Whats wrong with it? Is it stuck open or is it rusted closed like the one on my ranger was? I'd say replace it that way you know you have a new one.

I just got this truck about 3 months ago. All the emmissions stuff seems to be gunked up. I had a lot of codes in the computer, relating to EGR and TPS. I cleared them out to see what comes back first. The EGR solenoid was burned out. I'm sure that at minimum the EGR needs a carb cleaner spray out, but if they can't be cleaned that well or at all, I might need to replace the EGR

If it doesnt hold vacuum at all, replace it. If it just sticks, you can clean it out with some carb cleaner.
