look here in nc these fracks around here are tryin to weiner me over on the price just to check the codes.... on the walls of all their damn shops it says 35 or 45 but when i start talking to them they try and bump the price up to around 120.... i dont feel like doing all that.... if someone can just tell me what it might be then damn that would be alot better then just saying check the codes.... what i have read in other forums is that it might be the intake manifold," vtec solonoid if there is one", the number 12 fuse which i havent found crap about either.... and for the speedometer problem they say it can be the speed sensor which im about to go buy now im hoping when i do the install for that the crap works..... just if someone has an idea or has had this happen to them hit me up on here or email me at kilik79@yahoo.com

Of course we could tell you what it *might* be, but if we're wrong you're still stuck at the beginning. Without knowing what is wrong, can't really point you in a direction. If a 92 Prelude is still ODB1 you can check the code yourself. Also, drop the attitude if you want help around here.

I am giving you help. Pull the code and fix the problem. What is so difficult about that? I CANNOT point you in a direction, WITHOUT knowing what is wrong. If the people at ClubRSX are throwing out random potentials, you could spend hundreds of dollars before actually fixing your problem. If that's what you want, then stay there and get the f*ck out of here.

At least pull the code, so you know what you're dealing with. If it's a cheap fix then you'll know what needs to be done.

well about two days ago i pulled the codes it was just the speed sensor... so now hopefully when i install it the problem will go away... but the ppl at this shop called jdm automotive said that on preludes and accords when the speed sensor goes out it the vtec wont engage anymore

Yea, until it's replaced with a functioning unit.
