i have a 98 lude and i was wondering if any one knows where i can find the codes for checking the computer? i no to count the number of flashes in the display to get a number! but i need to know what each number means?
You would need to acquire the Prelude Helm's manual in order to find out what it means and the troubleshooting procedure.
Or, if you counted the flashes already and have a number, you can search the forum for what it means. Granted that not all codes can be found here, anyone with a Helm's manual would probably look it up for you if needed.

I do not need to explain anything to you.
My broken wings still strong enough to cross the ocean with.
My broken wings how far should I go drifting in the wind.
mmk ya thats a wikid idea. ill be taking it apart tomorrow so ya maybe if any one with a manual thats reading this, if you could let me no that would vbe killer. thnx
Why take it apart? Drive it to auto zone, get them to give you the code for free, drive back home, type the code into the search box at the top of the page, read results, find your answer... No answer after those steps? Come back to this thread and post specific question so someone can help
i took it to my auto shop at skool and hooked it up to the scanner and it said o2 snsr htr crd malf. along with some number...so i assume that means somthing to do with the heater cord int he oxygen sensor malfunctioning! but i just changed the rear oxygen sensor! any ideas any one?
The number the scan tool gave you will tell you if it's the primary or secondary O2 (before or after the cat) that is having trouble. It may be the primary that's the issue.
If you replaced the one it says is bad, you will have to troubleshoot the wiring and then the ECU.
ok, but during the replacemnt of the rear o2 sensor, i cut out the catalytic converter, and put a strait pipe through and drilled a hole for the o2 sensor. but the old one actaully threaded right into the catalytic convertor, so im wondering if i have to have the catalytic converter in it for it to function properly... any help is awsome thanks. oh i used the computer to shut off the check engine light twice. the first time it turned on within 30 seconds of driving. the second time it turned on agian after about 30 kilometers... Does this mean anything in particular??
so im wondering if i have to have the catalytic converter in it for it to function properly
LOL, yes you kind of need a cat in order for the emissions system not to freak out on you. If you remove the cat, you have to do the 2nd O2 workaround. Please search, it's written up here somewhere.

Yeah, I think the thread is "O2 bypass" and "Anti-fouler". It is from an s2ki user's thread.
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
