Welcome to my channel i am shouting out my friend who has started her own apparel line called Uni kitten you can check it out here, thanks for the support. shop.spreadshirt.com/unikitten-apparel/
Hey, I came back to find your video on RU-vid to respond to it. Thank you for this particular video because it is the best one out there and I am sure everyone in one of these Honda's at 200,000+ miles has this issue. One of the most important aspects to it in my opinion was seeing where you ran into slight issues and how you resolved them. I knew they were coming from your video, so I was prepared on how to address it quicker. You encouraged me to be able to tackle this job myself, and I appreciate you taking the time in the past to post this. I was only planning on replacing my EGR valve yesterday (missing at a stoplight, stalled a few times, high engine temp evident on the spark plug, overheating oddly, NO dash error light, getting worse, worse when driving longer in town, seemed like decent gas mileage, but was beginning to run like ____ symptoms that made it obvious something bad was beginning to happen). However, once I started digging into it I saw that my EGR valve looked like your EGR valve. At that point I knew that my ports were going to look like your ports, so I kept on going to find out. Mine were just as blocked as yours, if not more so. Every port was 100% blocked on mine, as were the channels connecting them like was shown in the video. I am at 278,000 on a 1995 LX 2.2L (Not the VTEC), but it comes apart just like yours. The cleaning of everything took far longer than taking it apart and putting it back together. My car idles now though like I don't ever remember it idling. Very smooth... So. Thank you again. Have an excellent day :)
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm having rough idle issues with my 95 accord ex and have changed so many parts and cleaned so much stuff. I'm going to try this next. Thank you again!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🫡🫡🫡
glad there are good people out there who like to help others. I do my best to help as well. thanks for the how to video. saved me lots of money I know.
Adding a note for future viewers: 1993 accord 400k miles F22A1, I just did a whole gasket replacement on my engine, head gasket, intake/exhaust, on and on...I wasn't even thinking about my EGR valve until I separated the Intake manifold from the head, I noticed the port on the head that flows through the manifold into the EGR valve was completely blocked with carbon. So be sure to check that port as well.
kept getting misfire on Cyl #2. tried everything even new distributor. This was the problem. It would sputter when car would cruise at around 25 - 45mph. Did this works great now! Thank you so much.
great video, my 96 oasis 308,000 mi. (odyssey) was putting out p0401 egr low flow, and found the casting passages completely blocked and all the other passages were restricted with carbon crud. code now fixed and can get it NY inspected. Thanks
Bro, I knew this was the problem on my 1995 accord, my symptoms were- car ran fine as long as you were accelerating or decelerating, but that one spot where you hold the gas pedal to go a consistent speed it would sputter and miss bad. Idled fine. 3 of the 4 ports were completely clogged shut. Thank you so much for this video, my Honda mechanic wanted over $300 to do the job!
Good comment I have same exact stuff happening right now this helps a lot to know whats going on I have a 94 accord and plan On doing this myself when it gets warm out
Honestly , thank you so much. I just got an accord and it’s been a horrid little car but I wanted it to learn how to drive manual and I’ve done just that. Now it’s time to see if I can fix some issues and this is a HUGE help. Thank you so much g.
Hey at 8:09 i see you have kinda a orange glue underneath you engine. Where you experiencing a vacuum leak right there cause i am and i cant figure out how to fix it???
Great video! How did you get the EGR valve nuts off? I was trying to do this but the flange the valve has gets in the way of a ratchet and there wasn't enough space for a wrench. What did you do?
I have same honda accord, 95 CD5 F22B3 auto, it 300K+ on the clock but the last owner said he had engine replaced some stage ( may be not) and it was a ex-taxi, and it drives fine, but when it stop at the light or parking and leave the engine running. the engine or whole car shakes, will cleaning EGR kill this problem or something else? rev stable at idle. not rough at all. got new spark plugs and cleaned IAC and Fast idle thermo valve, idea?, thanks.
Cant say because i don't know the cause. their could be an engine problem internally. Its worth a try. you have to do process of elimination to find problems.
Is it ok to use 75% isopropyl alcohol, and or brake cleaner, and or carb cleaner? down in the egr passages? how about fuel injector egr connection? is it ok to use carb cleaner? alcohol?
by egr passages do you mean the holes that go to the intake manifold? As long as you can remove the carbon carefully and use a shop vac you shouldn't need to pour anything into the manifold.
How were you able to fit your ratchet on the three nuts? I tried to use my ratchet with a 10mm wobble socket with no luck. The solid vacuum line is blocking the nut. Are you using a breaker bar? Thanks for all the help.
chriss4365 I'll give that a try. My ratchet has a 3/8 in drive with a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter. Plus I had a 3 inch extension on it. I'll try to get my hands on a ratchet with a 1/4 inch drive on it. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again for your help man.
hey. i have a 97 accord with the vtec engine and im having a cylinder 1 misfire. things i already done include new distributor with cap and rotor, wires, spark plugs, new catalytic converter, new fuel filter, changed gasket on intake, new cylinder 1 injector, and no luck still. Could this be the issue to my problem?
+Angela Ramirez Sounds like its timing issue or could be a blocked injector too as it will only let some fuel in and their is too much air so it could possibly cause the fuel to ignite premature. Watch my fuel injector cleaning video and try that.
Hi I'm really frustrated! I have a 1997 Honda Accord Ex 2.7L that I had a rebuilt engine & transmission put in my car & the guy had my car 4 almost an entire year! I got my car back & I couldn't get it inspected right away because the driver's side turn signal was missing. I installed that! On top of the guy damaging some seal on the transmission( because it's LEAKING) he also didn't secure a clamp on the engine &!there was a serious gas leak! The gas leak is fixed! The transmission leak is not as of yet!!!! On top of that He WAY OVERFILLED the oil!!! Now the check engine light is on! And it's the EGR lift valve code! Also it's throwing a misfire code! And I'm trying to figure out how with less than 400 miles on brand new spark plugs, wires, EVERYTHING NEW ON THIS ENGINE AM I GETTING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT!!! Does the EGR valve come on the rebuilt engine or does that have 2 be put on from the old engine? CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME? So I don't have 2 strangle this male!!!!!
Sorry to hear that, when you get a rebuild they can be cheap and put old parts back on. If you didn't specify and pay for new parts they will throw back on the old ones. Why did it take a year to fix a car? Do you have any paperwork form the mechanic about what he was going to do? It sounds like you may need to take the mechanic to court to get money for damages so you can get it fixed right. Im sure he put the old egr back on. Don't strangle him take him to court.
@@chriss4365 Which country did you do this work in please? Surely you must know that. Was the car left hand drive? It doesn't look like you are in the UK!
It's a valve that's supposed to prevent oil from going into the intake. of the oil is in the side that leads to the valve cover then your fine also if it's original it should be changed.
This was a long time ago. I think it improved it but nothing I did fixed the car to perfect running condition. This was a car I bought that was a lemon.
@@chriss4365 I bought the exact same car and when idling it starts to surge up&down when the engine gets to temperature and when trying to accelerate it just stalls did u have the same problem?
Hey man been having a problem on a 94 lx 4 door...it wont idle right when its warm....im hoping this is the problem ive practically replaced everything else
Aernt they studs, been a while since i did this job? Studs are a pain to get out. I got out a broken stud on a scooter in another video. I drilled out the broken bolt with a drill bit slightly smaller than the hole to not damage the threads. Then after i re tapped the damaged threads with same size tap. Not sure of the bolt size tough. If you damage the threads drilling out the old bolt you might need to re-tap a size bigger and a size bigger bolt as well.
Also i just realized if you don't relieve the fuel pressure you have to be very careful the injectors don't come out of the rail when you remove them or fuel can squirt out. When the injectors are out only a tiny rubber seal holds them in.
Talk about faffing about.........! Take the bloody stuff off preventing you getting it out first......before you unscrew it and then try to move it........ Nearly seven minutes before we see any effective progress. Should have had everything disconnected and at the workbench in about four minutes...... But credit to you for tackling the job and showing your methods.....Thank you. P.S. Gloves are helpful in stopping any cuts to fingers and hands when loosening stuff that is tight, or getting a rubber hose off. It is something that we all experience when we work on our vehicles. I use disposable gloves for most things.....but these easily tear and then you cut yourself. Stronger work gloves......(time and experience will tell you which is best).......won't stop you knocking your fingers or hands when something slips.....BUT........they will prevent you cutting yourself......and yes, I know, it is usually a clip that catches you out... Oh......and plug the holes with something, (even a rag will do), before using the wire brush.. A fiddly job at the best of times but well done...
