Default Check Engine and VTM light

Hey guys! I have an 04 Pilot 2wd. Throwing misfire cylinder 3,4,5,6 and VTM-4 light comes on randomly. These are per a code reader.

I ran seafoam through the brake boost line today and reset the battery. Gonna drive it over the next few days and see if the light come back.

Pilot has 140k on it. We are first owner and have changed the oil every 5k and had EVERY service done at the same Honda dealer. When I was working on it I did hear some lifter noise. Think it just needs a valve adjustment? Pilot runs great and I can not hear any misses.

Let me here your thoughts...

Thanks!

Check your spark plugs and coil packs, make sure they are not loose.

Sounds weird, but check anyways.

Put the codes into the search feature in this forum. These misfire codes seem quite common on hi mileage vehicles with cylinder deactivation.

Driven about 80 miles over two days and lots stop and go. No light, probably not long enough time but she's running great after sea foam and battery reset
