yes you can try cleaning it first before replacing it. be sure to clean the passage to the EGR valve as well though. to clean the EGR valve , be sure to use carbon cleaner. Carbon cleaners can be purchased at auto stores. Just turn the valve upside down on a stable surface and fill it up with cleaner. Let it soak in the cleaner for at least 8 hours. Then, use a wire brush to remove any visible deposits left on the EGR valve. After soaking in the cleaner, any deposits should brush right off.
