Bad o2 sensor maybe?

Is the car completely stock? Have you done any mods to it recently (last 6 months)?

Its getting colder outside , for some of you, I don't know about everyone else but the first thing I would do before the map whack or anythng else is disconnect your ground from the battery for about 10 minutes and reset the ECU so that it can relearn the colder conditions. Then go ahead and start your diagnosis after that if it has no effect.

I will update after back from dealer.
I was receiving cel P0301,P0304,P0300. I pulled Bosch plugs and saw
#1 not good, #4 little better, #2 and #3 normal color. I put original NGK
back in, torqued correctly.
Now no CEL (cooincidence I believe after clearing codes), but stalled at
lights, cannot idle after warming up.
Brought to dealer, and bad #1 and #4 exhaust valves (told over phone), awaiting Honda Care approval to proceed.

As far as I know (I am aware of the TSB) the MAP sensor has never been updated. The TSB has you replace the MAP with a new one and secure it with the zip-tie. However I do not believe the MAP sensor was ever superseded by new part.
