yeah, so I have had this probe sitting in my driveway for quite some time, a little over a year now, and it doesn't run. I was kinda wanting to fix it so I have a daily driver for the winter time, so I don't have to drive my prelude in the snow. anyway, I can't figure anything out, so I thought maybe the more knowledgeable people may be able to help.
First off, it's a 93 probe se, 4 cyl dohc. here is what happened when it broke: I was driving along, and it started acting like it was going to die at a stop light, then when I pressed the gas, it was like it had no power and didn't want to go so I thought it would be a good idea to bring it home...as soon as I pulled into the driveway, it died and would not restart. I reset the fuel pump, and it started right up, then less than 1/8 mile down the road, it died again, wouldn't start...resetting the fuel pump didn't work this time. So, i get it back home, replace the distributor cap and rotor button, spark plugs, wires, everything that i could think of ignition wise. no luck. So, after that, I checked the fuel line to make sure it was getting fuel and it was (i thought it may be the fuel pump gone bad.)
I was all out of answers, so I gave up and went out and bought the prelude so I didn't have to deal with it. Now I am thinkin I would like a daily driver for the winter time, and would like to get this fixed. maybe even sell it, i dont know. I am still all out of answers, which is why I am askin you domesic owners for help. any advice at all you could give me would be great. Thanks!! (sry for the long post btw)
