Running a motor on different ecu settings and coming back with any kind of engine warranty issue is going to be essentially impossible not to lose.
The dealer would be in violation of the act if he popped the hood and saw your aftermarket alarm and said that voided your engine warranty. But if there is any sort of logical nexus to the problem, the dealer-Honda is well within their rights to void the relevant warranty provision.
Say you think the scored #4 cyl is Honda's fault and not your ecu modifications. Did Honda do a recall based on the problem? Is there a suit based on that problem?
If not, you and you attorney will have to create a fact pattern and convince the arbitrator (I think that is in all of the s2000 warranty contracts that we agreed to) that Honda is at fault and that it had nothing to do with your mod.
Now that you spent more on this fight with attorney fees and your wages than the repair would cost, you get a decision, but guess what? They split the baby and assign 20% or 40% of the fault to you. Now you are flat out hosed.
You think you will have a more compelling argument than a team of Honda attorneys and engineers? "On what basis did you choose table 3 value 14?, Where did you get your engineering degree? So you had a calibrated Horiba A-G analyzer?"
I see dealers ripping off people constantly. If you roll in with any kind of attitude and play attorney they will just ignore you and force you to put up. If you are right or wrong it absolutely does not matter one bit.
