I figured I would try posting in here too. My usual forum...

Alright folks, any help/suggestions welcome. The code I'm getting on my GSR is only mysterious because it doesn't FEEL like I should be having a P0302 (#2 cylinder misfire), but that doesn't always mean anything. The car runs fine.

I got a new ECU from the Acura dealership because it was free (something to do with an extended warranty for emissions equipment), and because they couldn't initially figure out why this code was being thrown...so naturally they assumed "bad ECU." After installing the new unit (they had to install it...), there was no CEL for about a day, then it came back on. Then after a few days it went back off. Another couple days and it comes back on. Same code.

I called the dealership and told them the CEL was back on, and they said I would have to leave my car with them for a little while to get it figured out...rrrrright.

Naturally I'm in the period of the CEL being on when I need to get my yearly emissions done, so I'm kind of short on time with this problem. I was thinking it could be the dizzy...but rather than guess I wanted to see if anyone here has some insight.

I'm going to bed now (11PM-7AM shift at work), but hopefully this things will be chock full of useful info when I wake up. Thanks!
