Ping: Tigger
At work the other day a Honda came in with an EGR code... Standard 2.2 I
believe. We replaced the egr valve, but the code came back, so I researched
it on IATN (awesome site for auto mechanics) anyway it suggested cleaning
the ports in the intake manifold. I was amazed at how easy it was to do and
how clogged the passages were. I feel this may be a good addition to your
web site for the do-it yourselfer. I plan to do my nieces timing belt soon
and will also check the egr ports too. Perhaps we can collaborate in a
project.

That would be great! A howto on cleaning them would be an excellent
addition to the FAQ.
What would be awesome is photographs of the procedure, along with a running
commentary on what was found and what was being done about it.
You could also give a sort of rundown on what symptoms a stuck EGR
valve/clogged passages will have.
Check out some of the submissions from others, like this from Qslim:
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/sludg...ng_sludge.html
And from jpoy:
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/badsecondary/index.html
And from Yota:
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/sludg...osludge-2.html
These readers supplied the photos and a writeup on what was happening. I
reorganized it and made up the pages.
I have a number of other submissions that have not yet been put up, but
will one day (soon).

Re: Ping: Tigger
Unless the EGR is stuck open or opening at the wrong time, it won't effect
performance. The EGR system is an emissions game.
As the cost of r&r ing some manifolds could be costly, some people here
choose to live with the light.
