98 accord EGR-check engine light
What can you tell me about EGR valves and the check engine light on a 98 Accord?
The code reads insufficient flow.
Where is the EGR located?
I heard that something can be drilled, is that true?
Cheap place to get an EGR if I have to get one?

It's on one side of the intake manifold, I'm not sure which for the 98. It looks like this on 3rd gens:

It's usually not the valve that goes bad, but the EGR ports that get clogged. I think on the 98 you can just unbolt a cover to access the ports, but I have only done it on my 92 where I had to drill and pull the port plugs out, then clean out the ports.

Here is a guide to cleaning them, it includes "94 and up."
