    Hello, i have a really frustrating problem with brakes. The car had an alingment and the brakes were tested on a stand. The results showed that the front brakes are really good, but the rear brakes are very weak. I have been bleeding them a lot since then and the problem persists- front wheels...

    I just bought an 01 prelude which i intend to manual swap when i have the money and time. On the way back home while accelerating the transmission seemed to "slip" / refused to go above 1st gear. The engine light came on as well as the D4 light began flashing, i managed to get it home in 1st...

    Hi guys! It's been a while and I've managed to get the engine rebuilt for my 3rd gen prelude (engine b20a9). However, even with all the internals of the engine replaced, it still seems to have difficulties starting the first time of the day. After trying 5-10 times, it starts. Also, when warm...

    Hello, So the other day I got in my lude after driving to school, put my key in and the lights came on, but as soon as I turned the key past the accessory mode and into starting positions ALL the power died, no dash lights, nothing. After which when pulling key out and trying again, all...

    Hey guys, yet another Honda virgin weaseling himself onto the site, however; I don't have basic ass questions to ask so please don't crucify me <3. Also, I have tried doing some research on these issues, but couldn't find a quite matching set of issues to go off of, so I figured why not get some...

    Help! Power band drops at 4500 rpm (VETC engage point) When my car hits 4500 RPM (When VTEC is supposed to kick in) the power band completely dies like there's a rev limiter. And this happens only when there's some kind of load on the engine, any other time, it's fine. Can someone tell me...

    Hey guys, so another car won't start thread. Frustrating how almost none of the ones having a similar issue to mine are conclusive, so I'll try to remedy that. I've got a 1990 SR with a B20a5 block/head B21a1 everything else. Before winter it was running fine, had a minor starting issue which...

    Hey! I have a problem with my lude -92 2.3l It starts and runs perfectly while cold. But once it gets up in temp (see this picture) it wont start IF i turn it off. I have removed and checked the main relay and it looked fine. After runnings some tests with a multimeter it turns out to be...

    Hi, A few weeks ago i bought a prelude as my first car. Ive always been a fan of preludes, integras and things alike. I do not know too much about cars but have some knowledge.... So the problem is at random times the temperature gauge in minutes goes from half to boiling... At first not...

    So I'm very close to breaking in my engine, but I'm stuck because I can't get to 15 BTDC on the flywheel. I can just get past the white TDC mark, maybe plus 5? I'm using a B18A1 intake camshaft, would this have anything to do with it? I'm also using a Acura Vigor TB (which isn't actually...

    Can't find anything on my exact problem so here goes. My AC has not worked since I got the car. We have been to a few mechanics and no one has been able to fix it. When I push the AC button the green light comes on and about 3 seconds later a little red light comes on next to the letters AC...

    So we recently had our motor replaced as the timing belt went on the old motor. Parked it for winter, bought a new house and had to move it. When trying to start it, it would crank but took a couple extra seconds to fire up. Warmed it up, proceded to drive it and there was a horrible hesitation...

    So I have a 1988 Prelude, 5 spd. For some reason, it likes to idle real low, but I don't have an IACV or a MAF sensor, for I have a throttle body (carburetor). It occasionally, gradually picks up back to about 1400 rpm, but most of the time idles at about 100-150, maybe 200 rpm. I don't see any...

    Hello everyone, I've got an 87 Si nearing on 400K. I drive her 100 mi/ day to and from work. Every once in a blue moon the car wont start (no dash lights, no crank, nothing) I would just cycle the key a few times and she'd go. I was planning on replacing the ignition switch to fix the problem...
