AboutSkip Bollinger Expertise Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you.
I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire.
If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle.
PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you..

Question I have a 92 prelude was on the highway started accelerating and check engine light came on, lost all power but engine stayed on, until i put the car into N, pulled over waited 5 min. the car started again went 1/4 mile car did same thing didn't die until put into N.
Answer Cary,
This question is out of my realm of expertise but will offer some thoughts for you... Please remember I'm a Parts Professional as stated in my profile, NOT a Tech... Okay? Heree we go...
If, when the engine died, as you state, the check engine light came on, it set a "code" in the computer. This code can be "read" if you have or can buy, borrow, rent, or steal a code reader. It will tell you what "system" set the code and turned on the check engine light.
Now, remember this, the code reader will tell you which system set the light but NOT exactly what the problem is. If it tells you the "oxygen sensor" may be bad, it COULD BE a wire going to the sensor. You cannot just assume it is the oxygen sensor. The same goes with any other system. The reader will give you direction but you cannot just say that the major part of that system, Oxygen Sensor as used in the example above, is the problem. It could direct you to the Idle Air Control Motor, Throttle Position Sensor and so on. You need to have the computer read to tell you which system is in error but you may have to dig deep into that system to actually find the problem.
I hope this helps. Good luck...
