Done another 50 odd miles today - no big problems so far, a little glitchy on throttle pick up at low revs occaisonally, but fine considering someone said low down power isnt a strong point on this engine - Im just used to more on the audis. Hondas generally seem to be a peaky type of engine...

Ezhik - thankyou thankyou :) Ive got some news... Removing those evr pipes seems to have beem another red herring made no difference. On or off in isolation from doing anything else. There was only one other thing I did today which was to dis ***emble the egr and clean it with wd40. The car...

Sorry it was the LEFT hand pipe (as you look at the EVR valve from the radiator end of the engine bay). EVR is the solenoid at the back/top of the engine on the pre facelift.

I thought Dan & I were just having a bit of fun until Admin stepped in with the heavy hand... Ho hum... Anyhoo... to get back to the topic in question, yes I think this is an important issue for Accord owners!!! The latest is that I disassembled the egr VAVLE but it was just a bit sooty...

Admin... So ad long as I get the first obnoxious comment in then thats ok... Great!

Not sure about u thinkin harder tho... That could b dangerous ;)

Should work.. Will disperse the h2o making the alcohol content stronger so yes go for it

Yes see you do understand! Lol must be that time of night

Dan - have another drink or something... Might make more sense then

Another update guys! Hope might help someone else with similar probs someday, as Ive found trying to find answers on here a bit hidden in amoungst the other posts. Eg whilst reading that very log juddering post decided to look at the evr filter again I was on about. On the pre facelift its...

thanks for quick reply - Theres no lights on, and the only code read was EGR restricted flow. The low power means completely flat from 1300 to 2200. (If you lift off the throttle slightly it actually increases power from about 80% down to only 70% down! - ie slightly improved for a few seconds)...

No idea how many miles on Bosch filter but it was rusty around the top so I'd guess 50 000 miles as thats what its done over the last couple of years at least

Update guys - Fitted the Frequency Solenoid and it made no difference! strange why it made a difference when disconnected (although after a while car was back to its low power mode). Got a filter while at Honda but again no difference once fitted. So back to square one Im afraid despite...

The front - frequency solenoid - £115 and no wont be changing the fuel filter. As I suspected, nothing to do with the fault. Thw WD made no difference to the running of the car afterwards, but anyway Ive still got my FRAM filter if necessary - ohh I can just see you all falling off your...

Disconnected the Frequency Solenoid and low and behold problem solved - runs perfect ( with EML on)... ho hum...

Havent had time to read all of this sticky - 1 - but sounds like this is exactly the problem!!! when I was in the Honda dealer today asking about it they said theyd has to do a few ECV aswell (the one at the back). I'm away to disconnect mine now and see...

Guys - Ive decided im gonna take some drastic action. Seems this little nipper of a filter is the source of a lot of problems. Should be serviceable but Honda have decided in their capitalist wisdom to make it not so. I will dismantle mine (as it appears to make no difference whether it is on or...

Re my other thread noticed this one too. Mine is the pre facelift and the EVR does have a seperate little cylindrical filter. Ive tried cleaning mine with WD40, which did make a difference but the problems isnt sorted. Ive still got poor low down power as the valve isnt spooling the turbo at low...

& is there some way to test this without shelling out £130 (esp as Honda wont take back if it makes no difference. As mentioned EML not on anymore - Ta!

Missed a bit - "not spooling up" - " due to the evr valve defective???
