check your veh. speed sensor. sounds like the culpret. your ecu judges alot off of veh. speed. if your sensor is f*cked up then its going to send everything else out of whack. check ebay for cheap but autozone would be quicker and more convenient

there is a honda bulletin for that, under the intake manifold the engine wire harness chaffes on the IM and shorts out. just pull the harness out a little and fix any bare wires, or bring it to your dealer, its an easy fix for then.

check it out, im pretty sure thats the problem.

good luck
