Hi All,

Could anyone please confirm if fault code P1491 is "EGR Valve Lift Insufficient Detected" indeed for a 1999 Honda Accord 2.0i engine F20B6? I first had it logged back in April 2013 w/o any symptoms whatsoever. It has just been logged again, and when I stopped at a traffic light in about 300 yards I noticed low idle RPM (circa 400/min) and typical engine vibration when a single cylinder stops firing. When reading fault codes using ELM27 + EasyOBDII I saw "Not OBDII compatible" or something like that displayed before fault code P1491 showed up, hence unsure if it's about the EGR valve malfunction indeed or something completely different.


Many thanks in advance!

It might just be clogged egr valve which would be quite common, give it a clean and clear the code and see if it comes back in which case it might be another EGR related problem.
