[@mplsfarmer]

Great video. I would only add one thing: After cleaning with the cloth and screwdriver, spray some compressed air into the cavity to make sure no cloth fibers are left behind. You can just use canned compressed air like the stuff for cleaning computer keyboards.

[@d.e.8985]

Really shows you the difference between a Honda and an American car. With the Honda, a part known to someday cause trouble is easily accessible where a GM is mounted vertically and is harder to access and fails more often. We learn by doing, I guess. Nice well made video. Also, some electrical harnesses have a lock out type key that slides directly out before you release the clip.

[@Duke_of_Prunes]

That's a lot of generalizing. Try changing the starter on my 2006 Accord with a 2.4 "K" motor -- you have to remove the intake and throttle body, THEN the starter. On my Ford, the starter pops right off in 5 minutes.

[@skidiablo]

@@Duke_of_Prunes you will not need regular access for servicing a starter on an Accord. On a Ford it may be a different, surely you can expect a shorter lifetime...

[@Duke_of_Prunes]

@@skidiablo The starters on Honda's K-series are notoriously short lived -- mine went out at around 100K miles. My Ford has 166K miles and the original starter. My GM vehicle has 234K miles with the original starter.

[@thurm101]

I finally did this ridiculously easy job. I had some throttle body cleaner left over from cleaning the tb. So I ordered a gasket from Amazon. It was like $1.25. I was lucky that the manifold wasn’t too much in the way. But I did have to grab a swivel to grab the back nut. It was dirty. Don’t think this has ever been done on this car. But I cleaned it up and put it back together. Don’t really know the benefits of a clean egr but mine is clean.

Got rid of the check engine light by only doing this. Thank you!

[@drewelling4441]

What was your check engine light for? Did you have a p0404 code?

[@rosspierre9643]

@ Drew I’m throwing the same code trying to figure it out. Thought i had faulty injectors changed them n wasn’t the problem I’m to do this soon to see if that the issue

[@drewelling4441]

Hey Ross. I cleaned my Egr valve and reset code. Check engine light came back on. I then bought and EGR valve off Amazon for 45 bucks and changed it then reset code. Took the car to Florida and now on our way back. Code has stayed off. (Currently been 2600 miles) and before it was coming back on every 50-150 miles when it was reset. So if cleaning doesn't work I'd consider replacing it

[@A.Musa76]

My father 2006 MDX Touring: All (6) cylinder is misfiring. Pulled the codes - P0404 (EGR A Control Circuit); P0301 cylinder 1 misfire; P0302 cylinder 2 misfire; P0303 cylinder 3 misfire; P0304 cylinder 4 misfire; P0305 cylinder 5 misfire; P0306 cylinder 6 misfire and P0300 random/multiple cylinder misfire. I just replace all (6) sparkplugs about a week or so ago with NGK Iridium. Now I'm leaning to the EGR valve. I'm going to try and clean it and then clear out the codes. If that does not work then may have to inspect the intake manifold. Do you think putting in Seafoam in the gas tank will do the trick?

[@A.Musa76]

Update: Cleaned the EGR valve from inside the port with WD40 and I spray carb cleaner inside the port at the motor and scrape a good amount of carbon build up with a screwdriver with microfiber cloth. I sprayed carb cleaner on the cloth and inside the port. Put it all back together and fired up the motor and no misfire in all cylinders, engine was running smooth but allots of smoke came out of the exhaust from grey then turn white. Drove it for few miles. Most of the smoke cleared out. I think my father need to drive it to so the carbon can clear out along with burning off the cleaner spray (cleaner sprays). CEL lights off. I did not run my scanner to see if anything was still stored after I took it for a short test drive.

[@Jason-bm8om]

It jumps rt into the process, so a quick quesrion: can u remove the EGR connector & EGR valve without disconnecting the 12v battery / cable (SOP) Thanks for this vid. Honda EGR valve at local AutoZ costs 344.99 non OEM. It's better to just clean & test it along w/ throttle body. Emissions Smog, HPowe, & rough idle issue I've found. Did not pass smog because of this dirt crud fouling it.👍

Because many of the gaskets are one time use and reusing them will cause leaks and issues. All modern hondas have the fuel filter inside the fuel tank/fuel pump assembly which is not easily accessible. Just buy good gas from good stations and you'll be fine.

Would every year to see if dirty, then you will know how long for preventative cleaning, period. Of course if like in a dusty area, suggest sooner. Not a fan of fixing it when it breaks. Another point people should check is their spark plug gaps every year. Bad gaps and dirty plugs leads to a lot of issues. They used to advertise plugs last a 100,000 miles. Not true anymore with newer cars. Check them plugs. About 45 min. job, to clean install.
