Pop a paper clip in the service connector in the passenger foot well and pull the code by seeing how many times the EML light flashes, then report back B)

Straighten a paperclip and then bend it into a u shape.
There will be a 2 pin service connector under the dash somewhere , it is blue on my 2002, not sure about the 7th gen or where it is in the car.
Shove the paperclip in the the two pins, turn on your ignition and the eml will flash long and short flashes. Ie three long flashes followed by six short flashes will be fault code 36. Someone will hopefully have a list of codes and tell you potentially what the fault could be.

Dude your car is a 7th gen. This is posted in the wrong section. Do yourself a favour and do not put a paper clip anywhere near your car as its not a 6th gen. Then go and change your fuel filter because it has probably not been done for donkeys (must be genuine Honda) then thank me later.
Failing that get the code read and post it in the 7th gen section and we can help you further.

Fuel filter would be a good start, make sure it a genuine Honda part these engines are very fussy indeed. Neil's advice should be good to follow

Hi
The egr valve is becoming common now. Unfortunately they can only be cleaned to a certain degree and will probably need changing. Again not cheap if it is egr valve. However Fahad on the site offers a remap service which can by pass the egr valve. Have a look in the premier tuning section and contact Fahad, he will be able to discuss this further. It's alot cheaper using fahads option.

Cant afford to get it fixed at the moment will it do any damage to the car if i waited till i could afford it?
If it was me I wouldent drive the car.
If the car is going into limp mode it is protecting itself from serias damage.
Driving the car like this will only add to the problem.
As Shabz said look at the DIY and clean it 1st as this might cure your problem.

Would be helpful if you could give us the code as to say it is the EGR valve is a bit of a blanket statement to be honest.
Do you have a service history for the car and as such when was the air filter last changed ?
