for me its simples, if you do less than 10Kmiles...then go petrol. If you do more than 20k then go diesel. If you are between 10<>20k then its a much harder decision. The last petrol I bought was a new Lupo in 2001 so I've got more biased towards derv. All diesels have gotten less reliable...

The OP said its a 2004 so the EGR is not vacuum controlled. :)

possibly a loose or leaking injector. Take off your noise hood and look at the injectors. If any are coated in black tar-like crud then they are loose and need re-seating ( i.e removing and re-fitting with a fresh sealing washer ). You may find the ticking noise when idling an might subside...

I've Google'd those codes and it looks like your EGR valve is jammed open. Is suspect the P1236 code is a consequencial result of the open EGR and will go away when the EGR is fixed. You might be lucky and the EGR might just need cleaning. But if the valve actuator has failed then these valves...

If your ECU is still illuminated and your car will not rev above 2000rpm, then it is in limp mode and needs to be reset. I can clear faults from an application on my Andriod phone when connected by bluetooth to an OBDII adapter. I have never tried it, but I've heard in some cases its possible to...

...not doing owt til injector no.4 queried further. Just looking at financial options of used pumps/injectors on fleabay. Ironically b'cos pump/injectors are not well saught after ( due to top reliability ) , bargains can be found. It might work out cheaper just to get an injector & a pump and...

Just got back from Rochdale Honda ( was called Pennnie , now called Swansway ). They hooked it up to the HDS system and boost/EGR came up okay, but no4 injector was being frequently adjusted by the ECU , and the fuel rail pressure failed out of tol. I asked about the pressure regulator and they...

P2004 isn't a mechanical issue, its the Denso solenoid valve at the top of the engine. Simples...buy a new one. I've never had a P2004 pop-up code ever since I repelaced mine

I suffered from a squeaking whining noise on the nearside of my car. It turned out to be the wife LOL. Actually it did have a squeaky whining noise which turned out to be a dry bottom balljoint. So I got the full set of front upper/lower joints replaced all in one go...

Hi all, I finally called into the Rochdale dealership today just to ask what they'd charge to do a diagnostic on Sputnik. As it turned out they were quite helpful and I had a good 15 mins chat about its wonky idling/stalling and poor mpg. Anyhows, its booked in next weds for a 30mins diag on...

..interesting story NESH, the mpg certainly mirrors what I'm getting, and this ties in to the CJ post about injectors. Mines a 2004 pre-facelift So lets summarise from your perspective:- You were gettin mid 30's mpg, but what symptoms were you experiencing? smoking / starting / idling /...

This issue has dragged on very long its true :( http://www.civinfo.com/forum/honda-accord/56819-accord-ctdi-excess-smoking-poor-idle.html I've fitted a new IMRC valve which stopped the ecu light popping up...but that no noticeable effect otherwise. I've had the exhaust manifold sorted and...

Faddy , EGR is next on the list mate..., but to be fair, others including you did previously suggest MAF/MAP, hence why I needed to prove/disprove that theory. Next week I'll be cleaning and selling on the MAF/MAP to help fund the next step. Rather than just scrub it off the ecu map, I actually...

Preliminary feedback: i) fitted MAP sensor on Saturday, no noticeable difference, still smoking on minimal load. ( noticed the old one was really crudded up again despite a major strip & cleanout of the intake around April/May ) ii) fitted MAF yesterday, no noticeable difference, still smoking...

Will do Carl. I plan to first fit the MAP to see if I can notice a difference. Then I'll move on to the MAF. stay tuned..... :-)

Hi All, got the MAF in the post tonight but probably won't get chance to fit until Friday afters. Hope the MAP sensor would of arrived by then too. Can I please you ask for a sanity check here ?? Am I correct to ***ume the MAF and the MAP have got integral temperature sensors built in ? i.e...

39mpg round town does suggest its in reasonable shape, maybe the smoke is more down to blowing the cob-webs off it from all that urban running.

Also, tracked down and bought this MAP sensor for pennies :- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160666138898?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

....seller confirmed the Honda part no. matched mine ( 0 281 002 658 ) so I just bought it. Worse case if it has no effect on mine....I'll sell it on.

Hi all, would this be compatible with my Accord CN1 ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200678801121?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 It may well be the cylindrical body differs, but would the multiplug fit and the actual sensor portion be able to be unscrewed and swapped over ...
