Depends on the vehicle. They usually do not go bad. I know that some vehicles are pron to EGR problems, not the valve. The EGR port gets clogged, causing a vehicle to run poor. The port can be cleaned, I just had mind done on my 2000 Accord V6. The vehicle has not sputtered or had a bad start since.

How do you replace the egr valve on a 1992 Honda Accord EX?

1) Unplug the electrical connector for the EGR valve lift sensor. 2) Remove the two nuts that secure the EGR valve and detach the valve. 3) Clean the mating surfaces of the EGR valve and adapter. 4) Install the EGR valve using a new gasket. Tighten the nuts securely. 5) Plug in the electrical connector. These instructions come from the Haynes repair manual for Honda Accord 1990-1993 which also has good illustrations.


If you have changed your egr valve and deleted the code and it still reads p0401 egr valve insuffasante flow what do you do now?

You also need to clean the "passages". EGR valve puts exhaust gas back into the engine intake under less than full power situations. When that happens exhaust deposits build up on the walls of the passages. Replacing the EGR valve was only half the repair, you also need to clean it out. There is a tube from under the EGR valve to the exhaust manifold. That is probably blocked.
