CEL EK!
hey everyone, i just got a cel last night on the car 
. i took it to autozone to get it checked and it threw up a p0102 and some other code. The guy said it was also a missfire on 1 & 3... there is another code but he said it was a dealers code 
. All i know is missfire is BAD! 
The guy at autozone told me i should get a full tune up and it will fix the problem, what do you guys think i should do? Would taking it to honda be better? honda would cost me an arm and a leg 
lol.
Plus i have 63k on the car. My mods are AEM v2 intake, 5zigen full catback exhaust, berks test pipe. cusco catch can, and apxi grounding kit. Thats the mods i have for performace.
I hope someone here should help me point to the right direction, i dont need to get my
and not able to drive MY00.

hmm the car runs ok with all these codes?
I would go to honda get the coils and the plugs and throw them in and see if that fixes your problem. For now, pull your plugs and examine them to make sure you dont have a worse underlying problem

well here it went, wed morning i took it to honda and told them i have a CEL on and i like to get it check out and fix. well of course they called me back and told me i have a misfire in 1 & 3.... like i told them from the start. Also they said the map sensor is bad. WTF, I dont see why it would go bad. so hey they are honda and all i want is my car to be fixed. so i give them the ok to fix... $341 out of my pocket.
well back next day(thur) to honda and paid the amout i owe. well they change out for a new map sensor, injector cleaner, and clear out my cel light. well they pretty much didnt do anything. i took my car back drove out of honda and gone up the road to see if my car would misfire again. I shift around 6k and yup pretty sure it misfire again. Turn around back to honda and told them it was misfireing again.
The person who help me with my car ( guy i talk to) ask me what was the doing, so i told him there was a popping and where i shifted my car at. Then out of the blue some guy pop his head (hat man) out in the next room/slot office and told me were was i shifting again. from there i got so pissed off at honda.. OMG i would never go there again. well here the canvo....

its a misfire at idle usually. do a search for misfire and you will find that the injectors are probably dirty. but start with a new air filter or if you have aftermarket, recharge your filter. also clean the throttle body and stop by the dealer for a new MAP sensor...50 bucks
