Greetings to all, I have a 98 Accord EX V6. Had the intake ports cleaned and bored out per the TSB at ~45,000 miles, no charge. Well...at 88,500 the check engine light went on again, and the code was related to the intake ports (again) and the EGR. I spoke to the tech himself who seemed very knowledgeable, said this happens commonly at ~90k miles. Ports cleaned and EGR replaced to the tune of $265. My question to the forum is: do any of those after market "valve cleaners" etc reduce the frequency of this port clogging that is inherent in the Accord V6 engines. If so, then what products are good?/ Thanks!! Matthew
