Is there a mod for the pop-up lights for a 91 prelude?

what mod? The only two I am aware of is the "sleepy eyes" which the lights only open half way or a conversion to the rare inx prelude front which removes the pop-up lights entirely.

What is wrong with your directionals if the green light on the dash stays on and does not blink?

Check the following...........turn signal bulbs front and rear, and brake lights, probably a burned out bulb or a bad connection due to corrosion in the bulb socket, finally check the turn signal flasher, under the dashboard, if the bulbs turn out to be OK. To control corrosion in bulb sockets use a di-electric grease that seals the socket to bulb connection and repells water.

What is Die Meistersinger Prelude?

"Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg" is a famous opera by Richard Wagner, focused around a nobleman in a singing contest for a lady's hand in marriage.

The prelude to this is an orchestral piece, written by Wagner, which is fairly significant. About 10 minutes in length, it is something of a grand piece, and includes the major leitmotifs of the opera.

There are several solos, including a soli between the string basses and tuba (and is commonly considered a staple in a orchestral tuba's repertoire.

How many oxygen sensors are in a 1992 Honda Prelude?

All models have one, though it differs sightly if you have a DOHC. Most aftermarket O2 sensors for the 92 Prelude fit all models.

What would cause the brake light to remain illuminated on a 1992 Volkswagen Golf even when the car is not running?

On the left hand side by your steering wheel theres a swtich with a light on it. Press it. I cannot tell by your question WHICH brake light you're talking about. If it is on the instrument panel, then I don't know. However, if you're talking about the brake lights on the rear of the vehicle staying on, then the cause is probably a misadjusted brake light SWITCH. Or the switch could be defective.

How do you replace the wheel studs on a 91 Honda Prelude?

They are pressed in the hub so you have to knock them out. I use an air hammer with a flat tip hammering bit. when you install the new studs you slide them in the hole then use an OLD lug nut and with an air powered impact gun, screw the lug nut on the stud until the new stud is pulled tight in the hub, you want it to look like one of the old studs. MAKE SURE there is no gap between the hub and lug nut on the back side of the hub. Then torque to specifications. wich i belive is 115 ft lbs. but dont quote me....

What would cause a 1990 Nissan 300ZX to rev up and down then sometimes cut off?

It's probably the Power Transistor Unit (PTI). These go out on just about all 1990-93 ZXs.

Unfortunately this symptom can have more than 1 cause.

One of the more common causes is a device at the back of your engine called an AIV.

(Air Intake Valve) it actually comprises of 2 valves. One that controls Idle (at running temp) without AC (Air Conditioner) and one for when AC is on.

Usually it is the valve that controls Idle during AC off. Put simply it's made out of a spring and needle type of valve and the valve ends up sticking causing the engine to "hunt" for Idle and sometimes stalling altogether.

Sometimes taking the unit apart and cleaning the assy will fix it and sometimes it needs replacing altogether at a cost of around $200.00 AUD the 1st option should be tried!

How do you fix high idle problem on a 89 240sx?

If your idle was fine and then just became high, don't adjust the idle control screw. Your problem would be indicative of another issue. Perhaps a vacuum leak. turn the idle control screw to the left ... no neither of those.....your are getting air that is accounted for by the mass air flow sensor....there for its either a) throttle plate not closing or b) idle air controller stuck open.

Why would a 1992 Sunbird GT die when applying brakes and also revs up and down in a cycle?

Hey Pete==Have the brake booster checked out. The diaphragm may have a leak. GoodlukcJoe

just took it out for a test drive and it only happens when car is at operating temp not when cold any ideas?

try flushing out the fuel system. stuff builds up in there and it doesn't run as clean and as well as it should. also anylost power the car had wil be restored and your gas milage should improve. i have a 92 and it did the same thing

HeadlineIt's either a vacuum leak (check all hoses) or it's probably the Idle Air Control Motor (or IAR it's sometimes called) needing cleaning. These cars and other J-body cars too, are known for this problem, in fact not just GM cars either. My 92 3.1 V6 Sunbird does the same thing about every 5000-6000km, maybe even less. It's a little motor (usually black) with a 3 wire connector on it right near the Air Filter hose and throttle body and it has 3 vacuum lines in a row coming out the other side of the plenum it's attached to. A Haynes or Chilton manual will not show you the location of this motor and when you look it up and it usually says to take it to a mechanic because it needs to be hooked up to a computer. It doesn't in most cases (just disconnect the battery and reconnect when job is finished to reset the computer so it can "re-learn".) Use degreaser or Isopropyl alcohol or lighter fluid (something powerful that evaporates) there is a special spray too that my mechanic uses, anyway, submerge the motor, and don't worry about submersion it's a sealed motor anyway, shake out the excess (you'll see how dirty the excess fluid is.) wipe off and let cleaner evaporate/dry (unscrew the pintle and spring before cleaning so the cleaner gets right down in there, clean the spring and pintel too while your at it). Then reattach it to it's plenum (make sure to put the rubber O-ring back onto the neck of the motor)! If that doesn't work, take off the plenum the motor came off of, clean it and put back in with a new paper gasket (the original one is plastic and tends to get brittle from heat, mine broke apart in my hands after removal). Line the whole gasket with a thin layer of high-temp silicone for a good air-proof seal. If the motor is faulty (you can test it by unscrewing the motor out of it's plenum and turning the key, then turning on the air conditioning. A/C causes the pintel to move in and out, although I guess anything requiring more air like revving the engine would work too. if it's faulty, get a new one, they are usually only about $20. Don't worry if it does this "erratic idling" a little again at first after cleaning, the computer is just re-learning and adjusting accordingly. You will notice (on the RPM needle) that when the idle goes wacko again, the computer and motor together will "flick" the RPMs back down to where they are supposed to be (I use the word flick because the needle will literally snap back to about 600-800 rpm when the engine starts to rev. to high or too low). This is how you know it's fixed. After the computer learns for a few drives and finds a happy medium, your idling at a stop light or when applying the brakes should be perfect. The only difference between this method and a mechanic is there is almost no computer re-learning (they adjust it to the happy medium by computer instead of letting the computer retrain itself.) The main thing is the little motor is clean and that's the most important part. (Well, for a little while anyway, till it gets dirty again!) Isn't this what air-filters are supposed to filter out? :)

Where is the fuel pump relay located in a Honda SI 1988 Prelude?

It should be under the dash and takes 5 mins to swap out, matushita RZ-XXXX it is called the "main relay" which does both the fuel pump and ignition. Assuming this is fuel injected. Just replaced mine in my 86 Si and it fixed problems with the pump not coming on all the time when starting. $70 from the dealer.
