Also sounds flipping awesome

Sorry to hear that. I'm glad you at least are getting closer to solving the problem and getting back to driving your car. It's very frustrating but I also learned more about the car so I can diagnose and fix better. Thank God. H22's are very sensitive when it comes to air leaks.

Not sure it depends on the car and what the actual problem is. I also don't have any experience with the 1991 honda prelude.

Maybe. It is close to the IACV so I guess that's why the symptoms were similar to a faulty IACV.

The directions just said to bolt up the seat belt release on the side of the seat mount with the hardware they provided. The seat belt is still in it's original location.

@@automotiveobsession7265 I did remove the seat belt cable and plugged in to the Recaro seat, but the airbag light still on even I took out all the cable from the old seat and connect to the new seat

I just can't do the airbags light 🤣 do you know how to do it? I searched people said use the resistor, but I don't know which one will fit my accord

Thanks. I didn't have the chance to weigh the each hood but Iv'e read that its around 30 pounds give or take a few pounds. I can tell you from my personal experience that when I go to open the hood now it's a lot easier than before because of the weight difference. Stay tuned for more videos.

You’re right I missed it. I used an OEM one from a used car.

Thanks. It means a lot after putting in all the work.

I agree

No. The reason why it fits civics is because the engine is tilted forward allowing space for the intake manifold to fit. If you tilt the engine forward in the prelude then I Belice it will work since it’s a clearance issue.

I thank God my car only has surface rust in some areas and with some sand paper and a wire brush I was able to take it off. I also did more work to prevent more rust from coming back. Wait until you see the next episode and see what else I did to the car.

@@automotiveobsession7265 Happy days. It's always great to watch some 5th gen content on YT.

@@muttonhead7739 thanks

From my experience and research this is everything you need.

@@automotiveobsession7265 thank you appreciate it what websites are reliable to purchase oem parts for my prelude

Mobil 1 synthetic 5W30

When you switch it does matter but if you don’t then you don’t have to worry about it.

No

I usually bleed the entire system. From what I remember the manual says to bleed the system until you see and hear the radiator fans come on. This should take about 15 minutes. If you have a radiator funnel kit it should help with bleeding in general and you can the bubbles more clearly. This is what I do when I bleed the system for any reason.

@@automotiveobsession7265 thanks bro I really appreciate it!

They don't make replacement IACV for the 97,98,99,2000,2001 prelude's anymore. I got lucky I made this video when they were still available because I had another issue with the car and it's idle and I believed it was IACV and had to buy used one's because there were no new replacements. Later I found out it was not the IACV but even used they are getting very expensive. I wish you luck trying to fix the IACV for your car so you can enjoy your new engine build. If I can find anything that can help I'll comment it here.

Thanks. Glad it helped. Also glad you didn't junk your engine.

It was tough but you can remove it with a flat head screwdriver. You have to find where the ends connect to each other like on a jewelry chain. The new filter should bring a new spring clamp. To connect it you should just wrap it around the intake hose and connect both ends and make sure it's in the correct position on the intake hose.

At the most it should be 16 psi. I think high pressure is when it exceeds 20 PSI. So no I'm pretty sure it's not a high pressure cap.

Its on the left side of the car under the intake. It's literally tucked right below the intake just try to pause the video where the photo is and see if you locate from there. I'll make a youtube short if you still need help. You have to look at it from an angle on the left side of the car and use a flashlight.

It's not a dumb question. It should be that there is a leak somewhere in that area. Check the hose for cracks or holes and also check the fittings if they are old and losing strength. Just replace the hose and the fitting.

Anytime. Glad it helped. The low idle also causes that.

Yes it’s annoying 😂

Anytime. Glad it helped.

I don’t have experience bleeding the clutch but since you said you used one from the donor car then I would try to get a new one if possible. Maybe that old one is messed up.

Thanks for the information👍 but I didn't call it a philips head screw I just said you can use a flat head screw driver to help loosen it carefully without scratching the outside metal part of the valve and also not damaging the plastic slot in the "JIS screw".

@@automotiveobsession7265 It's at 1:36 when you say "Philips" - my bad. *Those* two holding the end cover of FITV are the JIS screws. If you pause at 1:37 you can see the little dot on the top surface of the screw that's still in place.

@@markpeam8549 Thanks for letting me know.

If it's Japanese you can bet it's a JIS. Vessel brand impact screwdriver is a lifesaver.

According to Skunk2 it does fit the K20z1.

Anytime. Glad it helped. That’s how it starts by leaking out a little bit of coolant and then if not fixed it will leak all of it out at any given moment.

! know its a mistake I can't fix. It's meant to say cat back.

Yes. How much depends on how much time after turning off the car you decide to clean your IACV.

I had a vacuum issue because the throttle body was leaking air past the throttle plate. There were no ECU issues and I did not have the chance to fit the stock intake before I had to re install the stock throttle body.

Nothing else had to be done.

If your speedometer is giving you problems and the D4 light is flashing the most likely cause is a faulty speed sensor. D4 light means there is something wrong with your transmission. Finding out what is another process.

@@automotiveobsession7265 yeah I'm not sure and oddly enough the speedometer has given me no issues everything seems accurate but I'll have a a look at the speed sensor anyway just to be safe.

I appreciate the concern but it's already working and has been for a few weeks without syncing it to the ECU.

Please explain why you believe I’m flushing the dirt into the engine?

Which specific hose are you referring to? It can be the heater hose or you could be confusing it with the upper radiator hose?

Anytime. Glad it was helpful.

Glad it was helpful. You have no idea how much effort it took to learn everything to make this video😂

@@automotiveobsession7265it’s always appreciated man you’ve been my go to for everything w my 99 prelude 🙏🙌

Thanks 🙏

More content coming soon.

Yes you do.

Honestly it all depends how he blocked the coolant neck. Did he use a block off plate?

@@automotiveobsession7265 yes my brudda 😁😁😭 I kinda forgot that I am currently live in Thailand which is a very hot country so guessing that they don't need to connect the heater and by the way your videos helped me alot bro I learn so much of your channel keep up the great stuff G 💯💯

@@yungzu3359 Thanks man that means a lot. Glad the videos helped you. I would try to find a way to remove that block off plate to allow the coolant to flow through after installing a coolant hose. Let me know how it goes.

@@automotiveobsession7265 I will 100percent will connect it all back how it should be thanks alot bro 🫂🫂😁
