WTF...You need to find new people to get your car smog tested....You can clean the ports and see what happens but yea...

But The Egr Can Be A Problem Right??

[Caution]

i go back and i get that punks license#, name, addres of business, and you turn his ass in to the smog authority for telling you u gotta drill some holes in your dam egr valve.....neva heard of such thing.....take that egr valve off, get a long vaccumm hose and connect it to that egr valve and suck on it and see if that little plug move back and forth easily.....and make sure if it is not all pluged up in the egr valve and egr port on the intake.....if those things are good, then that punk just one of them dam rippoff smog shi$% people....go somewhere else!!

Whoa, before you go off on your power trip Mr. Caution, the smog guy is right. There are EGR ports on your intake manifold that requires you to drill them out to properly clean them. It really depends on what type of motor you have because manifolds are different in regards to the egr ports. If you have the stock f22 motor then i believe this is how you clean them out. You can reference Haines or other automobile manuals for this car and see for yourself. I believe on the h22a motor there is a plate that you remove and the egr ports are there. so hence this might not require drilling. I know on a euro manifold there is a plate that covers the egr ports, and all you do is take out the necessary bolts and conduct your egr port cleaning. So before you start all this drama on how the smog tech is a crook, doesnt know what he is talking about, please get the facts straight, and realize what is the true definition of a egr valve, and how it works in reducing your emissions..


AND YES As for your car passing smog, yes if your egr isnt working correctly, then it will elevate your smog readings AND CAUSE YOU TO FAIL...

before everyone gets all hostile, lets determine what motor he has, if he is going to a smog only station, what are his readings, was his cat hot enough, etc etc...

PM ME IF YOU NEED ANY HELP..............

thanx for all the help...oh and i have an f22b1 with an f22a intake manifold...

I dunno about drilling HOLES in your EGR I know newer accords the sixth gen they tap a bigger hole in the EGR because of the recall and something else but yeathe only drilling that is required is pulling those lil tabs but you dont drill through them all the way. Honda also sells a kit for it forgot how much it was but yea EGR can effect your emissions.

Complete procedure for drilling out and cleaning EGR passages.

I don't think the guy is a crook but rather he was trying to help you out. Clean out those ports and get some brake cleaner to make things easier. If you ned to plug them back up because you removed the OEM plugs you can get the OEM ones, use a tap, or jb weld it. (it depends on the mani)

Heres another link:

Between those two links which both involve cleaning the ports and the egr itself you will be fine.. you can do the other cleanings too just to tune up the car, but thats everything you need to know right there.
