Pinky, I wish you worked at my Honda dealership. It took them about $700 of diagnosis to decide to adjust my valves. Covered by short used car warranty? No. Covered by the extended warranty I purchased from Toyota? No. Me? Out over $800.

So after a valve job your "all better"? Or does it still missfire? Give it atleast a week of daily driving to see if it might be a coil. That will tell you 100% if they got it right.

Pinky, I can tell its all better. Idle smooth, runs quieter. I would guess that someone mis-adjusted the valves before I bought it.

S2000guy, I just bought the car with 50k on it. So I don't know. The engine light has been on from day one. Too bad my dealer screwed me.

No one has a comment about having a toyota contract on a Honda?

Not really..............extended warrantees come from 3rd party vendors most of the time. I bought one through Western from a Honda Dealership. No Honda Care at that place. Though having 50K and getting an extended warrantee is one hell of a deal to get. Just hope that if you ACTUALLY need it they will cover it.

Mine did when my Differential blew up on me. Sad it went.........Happy it was covered. That was like a $3K job. Well worth the 800+ I paid for the warrantee. Plus I also had an entire axel replaced. $500 plus installation. Ony had to pay like 100-200 for everything because of the deductables.
