First I would get a new gasket (they all use the same gasket no matter what model or year), remove and clean the valve. Then reinstall it with a new gasket. You may also need to have you EGR ports cleaned out. But try the valve cleaning first.Visit us at http://www.valleyspecialists.com for all of your Honda and Acura service needs!

haha im on top of it so u wont bug me lol jk...
i dont know if that will solve your problems, some claim that if u tap the top of that egr thing with a flat head or something a little heavier, the CEL will go away and u will be fine but it will come back.
check all connections, including that red plug on the throttle boddy to see if it is there....but sometimes ur ports can be cloggin up as well...

i dont know what ur problem is exactly, i havent really encounterd it...but id rather get the EGR valve NEW....if ur going to replace itWhat makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
