It has a new distributor cap and rotor, plus new plug wires and plugs, and the valves have been recently adjusted. I didn't use OEM Honda parts (correct plugs though) but my money is on it being one of them. It's also possible it's the ignition coil, which is a $20 part. I believe the car has a spare distributor, if it comes to that. I'm inclined to think it's spark rather than a fuel injection issue.
