Hi folks,
I bought a FK2 Type R back in march and had the car 10 days before it went into limp mode, it would only occur under cruise control so took it back to the garage, the limp mode was cuased by a misfire in cylinder 4 but didnt show any codes for it other than misfire, the garage have changed pretty much everything from spark to sensors and wiring and still the car misfires on clyinder 4, they have also done compression test, leak test and smoke testing. All passed. Even done the timing chain. The car has been in the garage 10 weeks now with still no luck, they are going to change the ECU and of that fails unfortunately the cars going to auction - i however will be fully refunded for the deposit and payments made to the car.
I will add the car only goes into limp mode at 2500rpm, it doesnt do it anywhere else in the rev range
Any info on what it could be would be a great help or is it a lost cause? Car is a 66 plate with only 39k on the clock, full honda service history and valve clearances were done at 25k.
