Check engine light is on. I have had the engine diagnostic test and the codes are 1 2 4 5 misfire or malfunction and the HONDA dealer so called shop cant find nothin wrong 5 times now. When you start the car occasionally it stalls boggs and rough idle then after reving rpms to get it to run its fine. Could this be injector or coil pack or the ECM or what else could it be?

Misfires can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.

The plugs are two days old. There are no vac leaks and to my suspision would you have any reason to believe the coil pack or packs or fuel pump or map sensor or bad injecter?

Find the EGR and open it up an investigate-you got 4 cylinders are misfiring-I suggest that a compression check be made and the injectors.

Also get the fuel pressure checked out
