Re: Cant start this car
Yes it does, if you are getting an orange spark usually means a weak spark. Bright blue is a good healthy spark. If you are getting good spark I would look to see what the fuel looks like coming out of the injectors. A nice cone shape is good. If it dribbles or something usually would mean they have some gunk in them or they need rebuilt/replaced.
Also you may check the compression on the cylinders.

Re: Cant start this car
I dont believe your Prelude has a cam sensor. It should have a crankshaft sensor but I would think if they was bad the car would at least back fire or act like it wanted to start. Heck wouldnt hurt to maybe buy a different ecu and hook it up and see if it run. They run about 40 bucks used.
