i have a 92 prelude with an h22 swap. It just started becoming slow to start but has always started. sometimes its slow to start on the first crank but will immediately start on the 2nd. it also feels sluggish, like its lost some power. please help!

 

Battery is dying? Corrosion on the terminals? Possibly a weak alternator? Have your local parts store check your charging system.

 

charging system good..it died on me the other day when i was troubleshooting it and now it wont start at all. im not getting spark but ive replaced spark plugs, ignition control module and ignition coil...

 

Slow to crank is almost always a battery, if it were any of the things that you bought and probably wasted money on it would run bad all the time. Get a helms manual and properly diag it rather than just replacing a bunch of parts that aren't the problem.

 

replaced the distributor and its starting ok now but still running sluggish

 

is it turning slow? or is it turning normal speen but not firing? if its just not firing up right away that means your fuel lines are not keeping pressure so there is most likely a vacuum leak in the gas tank. you should hear the vacuum suck in air when you open the gas cap.

 

yea its turning normal speed but not firing right away. it almost always fires right up on the 2nd crank though. and when i go to start it in the mornings its worse

 

i second that...fuel pressure. fuel filter conditon?

 

do you think it would more likely be the fuel filter or fuel pressure regulator? possibly fuel pump? when i turn the ignition on i hear the fuel pump kick on so i wasnt thinking that was the problem..
