93 Prelude Wont Start!!!! Please Help!!!

Hello and thanks for checking this out.

heres the 411:

2 days ago I drove my car to the gym 3am got home 6am
later on, about 2PM i get in my car and try to start and it wouldn't start.

every now and then it'll kick over and act like its starting but it wont. i tried push starting it by popping the clutch but i got no luck.

I just replaced the intake manifold gasket, Throttle Position Sensor,
im not sure if its the fuel pump or some kind of sensor or relay.

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP......

O by the way if this is helpful to know, this car was born in Florida and it recently this year came to the cold ass ****ty Chicago Weather.

jdm h22a motor > getting ready to turbo charge it AS SOON AS i get it started AND FIX EVERYTHING WRONG WITH IT!


THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!

when I had that problem it was my main relay.

fairly cheap part, easy to install yourself. 82 bucks or so at a honda dealer, cheaper online.


i'm almost positive thats ur problem based on your description of ur problem

when you turn your key to ON (II), do you hear a "click" sound coming from where the steering wheel is?

LOL good job man.

Usually when it's really hot out and the car won't start, it's a sign of the main relay. You don't even have to spend money to get it fixed. Just resolder the points.

yeah i had the relay problem, started only when it felt like it, i did get the oil in the plugs deal, but it didnt get bad, seems like both are common.
