Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 2008electrical problem
My friend just gave me his 89 honda prelude and every once in a while i will lose all my volts,and my engine starts to backfire and i have no throttle response.I checked the alternator and it checked out good.I replaced the battery, still had no luck.But as soon as i put jumper cables to it it runs fine. If you have any ideas that would be great .Thank you Justin > My friend just gave me his 89 honda prelude and every once in a while > i will lose all my volts,and my engine starts to backfire and i have > no throttle response.

Of course, at that point the car is not in motion. Does the problem seem heat-related? Vibration-related? Does it fail while turning? While accellerating? What indication do you see on the dashboard when the failure occurs? Does the Check Engine light come on? How long does the condition persist? What brings the voltage back? What works fine when you have the engine problem? Radio? Headlights? Horn?
