OK so im sure you guys know the symptoms by now, running rough , bad gas mileage, etc. etc., Basically I know the egr ports in the intake manifold need to be cleaned, fine, my problem is were would it be located (the clogged intake ports i guess), and also is the upper intake manifold gasket the only one ill need? any and all feedback is appreciated ..thanks in advance....

96 2.5 tl 18?,??? miles,

ps i have searched and even found some good info but usually the pics or the links dont work

 

Ok, so i did even some more searching and i found that clogged egr ports are a common issue on high mileage honda motors equipped with them. So yesterday i went ahead and deciided to get under the hood and clean the damn things. Well i noticed right on the top of my intake manifold there is a plate just held there by a couple of bolts, i removed the bolts and the pate and BAM!! Honda in all there brilliance, decided to make an egr servicing area to clean the ports. All i had to do was get some carb and intake cleaner and some brushes i got and clean them up. Went smoothly, now she runs real good, I dont know how this works with other honda motors, but its pretty sweet i didnt have to take off the whole intake manifold.

I guess tonight when i get my camera back ill do A DIY on it.

 

Good to know you figured it out.
