My next step would be to swap or replace both spark plugs. If the same dead cylinder continued I would perform a compression check.

Was engine overrevved or did it ingest water?

You're on the right track. Fuel, spark & compression are what's needed to run. Like @HBarlow said, replace or swap spark plugs. If it still has the issue and compression comes back good I'd look at the injector harness, it's been a problem on some of the P1Ks, the club store has some repair harnesses available.

Swaped plugs too, bought used 129 mi, Dont know if previous owner over reved or injested water, Ran good for 300 mi, Then started acting funny, Drain tank found water in fuel, But that water came from me storing gas in freezing weather outside, Cured that issue, Hopefully can check compression shortly.
I am really think ing engine managment failure But not getting any codes. Dealer is looking @ 1 month backlog on repairs due to full shcedule.

Have you pulled the air filter & looked in the intake track? That might give a clue if it ingested something

Modern fuel injected and computer-controlled engines are much more powerful and efficient than old style carburetors and distributors but also much more complex, harder to troubleshoot at home, and more vulnerable.

Water in fuel doesn't usually but can cause damaged injectors.

I know it's hard to wait but I think your dealer is your best option. They have computer diagnostics as well as experience and product knowledge.

No Warranty , Thanks for welcome, Checking for bad connection on injector wiring harness, Making appointment at local Honda dealer.

That sucks. I didn’t buy a warranty with my used 2019 either. :confused:

It sounds like you are on the right track. Check compression when you get the adapter, and go over wiring very closely.

The other thing you can do is turn off all the lights, dark as possible, and have someone crank the machine to see if any wires are sparking or lightning up. It’s a long shot, but can lead you in the right direction.
