    Help, I recently bought a 1985 Honda prelude from an auction knowing that it had a crank no start issue. I replaced the battery, spark plugs, spark plug wires and connected them in the right firing order, and replaced the battery terminals (negative and positive). The car is old and has corroded...

    I've recently picked up a 5th gen Prelude (base, manual) with a H22A4 Engine. I'm just going to make this as straight forward as possible. The car runs completely normal when cold or on initial start up. After warming up to normal operational temperature I get swamped with a bunch of issues...

    Hey there, I’m very new to working on suspension but I’m looking to replace my 5th gen SH front suspension and for the life of me cannot find any shocks for an SH model. Help in finding some would be much appreciated. I’m also based in BC for context. If there is anything I should keep in mind...

    Ok so I have a 2001 Honda Prelude and I love this car but one thing I hate the most is the design of these damn door handles. I thought to myself when both of my exterior door handles snapped off it was due to my neglagence of being able to take care of a 22 year old car but it seems like it...

    Hello, I am having some trouble getting my engine to start. It cranks but just won't run on its own. I tried removing the spark plugs one by one to check for spark, when I had either 1 or 2 (can't remember) of the spark plugs removers the engine ran by itself on 2 or 3 of the cylinders. When I...

    The button for the caution lights is pressed down so the lights are constantly going. No matter what I do I can't get it to stop. Pressing the button does not do anything and I can't seem to figure out how to pull the dash to stop it from that side. The only thing I can do is pull the fuse but...

    Hey, my heat hose exploded while driving on the highway in my '99. I pulled over after 2 minutes of driving it down the road to park it. There was coolant everywhere, and as I was driving steam/smoke? from the engine was coming out. I replaced the Heater hose myself. The next day the lude drove...

    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...

    Hey, I'm looking to buy my first car and I'm interested in getting a 5th gen honda prelude VTI-R, I have found one in my area that appears well looked after and claims it has a very healthy engine. The only thing that bugs me is that it has 310,000kms on it. That's a lot of Ks done but is it too...

    so i’m replacing all my calipers, rotors and hoses, after doing the rear, the ebrake is not working, i pull the ebrake and i can see the cord moving, but the wheels still spin freely (there is no brake fluid in the car right now so that may be the issue) but now i’ve made it to the front, and...

    So i took my old slave cylinder off. That was a struggle in itself, but now I ran into a new problem. I can’t figure out how to get the slave cylinder into place. I can’t figure out how to compress the rod enough against the clutch fork to screw it back into the bottom two holes. Is there a...

    I’m trying to rebuild my power steering pump off my 5th gen but the shaft and bearing won’t come out of the housing. I looked at the manual and it says to just tap it out with a plastic hammer so I got one and it just won’t tap out. I’ve watched vids on YouTube of others doing it on other Honda...

    A few months back I had issues with my transmission where it wouldn't go into first unless I was rolling a bit and overall had a hard time shifting into gears unless I pumped the clutch. Nothing unusual and ended up replacing the clutch which solved most of those issues. However, Ive noticed...

    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...
