is carb cleaner good for EFI systems?
I was wondering about getting some carb cleaner to use on my EGR system. It is getting kinda sticky but the can says that it is not best for EFI systems should I get it? I really dont want to mess up my EFI system on my van. Any suggestions?

Yea, STP makes fuel injector cleaner. Stay on the safe side, and have fun.

Re: is carb cleaner good for EFI systems?
It's OK to use carb cleaner on the EGR valve, but only if you remove it from the engine and you make sure not to get any on the diaphragm or the pintle shaft, which may be coated with a permanent lubricant that the carb cleaner will dissolve. Do not spray carb cleaner into the intake or on the throttle body. The throttle body in particular has a teflon coating, which the carb cleaner will also dissolve.
