I had write a big post earlier but hasn't seamed to have posted, anyways I tried everything I could think of the stripped the loom back and found a broken wire, fixed that and the car ran like a dream just a slight hesistations before 2000 rpm so I cleaned the egr again and its cured that to...

I disconnected which I think is the map sensor (bolted on to the elbow going into the intake manifold and it starts fine and revs fine but is in limp mode.

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I am reading about the *** vnt turbos, the actuator is controlled by a solenoid which has three pipes, vac in, vac out and atmospheric pressure(goes to the air box) . However the accord only have to pipes vac in and vac out thus suggesting that something...

I am going to make a video of the car it hasn't been started and you will see just how bad this is and why my thoughts are that it's what ever controls the vent will upload it after I find the will to get out of bed

No I actually hue no power before the turbo kicks in then when it kicks in I have normal power, I just did this as I had nothing else to do and thought I may aswell do it just for piece of mind

Now remove 2x10mm bolts securing the 2 coolant pipes to the turbo. Next loosen the 10mm nut on the shaft from the actuator, and unbolt the actuator from the turbo. Turn the wee threaded spindle on the lever going into the turbo and remove the shaft from the lever and set the actuator to the...

Sorry for the lack of photos I thought I took more than I acctual have. Anyways jack the car up and put on axel stands. Once you are sure everything is safe, remove the engine cover. From the top, behind your engine you'll see a small vacuum pipe going to a large circular actuator. Remove...

So today I was trying to get it started and removed the vac pipe going to the vnt accuator and hey presto it started fiest time and revs fine but when driving its like driving with no turbo, so I'm sure its what ever controls the valve which controls the vac for the vnt as soon as the pipe is...

I've ran live data on it and the egr something % is adusting it self up and down when revved up so I'm certain it's opening and closing, however the lowest percentage is 4% so maybe it is not closing correctly, I'm going more towards the fuelling end tho, it's the fact that the fuels draining...

The car would not start today so I had to prime and prime the pump, got it started and took it a drive went into limp mode and glow plug light flashing and gave the code p1237 I think this is something regrading the fuel pump? Also do these have a low pressure pump ? Mines is extremely low and...

I'm in northern ireland though, the car seams as if its misfiring when you accerlate then when it reaches 2000 rpm it revs normal, and there is no black smoke or eml lights coming on anymore

Would that cause it not to start and me having to use easy start to get it to start ? Also is their a good diy on this as If it is jammed I think I may have not cleaned it right the first time

Have owned my accord now for about 4 months its a 2.2 icdti 2004 anyways I did three years of a mechanics apprenticeship before moving away from the trade. So I know my way around a car reasonably well. So my car started to give out a lot of black smoke, cleaned the egr and all was fine then...
