'98 Accord EX V-6. Code PO401 - insufficient EGR flow. TSB/retrofit
exists for this involving drilling-over EGR port in plenum, installing
sleeve, etc. Done that part. Here's the rest: I removed and began
DISASSEMBLING the EGR valve itself. Yes, you read correctly. I
removed the 3(or 4?) small bolts and nuts that hold the metal mounting
base to the upper electrical part in an attempt to COMPLETELY
diassemble the valve into 2 basic pieces. However the metal plunger/
bypass ass'y connects the two portions and there is a high-heat metal-
foil gasket in between...now damaged, obviously. I either need to get
this bitch all the way apart (I can't seem to) and replace the gasket
OR find a suitable RTV (copper?) OR just replace the whole valve.
Obviously I would like to reverse my disassembly and repair/replace
the gasket. So let's run with that. Thanks. Kevin.

i'd cut your time losses and just get a new valve from a junkyard.

egr valves can run very hot - the rtv gasket stuff won't cope. they
don't usually need much more than a good internal scraping to get the
soot out. you can do this without the disassembly you've done. just
use some vacuum hose connected to the diaphragm opener to suck open the
valve pintle, then you can use a needle to remove the accumulation.

check the hype re. ABS
it was supposed to be the greatest safety advance since the
seatbelt...

indeed.

e.s.c. hype somehow completely misses the fact that since the exploder
fiasco, not only frod but many other suv manufacturers have transitioned
to lower vehicles with wider wheel bases and even more importantly,
independent rear suspension. with that and mandatory driver skid
training, you could do without e.s.c. tpms and abs too.

an interesting abs quote:

"Risk compensation

Anti-lock brakes are the subject of some experiments centred around risk
compensation theory, which asserts that drivers adapt to the safety
benefit of ABS by driving more aggressively. In a Munich study, half a
fleet of taxicabs was equipped with anti-lock brakes, while the other
half had conventional brake systems. The crash rate was substantially
the same for both types of cab, and Wilde concludes this was due to
drivers of ABS-equipped cabs taking more risks, assuming that ABS would
take care of them, while the non-ABS drivers drove more carefully since
ABS would not be there to help in case of a dangerous situation. A
similar study was carried out in Oslo, with similar results."

Simple TPMS systems operate by using the ABS system to detect
differences in tire rotation and add no weight, only minimal
complexity and that idiot light on the dash. My 1998 Sienna had that.
In 250,000 miles it provided useful information twice and probably
saved a tire once. However, it failed to detect small pressure drops
due to slow leaks. I'd find these first.
My 2010 Sienna has a new TPMS; using detectors in each wheel, costing
me $38 each when installed by The Tire Rack. I have to get these
sensors initialized at the dealership before they'll work Presumably,
this new system will detect slow leaks. We'll see.

Was there *any* data to support that <ridiculous> conclusion?

So we all drive more recklessly because we have seat belts? Door crash
bars? Rear view mirror? ...

technically, we almost certainly do.
