Default EGR port cleaning post??

Hi,
I know I don't post or is it I haven't posted anything yet.. sorry for that ,I will go do an intro after this. My sons car, 1998 Accord EX has the check engine light coming on. it throws the code P0401
we replaced the EGR valve and still the light glows... I found a post about how to clean the EGR ports but it seems to be a bad link. If anyone has the info can you post it for us?
We are proud owners of 2 Hondas.. a1998 Accord and my 2007 Ridgeline.
thanks
JAC

here's where the port is plugged up [pic] You need to pull off the throttle body and clean out the other port of the throttle body as well;

Oh sorry about the wrong pic. There is a service bulletin about the V-6 problem.
I'll try to post it.
