Random codes out of nowhere
So I was driving today to work when I stopped for gas (7 eleven gas station) and after I fill up few miles down my CEL came on (I use 93)... after work I stopped at advance auto to get the codes scanned... there was 25 codes... WTF!!!... multiple showed up more than once.. but they seem to all be spark plug related
The car drives perfectly normal, no stuttering or anything... ive gotten a CEL once and it went away, however this one came up today and sometimes flashes... didn't like that lol...

I'm sure this is unnecessary advice, but check your plugs. The 3G TL has a history of spitting out one of the plugs (5 maybe I can't remember,) so make sure they are all tightened up. I wonder if having a loose plug would trip a code?

In my 6th gen Accord, I used to have weird codes too and it had to do with a faulty alternator. Weird electrical spikes = electronics having no clue how to react. Check your grounds and have your battery/alternator checked?

It's possible that some of those are old codes that were never cleared and some of them are new codes.
I'm pretty sure the over rev is totally legitimate and it's likely the previous owner did it. You may or may not be sitting on a time bomb... which because of a previous over rev threw some mis-fire codes again today.

I agree, a faulty CPS could cause all of those codes, but with a 6MT my bet is: over rev...
AFAIK, CPS failure on the 3G is extremely rare... I don't remember reading about any CPS failures on this forum (yes, maybe a few ruined by DIYers, but no spontaneous failures IIRC).
