    Hey guys, glad you got it fixed. Typically when those issues happen there are 6 things to check.

    1) Car Battery - Make sure voltage is up
    2) Ground - Make sure the grounding cable is good, you can check by turning on the defrost with the ignition on, see what happens to other accessories.
    3) ODBII Connector - These are starting to wear out in well used tuning vehicles. Loose connections cause bad flashes, Hondata has a thread on this somewhere.

    With the Cal:

    4) Accessories, like VSA, Secondary O2 etc, make sure are setup properly.
    5) ROM Base - Different years require different base ROMs, ie 06 different then 07+. It could also be an AFM/MAP issue, different base ROM's again.
    6) Bad Flash - Sometimes Flashes go bad, and then the ECU has trouble accepting a new flash as you found out. A total system reset followed by new flash seems to cure it, thanks Honda for engineering ECU recovery mode, better then a dual BIOS PC board

    Hope that helps,

    Steve

    Pulled the plugs today to double check the gap and you guys were right. I gapped them to ~.019 as best I could as Vit recommended .018-020. Unfortunately when I was putting things back together, one of my coil plug bolts decided to snap while I was tightening it, so now I have to get a tap to drill that out, and I won't be able to get a new bolt till Friday because I am going to the beech tomorrow. O well, there's always something....

    Glad you figured it out though! I would stay home from the beach to work on the car, but that's just me. You have to enjoy your life too! Just keep us updated

    Wasn't able to get any time into the car today. Plan on waking up early to replace the stud. Hope to have it finished before I go to work. I also plan to make some vids once the car is fully tuned!

    Car is fixed and back on the road! Just waiting on a few acorn nuts so I can put my intake manifold cover back on.
