general mechanic would most likely not understand the importance of this or have the knowledge of honda automatics to repair it successfuly. If he charged you to fix it and it is not then is his problem till he refunds your money or makes it right.I always replace the torque converter and instal a new cooler so i know there is no remaining trash from the original failure in the system. Flushing the original cooler is dam near impossible.The filter is internal and just a little trash will restrict it and cause all kinds of bad symptoms especially when it is cold and the fluid is thicker.Without knowing the 4 digit code on the trans it is hard to get more specific on the source of your problem.

Hi there. Although the Dealer has changed the oil, did they do a 'Stall Test' whilst the gearbox was cold and again when at normal running temperture? If not, that's what they must do firstly. This will identify whether you have a slipping clutch/s. The Honda autobox also includes what is known as accumulators - these control how each clutch is engaged during acceleration. For example, if you are accelerating slighly/smoothly, you want each gear to be engaged gently and smoothly, whereas, when accelerating hard, you need the gear engaged quickly and hard to aviod clutch slippage. Thus, the fact that you are experiencing a hard engagement might mean that an accumulator/s is seized. If that's the case, it will mean that the autobox will need stripping, cleaning and be checked for worn components. Hope this helps, Scottech.

DIRTY INJECTORS OR SPARK PLUGS FOULED OUT.

Hi there Firstly, you need to locate the Autobox ECU and identify whether a fault code is showing. This will more accurately determine where the fault is where the Honda Dealer will be best placed to advice you accordingly. Best regards, Scottech.

check fuel pump.
turn the key to on so the dash lights come on but don't start it, do you hear the pump energize? if you are unsure, have someone get down by the tank and listen. if it's not running, the fuse or the relay could be bad. and possibly the pump

Check in your owner's manual packet. In my Audi, there was a supplemental guidebook for the audio system, and the security code was on a card in that packet. If it's not in there, you can go to the dealership with the car to get it - they can look it up based on the VIN of the vehicle.

You'll need the title to the vehicle (to prove it's your car), photo ID (to match you to the name on the title), and the car itself. The dealer will then put the code in for you (make sure they give you the code written down, and show you how to enter it for the next time you need it). The downside to this is that they'll probably charge you labor for doing this.

if you look in your owners manual it will show you what each fuse does and its location

Check to see if the caliper slide pins are siezed in the caliper base. Pretty common.

ORRECTION YOU ONLY HAVE 2 AND 4 THE 1,3 SOLENOID MUST BE DAMAGE

in the exhaust manifold or head pipe before the catalytic converter, a little bigger than a magic marker.

yes it could but before you replace the ecm or computer module check to make sure you are getting power to the computer it could be in the system between the ignition switch and the computer do you have the manual for it ? if not go to auto zone.com and look it up it should give a wiring diagram for your car also was this new engine out of another car? if so you may need to go back to where you got it and get the computer from that car they vary depending on options and features. reply to [email protected]

I had this exact same problem when i had RX7's. The rotary mechanic that is how the engine is designed. The is a screw underneath a rubber cap on your air intake. That screw is your needle. You can raise or lower your Idle to suit the driving conditions.

your o2 sensor is not reading right change it out and it will be fine

You clutch packs have worn out and the not shifting properly when hot confirms this, you may check transmission line pressure, hopefully I am wrong but most likely you need a total transmission rebuild. and a front wheel drive automatic is the most expensive rebuild out there.

It sounds like your head may even be cracked....

The rod that is bad, fell off or the wiper itself is stripped out
