egr valve replaced, now what?

On a 2000 accord 4 cyl vtec, I have replaced the EGR valve but the check engine light and "insufficiant air flow" code keeps poping up.
what do I check next?

You need to split the top off the intake and clean the port where the red arrow points

Thank you for the diagram!
I was affraid of that, itlooked to bethe most likely spot. I tried to snake it out from the egr valve side but it's to steep of angle.
Any tricks to getting to the back bolts?
