So I recently brought a 97 prelude SH for the winter. It has lots miles on it, and there was oil inside the spark plug tube. So I change the valve gasket. And then a day later after I came home and change the spark plugs and now it wont start. So the next day I got new spark plug wires. Still nothing! The engine just make a noise that wants to click over but it just wont click over and start. But everything run and drives like champ.

Hello !

Its "cranking but not starting"?

If so.

Did you replace the spark plugs with the correct resistor?

What kind of spark plugs do you install?

Check for spark on the wires with the old spark plug and also the "new-ones.

Could be a wrong type and resistor.
Let us know!

Good Luck !
