asplode is a funny way to say explode. Like "your head asplode."
Nevermind.
I did have it scanned. Pulled all the misfire codes. p301 etc.
Changed my spark plugs, map wack, injector cleaner. I was trying to steer clear of coil packs or injectors because what are the odds of all of them going bad at once?
Getting a valve adjustment in a few weeks when I have money. All I'm saying is when the engine light is flashing, in some cases, you don't have to tow the car immediately to Honda. The car will still drive and perform fine. =D

RTFM.
The manual says something along the lines of "if your check engine light is flashing then there is a severe problem and the likelihood of catastrophic engine failure is high."
If you want to drive it till a rod shoots out the side of the block, then that's your prerogative. Just like it's our prerogative to think that you're an idiot for doing it... and posting about it.

OK, so my quote was off... but doesn't it amount to the same result? If you're misfiring bad enough to damage the cat, I think that probably mean that you're misfiring bad enough to damage other engine components... therefore you risk catastrophic engine failure.
Either way, it's still my prerogative to think he's an idiot for continuing to drive like that while thinking that it's OK.
