Why not just do it yourself?

This forum has a plethora of info.

is there a check engine light on?
O2 sensor[s] working?

I'm with the DIY^

As I scrolled down part way I thought that guy was in a karate uniform (gi). I laughed when I scrolled down some more and saw that I was wrong.

I am not doing it myself because I don't want to.

I have done plenty of work on this car the past 10+yrs. Put the engine and exhaust in myself a decade ago. Just do not feel like working on it, but would like to get it running right.

No CEL, just misfires at lower RPM's and both a chipped P28 ECU and a standard P05 (non chipped, non vtec) ECU.

Then you don't belong in the tech section, you belong in the regional sections. Is this the first time you've ever used a forum, or are you just this inconsiderate in every aspect of your life?

Agreed, makes me sad the people would rather pay a dealership 300$ for plugs and wires. Than just spend an evening on Honda tech and a morning with there car...
