P0401, 1999 Acura TL Honda V6 – EricTheCarGuy
Another request that I was happy to fill. You will run into a couple of different configurations on this code for the Honda V6, this in my opinion is the more difficult one as it requirers removing the intake manifold to clean the passage, the newer style just requirers that you remove a plate on the top of the intake and clean out the passages that way, I hope to make a video on that should I run into it again.

what would be the potential problem if I cleaned up everything plus replaced the EGR valve, but the code p0401 comes back again?
👍🏼👍🏼thank you sr.
By cleaning the EGR passage did that eliminate the misfire codes as well?
You know how I can release the fuel pressure in a 99 Honda Accord V6? I replaced the fuel filter but the pressure is still built up in the engine which causes it to surge while driving. I cant even maintain certain speeds without pressing on the gas.
can you do a video on where the fuel pressure regulator is on a 99 accord v6 sedan ?

trying this tonite on my 2000 honda. wish me well. first timer.
You torque down the nuts on top?
God bless yah mate👏🏼
Looks to me like it would be a good idea to clean out both ports at the same time that way if the EGR is bad then all you got to do is get a new one
What about 97 Acura TL 3.2 ? Use same gasket ?
Doing mine now. Has code 401 and 1709. Acura did have a recall that is now “ Dead” for the 1709. Gear shift sticking. I’m livid because this is not that hard but time consuming and I paid someone to replace all plugs coils and gaskets due to oil leak. Some stuff you just do yourself because having a trusty mechanic or taking to the dealer (Honda will not work on Acura) Acura dealer only. So thanks for this and I’ll post my own as well , not as detailed as yours but if u have a video of the 1709 email it to me. Thanks ERIC 💯💯Aye🎥” the weird thing is my engine light isn’t even on. It was at one time. Went and got another Acura from a friend and had to fix the iacv and v tech solenoid. 5 speed rsx. Broke bolt in the solenoid so I’m out here fixing my baby. 💯💯👋🏼
I don't have any codes but trying to get my gas mileage up so I got new egr valve and o2 sensors. Question is do I need to take the plenum off to replace egr valve? 05 tl 3.2
I hate wearing gloves. But I hate having to clean my hands thoroughly
Eric i have a 03 Acura tl base model and I'm having multiple misfires on all 6 cylinders, so far i have replaced the spark plugs, ignition coils, egr valve and still have the check engine light on not really sure what it could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Would this fault cause the TCS light to come on🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Very nice job! Thank you.
Can you do this without takeing of the thottle bod
My 1999 Acura TL temp gage goes to about 3/4’s up when my car has stopped and goes back 1/2 way down when I’m driving. I noticed one fan turnes on for about 10 sec and then goes off. What could it be? Please help
I replaced this on my car but now the car revs up and down on its own. video on my page. need help please.
Excellent informative video. Great technical narration and aptitude. Thanks so much Eric.
I’ve heard seafoam can potentially fix this issue without taking apart the engine. Is this true?
Been having a crank no start issue with my 98 Accord. Seems if i tap ego valve it will start. Gonna pull egr off this weekend and give it a clean and possibly pull intake off and clean the passage as well. It’s a 3.0 so I’m assuming it’s same procedure as you did here. Wish me luck!
estimate for a job like this at a shop
Just worked for 2002 Accord v6. If you're competent please use Honda 06175-P8C-A01 EGR Pipe Kit as described in the video. 42.00 for aftermarket version kit. Clean from top to bottom ie. Intake port to EGR valve.
Just finished. EGR port completely clogged. Thanks for the video.
I need to do this to my 2001 honda accord. Do you really care to torque the fasteners on at the required torque, or did you just tighten them down a bit?
U sir are the shit
Excellent video and I really appreciated all your repair Technics .God blessed you all.
This is what causes these Acura trouble to start it up ?
What's the purpose of that metal sleeve?
