1985 Honda Prelude replaced alternator and
I had an 84 Prelude with a similar problem. I will assume that the car runs just fine as though there is nothing wrong but has the light on. When this happened to me it was just a bad diode in the alternator. If the battery takes a load fine and shows good charge then take off the alternator, take it back to autozone or wherever you bought it and have them test it. I would bet there is a diode bad and they will give you a replacement. Good luck!

Pull plug wires one at a time, the one that has no effect isn't firing. Bad plug or wire.

Thermovalve (fast idle) in 1986 Honda EX 12V carbu engine
Those thermo valves can't be fixed. It sounds like your describing thermo valve A. The one right next to it is thermo valve B, (It's blue) Thermo valve B can be bought new from most good parts houses. I haven't been able to find a new thermo valve A so you may have to go to a junk yard with a hand vacuum pump and find a good one. Good luck with this. Those plastic connectors are very brittle and can be broken easily with a slip of the wrench.
