Experienced loss of power and rough operation coming off load after running on highway - limped to O'Reilly's with family aboard and scanned codes but able to restart and complete trip. Later pulled mis-firing plug and found covered with oil. Replaced single ignition coil, all plugs and installed 'muzzler' to deactivate cylinder deactivation. No more Eco-Mode, but not getting blow-by when cylinders aren't firing anymore - recommend to all Odyssey owners.
