Check your coilpacks and plugs again.

Reset the ecu? Prob. would have been easier to switch the coilpacks, plugs, and injectors around instead of buying new ones first.

I had the same problem on my 07 with 36+K miles. I had a rough idle and the check engine light and VSA light would come on. I brought it to the local Honda dealer and got a misfire code on cylinder 3. They swapped coils and still got the misfire code on #3. The mechanic checked the valves and noticed that they were tight. He readjusted the valves and I haven't had any problems since. If all the other suggestions fail, you might want to check the valves as a last resort since it cost the most. Luckily for me, I got the extended warranty and it was covered. Why the VSA light came on is still a mystery. Good luck.

vsa comes on when the cel comes on. if the car isnt running right, vsa might not work 100% therefore its disabled and the light comes on.

1st i would check to see if you have spark at 1 and than like wineboy said. check your valves. iwasnt gonna suggest this yet. if your engine is running rough, reseting the ecu isnt gonna do shit
