So this would actually be beter for the car when not fully on the throttle.
I would have to reinstall the egr when it come time for a inspection right ?
I just got new egr gasket and plan on atleast cleaning it out today.
My intake was totally cruded when I did the porting and I never cleaned the egr.
I clogged egr will have a noticable performance loss on part throttle or full throttle ?

The EGR pulls in clean air from the intake, not nasty air from the exhaust = no CEL
And as for the avatar, deal with it

I just removed my egr to inspect and clean.
Do I seperate the botom block of it to clean it.
Will brake cleaner f anything up ?
Is their any way of telling it's not working properly with it off the car?
It does have build up.
Also I got 2 gaskets that the part store had for it.
One has 2 little holes ? and one don't,like mine now.
What the differnce?

well I turned it from the allen screw on the botom and it was rough to turn.
I removed the botom block screws and pulled as far as it would go while keeping the unit together and it made a pop,and then poped back together .
Now turning the screw,it turns free.
Tom,if I pull the manifold top plate and sqwirt brake cleaner down the egr port then air, it will come out where the egr valve is mounted, right ?
Now that the egr valve is off it looks like it would look hot with the egr block off plate and save a couple lbs with out it.

I cleaned the egr valve, and the whole port again.
The car idles way beter from a cold start up and the slight shuttering on part throttle is smoother now.
Even with the engine temp up it seams to pull harder.
Maybe it's my imagination but,I think it helped alot.

I used to love Seafoam running through the intake until someone told me something that makes a shit load of sense.
All that garbage in your intake gets washed away by the SeaFoam, but where does it go? Out the exhaust. Which means it has to go through the cat.
Id much rather use good fuel and quality oil to keep it clean rather then relying on SeaFoam to do it for me and possibly clog the cat.

plus the price of a cat is better then the price of an engine rebuild.

Yea, but as I said if you continue to use high quality fuel you wont have to worry about either.
