hey guys i just did my timing belt,tensioner,and water pump and just did the valve seals. when i started the car up for the first time it ran good for the first like 30 seconds or so then it would idle low and like shit and would stall once in a while. i know i gotta replace the spark plugs because they are pretty much gone. and the plug wires are from 92 which could def be the issue. i made sure ther were no air pockets in the antifreeze and i was thinking its just not burning all the gas in the cylinders.

I would address your known ignition issues first. Then go from there.

I like Denso honestly. I use the TT's. Had them in the coupe and now the Integra.
$47 for Denso wires:

Cheapest I could find NGKs for were in the $60 range too.
**Not looking to start a big NGK vs Denso debate either. This is just my personal pref. after personal experiences.**

D15B7? Go with OEM Honda cap and rotor.
Honda OEM part numbers 30102-P54-006(cap), 30103-P08-003(rotor), 30132-PT2-006(cap gasket).
Should be around $35 total

Yea that duracrap stuff may be lifetime warranty, but who wants to keep going back to exchange the sub-par components when they fail?
