:doh: this is why you change your spark plugs one by one 
In every car I've ever seen, the spark plug cables from the distributor are all different lengths - so pull them all out, and compare their lengths. Obviously, the longest one goes into the cylinder farthest away from the distributor and the shortest one belongs to the cylinder right next to the distributor.
edit: and while you're at it, change your PCV valve if you haven't in awhile and suck some seafoam into that puppy unless you've cleaned out the intake manifold in the past 30k miles. That's my every 30k maintenance ritual
And welcome to HAN!

If there's no check engine light and the engine runs fine and you get proper MPG, maybe there isn't a problem at all.
For reference: In the F23 (the 4 banger in the 98-02 Accord), the #1 cylinder ignition wire goes in the bottom left plug in the distributor and 2-3-4 go counterclockwise to it. I bet all Honda 4 cylinders with distributors are the same.
