1999 Accord V6 EGR low flow fixed
Just wanted to relate that the cause of the low EGR flow on my 1999 Accord
V6 was intake manifold passages that were almost completely blocked with gunk. The RGR passage fix was done around 40k but at 101 k it was almost blocked closed. Removing the intake and cleaning the passage both in the manifold and in the block worked great. Thanks to everyone who offered advice. Mike |

Can you be more specific as to what was the fix at 40,000 miles and how you
cleaned the intake passage (with what tools/solvents) etc. My 3.0 V6 is throwing a P0401 EGR Insufficient Flow code. Thanks.

Not sure if this is the same problem, but there is a recall on the EGR for
at least the '99 V6. Honda had me out of the shop in 45 mins. -keith '99 EX-L V6 "cc0034030" > wrote in message ... > Can you be more specific as to what was the fix at 40,000 miles and how you > cleaned the intake passage (with what tools/solvents) etc. My 3.0 V6 is > throwing a P0401 EGR Insufficient Flow code. > > Thanks. > > "Mike Wright" > wrote in message > ... > > Just wanted to relate that the cause of the low EGR flow on my 1999 Accord > > V6 was intake manifold passages that were almost completely blocked with > > gunk.
