The speed sensor on a 1997 Honda Prelude operates by generating an electrical signal based on the rotational speed of the vehicle's transmission output shaft. It typically uses a magnetic or Hall-effect sensor to detect the movement of a toothed wheel attached to the shaft. As the vehicle moves, the sensor sends pulses to the engine control unit (ECU), which processes the information to calculate the vehicle's speed and relays it to the speedometer and other systems. This feedback helps in optimizing engine performance and ensuring accurate speed readings.
Yes, a D2J5 transmission from an 88 Honda Prelude can work with an 89 Honda Prelude Si, as both models share similar drivetrain components. However, it’s important to verify compatibility regarding specific features, like the gear ratios and any electronic connections. Always check for any potential differences in mounting points or sensor requirements before installation.
The Speed Sensor is located on the transmission twoards the back, you can identify it by the two vacuum lines running to it from the frame area.
you possibly blew a fuse. it may not be related to you O2 sensor
None of the dashboard lights work on my 1988 Prelude. Why?
replace your speed sensor
Not without electrical work. The 1997+ Preludes have OBD2 wire harness while the 92-96 Have OBD1. Different wire harness/sensors/ecu.
any engine will work with a little mod or alot of mods i wouldnt do it 86-89 honda accord should work
The speedo itself or the wiring to the speedo can be bad. The Speedo and all the dash light flickers. Trans. slip, but when i unplug the speed sensor the trans work ok. I change trans. 2 times, speed sensor, alternator, battery. The problem not gone. I need help
I just went through that exact problem with my 88 prelude, it was the ignition cylinder.
One of the harder swaps I've seen done in a Prelude. Much custom work that has to be done, should not be your first experience with building a car.
will a h23a vtech work in a 92 prelude? what extra will be needed or changed besides a chipped p28 ecu ..? I have a 92' Honda prelude s.i. with a h23a1 non vtech and im going to swap, but i need answers before i buy this engine..
Yes, with some custom mounts for the engine and transmission. This can be expensive if you have a shop do the work for you.
