Low end miss? - Honda Prelude Forum

blueludeWV · 10-22-2002, 09:49 PM

I have a low end(speed) miss while under normal acceleration. It happens through all gears. I did a complete tune-up and that didn't help. Anyone else here have a similar prob? I have a 94 Si.

sounds like the dreaded prelude hesitation.

explain which rpms it happens at

yeah my car does that when its warm outside...but not when its cold. like if i shift to second soon and am at about 2krpm and then accelerate, it will just miss and then be fine. i thought i just needed to change my spark plugs and basically just do a tune-up. is there something else i should know? ive got a 93 si.

The RPM range is probably between 1500-3500. It does it when its hot or cold outside.

How many miles, and did you replace the rotor cap and button when you did the tune up?

Check all vacuum hoses as well.

Turn off the A/C and your audio system. Then you will get back the power.

Ya, I replaced everything. Cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter, and pcv. I'll check the vacuum hoses as well, thanks.
