Engine turns over but won’t start (1992 Honda Prelude 2.0i)
I replaced the battery as it was dead and then started up the engine and it started fine. I did not take the car for a drive then.
The next day I tried to start the car and it would not start and heard a loud bang/pop noise from the engine area. Tried many times since then but the engine turns but won’t start.
For the past 9-12 months, it sometimes took a 2nd attempt to start the engine in the mornings, but it ALWAYS started.
It’s a very low mileage car for its age, 85,000 miles.
What could be causing the problem? And what do I need to do to get the car working again?
