The $1,000 Honda Accord EX Coupe needs a bit of mechanical help. Let's dig into it and fix everything setting the check engine light. The CEL is set for codes: P1259, P040, and P0132. We're starting with the P0404 by removing the EGR valve, cleaning it, removing all the old gasket material, and replacing the gasket with a Fel-Pro amzn.to/2JeBut6
After the EGR valve was ready to be reinstalled I removed the VTEC solenoid to resolve the P1259 code. There was some oil around the solenoid but nothing serious. From what I've seen these are rather sensitive to any oil leak or low pressure condition. I removed the solenoid assembly, tested it, cleaned everything up and replace both seals with the Dorman 917-170 kit amzn.to/2JewLYu
Replacing the spark plugs changed the scope of work a bit, one spark plug tube was nearly full of oil and is the likely cause for the erratic rough idle.The spark plugs were replaced with 4 NGK V-Power Platinums amzn.to/2LoLdzU
After that I finished the job with a new valve cover gasket set and a new air filter.

@n3bruce 5 лет назад

I used to have a 2000 Accord 4 cylinder with the ULEV motor. At 250,000 miles or so I had ongoing EGR problems,despite replacing and cleaning the valve. One thing that can happen is there are small passages in the intake plenum that coke up as well. I tried to avoid tackling the removal of the intake plenum by trying to sneak a wire up into the passages to scrape it out, but it soon coked up again. Car still ran decently when I sold it at 288k for $1,200 in 2012, but fixing the emissions issues was more than the car was worth, and an emissions inspection was looming.

It was the first one in Germany (1 of 12 in my Regt by the time I left Germany it was a nice little car). Toyota recommended twice yearly Engine Oil Changes. At the time my Regt were doing trials on different vehicles looking at was that correct including Army vehicles. So twice a year I drained the Oil and got it tested. Same oil after 5 years and only replaced the Oil Filter Once a year? Very reliable and sold it to another Army person in Germany when I left and yes he knew all about the Oils. He did some of the tests.

On some of these Hondas you have to clean out the channel for the EGR system, under the EGR valve. Take a piece of speedometer cable and put it in a drill and use it like a rotor rooter down the channel. Then spray brake cleaner to flush out.

@@tkennedy Negative. I use iridium plugs and I ALWAYS check and sometimes have to gap them. They are "supposed" to come pre-gapped, but often they are out of spec and should be gapped under the correct and careful conditions. If you're a gorilla and will man-handle them, I suppose you can slap them in, but they should be checked and gapped if necessary. Virtually all makers provide gap data. Thanks though.

This generation Accord is a reliable car. I still see a lot of them (I have one too) even though some are more than 20 years old. Mine has 122k miles and runs well and does not leak any fluids. I recently had my mechanic replace those VTEC solenoid gaskets because I noticed a slight oil leak and didn't want it to get any worse. If you perform the timing belt replacement and don't run the engine out of oil or overheat it and change the oil regularly the 4 cylinder engines in these cars will last a long time.
