Randomly found this video, going to do this on my 03 Explorer today, but I gotta say, this guy reminds me of the "Bob Ross" of mechanics, surprised he didn't say "Happy little wrench" or something. 😃
I replaced the EGR Valve (and gasket of course), but didn't know that the EGR Valve ports (passages) should be cleaned, so I need to do it now. The car idles high on start. Did you disconnect the battery to do this work? Thank you for the very informative film, especially that part what brushes to use to clean ports and what to spray inside. Can it be any Carb Cleaner? I have CRC Throttle Body & Air-Intake Cleaner, WD-40 Carb/Throttle Body & parts Cleaner, and and Gumout Carb/Choke & parts Cleaner (on Gumout is says: "not recommended for fuel injected vehicles"). Not sure which one to use. The car is 2001 Saturn SL2, it has fuel injectors of course. But if you have Carburator it is not fuel injected vehicle (I believe those mostly motorcycles, aircrafts, and some diesel cars).
Why not pull the entire pipe that runs from the egr to the manifold? It’s easier to clean that pipe like that. It also leaves you in a position to put anti-seize so that thing will always come off easily. I always remove as many components as I can to clean them.
Great video, My 89bpontiac firebird ASM test results were high at 15 mph and at 25 mph and fail smog, do you think doing that may help passing the smog?
Good content, but Its such a PIA to get off, just replace it. Its like $80. $80 might be a lot for some peeps, but new cars are like $35k and more.... Its nothing to spend an afternoon and $80 on a part to avoid having to buy a new car.

sorry but you dint even clean the inside of the egr valve or show if its moving free inside
Just stumbled up your channel and subbed. Your like. The Bob Ross of mechanics. Best teacher ever! 🍎🍏🍎🍏💯💯💯💯
You likely just saved me a trip to my mechanic, and quite a few $$$! Thanks!
Always easy when things are new...
I have idling problem, and EGR valve is rusted in place, guessing that and my IAC are related since these are OEM and the car is over 20 years old.
It's like watching Bob Ross
Did you pre loosen the first bolt??? Lol mine took 3 men!
Thank you so much for your time and help,
Best explained calm and detailed video on the tube,
Thank you aga8n

Do you have a video to show how to replace an EGR on a 1988 460 efi 7.5 L ?
Thank you!
Nice video 👍
Video is great.. great teaching. But the volume is horrible. Had a very hard time hearing you.
I bought a new egr, but can not turn big bolts ,
Fender cover lol...the only thing I don't have
What about snaping the bolt off of the egr valve
You can use a vacuum to... SUCK the dirt out...

iNFORMATIVE BUT i SEE MORE Of the front of the car than staying with closeup shots of what you're working on. Camera work sucks.
