1998 Honda Accord will stall after 10-15 miles of driving, and will not start till it sits for 5 minutes. about 250,000 miles on it. Otherwise the car was a timex, takes a licking, keeps on ticking. There is an engine leak, but the dealer service nicked the cam journal changing the timing belt at the front seal. I am not replacing a VTEC cam. There are no other leaks, and it does not burn oil. This has been going on for months now and I don’t have a clue as to why. About 6 months ago, EGR code popped up and is started stalling like this. I cleaned EGR, was not really bad, cleared code, was good for a few months and all started again. First it started the stalling again, a while later check engine light is on again, same EGR code, but I can’t believe the EGR is clogged again, might be the ports. And this may have nothing to do with the stalling. I have checked some blogs and is seems I am not the only one with an Accord with this issue. No one seems to know what it is. Seems worse on the 6 cylinder cars ranging from mid 90’s thru mid 2000. Fuel system, computer, where do I begin tshooting this. Have had car 10 years, first major issue aside from transmiision issues 8 years ago. Any ideas out there?

Egr systems information. There is a tube that feeds it exhaust gas to be reused again, that tube can become carbon filled. Late 90’s Toyota and possibly Honda cars have a small solenoid that partially controls the egr as well. Toyota calls is a vcv valve. Also, if you have any codes for o2 sensors, replace them. Trouble codes from that time period did not specify if the vcv valve was bad, it only said egr incificient egr flow. If the egr system is out of whack, it can cause a car to stall and not start again until its sat for a while. It appears that your egr work may not be done.
