Some of you might remember a while back i was asking all kinds of questions about getting O2 Sensor and Catalytic converter and stuff. well after not really driving my car for about two months, i finally checked the plug wires. holy $h!t!! Blue neon lights all over the place. sparks crossing from one wire to the next in one solid line about 8 inches long. so i changed the plugs and wires, and damn, i forgot how civics were supposed to drive. Took not many seconds and i was doing 110 before i knew it. the CEL code for the cat did not come on again either, so she is VTec.

The codes i was getting:
All 4 cylinders misfiring
Secondary o2 sensor
catalytic converter

remedy:
one set of plug wires from local parts store: $46
one set of NGK plugs (stock plugs) $18

thanks for all the input i got before
