So far, everything under my hood is back to stock. I've even changed my aftermarket intake back to the stock one... If my rings are wearing out, should I try to use 10w 40? instead of the 30?
let me know how that fuel pump goes, When ever im at a stand still and tap lightly on the gas the idle comes back down fast almost stalling the car! how can you test for fuel pressure?
speck, when i first changed my fuel filter, the mechanic told me that the filter was not even dripping at all. Normally, when you take the fuel filter out, it should drip out... but in my case, it wasn't even dripping so he knew the filter was clogged. This can also be due to the fuel pump, not pumping the fuel effectively. As Lude Act also suggested, it can be the fuel pump also so I am gonna tackle that first. I've been pretty busy lately so I won't be able to take the car into Honda to change it. I will however, post the result afterwards.
Kaygnarly, I changed both my o2 sensor already with a new cat converter also.
I've asked my friend at Honda to perform a compression test on the engine. He said is not necessary because he doesn't feel anything wrong with the engine. He also said that my misfiring problem is not always constant as it takes about 80-150 miles before the misfiring occur after every reset. He said if there was a problem with the cylinder that is causing the misfiring, it should come back on soon after he resets it. Can anyone back him up on his theory?
My friends lude had the same issue a misfire b/c his piston bearing is fried. But what you can do is just reset the ECU by unplugging the 7.5 clock fuse in the hood. GL.

After you reset the ECU, the code will still come back eventually... that isn't really a fix?

That's not totally correct. I'm almost positive that for a random misfire code it is the kind of code that is only thrown after 2 runs of the vehicle that have a misfire. ( the engine has to completly warm up, misfire, be shut off, turned back on, warm up again, and misfire again for the code to come back) That's for a random misfire, which could be 1 out of every million revolutions is a miss. For an active misfire, the kind with a blinking CEL, and also the kind of miss that you will definately feel, what your buddy said is true. But for a random misfire, which most of the time you won't even feel, it has to be sensed on 2 runs of the vehicle for the code to be thrown.

Okay, I will have him check the compression and piston rings
