| Description of the problem | Driving car on slight uphill grade a a misfire occurred causing a flashing check engine light. Throttle control was defeated by design and the car came to a stop in a lane with no shoulder and semi trucks behind me. Was able to cycle key a few times and throttle control was restored until car misfired again and same thing happened again. Talked to local honda service department and was told that what happened is by design, to protect the catalytic converter in the event of a misfire.. This is a dangerous design flaw. There are other ways to protect the catalytic converter and still leave the car running with at least partial power. Many manufacturers simply cut fuel delivery to the cylinder that is misfiring, leaving you less power but still safe to drive.. This problem is a simple fix for honda with a reflash. This dangerous situation was created by a simple spark plug issue on one cylinder. |
