What The HELL is wrong with my engine!?!

2 weeks ago, my [Check Engine] light came on. I went to the local auto parts store and they got me the generic code. (it was for the EGR - "insufficent flow")
So I call up the dealer and they said im still "under warranty" from the EGR recall.

"Under Warranty" - meaning free service to replace the valve, clean the ports, replace the plugs and wires...etc..

Well, about a week ago, (right before I got the warranty service done) my car started acting really rough. Im having rough idling, my exhaust sounds somewhat baffled, and im experiencing a TON of engine / performance lag.
The best way i can describe it...it happens ramdomly, but I will try to excelerate and when im between 1-3Krpms, the car gets lagged, boggs down and starts to shake a little. (It basically feels like im trying to excelerate but someone is holding the car back....or it's kinda be like someone trying to drive a stick for the first time and the car kinda shakes and dosnt want to "go")

Anyway, I figured all this "lag" with the engine not responding and bogging down, was caused by the EGR valve being all clogged w/ "insufficent flow". They said they replaced everything, and yet, im still having these "lag" issues....but I never had these lag problems before...only after the engine light came on and I found out the EGR valve was clogged. So, i still think its EGR related, but Acura said they fixed everything.....?....(im confused on what is could be and whats causing it...)

Anyone have any ideas or experienced and "engine lag" like this before??

I forgot to say...when the dealer did the EGR Warranty work, they ended up clearing out all the codes/engine light...Soo now im still having this lag problem, which i thought was caused by the EGR being clogged...annnd now im still having lagging problems, but I have no engine lights or warning codes to help me pin point this problem.

Take it back and demand they fix that. I had the same problem with the EGR valve and took it back for the recall. My car worked great after. Tell them to check the sparkplugs and do some road tests. Your car was acting up because of a manufacturer deffect, they replaced the parts, but didn't fix the problem. Maybe if you speak to the manager, you can get something done. Good luck. By the way, it sounds like you're not running on all cylinders. check the wires as well...
