Thanks for all the info and suggestions yesterday. I pulled the throttle body
off the intake last night and low and behold, the 2 "nostrils were clogged
shut. So I start cleaning them out with a coat hanger just as the article
mention on the Showtimes.
Should I be able to run a coat hanger all the way through to the EGR valve?
There is an alan screw on the back of the intake facing the firewall beside
the EGR valve and I assume that is the plug mentioned in the article. That
sucker wont budge. Can I just remove the EGR valve and clean out the passages that
way? My worry is, if I should be able to run a coat hanger all the way
through those 2 nostrils then I'm doomed because the carbon is paked pretty tight in
there, I can get the coat hanger in about 1/2 inch on each one and thats
about it.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
again
