8yr/80,000ml ext. Check engine light must be on and OBDII must
indicate EGR problem. Otherwise, the stealer was going to charge
me $120.00 to check it out. There was a problem with the EGR
vavle clogging on certain models. I think that the CL's have this
recall as well.

The 6 gen Accord had this problem too. Symptom is check light on, and your car will have shut off on warm/hot starts. The EGR will clog up with carbon deposit and it will have insufficient flow. If your out of warranty, they sell the recall kit ~$80...but you have to take ur throttle body off and ur intake manafold off to replace it. Honda/Acura will charge you 1.5 hr of labor to do it when ur warranty is out. I don't know how much they charge per hour.
