Hello old friend, we meet again 
Firstly - thanks for the reply! All I want to log is EGR error. I was doing so with my phone and torque which showed the error to be as much as -92% and as high as 68%. Problem is my el cheapo Bluetooth obd adapater broke. Now I'm left with a usb obd2 cable and obviously vcds (purchased when I had my bora) is no good for Honda!
Now you'll crucify me for this as I am by all accounts an amateur, but I want to see if its continually out, as I believe the EGR may be coked up in rubbish and needing a clean. Symptoms - Laggy and feels down on power.

I want to see if its definitely misbehaving as I'll need to order gaskets to do it.
Besides the odd bit of mild rib poking, I do try to help in a (hopefully) more in-depth way so that you can make a more complete diagnosis. On a scale of about 0-5, you're a 1.5 going by all the other things you should have checked out in the other thread. I was slightly unkind as what you did there is actually a small step up from a 'netforum part swapper.
I might be able to help you more if you gave me the exact vehicle model & year, if I can find the relevant info I will tell you the other things I personally would look for that may have influence on your diagnosis.
Its a 2008 civic I-CTDI 2.2, currently has 40k on the clock, only had 33 when I got it four months ago so I have a feeling its been a town car previously and from reading threads on the civic owners forum the egr does gunk up pretty bad on these.
I need to take a look / log maf amongst other things! It genuinely feels more lively when cold (no I don't beat it cold) but it picks up much nicer and the EGR is shut permanently whilst cold.
Thanks for your time mate

I logged the run from work to home, here is a small segment of EGR requested vs Error :
And another section
Blue is requested EGR, red is error.
Not sure if this helps. I can't get it in my head whether + error means too much egr opening or too little though! Logic says the first?
