Sounds like the common main relay problem that plauges this generation of Hondas. These Matsuba relays are usually the problem. I am in the midst of the same issue with my CRX with a 1.5 liter transplant. Relay is located under the dash in the drivers compartment area of the vehicle. Identified as a small black box with a connector pluged into it. Will say Matsuba Rz and some serise of 4 numbers dependent on your particular relay. There are a lot of diagrams to check the relay. After detemining the type of relay you have just search Bing or Google for Matsuba (what ever seriese relay) schematic. My suggestion for a site: http://techauto.tripod.com/index.htm. Good luck!

Have you checked compression ?
Both engines are interference style which means you can damage the valves if the belt breaks while the engine is running.

Have a 1989 honda prelude si cant find fuel filter

Carbureted engines: Two filters; a small one is in the fuel line under the hood; a larger one is located at the rear, just inboard of the left rear wheel.
Fuel-injected engines: the filter is located in the engine compartment, against the firewall, just to the left (as you face the engine) of the throttle housing, and slightly lower (follow the fuel line from your fuel rail, where your injectors are, back to it). It has two fuel lines (in and out) going to it, and it is held in place by a clamp which bolts it to the firewall.
Hope this helps you find it.

1989 honda prelude. engine surges. from normal to 2100 rpms

There is a warm up valve on the throttle body(should have 2 small coolant hoses). remove the valve and have someone start the car while you block the port to the valve on the intake. If that clears up the problem you can cut a piece of cardboard to mount in between the valve and intake.should straighten it out.

89 Honda Prelude failing emissions rich

is everything stock? and you have catalitic converter in place?

Stop by Schucks auto supply and have them run the codes. i'm sure there is a code if you cant pass emissions. your check engine light bulb is probably out.

and usually the first cause is the first o2 sensor.
