plugs dont cause the check engine light. a misfire might mean timing or something. you need to actually go to honda and have them check it out. since its an 01' its probably all under warrenty.

Last time I was at honda the tech said the misfire might be from the plugs, and when he checked the light it was plugs. I dont have money to let the idiots up there diagnos and fix the prolly easy problem. Im gonna buy all new ignition components and have my shop install them correctly and hope the prob goes away. Thanks for reply any other opinions?
