Hi Guys,
Got a new issue with my Accord EX 2.2Cdti 07 which appears linked to previous "mends" made - so I think I need to research this further...
I was driving today to work when suddenly transfering to 3rd, the revs slowly decrease. This despite being fully in gear and with my foot down... no power. Pulled over, restart and can pull away but same issue when going back into 3rd! Pull over... etc. Then I decided to skip 3rd into fourth, same reaction.
The curious thing is that it doesnt stall the enigine - almost as if the engine ignores all throttle input and goes to idle @ ~800rpm (although Ive yet to allow it to) once put into 3rd.
Checked for codes - nothing... I'll be scouting the internet further but I'm wondering, why only in 3rd gear?
Background:
A month before I had a MAP sensor replaced due to a similar issue, no power & no stall in 1st/2nd gear. A week after, EML came on and so got the EGR cleared of significant buildup! It ran a bit weird (sounded like rpm was going up n down every second) in 3rd when cruising at 30mph... so redexed and it subsided...
TLDR: Car loses all power once into 3rd, returns to idle at 800RPM and doesn't stall.
Any advise or suggestions are welcome. After twice taking it to a garage and returning similar issues, I'd feel good having more than one voice to hear.
