Hello everyone,

Working on my 2000 Insight MT 95K and still having some jerking problems. So I am looking at the EGR valve to possibly fix the problem. The EGR has been cleaned before in the life of this car but not sure when. So I attempting to clean the EGR by spraying electronic terminal cleaner into the top portion but I am not sure how to cycle the EGR from open to closed. I have five terminals to put the positive and negative leads too but from reading the threads I didn't read about where to put your positive and negative leads. I can just use the regular 12v car battery for this correct?

These are the 5 terminals/connections

So where do I attach gator clips too?

Cheers!

It very well could be original to the car! Where did you find the EGR for 30 bucks???

I still would like to try to clean it perhaps. The EGR on my 98 accord is stock with 205K (never been cleaned). I believe I can switch them out but I would rather not do that at this time.

Thanks Balto!

You can just unplug it?!?!? That's an awesome way to possibly check it.

Thanks Olrowdy01, I went through some spare parts and I did find a EGR from an accord I lifted from a junkyard find. They are slightly different, but I put that one and it drives so much better. Slight jerkiness every once and a while. I might be replacing this again in the future to possible rid this plague of a problem.

Thanks everyone

Great detailed video Jeffffej.

I will probably clean the top portion like you did and see if that rids the problem completely.

Happy driving!

Seems like I get a little jerkiness when the car is warmed up and I have to try to make it jerk for me but overall it drives like it should. I will come back and clean it and if that doesn't change anything it will be replaced.

Appreciate all the words everyone!
