Hi Guys, this is my first post on this site but I have used it many times in the past; the community here has been great.
My issue: on a trip this past weekend I got a cylinder misfire code on my 2010 MDX (for cylinder #2, as well as codes to check emissions, stability assist, and the AWD system). I took it to the local dealer here, and they tried to diagnose the issue. Here's what happened:
1) Checked/replaced the fuel injector for cylinder #2 - not the issue
2) Ran a compression test on cylinder #2, showed low reading
3) Checked the valves; all looked fine there
They said the next step was to replace the engine. They found one with 95k miles (that they also recommended would need the timing belt / water pump done while they are doing the engine), and it would cost me $8700, plus the ~$900 or so it took doing the fuel injector and valve work.
Does anyone have any recommendations as to what to do next? 9k is an awful lot of money and I get the sense that they just couldn't find the issue. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance!
