Guys,  
  
 I have a 2001 Honda Accord V6. The check engine light is on and occasionally the TCS light comes on for a few mins. then goes off. I’ve been to Autozone and used the diagnostic meter, it indicates a clogged or malfunctioning EGR Valve. I replaced the EGR Valve and reset the Check Engine light. The check engine light came back on. Is there some kind on engine cleaner I can use to clean out the the EGR Valve port?

Same code or different code? Can you post it here in the “P0123” format? Cleaning can’t hurt but is not likely to help. Is the scheduled maintenance in your owner’s manual up to date?
