Additional fixes for coilpack misfires worked

After the coilpack recall, mine still misfired sporadically. Honda told dealer to put new injectors in, and adjust valves. Got it back and runs smooth as silk. Not a hint of misfire, and mpg went up by 2.

Hasn't been long enough to know if the fix will continue to work, but right now I am happy with it. Honda told them to do both. Would be nice to know which one worked.

Was this a misfire while at speed or a stumble on take off?

If you need a valve adjustment can that cause a cel and cylinder misfire?
