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.

How do you check the transmission fluid level in 87 prelude?
I have a 1998 Jetta and the check plug is on the left side behind the drivers front wheel. It is a indented allan plug. It is about 2-3 inches above the bottom of the transmission. This is also the fill plug or can be used to fill at least.
Your Honda Prelude sparks but wont start?
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?
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.

How do you unlock steering wheel of Honda Prelude?
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.
What is the firing order for a 96 prelude?
Knowing the firing order of a vehicles engine can help a person to diagnose problems. The 1996 Prelude Firing Order is 1-3-4-2.
Can you swap a '97 Prelude H22a with a '93 Prelude H22a?
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?
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.
drain the box and change the oil is this dosent work try changing out the auto solenoids if they are available cheap otherwse there is not much you can do but bring it to a Honda agent and expect to pay big bucks for the fix.

Where do you addc transmission fluid on 1989 Honda prelude?
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.
How much will it cost to repair or replace a blown head gasket on a 1986 Honda Accord?
Somewhere around 500$ if done at a garage.
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?
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.)

How much horsepower does a 1997 Honda Prelude have?
Most markets had the Prelude at 195 hp (200 hp for the 1999-01 model years). The Japanese market-only Prelude Type SiR S-Spec and Type S had 220 hp.
Answertry a search for a prelude club website...of course all of theirs will be modified and they'll brag they have more than they actually do...very few can afford to pimp their ride AND a dyno test for HP at the wheel...
also, more in is always better than more out...I.E. Turbo, or throttle body, cam...instead of alot of noise and low backpressure in the out section(exhaust)
also ...know the basics
everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the library should have a professional shop manual available in the reference section for FREE to make copies of...read up and fix like a pro!!
) DaveThe prelude by Katherine Mansfield analysis?
"Prelude" "Prelude" - from Bliss and Other Stories(1920) "Prelude" was written in 1917 and has been said to be groundbreaking in the short story genre. Based on Mansfield's own family, it focuses on the need to retain a sense of individualism within the family unit. It spans just three days, opening with the family moving house to the country: "Holdalls, bags and boxes were piled up on the floor" - the metaphorical stage set that has defined their habits and roles lies scattered across the front garden. Despite the story's seemingly haphazard narrative, the story is intricately structured around the cycles of time and like its sequel, "At the Bay", has twelve sections reminiscent of months of the year and hours of the day. The essence of the family is that nothing is going to happen and nothing is going to change despite Linda's dreams of escape and Beryl's fantasy lover. Mansfield deals with the question of identity, so long explored by her contemporary Virginia Woolf, in "Prelude" and the concept of the false masks of society is seen most strongly in the character of Beryl. It is significant that Beryl has the name of a precious stone whose colour vacillates between nuances of green and blue serving to highlight the divisions within herself that she cannot synthesise, as she herself observes: 'it was her other self who had written that letter. It not only bored, it rather disgusted her real self' - an expression comparable to that in "Je ne Parle pas Francais": "my other self left me when I began to analyse my grand moment". Mansfield's characters hover on the brink of self-discovery, as in "A Dill Pickle" where "that old self" sporadically surfaces, always at the wrong moment. Beryl's unhappiness causes the adoption of a false front and the creation of a fantastical ideal lover and life: "There is a ball at Government house... Who is that exquisite creature in the eau-de-nil satin? Beryl Fairfield..." In fact, all of the characters are nourished on foundations of dream and fantasy. Even Alice the servant girl is addicted to the possibility of a meaningful existence in a different realm and is obsessed with dream interpretation books: "Alice dropped the knife and slid the dream book under the butter dish" - the private world is hidden just under the layers of trivial reality. Birds and music as images of the illusory world - Beryl's imaginary lover thrusts "his head among the bright waxy flowers' and 'birds I see that sing aloud from every tree." The bird motif suggests the common bond among the females as it symbolises a childbearing function and highlights the fact that Linda appears to have a fear of giving birth. The individual swabs of life in each section are united by this strength of the symbolism. The use of children suggests the time when adult dreams are hatched - the children go from playing 'hospital' to 'ladies', illustrating the fact that there is no difference between the fantasies of the children and those of adults. The only two characters who are not touched by fantasy are the practical grandmother and Pa, the coachman and it is evident that Mansfield venerates these characters because they fully exist in the real world. There is a recurring image of swelling in the story causing some critics to read "Prelude" as an annunciation of the birth of the author's brother. Linda strokes a small bird and finds that it begins to swell: "It grew bigger and bigger... It had become a baby with a big naked head and a gaping bird mouth." The central swelling image is the aloe growing on the front lawn of the house and was the initial title of the story: "Linda looked at the fat swelling plant with its cruel leaves and fleshy stem. High above them, as though becalmed in the air, and yet holding so fast to the earth it grew from, it might have claws instead of roots." Capable of always bearing fruit, this plant is set in juxtaposition with Linda's fear of the brutality of sex from her husband Stanley, whom she refers to as "my Newfoundland dog." She admires the aloe's inherent self- protection against violation - the 'long, sharp thorns' as she has none. Throughout "Prelude" are images of escape - the "corset laces hanging out"; a blind "pulled down, but not drawn close"; the "crack of the floor" - all suggesting an escape through a fictional and fantastical universe of the imagination running parallel to the real world.
