Q: I have a 2003 Honda Odyssey with engine light flashing and my TCS light is on. I had the codes ran and it said misfired on Cylinde

asked by on March 27, 2018

I just had put in a rebuilt engine last year and since then I could not accelerate last. I have made sure that my fluids were changed. Now the engine light is flashing and TCS light is on with it. I had codes read cylinder 4, 2, 5, and 6. The van is idling hard and wants to die. What does this mean?

My car has 186840 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
