1995 Honda Prelude problems
The Honda Prelude (Japanese: ホンダ・プレリュード, Hepburn: Honda Pureryūdo) is a sports car produced by the Japanese company Honda over five generations from 1978 to 2001. It is a two-door coupé that was loosely derived from the Honda Accord and was the first Honda to feature a moonroof, a feature that remained standard equipment throughout its production. The Prelude was used by Honda to introduce the Japanese Honda retail sales chain Honda Verno, with the international release of the model following shortly after. Production of the Prelude concluded in 2001 upon the introduction of the fourth-generation Integra. The Prelude name was originally trademarked by Toyota, but was amicably given to Honda for use. The Prelude complied with the series of music-themed vehicle names which Honda used at the time, along with the Accord, Quintet, Concerto, Jazz, and Ballade.
First generation (1978)
On 24 November 1978, the Prelude was launched to the Japanese market. It had its world premiere at the 1979 AutoRAI in Amsterdam, two months later. In Japan it was only available at the newly established dealership sales channel Honda Verno. This dealership chain also introduced the Honda Quint, the Honda Ballade, and the Accord-based Honda Vigor as its largest sedan and hatchback. The four-wheel independent struts, brakes, and engine were all borrowed from the first-generation Accord, but the chassis was all new and developed by chief engineer Hiroshi Kizawa expressly for the sporting Prelude. At 4,090 mm (length) x 1,635 mm (width) x 1,290 mm (height), it had quite a low and wide profile. The wheelbase was 2,320 mm, and was 60 mm shorter than that of the original Accord. Honda appears to have followed the successful introduction of the Toyota Celica example by taking a small car, like the Accord, installing a more powerful engine, and giving the body a short trunk, and a long engine hood. The Prelude (and period Accord) were the first cars under two liters to receive standard power steering. The Prelude also benefited from Honda's experience with sporting cars like the Honda S800 and Coupé 1300.
The Prelude was the first Honda model to offer a power moonroof as standard equipment, which eventually became a Prelude trademark. In Japan, the Prelude was available with a sliding metal sunroof, while US versions received a glass top which freed up more headroom. Japanese buyers were liable for slightly more annual road taxes over the smaller Civic, which also had a smaller engine. While marketed as a 2+2, the rear seat was not usable for anyone larger than a small child.
Initial reviews for the Prelude were favorable. "It is," wrote Brock Yates for Motor Trend, "by any sane measurement, a splendid automobile. The machine, like all Hondas, embodies fabrication that is, in my opinion, surpassed only by the narrowest of margins by Mercedes-Benz. It is a relatively powerful little automobile by anybody's standards." Motor Trend measured an early Prelude completing the quarter-mile in 18.8 seconds at 70 mph. In terms of underpinnings it was mostly a Honda Accord, although its more compact package and lower weight allowed for a marginally higher top speed and gas mileage.
The standard engine at the time of introduction was the "EL" SOHC eight-valve 1,602 cc (non-CVCC) inline-four rated at 80 PS (59 kW) at 5,000 rpm and 12.9 kg⋅m (127 N⋅m; 93 lb⋅ft) at 3,500 rpm. It remained the only engine available for most markets, aside from the US and Japan. It featured a non-automatic choke with three positions and a two-barrel carburetor. In September 1978 the larger "EK" SOHC 12-valve 1,751 cc CVCC inline-four was introduced in Japan, rated at 90 PS (66 kW) at 5,300 rpm (SAE gross). Automatics had five less horsepower. It took until March 1979 for the Prelude to appear in the United States, then with 72 hp (54 kW) at 4,500 rpm and 94 lb⋅ft (127 N⋅m) at 3,000 rpm (SAE net) from the larger 1.8 engine. The EK engine made use of an engine oil cooler and transistor-controlled ignition system.
Transmission choices were either the standard five-speed manual or initially a two-speed "Hondamatic" semi-automatic, which by October 1979 had been replaced by a three-speed automatic that used the final gear as the overdrive. In addition to the standard fabrics offered in most models, an 'Executive' option was offered in some markets which added power steering and Connolly leather upholstery. Honda used a single central gauge cluster design in this car which housed the speedometer and tachometer in one combined unit where both instrument's needles swept along the same arc. They also placed the compact AM/FM radio unit up high next to the gauge cluster. The Prelude featured intermittent wipers, tinted glass, and a remote trunk release. 1980 saw the introduction of the CVCC-II engine which employed the use of a catalytic converter and several other refinements that improved driveability, the Prelude also received a mild facelift in 1981. This facelift meant a return to a more traditional dashboard, rather than the much critiqued "Concentrated Target Meter" used before. The 1981 Prelude also received a stainless steel trim strip along the bumpers and side moldings, as well as a new grille. 313,000 units were manufactured by Honda from 1978 to 1982, with 80% being sold outside of Japan.
The Prelude was introduced in Europe during 1979, but was not a strong seller, its high asking price not helping its chances of sales success.

Common 1995 Honda Prelude problems
The Honda Prelude, particularly the 1995 model, is known for several common problems that owners have reported over the years. Here are some of the most frequently mentioned issues, along with their causes and potential solutions:
- Uneven Idle: When the car is idle, the revs keep moving up and down. This is usually due to a sticky or broken idle control valve, which can be found by following the air intake hose to the fuel injection chamber. Replacing the valve can solve this problem.
- Sticking Clutch Pedal: The clutch pedal is slow to return to its normal position after being applied, and changing gears becomes difficult. This is a sign that the clutch master cylinder is wearing out and needs to be replaced. If there's any fluid at the back of the gear pedal, a new seal for the cylinder may also be required.
- Weak Low Beam: The headlights are very weak when on a low beam, especially in the 5th generation Prelude models. This is not a fault but a design flaw. Installing HID retrofits can improve the headlight performance.
- Speedo Problems: The speedometer may not work properly or stop working altogether due to a fault with the speedo sensor. Fitting a replacement speedo sensor can solve this problem.
- Driveshaft Oil Seal Failure: Oil leaking onto the floor or difficulty changing into gear with a whining noise in fifth gear can indicate a driveshaft oil seal failure. Replacing the driveshaft oil seal can fix this issue.
- Rust Around Wheel Arches: Rust around the wheel arches, particularly on versions with stone chip protectors, is common in the Prelude. This can be addressed by rubbing down the rusted area until all the rust is gone, cutting out a section to remove the rusted patch, and then either touching up with paint or welding on a metal patch and painting over.
- Faulty Ignition System: The car may stall with no obvious engine malfunctions, often caused by a faulty ignition system. Installing a new ignition system can solve this problem.
- Non-Functioning Gearbox: The automatic gearbox may stop working entirely in 1997-2001 models. This can be caused by a variety of issues, including a faulty torque converter or solenoid.
- Cam Seal Leaks: Cam seals can leak oil after a while, especially in VTEC engines. Replacing the cam seals can solve this issue.
- H22 Engine Burns Oil: The H22 engine tends to burn oil more than most Hondas. Regular oil changes and monitoring the oil level can help address this issue.
- Trunk Leaks: The 5th generation Preludes may have trunk leaks, which can be caused by faulty seals or damaged trunk lining.
- ATTS Malfunctions: The ATTS system in the SH model can malfunction at high horsepower levels (250+whp). If you plan to modify your engine significantly, consider the base model instead.
- Warped Front Brake Rotors: Warped front brake rotors can cause vibration when braking. This issue can be addressed by replacing the rotors or having them resurfaced.
- Bad Starter or Ground Wire: A bad starter or ground wire can cause no-crank issues. Testing the starter and replacing the ground wire can solve this problem .
These are just a few of the common problems reported by Honda Prelude owners. Regular maintenance, monitoring the car's performance, and addressing issues promptly can help ensure a longer lifespan and more enjoyable driving experience.
Are old Honda Preludes reliable?
Honda quality means the Prelude generally stands up well in service, as long as they're looked after and see a mechanic regularly. Regular oil changes are important, along with regular oil changes for the automatic transmission, which prefers Honda trans fluid.
How long do Prelude engines last?
With basic maintenance these cars will last 250k+ with minimal problems, if you have a 5 speed. Keep the oil topped off the valves adjusted, and with regular tuneups every 40,000 miles, this car will never leave you stranded.
What is special about the Honda Prelude?
Power was boosted no matter what version you bought, with the base model now putting out 109 horsepower, the Si boasting 135 horsepower, and the extra treat that was four-wheel-steering. By the time the '90s rolled around, the Prelude featured the most powerful four-cylinder in Honda's American lineup.
Is Honda Prelude a rare car?
There is nothing wrong with it, but since these cars are rare, it sucks to see fewer stock Preludes on the road today. The fifth-generation Honda Prelude only sold 58,000 cars from 1997 to 2001. Out of those 58,000, only 10,000 were 2001 models.

Are you having problems with your 1995 Honda Prelude?
Emory Conroy 2025-01-07
Whenever I make a sharp turn in my Prelude, it just makes me feel great. The build quality is also outstanding. The only issue is that the car can feel a bit bumpy on uneven roads. I think Honda couldn't avoid this problem since the car is quite light.
Brock Schmitt 2025-01-01
My 1995 Prelude VTEC is an exceptional car that has never let me down. I have maintained it rigorously, and it has only ever had one issue - the stereo, which is a problem I have encountered with my '81 Civic and '88 Prelude as well. I purchased it brand new in August, and its serial number ends in 000445. I am currently restoring it to its original condition and plan to drive it for at least another 7 years. The Mighty Mite is perfect for me and my pug, and if you value reliable performance, this is the car for you.
Toby Tromp 2024-09-21
It's great to hear about your Prelude history! Your '85 Prelude sounded like it was a reliable car with an impressive mileage, but it's unfortunate that it was totaled. Your '94 Prelude si with 5 speed sounds like it's in great condition with a gorgeous body, immaculate interior, and a purring engine. With diligent maintenance, I'm sure it will pass the 300,000 mark with ease!
Kendall Reinger 2024-09-13
What can I say, this car is amazing!
Baron Luettgen 2024-09-08
This car is amazing! It's reliable and will keep you on the road for years. My H23 si has over 260,000 miles on it and still runs smoothly with no problems. Just remember to change the timing belt before 100,000 miles to avoid any issues. On the bright side, when I took the head off the engine, I was pleasantly surprised to find no sludge in the cylinder head. It's also great on gas, getting 27 miles per gallon. Contrary to what some may say, parts are not expensive. I was able to get my clutch for only $200, not the $1000 that others claim. Honda is definitely the way to go!
