I posted this , because i felt it needed itd own thread. but here it is for my build thread.

I have had the car for about a month. and it has ~162K miles on it and I have averaged about 54mpg. not bad, just nowhere near what I was hoping for from a 5 speed 02 insight.

ON WITH BUSINESS!!!

Here is a step by step guide, if anyone needs it.

EGR Plate Removal/Cleaning - With Pics - Insight Central: Honda Insight Forum

dear lord. one passage was 100% blocked. the other 2 . 85-95%

This was the gasket..

and a nasty PCV Valve...

Well. I am a little embarrassed... I cant believe how bad it got.
MUCH better.

and yes... this the OLD NASTY gasket.

.

Here are the rusults.

This is on, a single loop. With a 10-12 mph wind from the south.

48-58 mph, ~91F after dark (2am, no traffic)
the bright yellow road 289.
