Let the problems commence! - Honda Prelude Forum

Just got my 1992 Honda Prelude Si on Friday, July 10th, and it has been working fine, even this morning when I drove it about 50-60 miles to get my a/c vaccumed and recharged. Well, I am leaving for a week to see family and I go to turn on my car to park it in the back. It starts to crank, but doesn't start. I parked it there around 10am and its 2pm now. My friend and I, last night, tried to find the 2 pin connector to run a code, but couldn't find it where it is supposed to be. Any help or thoughts? In about 2-3 hours, I will not have access to the car as I will be heading to the airport.

Push-start it.

Well I won't be driving it for a week. But I would like to figure this out.

The connector is behind the radio console area.

push start = pushing the car until the motor can turn on it's own and generate it's own power.

But you could always jump start it too.

There is plenty of battery life. I can turn on the car, just cannot start the engine.

ignitor? or ecm?

petern101 · 07-15-2009, 04:05 PM

yeah well then you have an ignition problem then. that narrows it down at least.

PGM FI relay under dash, tap on it when you turn the key to the on position. CEL will only illuminate if the ecm recorded a code

I have narrowed it down to my main relay, so I will get that checked out. Also seem to have a vacuum leak I gotta find somewhere.

Got the main relay repaired. Problem fixed! It seems like whenever I shift and let out the clutch, I sometimes hear a sound that sounds like air being let out of a tire for about 2 seconds. Also hear a scratching sound sometimes, most of the time when I shift fast.
