I believe that the EGR valve repair is covered under an extended warranty (75k miles??). I had mine fixed last year (for free) and the dealer told me it would have been around $225 to fix it.

I heard $300.00 but don't you have a thread with the same question.
Read you're other thread and the advise that I gave you.

Hit me up with the instructions. How much did the egr valve cost?
I prefer doing it myself than taking it to the dealer. I like to work
on my car if its easy instead of taking it to the dealer. I might save money!

Its really easy to change. 2 bolts and the electrial quick disconnect..
On the 3.0 it sits to the left of the throttle body.

I got mine brand new off of e-bay for 68 dollars.
1. The egr system reduces oxides of nitrogen by recirculating exhaust gas through the egr valve and intake manifold into the combustion chamber.
2. The egr system consists of the egr valve, the egr valve lift sensor, the power train control mondule and various sensors. The pcm memory is programmed to produce the ideal egr valve lift for each operation condition. An egr valve lift sensor detects the amount of egr valve lift and sends this infromation to the PCM. The pcm then compares it with ideal egr valve lift, which is determinded by data received from the other sensors. If there's any difference between the two, the pcm cuts current to the egr valve to reduce the amout of exhaust gas recirculation.
3. To check the egr valve lift sensor, disconnet the electrical connector from the egr valve and check for continuity between terminals number 1 and 2 on the valve. If the sensor circuit is open (no continuity), replace the egr valve.
4. To check the operation of the egr valve, start the engine and warm it to its normal operation temperature ( wait for the electric cooling fan to come on). Stop the engine and disconnect the egr valve electrical connector.
5. Instal a fused jumper wire from the battery positive terminal to terminal number 4 on the egr valve. Start the engine and connect a jumper lead from the battery negative terminal to terminal 6 on the egr valve. The engine should idle rough and /or stall. If it does not, replace the egr vavle.
6. Further checking fo the egr control system requires special tools and equipment.

Replacement.
7. Disconnect the electrical connector for the egr valve lift sensor.
8. Remove the two nuts that secure the egr valve and detach the egr valve.
9. Clean mating surface of the egr valve and adapter.
10. Install new egr valve, using a new gasket. Tighten nuts securely.
11. Plug electrical connector.

I hope this helps.

This is all covered under the extened warrenty set forth by Acura up to 150k miles

take the car into Acura and tell them you want it done and also while there have the ignition recall done as well

call acura and give them your VIN number and see if you qualify to make sure

Where is the EGR valve? I am looking in the service manual and it shows a diagram of the system but it doesn't show where it is located. Please do not reply with the warranty info BS because I know about that....

Well I figured out where the EGR is, no thanks to you guys, the manual, or the diagrams at www.acuraautomotiveparts.org My next question is that the part number on the top of my current bad EGR is 18710-P8A-A01. I put that part number in at www.acuraautomotiveparts.org and it shows a new part number of 18011-P8A-A00. Is that the part number you guys are ordering for a new EGR??

It sure seems like SCCATypeSH has a damn attitude for some reason.... I mean, come on, the frickin' EGR valve isn't that hard to find if you open the hood of your car every once and a while...

dude you are a fuckin douche! Good luck getting any help here. If you were smart you would save your money and clean out your old egr. They get clogged up with carbon buildup and they quit working. Soaking it overnight in brake cleaner will usualy fix it.
