2003 Honda Accord

I have a 2003 Honda accord that I took in not long ago for an oil change and a battery replacement. After this was done (about 2 days later) my engine light came on and I noticed that the car was running louder than normal. It also seemed to stall when I was stopped at a red light. I took it into my local auto shop and they ran a diagnostic test and got the code P02279 and after two hours of looking at the car told me they couldn't figure out what was wrong. I tried looking up this code but couldn't find what it corresponded to online. Do you have any ideas of what it could be? I just thought it was odd that this happened 2 days after I had my battery and oil changed and had nothing wrong with the car before that... Any help would be great.

Hi there,

This is not a valid code, i feel that you should get a factory scan done as many generic scanners don't pick up on all faults.
