Need Help On 93 Prelude Si! - HondaClub.com

prelude_girl21 · 08-23-2007, 02:42 PM

Okay, so--it's DEAD. out of no where, it's DEAD. i haven't driven it for 6 days. my rotors are starting to rust sadly, but that's beside the point. the car won't start. here's the thing:
-i replaced the battery a couple months ago.
-i put in new spark plugs in today.
-i did an h22a swap on the prelude about a year back, no problems til now.
-i went on a trip for 3 days, came back-prelude's not working.
-it's been raining and foggy the past week.
and the PROBLEM:
the engine sounds like it's trying to turn over but there is no spark.
SOMEONE HELP!

its probably in the distributer there is an ingnition module in there that can go bad thats the first place i would look

A quick way to test that is to pull a spark plug, make sure its dark outside, lay it on top of your head, then have someone turn over the engine. If your ignition control module is working, the plug will fire.

delsol is probably right. When I first bought my civic, I replaced distributor cap, rotor, wires and plugs and it ruined my ignition coil. Now would be a great time to go to an external coil setup. The whole setup was about 20 dollars more than the stock ignitor. I used MSD

they are probably all right

go ahead and check the cables first if theres any rip or something like that
