Do Honda ECU's have a "limp" mode?

From my V8 and rotary knowledge, I'd just say he's in limp mode. He shouldn't have burnt a valve already. I don't know Honda's worth a shit though.

it isn't possible to burn valves w/ open headers..the headers are long enough to give proper back pressure so that doesn't happen...if you ran the motor w/ no headers you definatly would burn your valves...

loose connection somewhere possibly, if it becomes intermittent (sp?) then I'd put my guess on that.
