So I decided that I would clean the EGR port today. I have done everything as per the directions on port cleaning in the DIY section. So far no problems...except that after you take the manifold off the engine, the engine part of the intake is just as dirty as the manifold, including the EGR conduct!

How to clean that?

Thanks!

 

Ehh... I sprayed brake cleaner down there. I suppose I should have sprayed it, then used shop air to blow the dirt out.

 

Oh for the EGR, I think you need to remove the EGR, then maybe a metal brush and cleaner down the tube.

 

Is it ok to just spray it with carb cleaner?
But how do you rinse all that crap from out of there?

 

the manifold is removed from the engine - so rinsing is easy

for the engine block side, have a shop vac running.. pointed at the crud you want to get off
Use screwdriver or scraper to poke it loose and vac up
better to remove.. than drop or blow crud further into the line

doesnt have to be perfect

 

Got it 01...thanks!
