It means you need to put the wire back on. Did it work OK after that?

For ignition parts I would stay with stock ones from a dealer, and use the NGK V-Power conventional spark plugs (which you can buy anywhere). Aftermarket wire sets, any of them, have been very unreliable.

I would go with the stock plugs I have a 2k Si and I ran the cheaper platniums and it ran like crap and had misfires alot beware the plugs that are listed in the owners manual are around $14 bucks each

Spark Plug part numbers for the 2000 Civic Si are NGK: PFR6L-13 and Denso PK20PR-L13
