Hi.
Was wondering if anyone may be able to help with an annoying problem with my Honda.
Have also posted on a RAC website but had no replies.
Here goes.......
For about 4 months now,I have noticed,that whilst "cruising"(e.g.having reached 30mph and lifted foot off accelerator slightly,there is a sort of "juddering/hesitation" as though there is a lack of fuel.
As soon as I press the accelerator pedal again,its fine.
Happens in all the gears and at all speeds but when pedal is pressd down to accelerate,there is no problem at all.
Just returned from Lydford with the van and whilst towing,the car was perfect except when I took foot off accelerator pedal and the problems there again.
8 weeks ago I had to have one of the injector seals replaced by Honda(noticed a smell of fumes leaking into the cabin).
They checked the other 3 injectors and said everything was fine.
4 weeks ago(after recommendations from various sources)I spent almost £590 on a new "EGR" valve and had it fitted by an independant garage.
The mechanic said that the old one was in very bad condition and that this should cure the problem.......No it hasnt
Not sure what to do next as the previous 2 garage visits has cost me almost £850 and cant afford to carry on with this "trial and error" situation.
Fuel consumption is fine(38-42 solo and about 28 whilst towing)Pulls like a dream with van on the back too.
Would anyone here have any thoughts on this problem please?
Many thanks.
Adrian
