Honda Prelude 1992-1996
I have had my 92 prelude for 2 weeks now and finding out what a beautiful car this is in and out. The engine is amazing and as 215,000 kms. It has a few issues.....but its worth the fix.
Here is a list of the problems.
-heat control is messed - wont switch to vent heat.
-few rattles
-leaky coolant line that runs to the water pump.
-worn front passenger lower ball joint
-worn drivers side CV AND AXLE.
-BROKEN LUG BOLT.
-SOME MINOR RUST- (I LIVE IN CANADA)
The engine is in amazing shape....I love this car. Does anyone else have anything to add?

Its everything you'd want in a car!! Stunning!!! Has everything.. respray the lot!!
First question..
Iv Got a vtec controller with my prelude, when i bought it, it wasnt connected but i was assured that this worked..
i got home, connected it to the ECU and it lit up.. I tried turning my car over i got nothing.. Was just turning over.. WOULD NOT start.. so iv had to unplug that from the ECU and drive without it.. argh! help!! i wana have fun!! do i need to set it up??
SECOND MOAN.. Car drives fine.. but it doesnt shift over 110mph.. it gets to there and thats it.. it feels like im taking my foot of the accelorator, im not.. its a [non-permissible content removed] import, could this have a limiter on it??
THIRD MOAN... When accelorating through my gears.. it gives a very slight shudder.. Dunno what this is.. could it do with transmission fluid needing a change??
Final Moan.. Sometimes i find it hard to engage reverse..sometimes it goes into reverse no problem.. other times its tight and u have to really force it out.. AND when doing 70+ and changing from 4th gear into fifth it grinds a little.. its fine if im doing 40 odd and change into fifth..
hope you guys can help..
does anyone have any ideas as what my problem could be
1) cruise control dead. no lights or indicators at all;
have changed out module and main switch;
all fuses good
2) manual 5 speed transmission jumps out of 5th gear while driving after warm up of ten minutes or so.
Good looks and a nice grown-up sound. (not a fart can)
Any one know a good source?
I've put on new distributor, changed fuel filter, new spark plugs, and all sorts of stuff... next thing is to install new dist cap/rotor button, check spark plugs & wires again..... Although it runs much, much better since I reconnected the plug wire that was disconnected from the distributor..... lol, sometimes things can be so simple they are overlooked!!
Good luck, let me know if you find the problem and what it was.....
BA4 = Prelude, 2.0/2.1L
BA8 = Prelude, 2.2L
BB1 = Prelude VTEC,2.2L
BB2 = Prelude, 2.3L
BB6 = Prelude2-door
At Honda they said that it is impossible that the hose brokes. But it brokes.

We have checked for exhaust leaks, changed the rotor, dist cap, and various other things. He is thinking it might be the MAP sensor. Since that is like a $250.00+ part I am reluctant to change it unless we are sure of what it is. Does anyone have any idea or dealt with this?
I hear it is very common on Honda's to have this issue.
Thanks!

While what fast, what goes up to 3700 to 4000, RPM I assume?
Good luck.
