    The previous owner ran a long grounding wire from the alternator wires that are in a cluster to the cluster of wiring that sits at the back of the engine on the passenger side. I assumed the original wiring had a short somewhere hard to reach, so I left it alone until recently. I tried to splice...

    Yo fellow Lude Fans! I have squeezed in a reply or 2 in the past but this is my first full post with a problem, and solution. My Black 97 Prelude with 284K+ miles got battery & brake lights on the way home from work the other morning and a quick check with a meter once I got home confirmed what...

    Yesterday 6/31 left work and noticed my speedometer and odometer didnt work, i figured NBD, it must be the speed sensor, ill replace it when i get the chance. This morning 7/1 I get in my car, and to no surprise, no speedometer. BUT, i get about 10 miles down the road and my tachometer starts...

    My new alternator pulley is a 5 groove and if you all know a 3rd gen pulley is 4 groove. Well the pulley touches the power steering belt and I don’t really want to remove power steering but if I have to I have to. The pulley do not fit with each other. I post some pictures of what I’m taking...

    Hey ludests, I pretty stumped right now I am replacing my alternator and I’m almost done taking the old one out. The alternator through bolt is stuck and can’t get passed through the PS Pulley.

    So a few years ago I bought my 82 Prelude off a coworker, and I didn't use it much. Recently I've decided it is time to get her running again. I believe my issues are likely electrical in nature, as the the vehicle ate through three batteries in about a year. So, I've got a brand new battery...

    '89 2.0 Si engine load increases heavily with headlights or hazard lights on. Hi all, My 1989 Prelude Si B20A5 vibrates at idle. As in, the steering wheel visibly shakes, and the whole car vibrates as if it is under heavy load. But the RPMs do not fluctuate. I thought it might be a...

    So I've been doing some research, and before I pull the trigger on a rebuild kit, I wanted to get some other feedback. This is somewhat for performance, but primarily for my sound system. I'm not looking to have anything too crazy (at least not yet), but I'm a very nitpicky basshead and like to...

    Hello Lately, I've been having a lot of issues lately with my 97 H22A4 Honda Prelude. It all started about 3-4 weeks ago with the beeping. Most vehicles beep when you have your door open and with the key in the ignition. Well one day I get off work, open my door and the car is beeping WITHOUT...

    So where to start, I currently own a 91 SI 2.1 DOHC B21A1 lude. Got some body damaged, basically a black eye on the driver side, it no longer forms to the conventional look. I proly need to take it to a body shop to hammer out the frame so i can get the sleek "no lights" look one day :/ so...

    1988 Prelude 2.0Si 4WS. Stock everything besides radio (plug in type). Background: I got this car in September and have had some continuing electrical issues. Before the issue was the car was eating batteries and alternators but I haven't had any issues in that regard since I replaced the...

    Radio started turning off a few times randomly yesterday while driving. Today my car tried to start but couldn't quite manage. Battery is only a 1.5 yrs old. I tested the alternator at Autozone - it's good. While uninstalling the alternator, the wiring to the alternator was corroded to shit...

    does anyone the factory output specs on our alternators? I need to upgrade for my new stereo system but cannot afford an actual "car audio alt" there like $349.00.... was wondering if a shop could beef it up, and if so how high could it go.

    Hi Everyone - So for those that didn't follow my fiasco with my vtec solenoid, let me go ahead and warn that my knowledge of cars is somewhere in the range of "pitiful". That being said, I have learned a hell of a lot in the last month of working on my '97 - poor thing is finally starting to...
  20. 5th Gen
    Okay - I have another thread going a bit about my trials recently, but I figure this warrants its own thread. My alternator is shorting. It's killing the battery when it's not even on. Not good. So I have to pull it out. This is the one topic I have yet to find a DIY walkthrough on, so I...
