Default help with my 2004 6cyl!!!

hey guys,
I have a 2004 accord 3.0l. It's been idling rough and lacking accleration and wants to cut out on occasion. when I hit the gas it is really sluggish. EGR ports/valve?...If so Whats the best way to clean it? any ideas at all?? Thanks in advance

Well, the EGR system doesn't come into play at idle or under load.
Does the ECU have any codes stored? CEL light?
A common problem is to have crud build up around the throttle plate and/or the IACV screen gets plugged up.
Berrymans B-12 is my favorite flavor of throttle body cleaner, you can scrub around the throttle plate with Berrymans and a toothbrush.
Just take the IACV loose from the throttle body and blast out the screen with Berrymans and compressed air.
