i had the egr recall done on my car on feb. 2007 and conveniently the check engine light came on again (2 years from the above date, march 09), and i had the mechanic shop down the street check the code out for me for free. it came out as: egr insufficient flow. good thing i had just done my smog check on feb. 2009. it hasn't affected the performance of the car , but that bright orange check engine light is annoying. i'm just waiting for summertime when work is out to waste my time at the Honda dealership and get it fixed AGAIN. any suggestions, comments, info send it my way...
Update from May 26, 2009: 2/2007 check engine light came on. was an egr error code. had to pay ~$91 to clean out the valves... was under warranty 8yr/80000 mile for the egr recall. now it is 3/2009 and the check engine light came on again with the egr error code again po401 [egr insufficient flow] i'll keep u informed with the outcome

i took off at a green light, and all of a sudden i noticed that the check engine light came on. i didn't notice any difference in the performance of the vehicle. i pulled over but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. i took it to a mechanic and it read the code being the egr. he said it would be about $300 to fix and it needed to be fixed in order to pass the smog test. i did some research online and noticed that my car was still under warranty for the egr port recall. i took it to the downey Honda dealership and they checked and performed the egr recall and drilled egr ports and reset the code and rechecked it. in doing this recall i had to fork out of my own pocket the intake system service- flush intake manifold runners and intake valves, clean fuel and injectors for $91.65. that check engine light has not come on ever since. that was in feb. 2007, it is now dec. 2008

dealer is saying it's not a problem and it may be a loose gas cap. we were told by another honda customer that it may be a sensor problem. It is under warranty for only 30 days and the check engine light keeps coming on!!! Does anyone know what the problem may be so we can put our foot down before the 30 days are up??
