Hello from South Dakota. New to this forum. Forgive me if this is a discussion that has been had before.
About three months ago we purchased a 2011 Ody with 72k on it. A couple weeks ago the CEL and TCS lights came on. Engine was running smoothly as far as I could tell. Took it to the dealer, they change all 6 plugs as the codes suggested misfire in cylinders 5&6. About 5 days after that was complete same lights came on took it back to the dealer and they determined it was the fuel injector(s). The put some fuel injector cleaner in it to see if that would solve the problem. About 3 days after that the lights came back on. So now we are at a point where we need to spend a little money to solve the problem. The dealer quoted fuel injector replacement and valve adjustment at $1450. I called an independent repair shop I trust to get their take on it. This is without them looking at the vehicle, but they mentioned they might start with the valve adjustment first to see if that takes care of the issue. I plan on having them take a look at the vehicle tomorrow hopefully. But it brought up a question in my mind. Would the dealer be able to determine whether 100% it was the fuel injectors? If so, why the need for the valve adjustment? Does it make sense to do the valve adjustment first to see if that fixes the problem? Or does it makes sense to just do it all?
