What is your question?
I just cleaned my EGR valve on an Acura 3.5RL. It was running rough and feels like its going to stall. Now I am told I have to run it at 55-60m/h for two trips. My question is how long is the trip should be? Also I am told I have to de-accelerate it during this trip whats is the catch. I noticed also first the idling was at 7r/min and now it dropped to 5r/min. When I accelerate high and I let go the acceleration sometime it stalls and it will start right up. The car vibrate very unusual. What could be the problem my check engine light is flashing? Please advise

Sounds like your having some misfire issues. Get it scanned for the codes, then post them.
Follow prof. G's suggestion!!!! Flashing MIL means damage to cat will occur.
My Acura 3.5RL 1998 California Built has 200K miles and it was running good, however it started using too much fuel/gas and misfiring issues. The timing belt & water pump was replaced at 125K mile. Had a misfire and consuming more gas than usual. One of the spark plugs had little oil on it. I have replaced my Part No.: 98079-5515H SPARK PLUG (PK16PR-L11) (DENSO) and the car is sounding normally, the misfire is gone, however I let the car run for about 15 minutes the idling was fine at about .700rpm and it then dropped after I accelerated and revving up to 4000rpm; I let go and idling dropped to below .500rpm and then to 0 and the car shut down. I started the car and revving up again then I noticed blue smoke from the exhaust and it lasted for about 2 minutes I reved again and again then it shut down. You know I forgot to say I also cleaned the ERG valve with some brake cleaner its nice a clean. I re-started the car and its running ok no vibration however the idle is staying on 0.700rpm but if I accelerate it varies between 0.700 and low below 0.500rpm. I am wondering what could be the problem. The check engine light went out and its back again. The SRS light is on I remember I am supposed to drive the car up to 60 miles/h on and off for two trips, is this something I could do? Also I notice its using quite some gas than normal just when its idling. Also I noticed kinger some blue smoke from the area of the ERG valve not sure if its from the break cleaner I used. Please I appreciate your input.You can e-mail me at chakabhamu@gmail.com. Thanks. Read more at: http://www.obd-codes.com/forums/posting.php?mode=post&f=22 I have to report that the following codes have been reported for misfiring P 1304, P 1305,and P 1306 misfiring. Also I have the following codes showing P 0300, and P 1399. Now I am not sure how to handle this i have tested all coils and the are working properly. The spark plugs for cylynder 4, 5 and 6 are not receiving any power. The car is running on three cylnders for now and it using too much fuel. Thanks to the Proffessor you are very right. Now way forward I an consulting an electrician to see if he can tell me whats the problem. It seems some rates got into the car and missed up with the cables I have noticed the protector for the wood was chewed wuite a bit. Copyright © OBD-Codes.com
Let me try that and see and I will let you know. Can I drive it to the location about 3 miles. Also I noticed the SRS light is also flashing and sometimes it stays on and then goes off. Thank you.
You have driven it this far. 3 miles shouldn't hurt. The SRS needs to be scanned by a professional scanner.
The guy gave me the following codes P1201 (71) Random Misfire – Cylinder 1 and P1304 (74) Random Misfire – Cylinder 4, but the guy is not telling me which cylinders are not firing. What other test should I apply? Thanks.
Misfire on #1 and #4, usually a voltage issue.
