here's the story..

About a week ago i stop to get gas for my car.. i drove it to my girl's house.. after a few hours with my girl, i decided to go home. when i started the the car, the noticed that my check engine came on

.. i figured that it was the gas cap and drove home.. i tighten the gas cap when i got home.. so the next day the check engine light was off.. i thought everything was fine.. the next morning i started the car and the check engine light came back on.. For the next few days the check engine light would go on and off everytime i start my car..today i went to my friend's car shop. he did a scan and it read that i have 3 misfire.. i'm guessing it 3 out of the four cylinder... he told me that he reset it?

as of this momment i am stuck!! i dont know what to do!! my car only has 19,900 miles on it. i just dropped in a k&n air filter about 3 weeks ago.. could it be my spark plugs?? or is it something wrong the the cylinders??

take it to the dealer and get it warrantied.

That code means the #3 cylinder misfired. Did it come back after driving it around a little?

yeah with that few miles you're still under manufacturers warranty. Take it to the dealer.

On '00, '01, and some '02s, Honda released a TSB about the original plugs that would loosen, causing a misfire. Honda dealers should do this work free of charge. Check it out here: Spark Plug TSB

manufacturers warranty goes until 30K, I believe.

36K Bumper to Bumper 60k Drive Train ?

I dont think it's 60K drivetrain... I think it's only 30K. I say this, cause if it were 60K the dealer would have done that clutch buzz TSB for me free of charge... instead they wanted to get paid for it. I bought mine with 38K... only got 43K on it now... but I'm pretty sure I'm out of warranty... I'll call Honda today and check.
