Ah, yes. Sorry I missed that. Unfortunately, the diagram is for a 1996 Accord which has a different engine from my 2.3L 4-cylinder 1998 model.
[b]Customer Question
Hi Tim Im back with a new question. 1996 Honda Accord 2.2 with a P0401 code. Can you lead me to a fix . Thanks Mike[/b]
The diagram shows there is an EGR chamber lying on top of the manifold, below the fuel rail. My 1998 engine has no such EGR chamber. ETCG has a video on cleaning the EGR passages on the Accord and he’s obviously using the 1996 engine. Cleaning the EGR passages on this engine is quite easy and straightforward. I’ll keep looking!

It’s somewhat helpful but it covers the V-six which has a completely different intake manifold from my 4. Thank you though.

The code is P0401. I only see the one EGR port with the head off the car. I know ETCG has a video on cleaning the EGR ports on the Honda Accord but he shows a different 4-cyl. model. In his video he moves the fuel rail out of the way and it exposes a plate. He removes the plate and can then access 4 ports. My 98 4 cylinder has no such arrangement. Just the one port at the distributor end of the intake manifold. How would that one plugged port affect only cylinder 2? Like I said, the other 3 cylinders are carboned up quite a bit like the computer was trying to compensate for the one lean cylinder. I did adjust the valves after reassembly (at 208K miles) the last time and again 3K miles after (so 211K). Figured the lapping of the valves may result in a need for an early adjustment. Nothing was out of spec though at 211K.
