There is a guide floating around that I can send you which shows the procedure for cleaning the EGR chamber which btw isn't that trivial since Honda didn't make a removable chamber until '94. (You have to port holes, clean the holes, then use a specific Honda plug for these holes)
Let me know.
The only code i am getting is from the o2 reading really crazy bought a new one yesterday from the honda dealer its a bosch sensor so it may be better then the NTK one it had on. I don't think the egr has anything to do with the piston melting mine has never been cleaned and i run a little lean and have no problems yet, but of course mines is a daily car automatic that take to work no more then 3000 rpm ever i baby this thing for ever. She has to last to 300,000 miles at least cause i don't want a new car need a house first. Thanks for your reply.
