hey whats up i have a 1995 honda prelude it has about 150 thousand miles and i went down to mayrland one night street racing it is about a 35 min drive well we got down there and went to a gas station where every body was hangin out then we left there i wasnt really pushin my car hard but then we left that gas station and went to a different spot and i thought we were going to stay so i turned my car off then we decided we r not so i started my car back up and i started to go and it made this noise like there was suming under the tire or the car a kinda loud noise sounded bad ne way i got out and there was nothing wrong so i got back in and started going eveything was fine then i got on the street and my vtec wouldnt pop it had stopped and the check engine light came on so we stopped and all my friends were looking at it n they didnt know what happen so i drove it back home vtec still not popping then next day i started it up looked at it it was kinda smokin black smoke well i checked the oil and it looks like there is metal shavings on the oil stick so its been parked for about 6 months and im bout to fix it but i dont know where to start im not how the metal shavings got there not sure if they r but im not sure where i need to start my cousin said i need get new valves cause they proably bent thats y the vtec is not pipping and the timeing belt skipped thats y it made that niose
let me know what u think it is

 

sounds like you spun a rod bearing, if the shavings are in copper like color. time for a rebuilt.

 

drop your pan and look at the bearings

 

you prolly spun a rod or a main bearing, that would explain the metal shavings. it vtec not "popping" has nothing to do with bent valves, vtec runs off of oil pressure, and the ecu. start w pulling you codes, then start tearing things apart. also check you vtec selonoid gasket screen, its prolly plugged w shavings. good luck

 

yea vtec runs off the oil pressure, which you won't really have with spun bearings. I would start with pulling the motor and going from there,

 

do u guys think it would be cheaper to just get a new motor for 1200 and use my tranny and ecu

 

where can i find the ecu codes for my car 1994 prelude

i couldnt find them and my dad said that its not a rod or main bearing cause the motor would of locked up and it still runs so what else could it b my brother said it might b the oil pump blew up

that is not necessarily true, a spun bearing will still spin but it will make a nasty noise

 

the motor is not makin ne noise it sounds like it should run fine but it dosnt

 

im just going to change the motor and use my tranny motor for 1600 jdm
