Is it possible for the ECU to have a single defect with the car continuing to operate? POSSIBLE? Yes. PROBABLE No. The actual defect rate for vehicle onboard computers is EXTREMELY RARE. If a mechanic is telling you this, run the other way. However, a sensor that sends the computer its data can be defective; or, defective only at times, working OK at other times. Get another evaluation and DO NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE FIRST DIAGNOSIS. Don't help them in any way. Let them analyze the problem without input from you. DON'T KEEP ANY PAPERWORK FROM OTHER EVALUATIONS IN YOUR GLOVE COMPARTMENT. THAT'S ONE OF THE PLACES THEY LOOK TO SEE IF YOU WENT TO ANOTHER SHOP. THEY KNOW A HIGH-COST REPAIR WILL SEND YOU TO THEM -- AND THEY KNOW YOU ARE FAR MORE LIKELY TO SPEND YOUR MONEY AT THE LAST PLACE YOU ARE AT, RATHER THAN TAKE YOUR CAR BACK TO THE FIRST PLACE.

What engine does a prelude got?

Considering there were five generations of the Honda Prelude, this question needs to be more specific. The Prelude lineup featured a variety of engines over the years of different engine families, ranging from 1.8L to 2.3L The fifth generation Prelude (1997-2001) featured a 2.2L DOHC VTEC engine rated for appr. 195-200bhp. The fourth generation Prelude (1992-1996) featured two different engine families, the "H" engine and the "F" engine. The "H" engine in the 4th gen is a DOHC design, the 2.2L variant having VTEC, featured in the VTEC trim and being rated for 180bhp-190bhp at the end of the generation. The 2.3L "H" engine was DOHC but did not feature VTEC, was found in the SI trim, and rated for 160bhp. Finally, the basic level trim featured the 2.2L SOHC "F" engine, which also did not include VTEC. The "F" engine in the 4th gen Prelude is rated for 125hp. If you want more information on the older Prelude, or Prelude engine options outside of the USDM, check wikipedia as the Prelude article is maintained by dedicated Prelude enthusiasts.
