For the second time in about a month, I've done a set of plugs, cap & rotor and wires on a Honda. I did my wife's 98 CR-V in December and tonight, I did the 1991 Prelude. Aside from the height of the car, the Prelude was much easier.

You had me at Prelude. Is the Prelude an oil-burner yet? Those CRF liners eat up the sides of pistons pretty well.

I haven't driven it much yet. I know it's leaking oil. It passed Nevada emissions testing 2 years ago and my daughter didn't drive it much and then it sat for 18 months.

I had a '90 with the B20A5, and I dream of picking one up again some day.

The car is in good physical condition, mechanically.... I'm not sure yet. I will take it on the 140 mile r/t commute tomorrow. It seems to run ok, we'll see what the drive brings.

good luck. Post a picture of the car when you can. Mine was pheonix red.

It's Jalopnik brown metallic with a brown interior. I believe it is the original color. I drove it to my part-time job today. 70 miles each way. No problems but it wasn't real happy. It needs tires and some attention under the hood for what seems to be an occasional miss.

1991 Honda Prelude Si. Brown exterior, brown interior and automatic transmission. CEL comes on after about 20 minutes on the highway. I have decoded the trouble codes as 3 and 4. MAP sensor and vacuum. Rock Auto shows the map sensor for either $80 or $300. I haven't figured out the difference between the two choices.
