I use to have a honda a long time ago, now i'm all nissan, but a engine is a engine, only the electronics change. My girlfriends friend stopped by her dads house one day and ask for help with his car a '88 prelude. Her dad called me because he was busy. He brought me the car. I knew what the problem was and why none of the local shops wanted to do business. He spun a bearing the cost of repair would be more than what the car is worth, but he said he loved the car and i decided to do it for him for free. I took the car apart cleaned it up checked the tolerances replaced the bearing. Here is the problem car will not start or idle unless it is at W.O.T.. I do not understand this at all. I have never seen this in all my years under a hood. At W.O.T. it idles at 500 rpm. I layed a brick on the pedal and let it run for 20 minutes no change. I figured i could at least seat the bearing. I've checked all fuses, and connections, he had removed all emissions control devices when i got the car.
Another thing the cooling fan did not come until i turned the car off, the tempature gauge never moved. What did i do wrong?? I am sorry i had to register to ask this question. I figure if anyone knows it would be you guys.
