Spark plug AC DELCO or OEM Honda
I paid $42 for the ACDelco iridium plugs, $45 for the ACDelco pro wire set.
GM products run best with AC Delco plugs, just like Ford products run best with Motorcraft or Autolite.
I did put ac delco factory iridium plugs from rockauto on mine at 100k.
While I had the coils out, I replaced the plugs (used ACDelco double platinum professional grade, proper gap. No NGKs were available). After I replaced the coils, the misfire code(s) went away for a few days.
And timing belt, and spark plug change every 90 K miles or so.
Sounds like it could be a spark plug. For some reason the Prelude likes to eat through them. Shows the exact same symptoms you describe (loss of power, different exhaust note).
Put them into a stock '87 Subarban and tore my hair out thinking I messed up the wires 'cause it idled so bad. Really, like I had two wires switched. Put the old worn regular AC's that I just took out and it idled perfect.
