98hxman, I drove a '97 HX for about 5 years. Had a lot of fun with it.

I never cleaned out the egr manifold on it and wish I had. When it's even partly clogged it makes it really hard to hold car in lean burn. If you didn't already clean it, be sure you do that while you have things apart. It's on the back side of the engine. On the HX I'm told its below the injectors so you have to pull them to get to the egr manifold. You can count on it being mucked up, unless you cleaned it yourself. Good to clean the egr valve too of course.
