More info plz. What year prelude u have? Obd2 or obd1? If it's obd1 it's inside the dizzy, and I don't think u can replace it without getting a whole new dizzy. What symptoms and problems are u having besides the cel?

I might be wrong but I think with obd2 ur TDC sensor should be in the engine, try searching for TDC in archived info, yeah with that cel ur car won't run very well at all until it's fixed. Bump.

make sure the shop that did the work did the wiring correctly, that sensor does not really go bad, its a very simple sensor, just a magnetic pickup that reads off the distributor shaft....

check the wiring from end to end....
