Prelude Standar Alarm system

[Sherm]

Anyone know anything about the standar fitted alarm on a 92 prelude? I have one and every now and then whne i go and start the engine it does not start, like the imobilzer has cut in. Been doing it for a while now and is really annoying at petrol stations ! lol
Anyway, it did it a few days ago, normally i have to get out lock and alarm the car, sometimes wait five mins and then all is fine. This time however it did not work, but i noticed that when i alarmed the car it flashed twice as normal but then had one quick flash ?
Anyone able to help?

Does it only not start when the car has been used/is warm?

If so - that screams the common "main relay" issue - basically the relay that controls the fuel pump is under the dashboard, and if you've got the heater on, it expands slightly, and the solder joints have separated slightly, but when it cools it's fine again.

Solution - simple! Take it out, and re-solder all the joints

Oh, and get yourself registered on PreludeUK, and post up some pics/details if you haven't already!

No, the instance that i mentioned when the alarm flashed 3 times i had only moved the car from one space to another to let a van in. Saying that though, it always starts in the morning. Just seems that i can leave work and drive say 3 miles to the petrol station, fill up get back in and the car won't start.

Your suggestion might be worth a look though Would still like to know what the 2 flashes and a quick flash means though....

PreludeUK, sure will take a look, had the car for 4 years now and love it
