Our car had a burnt valve last year at about 90000 miles. We brought it to a Napa machine shop and had it re-machined. About a month ago we had it repaired at our local Honda dealer. They readjusted the valves which they said were way too tight. The car is stalling again and is difficult to restart. They referenced Honda technical bulletin 03-038. In researching this via google, it appears Honda failed to advise american-but not european-customers of a valve adjustment need that results in valves receding into the cylinder heads.

Car starts without key when remote lock is used after driving. Does not have keyless start. Sometimes the headlights turn on also other times its just the engine. You have to put the key in the ignition and shift the gear to turn off. This has happened at least 10 times over the years. I took it to a Honda dealer and they told me it was impossible, could not happen and I was mistaken. I do have a video of one incident.
