Maintenance, Engine & Driveline TechThis forum is brought to you by The Speed Syndicate (TSS) in Burnaby. Discussion of maintaining your engine, transmission, differentails, rear ends, and mods associated with "driveline" parts..
Hi my CEL has been on for a while. When my mechanic plugged in his error code reader. It read "Insufficient EGR Flow." He told me it was probably clogged up but it was good to drive and did not require attention right away. A few months have went by and I've been driving casually with this light on and I ask him again if I should try to fix it yet. He told me i dont have to worry about it yet because it doesn't effect the car's performance or the car itself in any way. And it just effected emissions. I was just wondering how much would it cost to repair this? Would it be easier and more worth it to just DIY, should I send my car to another mechanic? How much around would it cost to fix or should I just leave it. Thanks
you will need to fix it sometime before your next AirCare.. because if you leave it too late.. the OBD won't have enough data, you will still get a fail.

Or u pull it apart and clean it out. Could very well just be carbon-ed n the diaphragm is sticking. Do that before u dump $300 on an egr u may or may not need. Posted via RS Mobile
Sounds like EGR ports are plugged. We don't really see much problems with the EGR valves themselves on the preludes.
There's 6 ports that have to be drilled out and cleaned. Then have to be capped off. Fairly common on these preludes and older accords
