Loved how you took it apart and showed all the inside parts. Best EGR video to date

Hey I know this is an old video but Im working on my honda and your channel is just top quality. I appreciate how methodical you are but descriptive along the way. You know your stuff and it shows! You're like a surgeon in there lol

"Ow, ow, ow - it's hot" Best part of the video! Cheers. Not just informative, but comedic as well 'o) This guy is a professional, disassembling everything. If you're not on the same level, make sure to take pictures or videos before removing the hoses, etc so you know where to put them back in the right place...

You are awesome,I cleaned the EGR valve according to this,it wasnt clogged at all,just how much I'd expect naturally but it fixed three problems I've been having.The idle was a little rougher than I'd want,the idle would drop to about 500 then back to normal when pressing the clutch with the AC on and it ran and shook a decent amount at 1600-2000 rpm at light loads,all three of these problems are gone after the first test drive

That was an excellent video. All information needed to complete the job. The bonus' were the explanation of the purpose of the valve and its dissection. Thumbs up

Thank you. Able to save on a costly repair and got 2005 Honda back up and running.

You need to make more videos, sir. Thank you for putting your work on the internet. It is informative, to the point, and graceful.

Great job explaining the egr and egr air flow. Just what I was looking for...!!

Awesome Video! Clear, concise and to the point! Thank you for sharing with us!

WOW a mechanic that uses antisieze!! Thumbs Up!

EXCELLENT VIDEO You deserve an OSCAR! I like the way that you dismantled the EGR valve to show what it contains.

Even though there is no serviceable parts inside the electronic egr valve it cool to see how it’s made/ works. When cleaning the egr mounting ports just know that all that carbon that you break loose and do not remove will just get clogged in the intake manifold egr ports. I have a Home Depot’s bucket vac for vacuuming out crap like that.

Did this cleaning on my 2011 insight and fir 120k miles it was surprisingly clean. Just a touch of carb cleaner and it was clean

Liked your technique, and that Midas Connector touch... The rest of us mortals can copy the technique, but those connectors... what a pain. I just broke three today on a 27 year old car.

Excellent instruction on all aspects of the EGR valve. Best one I've seen. Thanks for posting.

Do More Videos!! You have a career in this. Short, detailed, to the point. SUPER clear.

Realistic video that shows all the shit you have to move out of the way to get to the EGR. Showing the guts also gives people info on how to properly clean the valve AND where it mates to the engine. You should mention that a clogged valve causes hesitation during acceleration and lowers fuel economy. Going to be cleaning my daughters EGR on her 2001 Accord. 300,000 miles!

should i use steel brush? what is thr torque spec for hrv 2020? how many miles should i start doing this?

Thank you for taking the part apart. ☺️☺️☺️

After much troubleshooting I am down to cleaning my EGR valve trying to solve my P0304, P0305 and P0300 misfire codes, at least before I have to take the engine apart, or sell it. New spark plugs, oil-filter change, new coils, new PCV valve, new VCM tuner for my 3.5 Vy 2008 Accord, 2 new oil switches, new Bank 2 VVT and... NOTHING! Hopefully tomorrow this will do it. Crossing my fingers.

The best Video how to clean EGR among others try to do the same! Agree with Chad? also "liked (Loved) how you took it apart and showed all the inside parts. Best EGR video to date!" Spasibo, khorosho!

Now that was a great explanation.

Awsome video brother, Thank you for being conscientious about using a container to clean. too many burros I see not doing so contribute to pollution. (All fluids should be disposed of properly) Hope to more of your videos..

Rifle cleaning brushes are great for this job.

Excellent ERG video! Thank you!

When you had the EGR valve apart you could of taken a Scotchbrite pad and cleaned the carbon off of the valve stem and seat. You want the valve stem to move freely without sticking. You did a great job on taking apart the actuator and extracting the magnetic coil. There are actually two electronic components in that area; the coil that moves the core and the valve stem up and down. Also at the top there is a sensor that gives feedback to the EMS system that the commanded action was successful Its amazing that there are people who will not go through the basics of cleaning the EGR valve, PCV valves, trottle body, oxygen sensor fuel injectors or the intake manafold piston galleries. Dealers will charge thousands for that work but every aspect of that ceaning can be done with just a few hand tools and cleaning chemical. other than a completely snackkered sensor or hard mechanical issues you could have a business in the back of a van, making hundreds of dollars a day.

Best ever see video on KZfaq so much detail, in short time

I don't know why you put that grease on those screws, but after seeing you stripping that EGR valve apart like nothing, I trust and follow you on every step.

Great video, very informative! Thank you.

Be aware that in many cases it's more difficult to clear ALL affected blocked passages besides the "easy ones" associated with the "intake"... In addition, please consider the following... P0401 - EGR Insufficient Flow * Upper Intake Plenum down thru Coolant Crossover to EGR (square output port) will clog with carbon * Lower Exhaust Plenum down thru Coolant Crossover to EGR (round input port) will clog with carbon - Can often work clear using brake, carburetor, throttle body and/or Valvoline EGR cleaner - Utilize a flexible braided cable like a plumbing snake... - Utilize shop vac then air compressor to remove all debris - Entire upper and lower plenum passages must be cleared... Can be a real PITA, but necessary to actually keep code from recurring...

can you snake a cable down the egr port to clean further into the engine? i notice you were using a screw driver to clear out the passages. if you blow compressed air in there will it blow out the other side?

i also cleaned my electric connectors on my egr with alcohol. no more engine light showing now.

Now thats how you do a HOW TO video, 3 thumbs up dude!!!

The plunger in the lid portion is the position sensor

Keep the vids coming man, great info thanks.

Great video! EGR chambers should also be cleaned, as both the chamber and the valve develop carbon deposit build-up over time. In fact, the valve may be dirty but still functional, yet the chambers may be completely clogged. In my case, my 2000 Honda Civic required both the valve and chambers to be cleaned (chambers were completely clogged).

What happens to the carbon that falls down the pipe connected to the exhaust port?

Nice i just also clean by my self EGR of Jazz idsi 2007, and the result was very satisfied.. good Acceleration

Thank you so much! Question: if I got a 2004 civic that has been running rich for a long time due to faulty 02 sensor, would you recommend servicing the egr? Even though I’m not getting any codes

Great video! I'm about to work on mine so this is amazing! Only thing: is there no gasket?

Great video completely understand how to do it did my honda accord with no problems what so ever thanks keep up the good work.

Was trying needle nose because all the videos said that but if anyone has hemos for fishing or medical plyers they work way better at pulling it up

Kudos to you for this very useful and informative demonstration.

Thank you for such an informative video about cleaning EGR valve , I think can actually do it myself with a little help. Thank you again

Was the gasket forgot to be put on? I didn't notice one. Great video!

Where does the other end go of the hose and can a PCV cause misfires when accelerating

Glad I watched your video. I was about to buy the wrong tools.

Not gonna replace the egr valve gasket?

Again. Great video. Saved my van. Good work man.

Nice vid, very helpful, and kudos on being able to keep your ride going well into 300k klicks!

Great video, thank you!

That was an excellent video....are you still making new videos?

Damn man, you work in a Honda garage or something? You know every detail and you dismounted it like it was nothing After this, do you need to relearn the idle speed ? Thnx

Great video, EGR valve appears to be identical on my 2002 1.6 4-cyl Civic. I was wondering how the plunger works and I first tried to push it in like it worked on some Opel EGR-valves and was afraid that it was completely jammed because it didn't budge. But thanks to you I now know how it works LOL. I try cleaning it and hope that check engine light goes away but I'm a bit worried that EGR passages inside the intake manifold are clogged... I suppose EGR valve is OK if plunger moves easily and measuring pins 1-2 and 1-3 give lower than 100kOhm values like I saw done in another video to check the valve?

Excellent video, including shooting and editing.

Don’t you need to clean the intake manifold ports coming from the EGR valve?

Is it just better to buy a new one? Does it always 100% fix it by cleaning it? I’m getting a check engine light due to the egr valve.

Thanks for the nice to the point vid. Though Never Heard that Exhaust gases are recirculated for combustion cooling... I don't buy that, never :)

Thank you sir you are a genius you helped me out a whole lot I appreciate it

Can it be a cause of knocking in Ivtech

Removing the bolt in the back is pretty difficult. It can warp your socket. My socket was already warped so i'm going to buy a new one now and try to remove it.

Top Notch Job!!!!!! Best I have ever seen!!!

Does AutoZone still have lifetime warranty? If so why can't I just bring it in with my reciet and get a new one, but in my case I would be doing it every 3 to 6 months.

Great video....not like other guys explaining what they eat before...lol

Thanks for video. Can this solve the issue that cause my engine power drops at 3000rpm for a second when I push the gas pedal fully on my 1.8 civic? Tnx

Is this what causes the car to lunge forward when the radiator fan turns on while stationary?

Amazing.. Great video. Thanks

Awesome! Good work! Thx from USSR!

Is it ok to spray the carb cleaner into the EGR port holes?

I have a problem, nobody at Honda can fix my dual carbu of my Honda Prelude 3 G of 91, 2.0 ex, slowed down to 2200 rpm engine cold and barely 300 rpm !! Otherwise it works great but nobody can set me this idle !! .... they do not have the devices for that! It is a shame because my prelude will have soon ... 27 years and I want to keep it! What to do thank you!

Excellent video,thank you.

Thank you! Helped a lot.

You didnt take battery cable off...but over all good!! thanks

I wonder if there would be some bad concequences if it completely clog up. Would the engine be running normally, just without this recirculation? I know that some people are purpousely pluging it to make the engine work more efortlessly

Do I need to get a gasket for that?

Do you have to use a swivel on one of the bolts or no?

I followed the all the steps, replaced the EGR valve and noticed improved performance. However the engine light came back on with the same code P1491 Any suggestions? I have a 2000 Honda Accord 5 Speed Standard Trans witha 4 Cyl Vtech with 235K miles on it

Wow yes great video. Can I do the same procedure on a 06 ridgeline?

Sir ..is it necessary to clean egr valve even tho there's no issues or codes? because my car is 14 years old ..2003 accord same like yours, also the passeges? Thanks!

Do all modern cars have this unit? What about direct injection engine?

do i need to obd to resets whend oing this?

How does the ecu know if the exhaust gas being sent back is being restricted, is there a sensor in the valve itself or somewhere down the line? Ive replaced my whole valve and cleaned the passageways and i still get a code after resetting

Were you having issues or is this just a preventative maintenance? my car has 150k, never touched that yet

Nice! Planning on doing this on my Lexus Sc400! Will make a video on it haha

The egr valve lock ring did you replace that with a new one?

My Honda Civic 2000 consume more excess fuel what could be the problem

What happens if you ignore this issue?

This is a GREAT video. Right to the point. Will this also work on a civic 1996-2000?

Fantastic video , very informative thanks.

My car has 120,000km and it is 9 years old.. I haven't experienced any problems yet.. Should I get my EGR cleaned..

Outstanding video!

Does this take a gasket ? I see they sell one. Thanks

will putting cleaner in the egr port holes damange engine or just push it further?

What's that gasket you took off around 4:10? I think I damaged mine scraping around to get carbon off; should I be worried? Love your videos.

How do you reset the computer?

Anytime i hit the brakes too hard , my car stalls or even stops running. would you recommend starting with this egr?

Are there any torque specs on the egr bolts?

Does the egr valve affect performance and fuel?

very educative. Thank you regards

I done this on my egr clean it. Now my car cant start no more its just silent. Now I'm looking for help?
