....widemouthlude posting....

there were 3 major ones: the turn signals, the rattling intake and the head unit. Well I have comprised an html file that includes diagrams, comprehensive details and analysis so you can get a crystal clear picture of what I am asking about, as well as questions i would like to have answered. So far, some solutions have been presented. Such as using the amplifier's constant hot power wire from the battery to fuel the memory line, the rattle could be anything from the filter to any peice of the exhaust system, and the write up on how to do what i wanted to do with me turn signals has been presented to me. However, there are still questions left I need answers for. Like, how do i determine wether or not something else is rattling anf not the intake? And how do i know if i damaged the turn signal wiring setup? There are more asked in this page. If ANYONE thinks they can be of any help at all please read through this and give me some imput (sorry for the repost but its kinda necessary) Prelude Problems

Here's a stupid question, have you completely removed the intake and put your stock one on e and see if the rattling is still there?

just remove the intake completely and check if the rattle it still there. But dont drive long or on a dirt road.

didnt try putting stock back in....i do still have it. driving with intak off will not work.....tried starting it with no intake and it turned over....and then over again and then died with a not so pleasant noise. NOONE SHOULD EVER TRY THIS!

anybody??? desperate for answers over here

PreludeChick89 · 11-17-2002, 11:17 PM

i'll stand by my answer hun.. i am sure it's the exhaust......... we'll take a look if it's dry this weekend after the oil gets changed..... promise... and if it is.. just take it back to where it was done whenever you got it done and complain

my car starts and runs fine without an intake. my mom ran it like that for a couple hours without me knowing. everything turned out ok.

Have you checked the memory wire to make sure it's not broken internally? Those are thin wires and can break internally without breaking the insulation if you yank it hard enough. Also, I would suggest you check continuity through the radio/stock connectors to make sure power goes in the stock and out the radio connector.
