Honda Prelude Owners Manual
The Honda Prelude is a sports coupe produced by Japanese automaker Honda from 1978 until 2001. It replaced the Honda S800, a front-engined, rear-wheel drive sports car. The two-door coupe spanned five generations and was eventually discontinued upon the release of the fifth-generation Honda Integra or Acura RSX Type-S in North America in late 2001 as well as the release of the Honda S2000 in early 1999, due to its decreasing sales and popularity. In the U.S. auto market, the sixth-generation and subsequent Accord Coupes became the de facto replacement for the Prelude. The other Honda Prelude one should consider is the fourth-generation model, which was sold for the 1992-'96 model years. A complete overhaul of the previous model, this Prelude was slightly shorter, much wider and a far better-handling car. The S trim featured a 135-hp 2.2-liter SOHC four-cylinder. The Si had a 160-hp 2.3-liter DOHC four-cylinder with a healthy 156 pound-feet of torque. From 1993 on, the fourth-generation Prelude could also be had in range-topping Si VTEC trim, which brought a 2.2-liter 190-hp DOHC four equipped with Honda's electronic variable valve timing (VTEC) system. A four-wheel-steering system was available in 1992-'93, though only on the Si model. The Prelude's perennial competitor has been the Toyota Celica, another straight-4-powered coupe introduced several years prior to the Prelude. Throughout the 1980s, the Prelude was challenged by the Nissan Silvia, Isuzu Impulse, Mitsubishi FTO, Mitsubishi Cordia (later the Eclipse), Opel Manta/Opel Calibra, Ford Probe and Mazda MX-6. Out of all of these contemporaries, the Eclipse is the only car that remains in production.
Ownerâs Manuals1998 Prelude Helms Manual Download Windows 7Option 1: The Manufacturerâs WebsiteThe first place to go for your vehicleâs ownerâs manual is the makerâs website. Most automakers donât ask for login information to get access to the manuals; all you have to do is search for your model.Below are the portals where you can begin that process for most of the big car makers. Some of these sites only have manuals dating back a few years; others (such as Volvo) have manuals for vehicles made in the â70s.Acura | Audi | BMW | Buick | Cadillac | Chevrolet | Chrysler | Dodge | Ford | GMC | Honda | Hyundai | Infiniti | Jeep | Kia | Land Rover | Lexus | Lincoln | Mazda |1998 Prelude Helms Manual Download VideoMercedes-Benz | Mercury | Nissan | Oldsmobile | Pontiac | Porsche | Scion | Smart | Subaru | Toyota | Volkswagen| VolvoOption 2: Third-Party WebsitesSome sites have put together databases of ownerâs manuals, some of which are a bit more obscure or only available if your register on the website (weâre looking at you, Hyundai).Just Give Me The Damn ManualJust Give Me The Damn Manualâs owner was frustrated at the number of sites that offered manuals in exchange for money, signups or ad spam, so he/she created an easy site for car and truck owners to get their manuals easily.Makes covered:Acura, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Honda, Hummer, Hyundai, Jeep, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saab, Saturn, Toyota, VolvoLibrary of MotoringNothing but Mini manuals here.

You have two options then, both of which are going to cost money. First, check out Helm Inc., which publishes factory service manuals and ownerâs manuals. They will have some of the harder-to-find stuff.If Helm doesnât have what youâre looking for, you must be rolling around around town in something like a mid-60s Citroen. Time to hit up eBay. It is amazing what ownerâs manuals are available there. As an example, at the time of writing there are 20 different 1960 Corvair ownerâs manuals for sale.Service Manuals: The Free OptionsThe information contained in service manuals is generally proprietary and very valuable, so publishers charge a lot for that knowledge. Nevertheless, there are a handful of legal resources where you can find service manuals for free.Option 1: Do you drive a Hyundai or a Kia?If so, those two automakers publish data for the shop manuals on company-owned websites:Hyundai | KiaNote that the sites only pertain to their vehiclesâ American models. To get access, simply create a username and password, and you will be taken to the companiesâ documents database.Option 2:If you drive something else, try the resources AutoZone provides. You have to join the websiteâs MyZone portal, which is free, and doing so grants you access to the companyâs own Vehicle Repair Guides, which cover numerous makes and models from 1950â2007.Option 3: You local libraryMany libraries tend to stock physical copies of Haynes and Chilton repair manuals. Check your local branch to see which copies are immediately available. If the repair manual for your vehicle is not in stock but you can wait a few days, see whether the manual is available to you elsewhere via inter-library loans.One last note on illegal copies of service manualsWe understand that some people would prefer to pirate a free copy of a service manual rather than drop $20 on a book. We wonât link to any sites providing pirated content, but we will warn anyone who goes looking for them to watch out for malicious files.If someone in a forum is posting a .zip file to download, be careful. From your perspective, the odds are close to 50-50 that this is a useful document or that it is malicious software like a virus. Thatâs a big gamble to save 20 bucks.Service Manuals: When All Else Fails, Here Are the Paid Options
Online access to service and shop manuals is scarce, even if you pay for it. Your best bet for DIY auto repairs, even in 2014, is still to buy a hard copy of the service manual, whether it is a used authorized manual or a third-party publication.

eBay (price varies)
You can find used copies of actual factory service manuals on eBay. Due to the nature of that marketplace, price and selection vary wildly from day to day, and shipping will probably not be as fast as it would be on Amazon. That said, if you have, say, a 1972 GMC 1500 Series pickup that you want to do some repairs on, youâre in luck.
