No CEL.
Fuel system is as good as new since that thief mechanic went through it completely and replaced a perfectly good fuel pump for no reason.
I could check to see if there is arcing in the wires but since it runs so perfectly when it is running I doubt that the wires or coil are at fault.
KYB struts are made in China so DO NOT use them. The quality is not there and your car is pretty much the sum of the parts. Inferior parts = inferior car. You can get the OEM made in USA or Japan struts from an online discount Honda dealer for a little more than the KYBs. Try Honda Parts Unlimited online.
Pretty much any shop can install shocks so shop around.
Be sure to buy the shock boots (like $15) and you might as well buy the mounts for them for the front end because as long as you are paying for the labor you might as well get it done right and at one time. It would suck if the mount broke after new shocks because you have to take the shocks out and pay for all of that labor again.
When I had a Toyota Celica I shopped around for shocks and researched every kind that was made for my car. KYB was the OEM supplier to Toyota and made their struts in Japan to cut down on transport or perhaps taxation costs when the car was new and bulit there. The KYB replacement was made in China for that car. I am not saying all KYBs are but most all of the aftermarket parts are made in China these days. For the Celica I wanted to go with a gas charged strut instead of just oil school oil damping that was stock. Bilstein touring class and heavy duty struts were the only after market lines I found not to be made in China. The touring class were German made and the HD were made in Japan.
shockwarehouse.com used to sell them years ago and if you pick to go that route I would call and specifically ask them where it is made and if they do not know ask them to have someone in a warehouse somewhere physically walk to the box of the model number you need to find out.
Hondapartsunlimlited has the stock Honda struts for your car for $99 each for the fronts.
