For your car it may be the same set up. For my car I did not have the brass plugs to worry about. All I had to do was pull some intake parts (3 nuts, 5 bolts) and found all the carbon build up. Took me about 1.5 hours and cost me 1 can of carburator cleaner. If you do need the plugs you can go to your honda dealer and get them for about $0.65 a piece, part number 17199-PT3-AHM. A coat hanger works great for scraping the carbon off and out of the ports. I am not a mechanic or anything and I found this fairly easy. |
I had the same issues. Ports were clogged. I also had a check engine light come on - code 22 I think. I tried everything to clear that EGR code, and in the end what did it was I went to a junk yard and for $20 I replaced that little black box with vacuume lines running through it that sits in the front, up near the drives side light and the ABS pumps. Good luck
