A mechanic needs to confirm whether intermittent misfire and dash light issues on a 2018 Honda CRV 1.5T are caused by a head gasket leak between cylinders 2 and 3, lacking experience with this engine pattern.

Workarounds Described

• lets car sit overnight to inspect spark plug holes for coolant staining with phone camera
• moved coils around to see if misfire pattern changes

Implied Software Gaps

• Image recognition tool that compares cylinder stain photos to known head gasket leak patterns
• Cold-start misfire analysis tool that correlates sensor data to cylinder-specific coolant ingress without manual interpretation
