Re: failed smog please helpppp

Go for it, they cost a dollar or two and take maybe 30 seconds to replace. No tools required.

However if you do want to check it, while the engine is running, pinch the pcv hose, then let go. If...

Re: spongy brakes, no pressure..

The parking brakes ARE only applied to the rear brakes. However, when you brake when driving you DO use the rear brakes. And yes the distribution of hydraulic force is more in the front than in the...

Re: spongy brakes, no pressure..

There is an order lol, it just has to do with how efficient the bleed is and how effectively you get the air out. You're also supposed to use an electronic hand tool to cycle the solonoids in the ABS...

Re: spongy brakes, no pressure..

I think that was sarcastic. At least I hope so. For a prelude the proper order is Left front, right rear, right front, left rear. Also if you let the fluid level in the resevoir get too low then you...

Re: General Questions prior to engine swap

Yea I'm pretty sure that is what my friend has, and it's still more powerful than the one I got. He recently swapped his leaking H22a4 with a blacktop H22a, and he's really happy with it, so that's...

Re: failed smog please helpppp

How old is the car and has the cat ever been replaced? If you got 200k miles on the car and the cats never been replaced that may be an issue.

Re: General Questions prior to engine swap

Well unfortunatly money IS a rather large concern. I got about $2,000 to work with here, so the engine won't even be new. Plus I have yet to buy a new radius rod to get my alignment back into spec,...

Re: Help! Question about fuel for my 5th Gen 'lude

It's best to run 91 in it, as per mfg spec., but i'm sure one tank of 87 isn't going to hurt it at all. If you're worried, don't beat the hell out of it until you put 91 in it. No biggie.

Re: answer my question, get five bucks. tax and shipping applies.
