I have the same problem with my EGR valve. I had it replaced 5,000 miles ago and now my engine light is on again.
So I took it back to this douchebag mechanic and he told me he wants another $500 cause he says it needs to be cleaned. I would much rather put that money towards a new amp if I could do this myself.
So I just need to take it out and clean it? Thanks for any help!

oh and until I get around to setting my signature up my whip is:
99 Accord EX
3.0L V6 V-TEC Auto

I moved your post to a new thread to make things less confusing on the original thread.

Search for v=HRp6RWZ1egM on YouTube for a good video on how to do this on a V6 engine. This is for the V6 Acura TL. This is similar to the accord V6.

There is also a TSB on how to do this on the accord. Copy and paste the link below into your browser to see the TSB.

Hey thanks for the guidance. To be honest I just got m accord last week and I don't even know how to get a code. Do I need some kind of diagnostic equipment?

Probably sounds stupid. I wanna do the EGR because I think that's why the engine light is on in my whip. (At least that's what the previous owner said) Thanks for the link.

Places like AutoZone can read the code by plugging in a reader. Get the actual code number (something like P1234) not just the guy's description.
