Default 98 Accord throwing a CEL!!

Well my dads 98 accord is throwing a CEL now. sometimes its chokes and bogs when he steps on the gas real hard. I took it to a local autozone and had them check the code out, and it was a cylinder 4 misfire. The guy said it could be anything from spark plugs, wires, coils, valves, ETC. Well I went ahead and change the spark plugs. Now the car runs very smooth and responds is good. No more bogging or choking.

But the CEL is still on. Is there something else that is wrong with it? Or do I have to reset it? If I have to reset it how do I go on doing this? Dissconnect the batt.?

You can either remove the fuse or unplug the battery. Your choice.

Remember to jot down the radio presets because you will lose them.

The guy at autozone should have cleared them. Go back and see if there are any new codes. if not, he can clear them at the same time. Otherwise, check them yourself, and if they are repeats, just disconnect the backup fuse on passenger side between door and dash.
