The exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR) is an emissions control system that recirculates some of the exhaust gas back into the intake in order to re-burn any excess fuel vapor that leaves the engine. It is basically operated by a valve to control circulation. "Valve lift insufficient" means that the valve is not opening enough to circulate exhaust gas as much as the engines computer deems necessary. The vehicle will not pass an emissions test in this condition.

The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system has insufficient flow. It could be caused by the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor being faulty, there t is a blockage in the EGR tube (most likely from carbon buildup), the EGR valve is bad, or the EGR valve may not be opening.
P1491 EGR Valve Lift Insufficient Detected how do i fix this problem?
depending on your mileage, if you have less than 80,000 miles or car is not older than 8 years old the dealer will actually fix it for free. Honda extended the warranty for that. if not it gets complicated you have to remove the intake manifold and drill out the egr passage then replace the valve.
