To clean the egr port you only need to remove the exhuast manifold fron the head. Takes about 10 minutes to do so. Remove egr valve and what I do is stick a long flexible bruch (from Menards) and move it in and out from the exhaust side. Then I use a can of carb cleaner to flush the port and blow it dry with an air compessor.

Make sure you 02 sensor is new too.

Is your car and auto or 5-speed? The egr have different part#s Notsure if makes a difference or not. I will check my stock to make sure I have the part# for your type of transmission. I know that rockauto doesn't show a difference in egr's but all the ones I pull in the junk yard are transmission specific

Autos, like mine, only get 25-30 around town in the winter. If yours is a manual, you should be doing better.
