You can verify a bent valve with a leakdown test.

 

ya thats what they are doing now.

 

Well, Honda sent out an engineer and 'fixed' the problem (again). This time they had the car for 4 days, replaced the ECM, harness, all coils & plugs, all injectors, and MAP sensor. If that doesn't do the job, THEN WHAT?!?!?

I hope this is the last time.
FYI; other than a bad diff, this is the only problem I have had with the car.

 

my car also experienced the boggy feeling and the car will not get out of its own way. i recently got a PLX wideband 02 and when this situation goes on the air/fuel readings are all F@#%ed up jumping to extremely lean and rich making the car very difficult to drive. i hit the map sensor and it didn't do jack. i reset my ECU and my car runs great. this has happened to me many times before but never reset the ECU, i would just put it away and the next day start it up and be fine this is very annoying when this happens and wish there is a permeant fix on this
