I didn't see anything posted yet about this issue. Just wanted to share my troubles. Recently my car needed service, as I was driving I went to punch it in 3rd and didn't even get into the 4000 rpm range and my car started to stall. I was able to nurse it to a shoulder on a busy road and couldn't get the car started until a couple cranks and pumping the gas. The car would barely start and sounded like I had a boxer engine. I had it towed to the nearest dealership and in there findings, a "plunger" slipped during Vtec engagement and held my valve open on the number 4 cylinder. Supposedly it didn't do any damage and they're working to replace the plunger. They originally were expecting a bent valve and a nick in the piston. No machining is required and they're saying they are just going to replace this "plunger". Anyone heard of this or anything sound suspicious?
