it is possible it is an injector issue....after doing more research i'm staring to see this is a semi-common honda problem ( at least in the codes you threw). i would look at trying to have the injectors reconditioned....or perhaps just buying aftermarket.

not that i know off hand.....since this happened to my fiance i had my buddy who runs a local valvoline shop run what he called a power flush of the injectors and fuel system.....again i have had no rpoblems since

i would check the internet for local places....i think rc engineering may do it but you have to send out your injectors to them

Well... as I had expected, the ECM replacement did not solve the problem. The dealership is going to inspect each of the injectors and let me know if they can be reconditioned or if they must be replaced.

I am a bit frustrated that it took this long to get to this point (just over 2 weeks), but hopefully this will solve the misfire problem.

If I do need to get the injectors replaced, would it be worth it to go aftermarket? Or are OEM good enough for an NA engine?

OEM is good enough for the NA engine, and even FI at low boost.

Stay with the OEM injectors, because they probably receive much more testing at the factory than aftermarket ones.

See if they can apply the $400 credit towards the injectors.

Thanks for the info.

Thankfully they are applying the $400 credit to the injectors.

Well.... they did a test on the injectors and determined that they were working just fine. They then determined that the car had been over-revved (before I purchased the car) and needed a cylinder head replacement.

The good news is that they will be doing the repairs on their dime. They admitted that the car was in this condition when I purchased and will do the repair for free as a gesture of goodwill.

Needless to say I am happy about the free repair

Now let's just hope this ends this misfire saga.

That is good news. It's about time dealers started being more honest about what they are selling.

Maybe it's the start of a trend.



Or maybe I'm a dreamer.
