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
