Uni Select Auto PArts store are having a sale for NGK plugs for $1.99 a plug.
I've seen them online for about 2.50 a plug, but they still have ~$5-6 in shipping causing it to be more like $8 a plug.

They also have some other good deals that are lasting until 12/24/07..

Just a heads up :)

*L* I just noticed you asked how to bleed the cooling system like 4 times...

Here:

Fill up the radiator (when cold),

Follow your upper radiator hose back to where it connects to the motor

At the point where the hose connects you should see what looks like a little nut (10 or 12mm) with a nipple sticking up

start the car and let it get up to temperature

very carefully and very slowly unscrew that nut/nipple piece (warning, hot coolant is going to come out)

once a little coolant dribbles out tighten the bolt back down

Now the system is bled

let the car cool off, make sure you still have a nice and full radiator and you're done.

Also, before you worry about the coil, test it!!! The Bosch plugs have to go and the real reason that they fry coils is that they have the wrong electrical resistance for Honda coils.

Coils can cause the bouncing tach/engine issue.

haha yeah no prob. though. so what will the bleeding of the coolant sys. do for my car? yeah falkore24 ill test it and if its got good spark i guess ill leave it, id like to get a new high perf. one anyway but i guess ill wait and get some iridium ngk's.
P.S: when i put the bosch in i felt such a nice good acceleration, they helped quite a bit

The IACV & FITV have coolant running thru them. If they occasionally see an air bubble, they get confused & the idle speed goes up & down.

I had Bosch Pt+4 plugs in my '95 GSR & they didnt give me any trouble. Butlots of people have had problems,so ???

...
Bouncing tach coming from the coil? Don't get confused with wrong-year or wrong-engine stuff. The tach signal in a V-6 apparently comes from the coil. On your '94 4-cyl the tach signal comes from the ignitor. Later on ('98+) the tach signl comes from the ECU.

And... your F-series engine has the water bleed valve on the thermostat housing. Follow the LOWER radiator hose back to the engine. It goes over the tranny towards the back corner. The air bleed nipple is back there. It looks kinda like a brake bleeder screw.

k well I just bled my cooling sys. and no air came out. then i opened my radiator cap and air came out but was pretty damn full. so i pulled the elec. plug on pt. #19 and heard a weird gurggling sound that sounded like it was coming from my thermostat. so plugged it back in and left it. then i pulled off my cai and plugged the hole on the bottom and sounded like it idled down a bit then plugged both holes and it was gonna die so i let go. that everything i did so far what do you guys think?
