Shoaib Ali It's bloggin time

I have been having a lot of trouble with my car lately. It's a honda so no surprise there, never the less I like my Honda Prelude XX 1989 4WS 2 Ltr twin-carb. I wish it wasn't made by honda. You don't find a car these days even NEW with these features

4WS (4 Wheel Steering) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4WS#Four-wheel_steering
ALB (Anti-Locking Brake) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system
Cruise Control
Manual
Sunroof

Find me a car with all the above under $2K NZD.

Anyway, recently I have been noticing some roughness in the cars RPM and idling speed. It didn't drive smooth either. The possible cause could be

Ignition Control Module | Distributor | Ignitor
Vacuum leak
Ignition Coil

I replaced the ICM from Pick A Part, but it was still troubling with its annoying rattling idle rpm. While I was driving the module failed. Lesson learned : Never trust or rely on parts from second hand/ damaged cars i.e Pick A Part

Luckily I own two of these preludes 1:1 copy. So, I was able to get the distributor out of the other prelude and stick it in and was back on the road. Not only that, the idle rpm was smooth as well.

So, after above lesson learned I jumped on www.honda.co.nz to order a NEW distributor. I followed the parts section all the way through to my closest distributors website. This is what I end up on.

This is ridiculous, why do businesses have websites? This is even more disappointing then their cars. No wonder people hate the name.
