Hi all, thank you all for your feedback, it is greatly appreciated. Next step then is the easy start, if the car will run on easy start then it shows the timing is right and the issue is the injectors not opening. I have been very reluctant to use it until now. I need to know what pressure the...

Hi Matt, So I removed the fuel solenoid again and place a small flat head screw driver in the end, when the ignition is on and for the 23 seconds its vibrates / hums for you can push the screw driver in and out approx 2 or 3mm but as soon as the 23 seconds passes the solenoid stops closed. I...

Ok got the solenoid off, its held on by three torq bolts behind the fuel pump. I used the post Jon_G put up regarding solenoid removal. So once removed you can see into the four holes that the solenoid is closed (silver piston). If you connect it back up but leave the solenoid removed from the...

Ok, so completed test and there is no flow from the fuel rail, the pressure release valve past the test. So this leads me to the fuel pump and fuel pump solenoid. Next check is to remove the solenoid and see what the position is.

Hi Japy, when I put the key in the immobilizer key light on the dash comes on for a few seconds and then goes out. That says to me the immobilizer on the car is deactivating? I have tried starting the car with both keys, and neither get it going. My thoughts on the problem are now completely...

Hi Guys, First off sorry for the lack of response on this post, I left the car sat on drive way last weekend as I was away, I have started to try and work on it again today. Since my last post I have got a copy of Torque (Lite) OBD Check to connect to a bluetooth OBD Dongle connected to the...

Hi Matt, I think the mountain of fault codes I had originally was due to me having 10 of sensors on the top of the engine unplugged whilst turning the engine over on the starter motor. To unable me to fit the oil pump chain I had to remove the actual oil pump which completely drained the oil...

Hi Matt, Thanks for your reply! I have not tried bleeding the fuel filter and I have not checked the see if the EGR Valve is stuck, but both points make sense and I will investigate next! The car is totally standard and is mechanically unmodified, the only mod I have done to the car is fit the...

Hi Guys, I am having issues with getting my 7th Gen I-CTDi Accord to start post a timing chain / oil pump chain change. So basically the car has been off the road since August after the oil pump chain snapped on me at just over 113,240 miles. I had been on Holiday and the car had been sat on...

Hi Alex, thank you for your reply, I will have a look under the car on a ramp and see which shaft has play. I can get access to one quite easily thankfully! I have a Clarke mains impact gun as well as a impact wrench that runs off my compressor so getting the hub nuts off should not be a drama...

Hi Fahad, thanks for your reply! Is there an easy way to determine which driveshaft is at fault? Or is it a case of replacing the both of them? Also do you have an recommendations of the best places to get hold of Accord drive shafts from?

*I am not a virgin to working on cars! Perhaps one to proof reading before posting!

Hi All, first time post and sadly it's one trying to find advice on a problem with my daily runner! I have a 2004 Accord CDTi which has developed a judder / vibration under acceleration. So bit of back history, the car has a full service history, however as it had gone over the 100k mark I...
