Thank you so much. This was super helpful and now my hesitation problem is gone.

Is lacquer thinner ok to use?

So listen, I'm in the middle of doing this right now... And when I got to the part where you pull the hoses off, the smaller one, snapped off right where it comes through the intake manifold. I have yet to proceed further, but I plan on continuing and seeing if I can splice it back together after the manifold is moved out of the way.

Can anyone help me identify which actual part that is, I may be wrong, but I believe it should be in this diagram... Honda Automotive Parts

Basically, I should have known better than to try and do this, because every time I try to fix/do something to my car, by myself, something breaks... GAhhh!! lol

It looks like the "spigot" came loose from the manifold. The manifold is plastic, is the spigot a metal tube? Super glue looks like a simple solution. If you have the manifold off, you could thread in another tube. (Bought from any hardware store)

Yes, the tube is metal that goes through the manifold. I was thinking of just taking it out of the manifold and running hose from metal tube to metal tube around the manifold... or back down through it.

My EGR plate is not very cruddy either, which is sad and leads me to believe it may not actually be the cause of my herky jerky ness! We'll see gotta get cleaning!

Well done

Worked great on my daughter's Insight. Being cheap, I went ahead and re-used the original gaskets, and it is working great.

EGR code was thrown, and it failed the emissions test (Service Engine light bulb had quit working - so I didn't know).

Also "unstuck" the plunger in the EGR valve (car had been sitting for two years), and it passed emissions just fine,and also runs smooth. It was very satisfying to write down my cost of repairs ($0.00) on the emissions re-inspection form.

Thanks Willie. It was back together in no time! Now to get rid of the herky jerky again; unfortunately it wasn't my egr plate mine wasn't any more cruddy than the one hodakguy posted; and those pesky engine codes!
