Guys,
Had a question on a code for a "restricted input airflow to the EGR valve" on my Honda Accord. Before shelling out $200 for a new valve, I removed the old valve and cleaned it out with some electrical cleaner and also took some compressed air (at a reasonable pressure) and applied it to the valve to dry it back out and also applied some air to the passages in the intake - where the valve bolts to the engine.
After all this, I'm still getting a MIL code for restricted airflow - with as many miles on the car as I have and the current EGR valve is the original OEM valve - how can I tell if I need to change the valve or simply remove the intake and try cleaning out the passages from the engine side? Thanks in advance.
