A common problem with Honda cars is the fuel pump relay under the dash. You might try replacing that first.Otherwise you will need to wait until it will not start to proceed.It could be a long list of electrical components.

The ABS light can be on for different reason.
sometimes a bad speed sensor on one of the wheels can trigger the ABS light.
The ABS module, or the entire braking sytem may be faulty, to find out there is need to test the ECU/ABS modules usinga code reader, and to inspect the braking system.

No it would not be the speed sensor, you would have other problems. I suggest you just have a tech that is failing.

If the vehicle speed sensor was the cause you would have a check engine light and the transmission would have sifting issues into overdrive, I would think you just have a failing tachometer stepper motor (tiny DC motor) that drives the needle..

Only way to check out the problem for sure is to drop the gearbox out and examine the clutch. Having gone this far in to the internal workings.

Yes fix the leak but a faulty Knock sensor will trip a miss fire code. Yes get rid of those iridium plugs and see if that works first because iridium is a higher burn temp. and more temp doesn't mean more power! There is a specific code for a knock sensor but many things can cause the same result. After my friend replaced his motor in his prelude he had the same problem with multiple miss fires and other codes but he changed his knock sensor and cleared it right up!Parts For Porsche Cayenne
