My 2000 Honda Odyssey failed inspection due to EGR Valve, EVAP 2 way valve, 3rd clutch pressure switch and a bypass cylinoid. Repair will cost $900.00. Is it worth it to repair it? 219,000 miles on it currently.

My vote is "yes". A 2000 anything is better than a new anything. Your van still has a bunch of expensive, unreliable, complicated computers, but not nearly so bad as the newer vehicles. I have newer cars, but my daily driver is a 1988 Grand Caravan that has been extremely reliable. It has all the typical toys and gimmicks but only one Engine Computer.

$900.00 is about three monthly payments on a new car, but those payments keep coming for many years. If your van has been reliable up to now, keep driving it. If it has regularly given you problems, this might be the opportunity to trade it.
