Righty chaps, any clue to this problem..
Just need to be pointed in the right direction to this problem.
Had it for a little while but basically when accelerating from cold I will get the em light on and will go into limp mode. If I gradually accelerate it's fine... Can't remember the code it throws up but think it's "excessive boost pressure"
Or something along the lines of that.
Once the engine is up to temp, this dosent happen, I can accelerate hard without any issues.
Any ideas of pointing me in the right direction?
Cars 2.2ictdi with 148k on the clock..
I'm guessing something is sticking and once it's warm it no longer is sticking.
All suggestions welcome
Thanks in advance

Chris
 
has the Fuel filter been replaced and is it a genuine Honda one?
 
Yep, filter was replaced with a genuine one shortly after I purchased the car just under 2 years ago
 
2 years is a long time for a filter. I would change that first and eliminate the easy stuff first.. Could also be a sticking or slow operating egr valve
