I have a 99 Honda Accord EX Coupe, V6, 3.0L and its been good to me for 3 years, but now I'm having some problems...

An engine light and a DRL light recently came on so I took it into Honda, and they said I need a new EGR and a DRL relay. They quoted $199 + 2 hours of labour for the EGR kit and install, and $149 + 1 hour of labour for the DRL relay and install.

Are these problems that would be worth fixing myself to save the money, or is it a good idea to have them fix them? If I do it myself, should I buy the parts from Honda or an aftermarket place?

I found one thing online saying I just need to re-solder the relay connection points. Would this work??

Where could I find DIY instructions to fix these?

Thanks for the help!

 

Here is the TSB regarding the EGR:

I'll see if I can find info. for the DRL relay.

 

For the DRL problem, first check for blown fuses, otherwise replace the DRL control module, or you can try to re-solder like what this guy did.

Thanks!

 

Thanks again!

Do you know where I could find an online fuse digram for my car?

it should be 150-200 for them to provide u the egr kit and install it too.

 

Thanks for the help guys.
One more question, how would this problem be affecting the performance of my car, and what would happen if I just left it?

 

possibly loss of hp and mpg.
