pacman_03

Hi guys, need a little help. My 03 civic ran fine and then one day it dies at a stoplight. It was hard to start, had to give it gas and keep it above 2000 rpms to keep it running. Check engine light came on and threw a misfire code and a P1491 EGR Valve Insufficient Lift code. I changed the EGR Valve, checked the plugs and reset the codes. Car started up and ran fine, good idle, no more stalling out. Drove the car later that day, got about 3-4 miles from home and it did the same thing, would not idle, dies when I push in the clutch and hard to restart. I was able to drive it around town to see if it would throw another code, but nothing yet. Any help on where to look next would really helpful, Thanks.

Clogged ports, most likely.

You'll need to remove the intake manifold.
