Yeah although 89 solves your problem for now, the engine should usually only need 87 to run correctly so I would get the motor checked out. Is your timing advanced? Get a valve adjustment if you are at one of the tune up intervals also. :thumbup:

the latest odysseys use 91 also, unless you want a tad less power.
I think the AV6 (at least the 6th gen) can get away with 87, but I :dunno: what my dad uses for it.
