Icon2 EGR Port Issue, J30A1 (98 Cp)

Can a clogged EGR Port cause falls emissions code issues (ie: O2 sensors, CAT, EGR Valve), and cause rough idle?

A clogged or inoperable EGR will cause high NOx, and a lean misfire through part throttle, which would cause a spike of all emissions output. EGR is not active during idle so it would normally not cause an idle issue unless a chunk of carbon has blocked the EGR valve open, which then would cause a rough idle.

If you have codes, post them up.
If you have had a recent emissions test, post up all the numbers.

Thanks Mad_Mike
I have a sneaky feeling that the carbon buildup is the main issue. Hopefully once the EGR and port are restored the codes will go away.

P0401 is insufficent EGR flow
P0420 is catalyst below threshold(this will happen if EGR has failed)
P0452 I believe is EVAP, related.
P1491 is related to the EGR solenoid.

IIRC in the ACCORD FAQ at the top of the page there is a link to a thread regarding a warranty issue with EGR function on the J30 Accords. But I have no idea if Honda will now warranty that after 11 years. Eric the carguy on YT has a video on how to clean the EGR on the V6s as well.
