I bought a p 500 new 2018 got 3miles on it, took it down the street to check the rear view mirrors I installed. First time I have driven it. Very noisy, anyway, in manual or automatic mode and 5th gear only get 14 MPH. Engine runs real crappy, and can’t get any RPM. Sounds like a plugged fuel filter. Don’t know the rpm, no tach. With electronic fuel injection should I get a code? Or not. Any ideas ?

Wow. I should have figured that out. Honda is very safety minded. I should have read the manual. . Thank you. This is a great forum.

Don’t feel alone it happened to me too last year. I too got the fix from the forum. Great resource.

Yeah don't feel bad for sure. I've known the issue and the workaround for a year and still haven't done it.
I forget about it until I'm doing the 14mph head bob once again and it goes back on the to do list lol. I should go fix it now

Heck, I didn't know there are two latch stops in the door latch. Found out be accident, then I looked it up in the owners manual. Yup!
