I have an Accord Tourer 2.2 ictdi, had the car for about 7 months now, a
few weeks ago the heater coil display light came on whilst driving under
acceleration, the car went into "limp mode" after a minute or so of
steady away driving it went off.
A friend who is an RAC patrolman plugged into his diagnostic computer
and the fault was a camshaft position sensor fault, we renewed the
sensor £85.00+ vat, cleared the fault code and tried it, the heater
coil light again came on again and car in limp mode.
Diagnosed it again, this time it showed a P1065 fault code, which I
understand is a Honda fault code.
The car starts and runs fine until you accelerate maybe to 3000 rpm then
the engine faulters and if you persist it will go into limp mode.
I am going to put it in for a major sevice pretty soon when finances
allow, just wondered if anyone has any experience of similar.
The fuel filter does not look like it has been changed recently and when
I spoke to the main dealer they said some problems had been experienced
if fuel filters were not changed regularly....Could it possibly be a
fuel flow fault, was my recent thought.
Any help appreciated.

Change the fuel filter & check the earthing to the ECU if you don't want
to pay Honda for a fault code read out.

Nothing to do with "earthing", that is usually shouted as a guess.
If the ECU wasn't "earthed" - or connected to the negative supply it
wouldn't work.
If the connection was bad or a high resistance it would show immediately as
the
car wouldn't start or run. It isn't really an issue with a Honda.
The fuel filter change will make no difference. Learn how a diesel turbo
engine works!
Stop the guessing and save money. Split the engine in to sections, look at
what each
one does - then try to work out why an error code would point to one thing,
but be caused
by surrounding parts.
