i scanned my Car for any malfunctioning parts on my engine.Auto advance told me it was the EGR valve.Replaced and rescanned.Told me it was the same part.when i told him it was just replaced he gave me a list of possible Trouble shooting idea's.i've summed it up to be a carbon build up of some sort.there is a hose on the rear end of this egr valve that leads towards the back of the engine and i am not sure of the ending.if you could assist me in some cleaning tips or some type of solution to get this ramming down the road.but it was insufficient air flow.my backyard mechanic said maybe some stp added with my gas could clear it out.if its ok give me some idea's.Thanks a ton

remove the throttle body and clean the passages
