Thanks.
I just recently picked up the VAN, which had a bad tranny, which i rebuilt, and am now driving on a regular basis. The only brake work done to my knowledge, is the set of front 7 rear shoes i just put on, in an attempt to stop the squeal.
I should have watched this video earlier, as i just checked the rotors/drums for wear groves, and not gloss.
OK, issue is fixed….
Once I cleared the codes, the engine would not stall after 2 mins and would rev up over 4k easily. I read somewhere about Honda’s going into this ‘limp’ mode if the ECU detected this type of code, so thought what the heck, clear the codes to prove it.
So how come I got the code in the 1st place? Well it turned out that prior work done to locate a knocking noise, resulted in a poor attempt to adjust the valves to eliminate that possible noise from being the culprit. In check I g the valve gap, #3 was wayyyy to tight on both intake and exhaust. 1st attempt at doing my own adjustment, resulted in a nice idle but noisy valve train. As Eric mentions in his video, its an acquired skill. 2nd attempt and everything is perfect….now to take on a little longer trip that 2miles
Now for the timing belt which I can hear slapping the timing cover, but that’s for another day(:/

I have the same issue just this week and it runs for 1-2 min’s then abrubtly stops. Coughs a bit to get it strated with gas pedal down most of the way and have to keep the RPM above 1.2K to stay running UNLESS I feather the pedel off slowly.
It would then idle, somewhat smothly. If I shift into gear, it will stall unless I hold then brake, rev it up, then shift.
I had the valves aligned just recently and it also started to throw code #3 misfire. I also noticed that when the code was on, I tried to rev above 3K and it would rev limit back down to 2.5K, then cycle upto 3K then back down..
