Any reconmendations, of a good method to clean a egr valve? Mine wont hold a vacumm. Ive looked around dismantlers, but they are $40 and higher. I need a cheap fix.

Anyone want to send one to me for free? lol.

91 Toyota Tercel , 4 speed manual 1.5 liter EFI, 2 door, white, with a little dirt on the outside, skull sticker on the back window lol. Dont think those things contribute to model.

When cleaning it there is also a metal hose runs from the valve to the intake maniflod clean it mine was cloged all the way, i just took some carb and choke cleaner and take you air box off and clean the throttel body with carb and choke cleaner and a paper towl, you will be suprised, it took me like almost a hole row of towls, lol. It was dirty. just spray and reach in and wipe. Get it the throttel body as far as you can. When i started mine big oh puf of smoke cam out and i ran it for a little gained like 5hp and runs like new now. Check for vaccume leaks while you are at it. Good luck!!

The egr is easy to clean, do a search on it here and you will see how we have done it. Funny about the skull sticker, mine has a skull shifter and that is what eveyone calls my car. The skull.

Thanks cav for the tips. year that metal hose was cloged once, and i did it the hard way with toothpicks lol. Its still dirty so im going to clean it next weekend. Now taking the air box off is going to be a challenge. Never done that before. Im a unexperienced do it yourselfer mechanic. Lean everything by he book or by forum in this case.
