Default 90 Accord Engine Problem

I have this 90 accord for almost 2 years. As it reached its 200k, an engine problem came out, and more frequently lately. After running for a few minutes from cold, the engine hesitates when I step the throttle half-way. It's fine if I only press a little bit, or I step all the way down to the floor, in which case it will gain power suddenly. After a little moment, the problem would be gone.

Anyone can help me with this? Thanks a lot.

No. I have never done anything to the engine, except changing oil and oil filter.

Thanks.
But it could be the valve, or the ECU, or other wire problem. Can you tell from the symptom? It only last for a little while.

Okay, but it could also be the EGR, which is free to clean.

Free? You mean DIY?
But how?

Getting a new car with less than a million miles is also an option.
