However, if it's injection, make sure that all the joints and gaskets are in good condition. Check for loose mounts/fixings etc.
Good luck, and look after it,.

1988 honda prelude windows and sunroof won't work
There is a relay, and it should be in the fuse box. If it's not there, you may have a Constant Control Relay Module (CCRM). It's a big black and silver box around the radiator. The relay could be housed here. If so, you'll have to replace the entire box as these relays are not serviceable.
Trying to locate my fuel pump cut-off relay
On a 90 accord its located under the dash near the fuse box. I am not 100% sure that the prelude is the same. On the accord it has 8 terminals and it was kinda difficult to get to. Honda is pretty good at placing things on different makes in the same location.

check if you can turn motor over by hand if you cant motor has seized (rust in cylinder bores) can try removing spark plugs and put a few squirts of oil in cylinder let it soak for a day or two then try to turn over by hand with plugs out still if it frees up put plugs in and try and start be warned it may get a little smokey till oil burns off.

Carefully look over what you did, make sure you examine every plug, wire,vacuum line and connection. If it was running before the job then more then likely you accidentally forgot something.
LOOKING FOR BLEEDER VALVE
Are you talking about the clutch? If so, it is on the front of the cylinder under some wires and stuff. Its a pain to get at but do-able. I used a 1/4 inch drive ratchet and mid depth socket when I replaced mine and had to bleed the system. If your having a problem with bleed down of the hydrolics replace the master and the slave. I did just the master and ended up replacing the slave too.
Black smoke
I have to disagree with diagnosis, sorry. Black smoke is rich mixture of fuel, & blue/white is oil and/or coolant .
