I noticed that btw. I put the egr valve back in real quick and then pulled it out to refit in and saw that it had a little bit of carbon already on from fitting in just putting in. How rediclious. Oh well i will pull it and clean it next year. It seemed that the truck the teuck had quickier throttle response after cleaning it. But maybe i am just fooling myself into thinking that. Lol. Idk

LOL i noticed that I was cleaning mine about the time you posted this.
For me I used simple green and an AP brush worked out great. I rinsed it w/ water, blew it out w/ air and let it sit out in the heat for an hour or so before I put it back in, It was nice and shinny when I was done. Didn't solve my problem, but didn't add to it either.
I only used the simple green b/c I thought I had carb cleaner at home didn't realized I was wrong until it was out.
