    92 prelude dies after running for a while
    Ok, today me and my husband went riding around... we went up to the mountains and everywhere else. When we were heading home, the oil light and the battery light both come on then it dies... it sounds like it sputters too. I tried to re start it but it wouldn't crank unless I pumped the gas... but once I let off the gas it dies again... I am thinking it is my fuel injector messing up... idk though... I just replaced the distributor on it and it was working fine until today... wat could it be?

    If the Check Engine Light comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), then focus on the distributor. I suspect you installed an aftermarket distributor, which is likely the problem. Over 50% of new aftermarket distributors for Hondas have not worked at AMHD; the remaining ones have been unreliable. Either exchange it for another or, preferably, install a genuine Honda distributor. I only recommend genuine Honda distributor housings, where it's fine to install an aftermarket Ignition Control Module (ICM), to keep the cost down.
