Hi guys, latest in the saga of my accord - 2.2 2004 pre facelift 190,000 miles now - My local dealer told me that it was the FSV then the high pressure fuel pump. Changed both of these to no avail. They also did an ECU update - still no better. They have spoken with Honda UK technical and...

Thanks Carl. when the dealer tested everything on Tuesday, no other codes came up and he said that the FSV appeared to be working fine. When the engine is hot, the swirl valve is being held fully open by the vacuum and the engine souns like it's running on 3 cylinders and still does so until...

Thanks both for suggestions. Did not get to read them until just now - having boght a pump from a breaker on Ebay. Said it came off a 63,000 car so I bought it. It arrived this morning and feels tighter to turthan mine. Spent about 45 minutes replacing it and guess what - still hasn't cured the...

Hi Fahad, Fuel filter has been done by a previous Honda dealer in Stoke on Trent - although they did use a Bosch filter instead of a Honda one. Martin.

Hi Carl, Thanks for this. Have checked all of the vac lines and there does not appear to be any splits or leaks and vacuum at the swirl valve control seems ok. Mine is a prefacelift 2004 (54reg). I took it back to the local dealer today and they have diagnosed "low fuel rail pressure" - having...

Hi Jeremy, I have cleaned all of the sensors i can think of and still I have this problem. I am taking back to the local dealer on tuesday to see of they can shed any more light on this. I hope they can as I need the car to tow my caravan in a weeks time - last time i towed it was very...

do you mean open at low engine speeds ? Thanks Fahad Martin.

Hi Huskyman, Thanks for this - have tried this and still runs exactly the same - you put your foot on the throttle and up to about 1800rpm it is ok. Then it just sits at 2,000 rpm regardless of how far down you push the pedal. Lifting off and putting down again eventually gets you through and...

Hi Fahad, Further to my previous post, have had another look at thiings this morning. When starting from cold, the swirl valve is being moved by the vacuum so that the engine runs smoothly and when driving from cold, there is no hesitation. When up to temperature though, it seems like the swirl...

Hi fahad, Thanks for the swift reply. Fuel filter has been done. When all of the problems started, that's what the Honda dealer in Crewe said. i bought a 2nd hand EGR off a low mileage car which was said to be running fine before it was written off . I cleaned it before fitting but that made no...

Hi Everyone, just joined. The info on here is really useful. have had a problem with my accord which has been getting worse and no dealer has yet been able to diagnose. when accelerating, there is no response at all to pushing the pedal but if you lift off and the push it down again, sometimes...
