CEL help!
hello guys, am new to the forum. Got a grey 2000 S2k and I have 92000 miles on it. Recently I was driving in freezing conditions here in Kansas and then my CEL came on!!! Took it to autozone and the computer said cylinder 4 missfire I believe. Gave it to honda dealership and they said they couldnt find any problems with it..while charging me like $150.00 
All they said was that I should change my spark plugs.. So me being the genius that I am..went and bought some 4 point Bosch plugs..installed them and reset the CEL by disconnecting battery..but the light came on again soon. Also, this time the reader says all cylinder are missfiring..but the engine still runs very smooth except for some roughness at idle... I Dont know what to do..am thinking maybe go for stock plugs and change fuel filter.. Any help please! Also what should be the gap on stock plugs?

Please throw away those plugs and get the OEM ones (which are pre-gapped). If the problem returns, you could have a bad coilpack.
The fuel filter is not the problem.
