92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
??? ok i just bought this 92 prelude si... and the car runs and idles but when i rev it up it breaks down real bad like theres something wrong with the fire.. ive replaced the module, coil, main relay, plugs, wires, rotor.. i took the module back and got a new distiburtor from a junkyard.. and sometimes the car doesnt start and when i check the fire there isnt any.. then all of a sudden it will fire. its got a mind of its own..!!! pissin me off.. someone please help? think maybe the dist.. from the junkyard is bad? or maybe the ecu? i really wanna drive this car and i got a hell of a deal on it!! my last prelude got totalled and ive been drivin a jetta!! i need my prelude fix :) .. thanks for the help.

Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
Well if the firing problem started after the new dizzy from the junkyard theres one of your problems, also sounds like it could be ecu related, If its an h23 I guess the ecu will be cheap but if its an h22 just get a p06 and run a uber map for a stock h22.

Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
the guy i got the car from changed the clutch and after that this problem started... so i changed the dizzy to see if it would help and no go.. so i put the old one back on.. also tried the coil , plugs, and main relay... :4

Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
the accords/preludes do have quite a few grounds on the tranny that could be it, electical problems suck one time my main fuse kept blowing becasue my head light relay was bad that was a fun one to find. Just curious does your speedo work?
|
Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
dont know if the speedo works the car wont run long enough.. but the tac jumps all over the place when its idle.. and the speedo was jumpin around also. and when i rev it the check engine light comes on only while its breakin down..
|
Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
what'd u mean the tach jumps at idle??? like, it has an erratic idle, or the neeldle is just jumping around like a mofo
|
Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
check the code
|
Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
theres no check engine light on.. only time it comes on is when i rev it up.. and no the engine doesnt idle all fucked up.. when its idle the tach just jumps up and down sometimes.. like when you have a bad alternator.. but ive checked that also... ill go home today and check the grounds make sure the dipshit that put the clutch in hooked it all back up.. sometimes it wont even fire ill throw a spark tester on it and nothing then all of a sudden it sparks.. its the same at the coil pack... i put the old dizzy back on and it does the same exact thing.. i know the dizzy go bad alot but for 2 of them to be doin the same exact thing is doubtfull..

Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
does your lude have the center console in the back seat? if so wanna trade for a 93 no console back seat? good luck with it
|
Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!

Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
also my interior is blue leather.. and where are you located?
|
Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
id checkthe dizzy. is the shaft the rotor rides on have alot of play? that usually wears out the contact point with the ignitor

Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
you know what else it could be, ive had this problem on a few boats. if the guy forgot to unhook somthing before he droped the tranny he might have partialy pulled a wire out of the pin, or you may have a wire thats crimped somewhere on your harness. and that is going to be a bitch to check for continuity on every wire in your harness.

Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
im in ct and im not 100% sure but i think its the blue cloth but it could have been black but faded but i thnki its blue whats the email ill send you some pics when i get home at 5

Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
well i put a ecu in it.. and does the same ------ thing!!! its pissin me off.. i checked the grounds they look good but im gonna run bigger grounds and go over the underside i still havent jacked it up.. dont know what else it could be.. maybe the igition switch?? help.. i wanna driver her.. :)
|
Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
Maybe this is the reason you got a good deal on the car double check the ground on the thermostat and if that dont work check the cams if you wanna buy another ecu i got one for a manual and one for an auto

Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
i have a 92 lude. and i had a very very siilar problem... does it seem to not wanna start when its hot outside? i gaurentee you it is the main relay... it is a common problem with honda's. if u go to the dealer, ask for the PGM-FI Relay. its located under the dash on the driver side its kinda hard to see and get at but it is possible... let me know how it goes
|
Re: 92 prelude si help!?!?!?!
Well.. thank everyone for the help.. i got it fixed finially after replacing everything electrical. turned out out to be the ground under the coil that goes to the harness.. so it runs great now!!! not bad for a $400 car.. all it needs is some new leather on the front seats.. and a sunroof gasket! http://myspace-082.vo.llnwd.net/0032...29333082_l.jpg
