Swap the coil from 1 into 2 and reset the codes. If it comes back on with a misfire in 1 then its your coil. Do the same thing for 3 and 4. Good luck.

I had the same problem a few weeks ago, it ended up being the coil packs so I bought 4 new ones from majestic honda website, 214 for all 4. My car would bog down when I would floor it and drive crappy and misfire under 3k rpm, but above 3k it drove normal.

Had this issue and it threw a CEL of the same codes

I did new plugs and a valve adjustment and the CEL went away. It still idles a little wonky now and then but it seems to have smoothed out.

Good luck!

Yeah do your valve adjustment and check the coils/plugs. I just had a misfire issue on mine and with the valve adjustment it went away.

That's not true at all

My friends car misfired. It was the valves all being too tight. Valve adjustment did it

I unplugged each injector at idle and the car stumbled regardless of which was pulled.

That's why I did the adjustment first and it went away

Just get the valve adjustment and let them take a look at everything else. I did that with mine when I had a misfire in cylinder #4 and it saved my engine from being destroyed. That's just a worse case scenario though. Good luck, but better to be safe rather than sorry.
