i'm 100% sure that it was the plug wire itself not an addition.

Honda ignition systems are picky. Even "regular" aftermarket spark plug wires can cause it to misfire badly. Putting something as off the wall as neon tubes on there is going to cause it to act up.

Now you can probably wrap neon tubes around the wires that are on there and they'll probably light up, but trying to run a spark through a neon and expect it to ignite the air fuel mixture is pushing it.
