AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
| CAUTION | On Accord and Prelude models, when substituting a known-good PCM, immobilizer code must be rewritten to replacement PCM using Honda PGM tester, or engine will not start. |
Intake Air Control System (Prelude)
Intake air control solenoid valve is located at right side of engine, under intake air duct. When engine speed is below 3970 RPM, the ECM supplies ground to the Intake Control Solenoid. This opens the solenoid valve sending intake manifold vacuum to the Intake Control Diaphragm.
Scheme 37
- Start engine and allow to idle. Disconnect No. 8 vacuum hose from upper port on intake control solenoid valve. See «VACUUM DIAGRAMS»(ref-16356) article. Check for vacuum at solenoid valve. If vacuum does not exist, go to next step. If vacuum exists, go to step 6).
- Disconnect No. 8 vacuum hose from intake control vacuum tank. See «VACUUM DIAGRAMS»(ref-16356) article. Check for vacuum at intake control vacuum tank. If vacuum exists, go to next step. If vacuum does not exist, repair blockage or vacuum leak between intake control vacuum tank and intake manifold.
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect intake control solenoid valve 2-pin connector. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between intake control solenoid valve connector terminals No. 1 (White wire) and No. 2 (Black/Yellow wire). See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If battery voltage is not present, go to next step. If battery voltage is present, replace intake control solenoid valve.
- Measure voltage between ground and intake control solenoid valve 2-pin connector terminal No. 2 (Black/Yellow wire). If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, repair open in Black/Yellow wire between intake control solenoid valve connector and fuse No. 14 (ECU CRUISE CONTROL) located in under-dash fuse/relay box. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
- Turn ignition off. Reconnect intake control solenoid valve 2-pin connector. Turn ignition on.

- Apply vacuum slowly and continuously while observing vacuum gauge. Vacuum should stabilize momentarily at 0.2-0.6 in. Hg. If vacuum is as specified, go to next step. If vacuum is not as specified, replace 2-way valve. Re-test system.
- Move vacuum pump hose from vacuum fitting to pressure fitting. Move vacuum gauge hose from vacuum side to pressure side. See STEP 2 in (Scheme 43). Slowly pressurize vapor line while observing gauge. If pressure momentarily stabilizes at 0.4-1.4 in. Hg, valve is okay. If pressure stabilizes at less than 0.4 in. Hg or more than 1.4 in. Hg, replace valve and re-test.

- Remove fuel tank filler cap. Disconnect vapor hose from fuel tank side of 2-way valve, located above EVAP canister. Install "T" fitting into hose. Connect vacuum gauge (0-4 in. Hg scale) and hand vacuum pump to "T" fitting. See STEP 1 in (Scheme 44).
- Apply vacuum slowly and continuously while observing vacuum gauge. Vacuum should stabilize momentarily at 0.2-0.6 in. Hg. If vacuum is as specified, go to next step. If vacuum is not as specified, replace 2-way valve. Re-test system.
- Move vacuum pump hose from vacuum fitting to pressure fitting. Move vacuum gauge hose from vacuum side to pressure side. See STEP 2 in (Scheme 44). Slowly pressurize vapor line while observing gauge. If pressure momentarily stabilizes at 0.3 in. Hg, valve is okay. If pressure stabilizes at less than 0.3 in. Hg, replace valve and re-test.
POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION
Inspect crankcase ventilation hoses and connections for leaks and clogging. Start engine. With engine at idle, pinch and release PCV hose. Valve should click. If valve does not click, check for vacuum at PCV valve end of hose. If manifold vacuum exists, replace PCV valve and recheck. If vacuum does not exist, clear blockage in hose.

| CAUTION | When substituting a known-good PCM, immobilizer code must be rewritten to replacement PCM using Honda PGM tester, or engine will not start. |
Note. Following procedure should be performed if engine vibrates excessively at idle.
- Check vacuum lines and hoses for damage and proper connection. Repair/replace hoses as necessary. If vacuum lines and hoses are okay, start and warm engine to normal operating temperature (radiator cooling fan comes on). Allow engine to idle. If idle RPM is less than 800 RPM, go to next step. If idle RPM is not less than 800 RPM, adjust idle speed. See «ON-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS»(ref-16352) article.
- Fully depress brake pedal. With transaxle in gear, have an assistant disconnect and reconnect engine mount control solenoid valve 2-pin connector. (Scheme 45) If there is no noticeable change in idle RPM when engine mount control solenoid valve 2-pin connector is disconnected, go to next step. If there is a noticeable change in idle RPM when engine mount control solenoid valve 2-pin connector is disconnected, engine mount control system is operating properly. Reconnect engine mount control solenoid valve 2-pin connector.
- Place transaxle in Neutral or Park. Disconnect engine mount control solenoid valve 2-pin connector. Measure voltage of Black/Yellow wire between body ground and engine mount control solenoid valve 2-pin connector terminal No. 2. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, repair open in Black/Yellow wire between engine mount control solenoid valve 2-pin connector and No. 6 (15-amp) fuse in driver's underdash fuse/relay box. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article.
- Measure voltage across both terminals (Black/Yellow wire and Green/White wire) of engine mount control solenoid valve 2-pin connector. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, repair open in Green/White wire between engine mount control solenoid valve and PCM connectors. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If Green/White wire is okay, substitute known-good PCM and retest. If battery voltage is now present, replace original PCM.
- Increase engine speed above 1000 RPM and measure voltage across both terminals (Black/Yellow wire and Green/White wire) of engine mount control solenoid valve 2-pin connector. If battery voltage is not present, go to next step. If battery voltage is present, repair short to ground in Green/White wire between engine mount control solenoid valve and PCM connectors. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If Green/White wire is okay, substitute known-good PCM and retest.
- Disconnect upper vacuum hose from engine mount control solenoid valve, and connect vacuum pump/gauge to hose. Apply vacuum to hose for 20 seconds. If engine mount holds vacuum, go to next step. If engine mount does not hold vacuum, repair or replace vacuum hose or engine mount.
- Release vacuum from engine mount, and then apply vacuum again. If there is a noticeable change in idle RPM smoothness with or without vacuum applied, go to next step. If there is no noticeable change in idle RPM smoothness with or without vacuum applied, replace engine mount.
- Remove vacuum pump/gauge from vacuum hose. Reconnect upper vacuum hose to engine mount control solenoid valve. Disconnect lower vacuum hose from engine mount control solenoid valve, and connect vacuum pump/gauge to hose. If vacuum is present, replace engine mount control solenoid valve. If vacuum is not present, repair engine mount control system as necessary.
