Here's the video I made of the butterfly closing and opening:

You shouldn't remove the 4 torx screws on the EGR. They don't give access for you to clean it. The solution is to remove it from the engine altogether (you'll have to remove the air filter box). About the butterfly, you can easily see if it's stuck. Just move it yourself, with the engine off...

Just in from a ride of about 40/50 miles. Tried everything, the cruising around mode at low speeds, let it iddle for a good while, to rise temperature, turn the engine off, turn it on again, give it a good run at 125 mph for 5 minutes. No light. I bet will stay off until the 19th February...

Jesus, cleaned the air intake ports yesterday and... why do we even bother to have an air filter!!! I had cleaned it before and the first time it was worst, but either ways this is crazy! Gunk all over the place!. Noticed something strange though. I also removed the pipe that comes from the EGR...

Jesus, we have around 3º C degrees in the morning and at night. During the day, probably 13º C, and for us that quite cold!

Thanks! I'll be leaving the car to Honda for diagnose, if the IMRC it's still under warranty. Otherwise, Fahad your egr-off service can become a solution.

Just discovered that in Portugal they don't measure CO2, they measure something like fumes density.

Really? Didn't know that. If not, I can always put the original file in the day of the car inspection.

From what I've seen, they rev the car up quite a bit (and for a few seconds) to do the test, probably 3000 rpm or around there, while the probe is in the tail pipe.

Thanks Fahad. Might be something to consider, but I don't have the equipment to upload the new rom to the ECU and here in Portugal we have the exhaust test in the car inspection. Can the EGR off compromise the exhaust emissions test? On the other hand, the error is showing up more often...

Yep, that's the price. Take a look here for removing the door panel. http://clubhondaspirit.com/jacobator/pdf/Desmontar_Puerta_Delantera_by_parruso.pdf It's in spanish, maybe you can use google translate on it.

;)

Take a look at the catalogue: IE Power

I'm using iepower tail pipes and they're good quality and they have a huge range of models. Here in Portugal we have a website for a the brand, represented by Interescape. Take a look.http://iepower.interescape.com/catalogo/ponteiras/?id=P_1 Don't know if it pays off including posting, but...

About the supermarket diesel, I suppose they, somewhere in the process, separate the two types of fuel before adding other beneficent substances. Other way, I think it would be much more costly for them to have two producing lines of fuel.

Ok, in the last two cars she had, she managed to I-don't-know-how pass over a plastic shopping bag, that got glued to the (hot) exhaust system, right in the middle of the car. She did the same with the present one. lol It smells quite a lot, when it's hot.

Great job!

Most certainly, yes. I've replaced one myself, but not an easy job to do.

^ Yep, not good at all for your engine!
