I got HONDA ACCORD 1996 saloon manual patrol. Few weeks back engine management light came up, I showed it to a local mechanic and he said it’s because of your EGR valve. Before that my car needs water for reradiate now and then. I took my car for 200 miles (emergency family visit) on the motorway it started stalling I got it checked and dealer told me its your head gas kit. So he changed Head Gas Kit and cam belt as well. I drove the car back and engine management light came up again. I checked the code manually it’s 12 which is for EGR valve. I get the EGR valve replaced with an other Honda but light came up again even after clearing it. So problem is not with EGR valve but something else. Car drives superb. Some one told me it could be “solenoid”. I’m not sure. I would appreciate if you could please help me with detailed answer on rmunir@hotmail.co.uk . Thanking you, Regards ..Riz

Have you checked the vacuum hose at your EGR valve solenoid?
If you have vacuum there, the solenoid is probably bad- that code usually points to a loss of vacuum at solenoid or solenoid itself.
