I am looking for help diagnosing an issue with my 1988 Prelude 2.0S. I purchased the car used and everything seemed fine for about a half a tank of gas and then the car started stalling at low RPMs. The car will not idle but when I get the RPMs over 2K it seems to run fine. When I initially hit the accelerator (at low RPMs) the car looses power and sounds like a choke opened up. At that point I have to pump the gas to get it to stay running. Also, the car is very hard to start cold. I generally have to spray some starter fluid into carburetor to get it to fire up. I have replaced spark plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor, and both the primary and secondary fuel filters. Any real help would be greatly appreciated.

You are going to want to go to http://www.preludepower.com for any answers regarding your lude, the 88-91 preludes are not know too much on this site.

And take a look in the FAQ's for a link to the online manual to your specific model.

If you can't find the manual there, then you can go to my website and download the manual from my homepage at the bottom.
