Pat, as far as experienced mechanics at the dealership, I suspect many took early retirement during the pandemic.
The dealership I use (not a Honda) has lost shop personal. Pre-pandemic I could show up any morning, Monday-Saturday, and get my vehicle in. Now, even for an oil change, there is a seven or more days wait for an appointment and service dept. is no longer open on Saturdays.

Hi Eddo,
In answer to your question, it took 3 Hours to do the Diagnostic Computers. And another 3 Hours to replace the four Fuel Injectors.
Thanks for your detailed comment, it was very helpful to know.
Hi Eddo,
You mentioned…
“Couple things here:
With cleaning the spark plugs (who does that?) and checking fuel injectors, is the dealership thinking this is a misfire? I have seen a misfire cause all kinds of other lights to come on, as systems get disabled by the cars computer seeing an issue with the engine.”
I was going through the paperwork of my car’s work & it says here:
“A C/S That All The Warning Lights Are Coming On But The Car Does Start
M Tech Cleared Codes Had MisFire Code P0301”
What Does It Mean By MisFire ? _____.
None of my co-workers are near the age eligible to collect social security. During the last 2 1/2 years, 7 co-workers have quit, ages range from 20 to 55 years old. The median age of those who left is about 30 years of age.

I know two retired, can not say what happened to the other techs/mechanics, especially those that do oil&tires in as much as they are usually younger.

Tech cleared code. It did not return?

@PatSmith Simply: a p0301 misfire means that cylinder #1 is not working properly.
here is a link that gives some more info:

and I echo Cavell’s question: did the code return? Is the check engine light back on after the dealer tech cleared it?

No, the Code did not return. They the Honda Dealership had my car for 8 hours (!).
Thanks for the website; I found it informative.
Nope, the Code did not return. The Dealership had my car for 9 hours, so whatever they did, it must have been a lot.
