h22 check engine light due to EGR Valve right?

[deevergote]

oh okay i'll do that next time when it comes on

BTW any pics of the EGR? and where is it and what's it purpose i haven't really studied that b4?

but yeah i used one of those paperclips with the colored condom on there but i peeled off both Sides but THAT should still work right? if not then im going to Find a ALL 100% metal one

All metal is best. Or wire, as suggested.

EGR is Exhaust Gas Recirculation. It's an emissions device that sends a portion of your exhaust gasses back into the engine to be burned again.

In terms of performance, it's actually not a great thing (just about ANYTHING emissions related negatively affects performance) It is necessary if you want the car to be legal, though (and not kill the planet!)

Don't swap anything just yet.

If it's not blinking, then the paper clip isn't making full contact.

If you want, cut that connector off and just connect the wires. That ensures a solid connection.

If you want, you can install a switch.

You bastard, now i have to do that. That is an awsome Idea. Since ill be temp. running the jdm p13 with the C plug. Ill have a CEL all the time, so i can check it easily.

running the jdm p13 with the C plug. Ill have a CEL all the time

can you explain that

[JohnD1079]

can you explain that

The USDM motors have only 3 plugs in the ECU. JDM ones have 4, one for the Traction control I think. Code 41 i beleive it is. I cant confirm this, but mine has it.

USDM has plugs A,B,D. JDM has A,B,C,D

i just drove it about less than 10 minutes away and no light

i even raced my friend in his volkswagen

story

Red light
roll down windows and ask him if he wanted to run (race)
and he's like Nah my car is fucked up it doens't run..laughing and then
at green he floors and i was like WTF so i throw it in first and past him like a
plane and then throw it in Second Screching tires and whooping his ass

it was like a golf or something
looked fast

and then he turns right when i was turning left and gives thumbs up

[cvc7chris]

Ok guess what the EGR valve IS NOT!! connected to anything it's just there ?

i can like hook a hose up to it but where does it go to on a h22a since ya said the H22a does have a egr valve

pics would be awesome of yas h22a egr valve hooked up

[cvc7chris]

quick google search ends up with this

this looks like a h22a with a egr valve right?

but where does it go on the h22 ?

[Camurai]

I believe there's a vacuum line that should run from your EGR lift solenoid. I'm not sure exactly where it goes on an H22 Accord, since I've never worked on one. The line looks like it should run alongside your fuel rail, probably to a vacuum assembly somewhere on the driver's side of the car.



You can see the vacuum line sticking up in the air on this H22 IM.

[cvc7chris]

i see the vaccum line that goes to the Intake which is not connected but i don't really see one for the EGR

where all the H22'ers

[StockAccord]

When does the CEL comes on? try using speaker wire cause my prelude had a CEL and i used paperclip. It didnt show nothing, until i used speaker wire and the code pop up.

[cvc7chris]

oh wtf

i tried speaker wire and it works

i got a long like FIRST one and two short ones with is i guess 12?

idk

Whaddya know... 12 is EGR

[cvc7chris]

cel 12

12 EGR - exhaust gas recirculation lift valve

okay its weird how my H22 HAS A EGR VALVE but my F22a1 doesn't i mean i can't find the EGR VALVE

i think it's the same one im looking at right ?

how do i hook it up ?

i see it. it's near the fuel rail and it has a little plug but no hose you know

[nolehorridus]

plug, vacuum line, 2 nuts/bolts

[cvc7chris]

2 nuts?

pics ? maybe
