You're about to hit Ludicrous speed!

Chris,

If you plan to do any work on your own car, you need at least an
Owner's Manual (OM). I have a '95 Nissan I revently got (with no OM of
course) but was able to order -- for only $12 including shipping -- a
brand new OM from Nissan Publications. Honda may be similar.

At least find an OM.

Failing that -- or preferably in addition to -- get a $15 Haynes
Repair Manual (or Chilton) for your car.

Ask here for help, but the manuals are your best and most reliable
sources.

Good luck,

John D.
