When the CEL stays on (no blinking) in self-diagnostic mode and off in normal mode, that means that no codes are stored. Make sure your "BACK UP" fuse in the box next to the battery is OK. The ECU cannot remember any codes without the back up power.

Also make sure the spark timing was adjusted in self-diagnostic mode, not normal mode. It will be way off adjusting it in normal mode.

Not sure about a Civic but most cars with EGR you can reach under the vacuum diaphraghm on the valve actuator and feel it moving to open and close the valve. It should move up (opening) when you rev the engine and close at idle. If you force the valve open by hand at idle, the engine should slow down or stall. This can also be done by applying vacuum to the hose after disconnecting it from the controls on the firewall. If the valve does these things you can be fairly confident the EGR system is OK.
