Must of you know or seen that i got more problems with preludes than i can imagine. Well first of all my wifes prelude, she was driving down 295 in NJ back from school and hydro planed doing 60 when it was raining for liek 10 days.....idiot. but anywho now her clutch has to be pushed all the way to the floor to engage and its having probelsm engaging what do i do?

Secondly my prelude has motor problems, today i decided to change my fuel filter and along with that i installed a AEM rail & reg, and adjusted to 45psi liek it says. my neighbor who i just met today said he was awesome mechanic, i told him my problems, i said how i replaced the internal coil with an external, so we checked the timing it was way off...you know how the white line is supposed to match the lil > timing mark, it was higher than that, so i lined up the white line inside the > mark perfectly it idle fine and everythign i took it out for a test drive and bogged and hesitated like a mofu. It died in middle of road, so i pushed it out of the road, played with the timing is was off again, i musta bumped it when trying to tighten the 3 screws down, so i got it dead center again. Drove it back home and now it will only REV to 4k RPM....Driving home i realized i never jumped the ECU pin for CEL's. So if anyone could did i time it right or no? oh yeah its a 92 si--->JDM H22. any input is much appreciated. thanks.

jon... first of all the clutch... did u check ur clutch fluid? remember when mine did that when i first got it on the way home from JCC, and it was cuz i had no clutch fluid? fill it, and pump the clutch...

and second of all, i'm not trying to sound like a dick, but why are you installing a whole crap load of aftermarket parts if you haven't even been able to engage vtec yet?? one problem at a time homie.

If ur serious about the bulldozer i got a backhoe and a Bobcat in my backyard i use for my business.I am located in Jersey to. lol...

The thing with the clutch could be fluid,it could have been a coincidence that it happend when she hydroplaned,or when she hyrdoplaned it reved the hell out of it and she pressed the clutch and put a serious glaze on it cause it to act funny.Also the little black thing that covers where the flywheel is,hopefully urs is on there and that water didnt get in there..

With ur car.I am not to good with the changing certain things to make a JDm motor work in a USDM car but to me it sounds like a wireing problem(or electrical in general) or a possible bad ECU.But that is just a hunch.I am not to positive but that's where i'd start.

oh yeah i added fluid this morning for the wifes cluth it was a lil low, but still needs to be pushed down all the way to be engaged.
my car i added the aftermarket parts cuz the code is a 43 which is fuel system/o2 sensor.. ive read where changing these parts helped some ppl. so why not try my luck. idk im not abotu to give up but we'll see, i think ill give autozne there crappy o2 sensor back and get a wideband.

As for your wifes car, you may need a new Master or Slave cyclinder. Either way, you should change both out.
