Well, you need to find out what is shorting. You can turn the car off and using a Volt/ohm meter on the amp setting, remove each fuse one at a time. The power across a fuse with the vehicle static should be in the milliamp range. How does he know it is drawing 9 amps? You pull each fuse and check in and reinstall and move on to the next one until you find the short.
Some times the alternator has internal shorts. It's pretty easy to remove it and take it to AutoZone for a free test. Just remember to remove the battery cable when removing it.

hi there i am willing to bet that the pipe is for the defroster or the air vent on the drivers side. you have to look up under the dash and try and see if you can locate the air vents this can be a pain in the you know were. all you got to do to locate were it came from is turn on your heat or ac and feel under the dash and you will feel the air flow and then you know atleast were the end goes now the hard part might be getting this back up there and on
hope this helps
Please leave me a rating

CHECK THE SPEED CABLE

Had same problem. Turned out that antifreeze was low causing insufficient water pressure. Could also be a bad sensor. I would check both.

If it doesn't unscrew then call the dealer --- ask for service and ask them .. KC

if it clicks when you try to start it might be the battery.
Turn on the lights and try to start.. and see if they dim out,
if so replace or charge the battery KC

No thats just the oxygen sensor warning light there could be some oil on the terminal or the sensor is stuffed.

my car did the same thing the problem was a $14 washer inside the oil filter fitting on the car you have to pull the filter conection off (from the car) bit of an *** around but pretty simple.

your 4ws sensor prob needs to be reset take it to a qualified mech.

try checking the timing...take the valve cover off...remove the rubber cover for your inspection window on the flywheel... line up the white line on your flywheel with the pointer...once your lined up at tdc with the flywheel check your cam sprockets and make sure they are in the right alignment...also take your cap off and look at where your rotor is pointing..making sure it is pointing at #1 cylinder

does this have a factory alarm? aftermarket? check for power out from the switch. starter relay, clutch safety switch, or starter......... have someone get a starter bypass and try to see if it starts. any parts store will tell you if its bad. good luck mark as fixya thanks

I am having the same problem; I cannot find a 93 Prelude sunroof. But the answer is no you can't use any other year of sunroof on ours. Just about everything else but the roof will fit. Hope this helped.

Smoking out the tailpipe is usually caused by worn rings, or really worn valve guide seals. (if it is an oil smoke) If it is a black smoke, it is running too rich, maybe an injector leaking or stuck open.

Transmission shift cable needs adjusted

check for a blown ignition fuse in the fusebox. more info would help....Do the dash lights come on in the KEY-ON position?
Will it crank over? while its cranking is the engine light on?

check your fliuds

Is your battery is in good condition also check your alternator load is correct....

Exhaust pipe rubber hanger, or muffler
