hiya, i have a 2.2vtec 4th generation prelude. The engine management light is now coming on after 5mins of starting from cold & then starts mis-firing & generally running really rough with a lot less power. I think it could be a temperature sensor somewhere but not to sure. could anyone give me advise on what could be causing this problem or what best to check 1st? thanks.

i managed to get the code...which was cel 9 which, i believe is the cylinder/crank sensors which are located in the distributer. i recently had the distributer replaced so iv taken it back to the garage...so im just going to have to wait & see what they say. its just a pain in the arse really. I think they've given me a faulty distributer. if they say that the distributer was fine, is there anything else that could be wrong with the car that is causing the distributer to become faulty? thanks
