Honda Prelude

The Honda Prelude is a two-door sports coupe produced from 1978 to 2001 by the Japanese automaker Honda. This car during its production run served as a testbed for a number of features that would eventually be commonplace for the rest of the Honda line: examples include double-wishbone suspension, four-wheel steering, fuel injection, VTEC (after the Acura NSX), and ATTS.

Due to unforseen consequences, you should really let a professional do your brakes. If you still insist, then, You may want to go to a car parts store, or book store, and get a repair manual for your car. They cost about $16.00 Or, go to a Public Library.

Asked by Wiki User

the igniter in the distributor, they are aften going bad in hondas, and causes a huge head ache. This is what I've done so far., This happens intermittently. It used to happen during the summer months but now even during the winter months it's been happening more frequently. Here's what i replaced so far. First : Main relay, Ign Coil, Dist Cap, Rotor, Plug wires, Spark Plugs. It happened 2 more times after the items above were replaced. Next items I replaced is below. Fuel Pump Fuel strainer Fuel filter Note each time this happens the car starts the next day or two and happens again weeks or a month later . I don't know what else to check. If anyone have any ideas please let me know. Thanks

What is the radio wiring diagram for a 1987 Honda Prelude?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As another poster mentioned, the same ones from a 94 explorer worked but with the Amp you need to hook the dk blue wire on the 8x1 plug into the blue/white wire coming out of your new stereo. Otherwise you get no sound. Its usually labeled remote wire.I would not do this without a harness adapter kit like a stingpro F-5511 or a merta 5511. Save you tons of work for the $10 you spend. Radio 12v lt. green/yellow + radio harness Radio Ground black or black/lt. green - radio harness Radio Ignition yellow/black + radio harness Radio Illumination lt. blue/red (dimmer) + radio harness Factory Amp Turn-on dk. blue + radio harness Power Antenna N/A LF Speaker +/- orange/lt. grn - lt. blue/wht +,- radio harness or amplifier RF Speaker +/- white/lt. grn - dk. green/org +,- radio harness or amplifier LR Speaker +/- pink/lt. green - tan/yellow +,- radio harness or amplifier RR Speaker +/- orange/red - black/white +,- radio harness or amplifier

How do you unlock steering wheel of Honda Prelude?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To unlock the steering wheel, insert the key in the ignition, and turn the wheel hard to the left, and then the right. This will usually unlock it. If it doesn't, remove the steering wheel, and look for the plastic tabs that are sticking. Press down firmly on the tab with a screwdriver, while moving the steering wheel.

Can you swap a '97 Prelude H22a with a '93 Prelude H22a?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Provided the '97 Prelude is a base model, then yes it is possible to swap in an H22a variant. The Prelude Type SH motor is different as the ATTS unit is connected to the motor. So, the only compatible H22a motors would be one from another Type SH, or the JDM Honda Prelude Type S motor.

How do you replace the thermostat located on a 1998 Honda Prelude?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Try looking at the lower radiator hose. It should end up somewhere on the block. In any normal car, that is where the thermostat housing is located. my guess is there are two bolts on either side of the T.H., and a red, blue, or black ring that runs along the base, which is a silicone gasket. remove the bolts and pry the housing from the block (be careful). the thermostat should be seated inside the housing. when you install it make sure its pointed in the right direction.

Slightly more precise answer....The thermostat housing is on top of the engine at the transmission end. The thing you're looking for is silver and has one radiator hose, two sensors and a bolt with a hole in the middle of it (the bleeder bolt) sticking out of it. The left end of this assembly is held in with two bolts, like the first responder said. Use a 12mm wrench to loosen the bleeder bolt, then use a 10mm socket to remove the two retaining bolts. Pull the assembly (we'll call it a cup) away and you'll find the thermostat in the piece that's in your hand. Look at how the thermostat's sitting in the cup, then remove it.

Put the gasket on your new thermostat, and set it in the cup the way the old one was in there. There's a pin on one side of the thermostat, and it should be at the top. Put the cup back in its mount, thread in the bolts and tighten them to 9 lb-ft, or 108 in-lb if you've got a 1/4" drive torque wrench.

Now remove the radiator cap and pour some coolant in there. Use either "all makes all models" coolant or Honda Genuine coolant--nothing else. When coolant comes out of the bleeder bolt, tighten it and replace the radiator cap.

Where do you addc transmission fluid on 1989 Honda prelude?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

On a manual transmission there should be a flush plug that will directly accept a1/2" ratchet less the socket. Remove this to check manual transmission fluid and to add it.

This plug can usually be found on the passenger side of the transmission just being the tire.

If a 1994 Honda Prelude vtec does not start but sometimes the engine turns and you changed the fuel pump and the distributer but still the car wont start until two hours later what could be wrong?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Probably the main relay up under the dash above the steering column on a right hand drive car - not sure about a LHD. I had this happen to me - once I drove 5 minutes down the road to the shop. When I returned to the car it would crank over as normal but wouldn't fire until I left it for a few minutes. Other times it would start fine every time then for no apparent reason I'd get a run of no starts.

I detected no spark so replaced the ignition coil in the distributor followed by the main relay - if the main relay fails the EFI module gets no power so no spark is generated but I'm pretty sure my coil was bad as well because it wouldn't produce a spark from my workbench power supply.

Answeryah um i just bought a 94 Honda prelude also and we went to look at it and started it and it worked fine so we shut the engine off. then like five minutes later we wanted to take it for a test drive and it wouldn't start and the car dealer said it was the relay so they put a new one in but sometimes it still doesnt start. so i don't know if that was the problem or not. AnswerDon't know much about cars - but my cousin's boyfriend fixed this exact same problem just LAST NIGHT!!!! My problems was the same...when the car did start, which was most of the time, it turned over and "caught" very quickly. However, it could sit overnight and not start or I could have turned it off 5 minutes prior and not start. It would just turn over and over and not "catch" or whatever.

Chris, my cousin's boyfriend, looked it up online and we think the cause was the main relay. Sometimes it develops corrosion and needs to be wiped off real good. That is what he did and so far, today, I have had no problems.

AnswerIF it's still not getting fuel (IS getting spark) after changing all that, I would see if it has a relay/circuit that is supposed to run the fuel pump for two seconds after the key is turned to 'on'. There is probably a little cube in the fuse box area that has a circuit that is failing intermittantly.....(get a repair manual and do some research and trouble shooting) Answerusually the main relay will cause this problem if its hot out, hot in ur car, or hot from running hard. if u park it in the summer witht he windows up and it heats up inside ur relay could be causing the problem. this is because the solder points on the circuit board inside crack and when its hot they expand and loose connection. i pulled mine, used a magnifying glass to find the point with the crack, and re-melted the solder. never had the problem since.

How do you adjust the valve clearance on a 1994 Prelude 2.3 engine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You need to take the valve cover off and set the engine to TDC for #1 and then TDC for #3 and so forth. you NEED a set of feeler gauges, you need the repair maunal to find the proper adjustment clearnces unless it is on your car's engine decal under the hood. (rule of thumb, adjust the valves when engine is under 100 degrees, also there should be a SLIGHT drag of the proper feeler gauge when the its set right.)
