Help!!

alright, my prelude had this same issue. 3 items to look at (a total of 250 in parts)

fuel filter, fuel pump and main relay.

the fuel filter is where what looks like a brake booster is (someone circled it in a previous post), fuel pump is in the tank, main relay is under the drivers side dash to the left (if you're sitting in the drivers seat) of the steering column.

Id guess your fuel pump was going out, but thats just me.

Would my car not start if the fan was not working? even if the car was cold...? I finally got it in the shop and the guy said it was the fan...

never go to that shop again lol

I had this EXACT same problem in my prelude. It IS your fuel pump. Just from everything iv'e read so far, replace the fuel filter AND your fuel pump and I promise it will fire right up.

Kristen, when you change the filter make sure you have LOTS of rags handy. Most likely you'll get a good amount of fuel leaking out...

Cold weather and low fuel is hard on the pump, could have burnt the pump up.

i never went below 1/4 tank in MN for fear of exactly this.

Hey all i am new to honda and this web site for that matter, i purchased a 96 honda prelude sr-v (2.2 vtec) with 220k ... which also brings me new to oil burning. I have heard that vtec does burn some oil but i believe mine may be more than average what is the best way to fix this.. head gasket and piston rings? any help would be great

You should start your own thread. People will be more likely to help you out that way.
