The light is coming on and I looked it up in the manual and it referred to it as malfunction indicator lamp but it looks more like a check engine light or something....said the emissions are messed up...anyways I'm wondering if someone could help me out as to what my problem is and how to fix it?

You'll have to see what type of codes it's throwing in order to figure out what's wrong with your car. You can go to a local AutoZone and have them check it for you for free, or you can do it yourself http://www.hondaprelude.to/articles/maintenance/check_engine.html

mil/cel is the same.... but you gotta get the code, there are tons of them, so you gotta find what your car is giving

I went to Autozone and he told me it was my O2 sensor like 2000BB6 said...looked up the part and said it would be $235 for a Bosh one and $110 for a Denso one :-(

Go to sparkplugs.com and they're only $40 on there. They're the Denso OE identical type...

Never take the advice of the guys' at AutoZone... I used to work there, and almost nobody in that company knows how to accurately translate those codes. Take my advice and get a second opinion. What exactly did the code description say when they put their piece-of-crap diagnostic tool up to it?

lol he didnt really let me look at it..said like P108 or something like that

Went to the Honda dealership to get my front O2 sensor, and front brakes replaced...costed $566...$300 for parts and $225 for labor then rest in taxes
