I thought I'd copy this from the other EGR thread. When I called Acura for an appointment, I literally read them this letter over the phone and she said yes that is correct sir 
Here's an update on the Acura Emissions Warranty Extension.
The following is extracted from a letter from Acura HQ in Torrence CA, dated Winter 2006-2007, titled Emissions Warranty Extension Reminder.
- Models covered are some 1995, 1996 & 1997 vehicles.
- For these vehicles, Federal and CA Emissions Warranties have been extended to 14 years from the date of original sale, or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first.
- If your vehicle fails a state emissions test, or if the CEL comes on, take your vehicle to an Acura dealer.
- Under this warranty, the dealer will repair any emissions-related problem free of charge.
- If you have paid for parts or repairs you believe should have been eligible for coverage under this warranty extension, please submit copies of the repair orders and any supporting documentation to
American Honda Motor Co
Acura Client Services
PO Box 2964

I had this problem with my 138,000 mile 1997. When I read on this thread that there might have been some kind of warranty, I checked with the local dealer. They confirmed the warranty, and offered to see the car immediately, but made it very clear that THE CEL LIGHT MUST BE ON for the car to be accepted for this emissions warranty.
There is a standard procedure and a parts kit for the EGR problem which includes removing the manifold, cleaning and modifying the EGR ports with the addition of an EGR pipe, and replacing the EGR valve. All free, and they threw in a loaner car for the day. Nice deal all round!
Hope this help some other owners!

Just took my car in for the FREE parts and service deal under extended emmissions warranty. First guy I talked to said only if the part wasn't working so I called American Honda and confirmed that this is a one time service provided upon request at any Acura dealer. When I called the same dealer a second time a different guy answered and said to 'bring the car in'.
