Honda Prelude technical problem

[csr ma71]

So sometimes on the 1990 Honda Prelude 2.0, I crank it and it starts, but the idle just goes from 2,000 to 1,500 to dead in about three seconds. Then I wait a while and it starts without it dying like that. What would I be looking at?

plugs or injectors, they warm up, ungunk themselves and work the second time around,
dunno, its a long shot im not sure but thats my guess.

well first leave the hood closed.... stand in front of the car... locate that small box on the hood...inside that box is the letter "H" ...there's your problem



but honestly..i'm not sure...is the AFM/MAP/Weedeater carb. in good shape?
what about the CSI or cold start system in general?

Your motor is probably turning over the wrong way.... :icon_bigg

I can't think of anything that would make it do that...... the 97 civic I had for... 3 weeks was junk... crappy performance and only marginal mpg..... Not worth it. Get 12 mpg in a Turbo Supra, it's worth it in the long run.

For your serious reply...

Sounds to me like a fuel issue as in you are running out of fuel.

Check the pump and fuel filter for flow.

no, lanky that was the worst answer you could have given him, it should have come out like this, go to the rear of the car and reliese what your looking at, then back to the front and go "ahhh", LOL

You don't see me smacking the CD player out of your hand and tell you to go get an Ipod.

Ok, MAP and fuel. Will check it out later.
