Remove the rcoker cover (8 nuts and a little fiddling about), turn it over and you'll find 4 thick rubber o-rings. These perish overtime and allow oil from the head to seep down the spark plug holes. They can be purchased separately from Honda or my advice will be buy a rocker cover seal kit which will include main rocker gasket, spark plug seals, 8 x rocker top washers and 8 closed-head nuts. Well worth the extra cash. Peace!
When changing spark plugs for the first time, a diagram comes in handy. A spark plug wiring diagram for a 1999 Honda Prelude can be found in its maintenance manual.
in the front of the block.
Screwed into the head.
.044 for stock h22
Coil, distributor, bad wire.
behind the passager strut tower... spark wire runs from it to distributor
What year? For a 1996 Si, NGK ZFR5F-11 is what I use.
The spark plug cap on a 1988 Honda Prelude is a protective cover that fits over the spark plug to ensure a secure connection between the ignition coil and the spark plug itself. It helps prevent moisture and dirt from entering the spark plug area, ensuring reliable electrical conductivity and engine performance. In addition, it aids in preventing misfires and contributes to the overall efficiency of the ignition system. If damaged, it may cause starting issues or rough engine performance.
are you getting fuel past the fuel filter. do you have spark at the spark plugs
Either the coil is bad or the ignition control module is bad.I would think the coil is faulty.
bad ignition coil, bad plugs. bad plug wires, bad ignition control module........
I use regular ngk spark plugs BUT i have a f22b motor from an accord in my prelude which isn't high compression like the h23a that i had in it or the h22a in that case i would use the ngk or denso iridium spark plugs. You can buy them at any automotive store (though some stores might have to order them. You can find them for cheaper online too).
