I believe you have to turn off the key, hold the trip odometer button in, then turn the key on while still holding the button for like 10 seconds. Check the owners manual, but I believe this is correct....

By the way - ex-navy guy here - tell your son I said "Hello, shipmate!!"

Plug wires may be in the wrong firing order when he changed them.

Honda went to coil-over-plug in the early 2000s
