spark plug & cylinder numbering
Ok, I've looked through forum, and service manual, but without pulling harness
wiring colors, I cannot match where plug 1,2, etc is.
When I get a CEL, I want to go to THAT plug, fer sure.

not 100% sure if im understanding you... but if you were to look at the front of the motor, that is cylinder number 1, and as you go back, the number increases. the firing order if that helps is 1, 3,4,2

First, I used my new Acton CP9135 to read codes: P0301,P0304,P0300. I looked codes up.
I read threads on subject. I replaced plugs ( Bosch Plat +4 ) 8000 miles ago.
I checked plugs to find 2 were loose!! I re-inserted,again with never seeze on threads. I have not yet picked up a 3/8" torque wrench to do better job *&^)_+?>!
(Never had that happen before with changing plugs)
I DID NOT clear CEL codes, IN CASE I had to take to dealer.
I have 2003 Certified warranty fm Honda, but MAY not be covered.

Might not want to use BOSCH platinum's. I use NGK iridiums from PEPBOYS. They go for ~ $8 each.
Have you checked your coil packs? If you need to I have a few spares to see if you are still having random misfires. Lemme know.
