Yeah...that makes sense but, for a new car that has not been
worked on I was thinking there was a plug loose or corroded that
cause the same condition when you pull on the wire.

Trouble is you can't see anything cause the eng compartment and
underside is closed in so I was wondering if a Honda tech or
someone with this experience could shed some light on this...

Thanks!
