Have a 2017 accord, took my car in at 63k for transmission fluid change. Two weeks later I started getting occasional misfire at a light. Went back and they recommended cleaning throttle body. Issue still remained so changed the throttle body and spark splugs. Issue got better but every now and then it still happens. Not getting any codes so dont want to throw more parts unless I’m 100% sure. One mechanic said it could be a bad motor mount because the rpms decrease when AC is on low and I get slight rough vibration when approaching a light and compressor clutch engages. Can’t help but feel something was done at the dealership the first time because then the second time they wanted to sell me an extended warranty. Any ideas on what it could be?
