Have Autozone tell you what the code is (the number that the scan tool reads). I have a tough time believing what someone from AutoZone tells you.

Yeah get the actual codes. We can go from there. There are no wires on the CL. It's coil on plug. So there's an ignition coil on each spark plug. It is possible that 1 or more of them may have gone bad. But that is rare.

autozone said the codes were p0300 - p0306 which is the misfiring of all 6 spark plugs which i got last week as well i read from another thread posted about the similar problem and he had to do a valve adjustment, think that would work? or do i gotta replace the coils on plug another hting is my vtec actuator thingy makes a noise when i start my battery, think that could be the problem? or totally different?

I had the same problems as you, take all your spark plugs out, make sure all the connections are good, give them a good cleaning and you should be fine...

Check your antifreeze level

Same thing happened to me. I called the service dept of the Acura dealer and asked them to guess what it may be. They said if the anitfreeze goes low there is a valve that does not work.

I topped off the antifreeze. Filled the reserve tank. Disconnected and reconnected the batttery (that resets the computer) and the problem went away. Has been gone for 2 days. I was looking at this site and remembered your question.


Hope this helps.
