Egr Valve
Hola.. yes i tried the search feature!!
A little background.. I got this 00 expy new in 00 sold it to my bro-inlaw in 03 just flew up to NYC to get it saturday.. bro said check engine light was on ..so he took it to a shop in ny and they said it coded egr.. so the fella cleans the valve and the light goes out but comes back on in 2 days he takes it back... picks it up and light is off... kewl right!!
I take it to get state inspection today.. it coded egr again.. and check engine light does not work anymore...
QUESTIONS!!
could i try and get over by removing and cleaning all egr realted hoses, lines and hardware? I know that clogged hoses and lines will still code egr if egr is replaced and hoses are clogged or dirty..
or should my cheap *** just replace them?
I am not going to a stealersgip.. so which online source do you suggest?
Thank You!!

I had a problem with the EGR valve causing the check engine light to come on. I inspected it was pretty much clear. The problem was the tube was clogged with carbon. After several attempts to clear it, I found it was better and time saving just to replace the tube. No more codes after the tube was replaced.
