Finally found out what was the problem.
I had my check engine light on for like 2 weeks now and I saw a ad at autozone for a free check engine light test. I got it done and it said it was my egr valve. So my question is how much will it cost to fix it? Or do they post to clean it??? Thanks.

I bought this car used and don't have a warranty
Anyone know if I need to by a new one? fix it? Or do they post to clean it? How much did you pay to fix this (who ever didn't have warranty)?

It is included in the extended emmissions warranty that came with the car when it was purchased new. Call your Acura dealer, tell them the problema dn tell them you understand that it is covered by the extended emmissions warranty and see where it goes from there.

Most EGR failures are due to excessive carbon build-up.

i thought that all honda and acura's had their emission system warrenty extended to 100,000 miles regaurdless. and the egr is part of that. i got the letter from honda in the mail. they will even give u new spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, pcv, etc when u got 75-100k mileage. and 50-75 u get a free emission system inspection or somethin like that.

I found this online:

3.0CL Warranty Extension: EGR Port Clogging
(Supersedes 99-045, dated October 26, 2001)
Updated information is shown by black bars.
BACKGROUND
In some areas of the U.S., certain basic chemical properties of gasoline (regardless of brand) may cause the intake manifold EGR port to clog or the EGR valve to fail. If this happens, the MIL comes on with a DTC P0401 (insufficient EGR flow) or P1491 (insufficient EGR lift) stored.

This warranty extension cancels the PCV hose routing Product Update Campaign. You should no longer install the PCV hose routing kit.
1997 vehicles - These vehicles are covered by the 14 year, 150,000 mile emissions warranty extension. Refer to service bulletin 98-031, Emissions Warranty Extension, filed under Fuel and Emissions. Any condition that causes the MIL to come on is covered by this warranty extension.
1998-99 vehicles - American Honda is extending the warranty on EGR system problems in the affected vehicles to 8 years or 80,000 miles, whichever comes first. To be eligible for coverage under this extended warranty, the MIL must be on with one of the above DTCs stored. Install the EGR pipe kit, and file a claim using the information in this service bulletin.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
1997 vehicles - All 1997 vehicles were subject to the PUD. Owners will be mailed a letter explaining that the PUD has been cancelled, and reminding them that the emissions systems are covered by the 14 year, 150,000 mile emissions warranty extension.
