just had my ngk wires installed along with iridium 9 spark plugs for my 98 prelude. arent they supposed to make my car start faster. and if they dont, do i need a better/diff distributor?

 

The plug wires that you put in do not need a better distrubtor. Replacing the wire to racing wires does not really add that much power and the car will start the same way it all was starts.

 

have you replaced the fuel filter and dist cap and rotor lately? those are two things i have noticed will make mine start hard

 

Car's will also take longer to start naturally if it's cold out, batteries don't like cold temps. how much time does it take to start?

What/where is the dist cap/rotor located. Someone else told me to do that, i mean to replace those things

 

you pulled the wires off of the distributor cap when you changed them. Unbolt that and your rotor will be right there.

 

if you looking for better ignition go with msd distributor cap and rotor, and the coil while your at it. i recently did a full tune up on my car and it runs much more smoother than it did before, i changed the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor, pcv valve, fuel filter, oil change, air filter, and changed the coolant that is pretty much it.

 

Yep I would say cap and rotor would be next. And how long is it taking to start? Once, my problem was also a weak battery

You payed someone else to install plug wires??

I can't imagine why that would make your car start faster unless your old plugs where messed up really bad. You do not need a different distributor, nor are there any made for an H22.

And MSD ignition parts are not better than OEM as far as replacement parts go.

 

ye i paid my friend liek 5 bux to do my wires and plugs cuzz i was too lazy

 

it takes me like 2 seconds to start, but if u think bout it, thats a long time, should start in half a second

 

Do you let your fuel pump prime before you start it? It takes a second to get fuel pressure going, so if you let pump prime (by turning the ignition, but not starting it) it may start faster.

 

there isnt anything you can really do ignition wise on a stock motor that is going to make the car noticable faster. Dynos have shown a few whp gain but nothing you would notice.

Changing your wires and other maintaince isnt going to make your car "faster" maybe it will feel faster than before but that would only be if your old wires and parts were worn. The only thing you should probably see is an increase in mpg, which IMO is more important these days on a DD.

 

true i am with you there, mpg is big now a days. preludes take a lot of gas and waste it in a short time, so better mpg is good.
