it start couple days ago i was on the autobahn with criuse control on at 75mh then my check engine light flash and the car canceled the cruise control drove fine all the way back home

now today i was driving and the check engine light came on and the car died. i started it right back up but now the check engine light stays on and i do not have full power while in drive

the car 97 prelude auto tranny

any info will be helpfull i search and did not fine any thread that match my symptoms

 

Why don't you just check the CEL?

 

is it the same as the the 92 prelude found here? or is it different

may be it's the O2 sensor, just check ecu code it's code 1 i've the same

 

he's obd2 he needs a code reader to check for cels as he is 5th generation. This is your best starting point.

Oh yeah, an ur a lucky bastard, I miss driving in europe (portugal) where you can actually take your car as fast as it can go and likely there are still people passing you like your at a stand still. too much fun. My 85 year old grandpa (when he was 85 I should say) was driving us 180 kms an hour and that was pretty scary, considering he only has two fingers on one hand and is blind as a bat lol.

 

i guess i got to go find a dealer for the code reader huh
the autobahn is a blast everytime you get on it,and if you think your fast your not when your on the autobahn little *** cars leave you in the wind over here, i will be hitting up the nurbergring this spring/summer,my second tour here and havnt gone yet
thank for the help

 

where is the diagnostic plug for my car i look for by the driver and passenger foot rest area,didnt find took to the local shop and they say they couldnt find po had things added to car alarm, cd changer now wire are everywhere some show me a pic of this thing and are would be helpful

thanks

 

anyone

 

My O2 sensor went out about 3 weeks ago, and when they pulled the code, it was on the passengers side. Mine was Bank 1 Sensor 1, and I did not lose any power, the CEL just came on. I can't tell you exactly where they found it, but it was on the passengers side somewhere

*edit*

After doing a little research to try and help, I found this

"In order to get the code you'll need to find the service connector. On the 5th Gens it's on the right hand side of the centre console underneath a carpeted panel that just pops right out. The connector looks like a telephone connector and is plugged into a blue plastic piece that just serves as a holder. Unplug it and you'll see that it has two sockets in it that lead to two wires."

it is a 5th gen, well on mine is it on the passenger side, well usdm passenger side and it is if you are sitting in the seat on your left there is a little piece of carpet type thing on the side that you can take off and there is the plug

 

sorry hope that makes sense

 

you can kind of see the like gap area and that is a piece about 4-6 inches ong and same tall but it is weird shape and it just pops off

 

yeah i found it on the passenger side thanks, they scan it, and came up with P0700 and couple other tranny codes and couple other codes it have written down but cant remember them,and my alternator is going out running at 27%.still dont explain the check engine light
