Re: UK Honda Prelude '95 '96 VTEC questions

 Not sure that your questions are relevant Curly but the Toad is an
Honda supplied aftermarket. I can find more once I'v dug around under
the bonnet to find out which model and then try and get some fitting
details otherwise I have no information on it execpt to know that it is
an imobilser and alarm with panic button and also allows remote
locking. I was a bit surprised as I though that all that would be
standard but if it was it must have been upgraded, hence it being
supplied by Honda as a more secure system to the original (if there
ever was one).
It really the other questions that I'd like answering as a bit that
seems like something to do with the alarm probably is !
Cheers

 I had one of these for 6 years in the UK.
I never found a club specifically for the 2.2 Prelude (doesn't mean there
aren’t any, just that I mustn't have looked hard enough).

The doors shouldn't lock them selves, this maybe something to do with the
alarm. The only time I was locked out of my Prelude was when I was Jet
Washing it (left the engine running) and water must have forced it's self
into the electric part of the lock and the doors all locked. Luckily it
was only a 2-mile walk home to get the spare keys!!

The driver’s window should have an auto open by pushing the switch all the
way down until a faint click is felt. If this isn't working it may be to do
with the alarm as well (especially if it is a full closure type).
My prelude had a genuine Honda alarm/immobiliser factory fitted (but it is
an optional extra,WHY an option on a car as desirable as a V-tec
Prelude???) from new. Toad alarms are very good systems but they are
aftermarket units and possibly may not be fitted by Honda dealers.

Quote: - " to the far left, is a small round knob that does not turn but
is knurled anyway ". No idea what that is for, mine never had one.

All the switches on mine lit up, I never has cause to change any bulbs so
can't help on the switch removal.

If it is under warranty take it back with a written list of the faults and
leave the dealer with a copy and keep a copy your self.

Some reasons that the V-tec will not cut in at 5500rpm: if the oil is not
hot enough, the oil pressure and volume of oil is outside the required
limit, or if the V-tec controller has stopped working.

The only thing that I had repeated trouble with was sticking rear
callipers. This appears to be not just a 2.2 Prelude problem 'cause I
have had the same reoccurring problem with a 1989 2.0i Prelude, 1999 Civic
1.6 Vti coupe and a 2000 Civic 1.8 Vti 5 door.

The 2.2 Prelude is a nice car, enjoy it.
