Cleaned EGR valve
Well this morning had time to clean my EGR valve, it wasn't as bad as I've seen pictures but it had built up enough were it needed cleaning. I also cleaned the piping were the valve goes, took some time but got it as clean as possible. The only issue I had was after installing the valve back on and connecting the wires I went to start the truck and it hessitated enough that I turned it off and let it settle for a moment. When I tried again it started back up just fine. My question would be was it to clean or was there some residule carb cleaner that I used to clean the valve and pipe. With that hesitation did it hurt anything or was it just adjusting to the clean valve/pipe?

Ya it ran fine after I got it started, the only problem I really had was halfway through the cleaning it started to down pour rain, I was using a baby food jar to soak the valve, I just stuck that under the truck and covered the top while I worked and got soaked on the piping.

it aint tat critical as long as it's not swimming underwater. if ur paranoid like i am, maybe u could pull it out, and use a can of air blower and blow thru the holes. jus to make sure it's completely dry. remember to unplug ur egr valve first. then have a beer! too bad the margarita hula girls dun come wif the beer. lol.
