Damm check engine light!

I had a check engine light come on a few days ago. I did some search on this site, and concluded at that moment that it might have been misfiring in some of the cylinders. I brought it to my friend who is a mechanic and he diagnosed it and pulled 3 codes stating that the car was ok to drive, but had misfiring in cylinders 4,5,6. He recommended that I change the spark plugs, which i did yesterday. the back 3 are a B**** to replace, but it was done.

The car ran fine the rest of the day and I thought it was cool. but somehow just earlier the check engine light came back on. I dunno wut to do with the car. seems as if misfiring is so damm common with the car that honda should recall all of our engines and just give us a new one.

If any TL owners has any ideas on what to do now. please help. it'll be much appreciated. Thanks.

for one the miss fire isnt really that common. 2 it doesnt warrant a recall on the engine.
you may actually have a bad coilpack or 2 and not bad sparkplugs.
