Where is the fuel pump located on a 1989 honda
Hi:
The fuel pump is mounted inside the tank. If your fuel pump isn't working, make sure you test/check your main relay first. They are prone to fail on your car, and will cause similar symptoms

Yes you timing belt/gear would be a
wonderful assumption, To confirm this one would need to look at it. If you got no ignition but it
sounds like its trying to start but does not your out of timing and the belt would need to be changed now if it broke there is a lot of things that would need to be looked at ( the horror story) You looking at $500
minium that is what you need to dig in you wallet for is $500 bucks.. Parts are going to be needed and the poor dude that gets under the hood will need some kickback too. Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at

I have a Honda Prelude 1989. How do I safely
The best way is to purchase a later model that has a larger, more powerful turbo charged engine to start with. What you are proposing is very expensive (parts and labor) and can lead to many future problems due to increased wear, problems with fuel, and strange quirks. The quickest way to improve what you have is to install a supercharger of some sort, but that can be problematic as well. Nitrous gas injection also produces more HP, but the equipment and gas is expensive and can lead to a damaged engine.

make sure you cooling fan is coming on (this should when the temp guage starts to climb) and also make sure the temp sensor that turns it on/off is good. You could also have low coolant or bad thermostat (the wrong mix of coolant) or oher major mechanical issues but start with the fan and coolant level/mix
Have a 1989 honda prelude si cant find fuel filter
Carbureted engines: Two filters; a small one is in the fuel line under the hood; a larger one is located at the rear, just inboard of the left rear wheel.
Fuel-injected engines: the filter is located in the engine compartment, against the firewall, just to the left (as you face the engine) of the throttle housing, and slightly lower (follow the fuel line from your fuel rail, where your injectors are, back to it). It has two fuel lines (in and out) going to it, and it is held in place by a clamp which bolts it to the firewall.
Hope this helps you find it.
Car wont start
If it has been sitting for 3 years it could be a number of things. First thing to try is a good tune up (plugs, wires, oil change, air filter, and fuel filter). If the plugs have fouled out they are not getting enough spark to burn the fuel. Also if the fuel itself has turned, you should try to drain the tank, this is not feasible at times and can be substituted by adding as much fresh gas as possible and a can of Octane boost/ Gas drier. SeaFoam is what I would recommend (found at your local autoparts store. If you have over half a tank of gas that has been sitting that long, you will need to find a way to drain what is in it. There are a few tricks to doing this without dropping the gas tank or sucking it out with a garden hose. Try the tune up first though.

There is a warm up valve on the throttle body(should have 2 small coolant hoses). remove the valve and have someone start the car while you block the port to the valve on the intake. If that clears up the problem you can cut a piece of cardboard to mount in between the valve and intake.should straighten it out.
