the exhaust gas carbon and deposits has a long way to get into the combustion chamber. Theres a series of twists and turns it has to get through to reach the engine. Use some carb cleaner and a small flexible tooth brush if ur that worried about it seeping into the engine and then use a vaccum and hose to pull the remains out. Your not gonna be able to make the ports pearly sparkling white but if u can unclog it thats good enoughKnowledge is power...in EVERY sense of the word

no a pic would not do,if you look at your engine you will see 4 pluggs that are about the size of a dime,maybe a little bigger,i am supposed to take those out and clean the ports,there a 4 of them for the 4 ports,if i take off my egr valve can i clean out the egr valve,?i am confused but i do know there are 4 ports to be cleaned because i have the driections i justdont understand,and i cansee the gold pluggs on my exhaust manifold.

the egr ports u'd be cleaning would be on the intake manifold not the exhaust. Facing the engine and looking at the "4 gold colored plugs" is the egr directly to the left of them? And u said something about instructions on how to clean the ports...can you write them out real quick?Knowledge is power...in EVERY sense of the word

Here is a link to the directions from tech2tech.com that is no longer online. The plugs are aluminum. You drill and and tap for a screw or for the "easy out" that is described in the information and use the slide hammer to remove the plugs.

P.S. If anyone here ever think's they'll need this information in the future, please download it NOW. I will be purging it from my web space at some point.

there aren't any emissions in FL and there aren't any performance issues from blocking it...at all. But yea i didn't stop to think that he's in another state and probably needs to pass emissions, terribly sorryKnowledge is power...in EVERY sense of the word

I did the same thing when my ECu keep thorwing cel 12(EGR) I clean the EGR valve but the code 12 keep coming back every few day, so I drill and clean the port, it hard to clean , but I was able to break up alot of carbon deposit. My tech told me to drive hard after I clean it so it get suck into the intake manifold and get burned. no code for 3 day and then it came back. And yes I clear the ECU everytime. hmm wonder if EGR do go bad, any way to test them, without buying a new one?? those thing are expensive $200+90 Accord Coupe LX, Stock JDM H22A Engine 10.6:1 - Stock Automatic LSD MPA1 Trans, JDM P13 Auto ECU + JDM P19 TCU.
