Bought my car the 12th of december, knew i was gonna have to work on it. Im bringing my car to the shop today, if any of these problems are a quick fix let me know so i can save some money:
1) Dont know where to put air sensor on aftermarket intake
2)VSS may be messed up, gauge cluster is out of whack
3) may have a power steering fluid leak
4)Running rich
5)have to give the car a lot of gas to get out of first
6)Over revving, may be IACV or vacuum hoses not set up right
7) shifter feels loose doesnt go back in the middle of neutral automatically
8)random ground wires in the bay
9)burning oil, i may have to deal with that
10) rattle in the rear axle when i drive
11) my friend said it wouldnt go into reverse but i doubt it

Thank you

there should just be 2 vac hoses going to the intake from the manifold, if they arent there then you might not have the right intake. my power steering leaked, it happens on older cars, i started using a fluid that has a additive to help and it helped me out but im not sure how bad yours is, might need all the seals replaced. the first gear thing could be a couple of diff things, maybe someone put too strong of a clutch in it or somethings wrong with the hydraulics. burning oil is common on older cars, youd have to get cylinder rings replaced, theyre most likely bad. rattle in the rear could either be all the rubber on the suspension pieces are worn out or a bad wheel bearing. reverse is a common gear to get grind down, its a straight cut gear with no synchronizer, inexperienced drivers tend to mess it up and the previous owner may have done it, you may have to replace it. not sure enough on some of the other questions cause i might not give a good answer so ill leave em for other members who may know. =p

try changing the transmission fluid first for the reverse grind - you just have to learn how to shift without it grinding.

for running rich - try changing the o2 sensor. i bought one off a sponsor of the site.

these cars just burn oil. switch to a thicker oil (depending on what you are using)

as much as people advise against it, running seafoam through the motor to clean out gunk may be the way to start. then after that do a basic tune up.

I didnt mean to sound like an ass about learning how to shift into reverse....but I had to learn how my car liked it. some cars you can just jam it in - the prelude is kinda iffy about how it likes to go into reverse

Sometimes I find it easier to shift into 4th and then into reverse. Just my .02
