I want to know what exactly is inside the EGR? I dont know if anyone here has ever redone an engine, but when you have it taken apart the top of the cyclnder head usually has carbon build up on it. Well i usually spray throttle body cleaner on it, then light it on fire to burn off the carbons. I wonder if you could do that to the EGR valve and the tube going to the exhuast manifold.
