Thanks for you advice I have a xhorse Hds diagnostic cable and have checked on hds software for dtc codes and have taken photos of the read out then cleared all codes but still problem persists with the car feeling very sluggish in power and acceleration especially uphills I'm thinking of taking off the cat to see if that helps I would appreciate if I can decat and remap stage 1 to bring life back to the car as I'm quite stuck thanks again for your advice in the forumNeeds a proper diagnostic session, could be faulty egr, injectors, turbo..
I am not sure with the exact engine mileage but should be under 100k as it was a new engine at the time and in regards to servicing I only service with genuine filters and good spec oil 0w30 I'm due to do a oil change air and oil filter but not due at the momentI would add dirty/diesel bloom to the list, and possibly the camchain may have slipped a tooth up top
What is the current mileage and when was the last service carried out ?

Yes due to turbo starvation I had a replacement engine from a 2009 civic with 1500miles on the engine I learnt my lesson the hard way and now care more for the engine and give regular oil changes, the car could have shorted out sensors which is causing the lack of performance I would like to diagnose and restore it back to how t it used to be and that's quickA replacement engine, do you know why the old one failed ?
Thanks again for your knowledge I appreciate all the advice given ,I hooked it up to Hds software and tested the fuel pressure rail and turbo boost pressure and the test came up as the turbo boost pressure is out of range I'm thinking maybe my turbo is dying as there's not much torque during drivingWhat more help do you need, I’ve already given you some pointers. Do the checks and see what it reveals.
suggest you also make a small metal blanking plate and fit it between the egr and intake manifold to see if that restores power. If it does, then you know your egr is at fault.
Thanks for your expertise I have removed the EGR and put a blanking plate in between the intake and EGR . Good news is that it has restored power , I drove the car around the block up hills and ghe power was back later on the engine management light came up after about 5 min of driving then restricted to 2000rpm . Is it possible to clear the engine management light permanently many thanks againWhat more help do you need, I’ve already given you some pointers. Do the checks and see what it reveals.

How do I contact you F6HAD kind regardsYes it needs a remap to permanently close the egr, I can tune it at the same time. It’s pretty standard work for us. Drop me a line for pricing.
