Cleaning EGR Valve

[sjtilney]

I just bought a new EGR Valve for my 95 3.4L, when I replace it should I also clean all the ports that lead up to the EGR? if so what should I use or how should I clean it? I don't think its ever been replaced or cleaned.

You should have done that, and tried cleaning your old EGR before buying a new one, to see if it would fix it. I did mine, and now it works great!

To clean all my stuff, I used Seafoam Deep Creep. Just spray in and let soak, thats it... Good luck.

I dont know where its at on the 3.4, but on the 3.8 its to the right of the throttle body.

Seafoam Deep Creep is the best stuff! You can get it at Autozone or Advance. Not a waste of money, you can use it for multiple things. I used to get the SES light everyday, have yet to come on since the cleaning.

Is it worth taking the MAF assy off the motor to really clean it with deep creep?
I am getting P0102 Low Input codes multiple times. Was getting Bank 1 O2 codes, so I changed it, and that is when the MaF code came on...
So much black soot comes out the exhaust it is weird, and the car wants to die when slowing to a stop (M-5).
