Check your service manual to see the intervals that will show when they need to be changed. 60k is the "age" for Integras.

If you want to test them, hook them up to an Ohm meter and test them according to the specs in the Helms manual, which I dont have handy at this time.

Do faulty plug wires give the same symptoms as fuel injectors that need cleaning?
