Dave G: Question: Are you running a valve lube system on your LPG conversion to prevent the valves receding in to the head? Answer: There was a valve lube system on there but there was still fluid in the bottle during the year I had the car so I didn't replace it. I haven't had this on my...

YAY!!! I got it fixed. After ages trying not to take it into the Dealers because I thought they'd throw the book at the car, costing me bundles, I eventually relented and took it in. They adjusted the valve clearances on the tappets and hey presto, it sorted the problem. And they only charged...

Have just had a call from the Honda specialists (!) who say the fuel filter doesn't need replacing, it's a lifetime part. So, how comes the dealer says they'll replace it for £100??? I'll see if anyone else can do it, if not it'll have to go to the dealers. Not only does it cost more but it's...

Hi Dave G. It stalls when running cold, before the LPG kicks in. Also, I have ran it on petrol for a few days and again she will stall when cold. The lpg system is a BRG system. I'm trying to get it running right on petrol first as the problem occurs before the lpg is introduced. What do you...

Jonny5, thanks for that flashlube comment. I'll look into it. I took the Accord into the garage today which calls itself a Honda specialist but after doing things for 40 minutes, the manager came to tell me the fuel filter must be in the fuel tank because they can't find it anywhere. I tell him...

It's not a crappy car, just the fault got to me yesterday. Spoke to the dealer who said the fuel filters on these get 'waxy' and allow moisture into the fuel, hence clogging up and affecting performance. They quoted about £100 to fix. I have the car now booked into a local garage who's...

It's exasperating. The exclam and vsa lights turned out to be red herrings as the ECU was reset and those lights have gone out now. However, it still conks out in the mornings when cold. What is wrong with this crappy car??? I bought a Honda because it was supposed to be reliable. Argh. I've...

Fahad, Oops. Halifax. A bit far for me to come but I'll look into what you suggested. Thank you.

I have run the car on petrol for a few days and it still cuts out when cold so I don't think it's an lpg related fault. The plugs, air filter and coil pack have all been checked and they're fine. Would the VSA issue be related to the rough running and poor idle or do you think they're unrelated...

I know now that it's not the EGR valve because my car doesn't have an EGR valve (2004, 2.4, petrol, saloon). My engine still stalls in the morning and I still have the ! and VSA lights on and I have the 84-1 code coming up. Are the lights on the dash and error code related to the poor idle...

Well, this problem is still ongoing. I managed to get the abs light off by replacing the abs speed sensor but the car still has the small exclam and vsa lights on and still stalls in the morning. Checking the codes it says it's an 84-1 fault. Sensor logic failure. I read in lots of places...

My VSA light's been on for ages and the Accord stalls in the morning and runs rough when warm. Again, symptoms are the EGR valve. I'm going to have it checked on the weekend but has anyone else found the EGR valve to be at fault for the VSA light to be on?

I've had an issue with a rough idle on my Accord for a few weeks now. Every garage I've taken it to just plugs it into a computer to read the codes, which aren't coming up with anything helpful. I'd like to take it to someone who can actually look at the engine and ***ess the MAF sensor, idle...

Hi all, Thank you for the advice. The milesage is 140k and the LPG conversion was done a few years ago. The problem still occurs if the LPG is on or off so I don't think it's LPG related. Well, the LPG probably takes the revs down another 100rpm but if the revs were 750-800, that wouldn't...

2004 2.4 Accord, manual with LPG. The car drives lovely when going but when pulling up to lights or a T junction, the revs drop and the engine cuts out so it's a case of riding the clutch and keeping the engine going whilst I stab the brakes or use the handbrake. So far, I've paid 4 garages to...
