Default EGR plugged, Engine stutters, easy fix?

I found the service article that talks about drilling out the ports to clean the EGR passageways for the engine stutter between 1500-1900 RPM's.

Does anyone know of an easier way or a work around that doesn't require me to take the chance of messing up my intake?

Again, what year and sub-model Accord.
Most F22Bx's after '92 don't make it easy, what with the ERG manifold being where it is. It isn't all that bad tho, requiring the fuel rail and injectors to take a powder (of sorts) to gain access.

So no magic fixes?

You mean like "Mechanic in'a Can"? Nope, sorry.
There should be a write-up in the FAQ section. I'll see if I can find the link.

Look in here. Just in case, disconnect your O2 Sensor and see if the problem goes away.

They said they do it for $110 but I hate paying people to do something if I can do it.

I wish mine just had the plugs, I guess for a year or two they didn't put the removable plugs. Mine also happens to be the year where you have to rip the entire front suspension apart to replace the rotors.

Welcome to the "Why'd they do it like that, Club"
A mantra well known to Honda owners.

So in your case you took the entire intake off?
