2010 Accord V6 EX-L Massive Misfire issues
The wife drove off with the Accord this morning and had returned within 15 minutes. She drove about 2 miles, stopped the car and within 10 minutes started the car, only this time it was mis-firing and struggling to move. There was a CEL (VSA warning also came on as a result of the misfiring)
It dies on her a couple times as she got it back to the house, where I had Honda roadside assistance come in and get it as she drove off with my Mustang Bullitt GT and left me with my pickup. The car has 9000 miles on it and was purchased brand new in 4/2010. The dealer called to tell me that they changed the spark plugs and that it didnt help, then they tried a computer update which did not help either. It has started then ran smooth and then fell apart again.
Anything like that ever pop-up around here? Dealer still testing and I want my Mustang back.

Honda issued a technical service bulletin regarding that. The usual fix was to replace the spark plugs and update the PCM software. Since that didn't fix it, the dealer will have to continue with normal troubleshooting, which may include trying a different PCM.
