Re: I'v been cleaning my EGR wrong
The key to cleaning the EGR is to make sure the pintel is free. This is done be using a stright tip screw driver and you put the pintle in and out and spray it too.
And you are correct you should spray the small hole, that tube exits right behind the throttle body butterfly.
It ws mentioned here and in the FAQ's that you can put a clear plastice flexiable tube over the exit EGR tube and then flush it; so the junk won't flush into the engine, but rather onto the ground (or a collection dish).
Other areas to keep an eye on is the PCV (I spray mine out with carb cleaner every 1k or so). Watch the oil (and change it before 3k).
Check out Diffy vent tubes to make sure they are not plugged up.
And watch your alt, since you are up there in miles.
