See the Honda iCTDi video, the inlet is split into two so half of is is controlled by an intake swirl valve. EGR and intake feed all ports. The reason why they will have blocked will be due to air velocity through the manifold. It will be slower where it has blocked.

Good job buddy, thank you for video.

Thanks for the video. I got a Honda Civic 2.2 Hatchback and a P2006 code with it and I'm gonna clear the intake and EGR as well to see if I can get that away. It has 300k km and very likely it may have never been cleaned.

let me know how it looks inside ... for my accord one of the ports was completely clogged up

That the car has problems until you clean the egr, I have the same one and I found the egr clogged, check on it limits my power and it goes into limp mode if I accelerate it and it is limited to 2k /min with you av

I've had the P2004 code show up couple of times and thought previously that the gasses from the egr went through the flap part. Could the carbon build up so that the flap can't move properly? I am planning on doing the whole intake and egr cleaning but I just realized from this video that you can remove the flap part only, is this right?

I don't think that you can get the flap that dirty. you will get the deposits mostly in the intake port + valves + intake plume n1/2 of it. I am curious what you find on your car.

So im going to be doing this soon on my 2015 328d sportwagon, but i have a code that pops up for cylinder1 injector learning maxxed out, it comes and goes but the car never has performance issues that i notice. Any idea what it may be? Slightly Clogged injector trying to compensate for loss of volume due to clog? Fuel filter and water separator already changed, air filter changed, oil always at 5000 miles. Transmission fluid, pads, rotors and transfer case all replaced. EGR was replaced under recall. The guys at the shop did spill oil all over the engine once when filling it and i've wondered it that could have seeped down into the hole and caused some sort of an issue?

never had that type of issue, you will need to use the feedback from ISTA to troubleshoot.

Do you notice major improvements? Mine has 300.000 km and running pretty well, but I think at least EGR cleaning would be a nice operation with its mileage.

Is the removal of the egr in the 2012 i-dtec Accord the same as in your model?

:) don't know. the principles are similar... you take it out, you clean it and put it back. the 2012 i would expect to have electronic control vs vacuum on the old

I have 2008 same car, I would like to do the same clean but wouldn't want to take apart all the wiring and fuel line incase I can't remember how to put back together. Mine has 120k miles, runs good but I bet it is caked in soot just the same. I live Manchester. Hint hint 😉

you can't do it without removing the intake. I have seen some guys advertising a special foam that you put in the intake and it might help. never tried it. don't worry to much about not knowing how to put them back, they are designed to fit easily back, you will see that it is much more simple to refit that to remove. just take your time

@@BestCarMods Don't you have a manual fuel pump to prime the system? I believe it is not good to crank the engine so much without because the high pressure diesel pump is running "dry" and could get damaged. Otherwise good job for the manifold cleaning! I want to clean mine too (2007 Civic) but my mechanic doesn't want to do it - says there is no point since the car doesn't have obvious problems. Still I think there is something wrong - engine shakes too much on shutdown but I don't know if it is related.
