Hi guys, i am a new member to the site, i bought a 1992 prelude last week tuesday. I am havin a few problems with it and i hope u guys can help me out.

1. The guy i bought it from says the engine in it now is a 1997 h22 Types S, is there anyway i can look on the engine and confim this.

2. I went to dyno it yesterday but the it was unsuccesful because the car has TCs (traction control system) so when its on the rollers the tcs retards the engine thinkin the cAR is loosin traction, when i start the car the no lights come on but as soon as i start drivin it the tcs and abs lights come on, how cAN i manually disconnect the tcs.

3. My sunroof is stickin, whats the common cuz for this.

My brakes dont feel as sharp as they should, how will i know its the pads or its just want to be bled.

Thanks for the help guys i really appreaciate it.

red top, i forgot the engine code but look at the stamp on the transmission

if you are in the US, no prelude ever came with TCS. so i dunno how to answer this

3. My sunroof is stickin, whats the common cuz for this.

if they didn't properly take care of it before, i.e lube it regularly

4. My brakes dont feel as sharp as they should, how will i know its the pads or its just want to be bled.

probably both

Thanks Petern, so u think it i start lubin it now it will slowly start to work.

Well i am in jamaica, i thought the car came with the tcs.

I posted some pics in the picture thread, can u look on the engine and tell me if its a type s, thanks a lot.

The TCS you are speeking of could it be the ATTS system? Just a thought!

And the type S should be an H22a4.

soundbomber

h22a4 is us only.

in fact, any motor with a number after h22a is not japanese

InvaderTrax

The H22 Type S is still labeled H22A without a number. Red top. ATTS transmission

I stand corrected, but would the head still be labeled P13 or would it be p5m or what? I know there are a few marks to check, block, head, and tranny I just am unsure of what they should read.
