Question EGR valve and and evap system fault

Went and got my car diagnosed and they found 3 codes. PO401- EGR low flow and 1457 Evap system fault. ABS 13-1 Left front speed sensor open.

How difficult is it to fix this ABS issue and replacing the EGR valve/cleaning the carbon out of the ports?

Thanks!

more than likely your not going to have to replace the egr...just take off the entire manifold and take it apart and clean the hell out of it. my port was ridiculously clogged...i mean it was unbelieveable!! also make sure u order a cheap head gasket kit so you have all the intake manifold and miscellaneous gaskets that will need to be replaced. i did mine all in one day with my stepdad. also make sure you label all the vacuum lines that have to be disconnected and remember the screws that hold the manifold together are all different lengths so label those as well...everything else is pretty straight forward and dont use any gasket sealant at all..put them all on dry. as for the ABS i have no clue. good luck

....probably the hardest part is disconnecting the EGR pipe to get the manifold completely out. be careful with that..and also clean out that pipe as best as you can

Thanks for the advice pro. Did you get your head gasket kit online? How much altogether did it cost to do? I'm sure someone else can chime in on the ABS.

yea the only thing that cost was the kit. it was about $65 bucks. it has all the necessary gaskets for an intake manifold/egr port cleaning job. heres a link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acura-TL-RL-...3cb321&vxp=mtr
