OK so i have a 1992 Honda Accord LX with 172,000 miles on it. I got home this morning and when i got back in my car 10 mins later to go to the store i turn the key, the lights on the dash and everything turns on but when i got to start the car the starter does not even click, The lights and everything kill for like 1 second when it trys to start then they come back on. I check the engine codes and it pulls up code 12 which is the EGR lift valve. My car has been hesitating and reving on its own, even when i let go of the gas at low rpms in high gears the car keeps on moving with out slowing down. It also revs to 3 grand when it starts. Would the EGR cause my car to not crank or stop the starter from turning?

Short answer – no.
But it needs to be removed and cleaned anyway.
Dash lights mean nothing.
Either your battery is dead, or discharged, or battery poles/terminals are real dirty, causing undercharged battery/dead battery, or all of the above.
So you start with cleaning battery terminals and poles, charging battery, and taking it from there. ANd clean EGR.
