Welcome to the site! Congrats on the purchase. This is the site that can and will help you TREMENDOUSLY. Try here for tune up specs. A shop manual will help alot too. You can order one here through the site or you can go to a Schucks/Checker's/Autozone type store and pick one up.

you can find your distributor cap by tracing the ignition wires from one end (at the engine, they they attach in the middle of the top of the engine) and keep following down to the other end that looks like a black box about the size of your palm (on the left side of the engine while standing in front). once you pull the "cap" off (three phillips head screws), you will see a small plastic circular thing with a metal strip sticking out of it...this is your rotor button...to remove it just pull straight out. you will also need a pcv valve and an air filter (if dirty), also if you just got the car, I would change the engine oil and oil filter.

your best bet would be to get the shop manual. I have the oem manual that's like 2 inches thick and it tells you how to do literally everything to the car and has all the service intervals and tune up specs in it. I don't know much about the haynes manual but I've heard very good things about that too. That will tell you what you should do for a good tune-up and it will explain exactly how to do it. Good luck.

i have the original accord manual, does that work?

It might tell you maintinence intervals but it won't tell you much other than that. I'm talking about the shop manual. It will save you hundreds in mechanics bills by doing stuff yourself using that manual.

If you are talking about the owner's manual...NO...you need the "Service Manual" just do some check google, ebay, and any other sites that you can think of...I just did a quick search on ebay and this is what I found:
