Alright my DD mrs. 245K on the odometer needs help. last week it died while warming up to chauffer me to work. I started it again noticed that it was at its halfway mark on the temp let out on the clutch and psst she just died. I parked it and drove my civic to work. I worked on it this weekend cleaned the egr, cleaned the nasty gummy throttle body (which I thought either one could of been it)after driving it and noticed if I pressed in the clutch the rpms drop absurdly fast and doesn't even attempt to idle. If I start it up after dieing it will idle and occassionally die. It finally kicked a code after letting it idle numerous times after restarting. I believe I am using the right port as you may have guessed I am a novice to Preludes and Accords I am extremely handy with civics, integras, and the like though. The port I found was in the center under the radio same 2-pin used in the civics that makes the abs light go off and blinks the cel. It kicked code 4 it is obd1 and I found that to be the crank angle sensor. Does this sound like the likely culprit?

 

i would test/replace the sensor, reset the ecu, and then see where that leaves u...

 

I am under the impression that it is located in the distributor.........

 

bump

 

really? simple crank angle sensor is in the dizzy so it is kinda expensive. if you really looked it is in 2 forums since the prelude forums is slow and nobody ever responds.

 

Moderator moved one of them then because I put one in the civic forums and one in the prelude forums. Wow I bet you feel so much better calling me out, go run to the bathroom and polish your tool.

 

how about you go and kick tires in the BS thread somewhere I am just looking for help
