- 2006 2.2 EX Tourer
Hi guys hoping you can help
I've just bought my 2006 2.2 i-cdti tourer about a month ago for 1k it's got 187k on the clock.
Had just passed MOT and I knew it needed a few bits doing and thats fine, it came with an economy remap.
All was well and good for a week then one day after picking up my wife from work it stalled while balancing the clutch at the top of a steep hill.
Restarted the car and a minute or so down the road it lost all power, best way I can describe it is like the accelerator was disconnected.
No lights on the dash and everything working except the revs slowly dying and the pedal has no effect.
Then every time I restarted the same thing would happen within a minute or so.
Next day I tried the car for 15 minutes around the estate and all seemed okay.
Drove for roughly half an hour later that day then the issue occurred again.
Same as before once it happened would happen again and again every time I restart within a minute or so.
A couple days later managed to get a mobile mechanic to come put a proper honda code reader on but couldn't find anything.
Couple days later I speak to a friend who's a mechanic and he suggests that we try changing the fuel filter.
Yes I got a Bosch
Wahey...!
Car felt much better, more responsive and seems to be working fine.
Did 3 30 minute drives that day with no issues.
Next day I had a 4 hour round trip with kids and wife in the car.
Was all good for 2 hours then started to play up again
Didn't feel safe getting back on the motorway especially the M25.
Had the AA out and he couldn't find a single code live or historic, he took it for a drive and still couldn't find anything out of parameters.
Only guess he could give is that the oil level seemed a bit too high.
Ended up parking it for a while since that seemed to help.
Had another mechanic there look at it and he couldn't find anything but did suggest maybe the in-tank fuel strainer might be getting blocked.
Managed to actually drive the whole 2 hours successfully.
Next day I stupidly tried to make the same journey again.
Didn't even make it half way but did survive.
Parked it for 3 hours hoping it would help like before but it didn't, going back it started happening again after only a few minutes.
Took me nearly 4 hours to make it back a 1 hour drive.
Stopping and starting.
Still no lights showing.
Only indication was the security system plain red light on the dash seemed to come on sometimes when I'm not sure it should but that's hard to say as was very stressed and not used to the car yet.
One time while stopped had the hazards on which randomly went double speed on and off.
I've been scared to drive it more than a few minutes since and was struggling to find a mechanic interested in doing the work.
Managed to get it in to a mechanic last week.
They found a few different issues and didn't think car was worth repairing cost wise but that's a whole other story.
But they couldn't replicate the specific issue I was having.
What do you think guys?
I need to get her back in the road so I can start earning some money doing deliveries.
Can you give me your best guess.
I know EGR can cause this kind of issue but I thought it would come up on the codes 
Could it be contamination in the tank / EGR / blocked fuel sender.
Something else maybe
