1997 Accord v6 PO401 EGR Flow fix
 
What's the best way and or cheapest way to fix my 1997 Honda Accord EX v6
PO401 EGR flow fault? Can the EGR valve be cleaned instead of replaced or
could a vacuum leak cause the fault?

The ports are probably clogged and need cleaned out. You will probably have
to pull the intake manifold and clean them as well as the EGR valve. Common
problem. Do a internet search for lots of info.
