im locked out of my car with the engine running. how do i turn the engine off from outside the car, the hood is up. can i just pull the cap wire?

 

yes, you can just dont get shocked

 

battery, neg side. I don't see how that could hurt.

 

Pull the battery cable... Or pull the cable from the coil to the distributor.

 

loosen your throttle cable bracket so the plate in the throttle body closes. Don't pull of any plug wires, or you'll probably shock the **** out of yourself.

Only might need code for radio...

 

ok done. i tried the whole coat hanger trick, had good position but the wire kept slippin off the power lock switch. i had it on the door handle but it wouldnt unlock when i pulled it. tried getin in the lock thing but that wasnt happening. I even tried hitting the sunroof button so i could climb in. Grrrr.

 

oh btw, i pulled the cap cable, no shocks.

 

Thanks guys. now i gotta wait for da locksmith

 

AAA... or a garage will be cheaper.

 

too late hes on his way. oh well

 

You need a big baseball bat for those times when you lock your keys in your car.

 

No! your accesory power is still on so you just use the coathanger etc. to push the window switch down and your in! dont scratch your paint away.

 

Oh, btw. Honda designed it so it was hard to get any type of 'sliping' device down the door frame easily and the edge of the power lock Switch is curved so you cant grip it with a hanger!

I did the same and it wouldnt let me unlock with the alarm b-cos of key immob and engine running! its a pain

 

If you pour water in your gas tank the car will shut off due to a lack of octane in the enigne

 

don't you have cops in nj with slim-jims
could have saved yourself some money

there are many other ways tou can do it with the hood up.

 

You need to get a really stiff piece of Straight wire (with a little "L" at the end).
Then you get a Wedge of wood.
you work the wedge up and in, and then pry the window glass outwards to slip the wire down the crack into the car. Then pull up on the door lock switch.
I can't believe I once paid a guy 30$ to do that. Granted he did in 5 minutes what it takes me 10 to do.

Other things I've used: vines instead of wire (when you're in the woods you know), and plastic spatulas instead of the wood. Works great!

 

How could you pry a Prelude window open?

Its go a guide rail on the left and sits IN the frame! you have to pull the top of the door away as far as possible; pull the windows and youll smash it!

No. It won't break if you are careful. That guide rail doesn't hold the window in
tight. Force the wedge between it and the guide, then force the wedge up into the guide, then over the top of the window, and then you can pry the window out. A locksmith WILL do exactly this.

Should I draw some pictures of it?

 

When mine was locked out at the garage that sprayed it they have their own locksmith cross mechanic. He said that but just couldnt do it, said it was tighter than hes ever seen an he ended up puling the top of the door away from the frame as much as possible (like jsut enough to get the breaking wire down the frame)

 

your car must be a virgin

 

you know there is an easier way to unlock it from the outside,
get a wood chip or something and stick it in your belt molding
this will give you room to take a coat hanger and stick it in
near the lock cylinder. a little jolt on the link will cause it to unlock
