Top 20 1993 Honda Prelude - Page 4 Questions & Answers

Change the coolant sensor

I do not know for sure about the prelude but once you take the lug nuts off of most vehicles, the only thing holding the rotors on is the brake pads. Usually, you can remove a couple of bolts from the back of the calipers, maybe just one and the calipers swing on a hings away from the rotors. One swift kick to the rotor will usually free it up. Who needs a rubber mallet.

you may have to replace the unit on the back of the ignition(key) barrel.

The fuel pump jump started? The fuel pump relay is in the dashboard relay center. The fuel pump is inside the fuel tank. The pumps do fail entirely nd the fuel pump should make some sound if it's running. The fuel filter is on the firewall on the drivers side. It has a bleeder screw in the top of the bnjo bolt that holds the fuel line onto the filter. Loosening this bolt should release fuel pressure. With the bolt loose try to get the pump running ( knock on the relay, fuel tank, while cranking the engine) if fuel flows the engine should run if you don't have other problems. Low battery will crank the engine but not turn on the fuel pump and or the injection system and even the ingtion system. It may still crank and sound OK. Voltmeter the battery with the engine cranking, Less that 10 volts it's unlikly to start. John

Here:

First try that new bulb in the other working side just to double check it. If it blinks then great. Second take a pocket knife or a toothbrush size wire brush and scrape the inside of the bulb housing so the bulb can get a better ground, Clean the conntact point that the end of the bulb sits on in the bottom of the housing too. Let me know if this does the trick, I can use all the thumbs up I can get. Raz

Check fuel pressure.

Did you do a full tune up?
Do a compression test and check for any cyclinder that is low in PSI.
Look of wet plug and oil coated plug(s).
== Which item CO,NOx,Hc is failing?
You may need to repose to add information.
Use a plug non-fouler / protector on the weak cylinder will help if HC is just shy from the passing limit.

If I remember correctly, on the prelude it can be reached through the trunk. Lift the carpeting and/or mat to expose the access door.panel. Disconnect the negative side of the battery for safety purposes. Label the fuel lines with a piece of tape if you like. Disconnect them. Remove the nuts that hold the assembly in. It's usually best to put a mark on the pump and the tank, just in case you have any trouble aligning the new one in the tank. Carefully remove the pump assembly with a lifting and turning motion remembering what angle the pump faced. It's relatively quick and easy.

Kindly get back to me with a kind word if I've helped in any way.

you have got a bad earth. Remove dash the nagtive wire has a weak supply which is connected to your fuel gauge .Connect a wire from the dash nagtive and groud it to the body of the vehicle.

my car doesn't want start.

Change your air filter first.

this sounds like the cable has run inside the motor, and the clicking sound you can hear is the motor tuning on the cable, you will have to remove the door panel and the motor to either re run the cable if it is out of its fixing, or replace the motor as this is normally an all in one unit and has to be replaced as one inc the cable....hope this helps

Most likely an air fault, check the airflow meter and air flow sensor, if it is not getting air then it will not start, keep pumping the gas if you can smell it after a while then its getting plenty of fuel.

ITS FROM 750 TO 1800 INSTALLED.

it's on the in take plenum underneath the runners u should be able to see it from the top of the motor . Also check coolant level if the rpms fluctuate due to the coolant temp sensor not submerged in coolant.

I have the diagram you need if you want me to send it to you. Send me your email address and I will send you the pictures and explanations on how to time it. [email protected]
