Does Any one Here have an idea what to do when cleaning the egr valve and passages? Is there thread that can help me do this i know where it all is and stuff i just need some guidance................thanks guys!

 

Have you investigated the one-time emissions repair by Acura? Not sure if it's applicable to 96, but worth a check.

If you know where EGR and EGR manifold is located, it's a simple matter to remove, clean passages w/ throttle body cleaner and mechanical tools (stuff is pretty hard), and reassemble. I haven't done a 3.2TL, but have done a couple of 4-cyl Accords. The outlet holes into the intake manifold passages may be completely blocked and require cleaning w/a drill bit. The hole size may vary from hole to hole (balanced EGR flow sizing). You likely will need a new EGR and EGR manifold gasket. Best to get before you start. Presumably you have an "insufficient EGR flow" code?

good luck

 

YEAH I HAVE THE CODE P0401 INSUFFICIENT flow and i went ahead and used your tips and actually not too much blockage but i am going Champion Acura here in Houston And they said that that item was covered under the emmisions extension plus i already had them do the tsb for my vehicle oil, plugs and filter nothing major but i didn't have my check engine light on at the time

 

If cleaning the ports didn't clear the code, you probably have a defective EGR. Other EGR faults set different codes. Time to let Acura do the emssions repair since an EGR is probably close to $200.

good luck
