Ok when my car runs for a while my check engine light comes on. I check the code it was 12 that is the EGR Valve. But if I turn the car off and then turn it back on the check engine light does not come on. Now iam wondering if i don't replace it what is the worst that can happen i plan on replacing it thought i just want to know what will happen and what is it for in the first place.

did you try cleaning your EGR valve?? is EXTREMELY EASY --- compared to the ports.
i cleaned my EGR Valve in about 20-30mins [incl. removing, cleaning and re-installing]Member's Page:: Coming Soon

i also recommend cleaning it, it could be clogged w/ a lot of build up which restricts it from doing what it's supposed to do
if case comes worst, i recommend deep cleaning your ports(drilling, cleaning, and re-sealing)
not necessarily what it'll come down to but just a thought

it's on of the main parts of the emissions system on your car....
it recirculates some of the exhaust gases back into your intake to lower emissions...

Well in my experiences when you get an egr code then shut the car off and the code goes away its the egr failing what happens is inside the egr is a valve that operates off of vacuum to allow air to recirculate well in your case your valve is not holding vacuum when it should you could pull it off and clean it which might buy you a day, a week, a month you never know when I had the same problem I cleaned mine and it lasted about 2 days. So its up to you if you dont mind doing twice by all means go ahead. Just my .02I need a 14b or 16g turbo!Comment

I didnt have a check engine code 12 untill i cleaned it. Then it started trippin on me. Are we supposed to use honda bond or something for the gasket? Right now I have it with no power and un vacuum plugged.Comment
