Default Safe To Use?

befor i suck it up and buy a new EGR controll Solenoid i want to try and clean out 120k of dust and vaccum waste.......

Cleaning products? needs to be in a pressure can.....

i was thinking Throttle body cleaner but im not sure how sensitive the inside of this thing is. Will that hurt it. I blew compressed air threw it and lots of white powder was comming out for a while. I think its clogged bad.

Any other ideas if the TB cleaner is to harsh?

thanks

are you getting an egr code? if your car is obd1 then you can just block off the egr with a plate and leave it connected and it wont throw a code, assuming it isnt now...

ive always passed mine, even if they do a visual by u it will pass, keep it all hooked up.

im about to try and pass on my fully built, no emissions eqip at all. its tuned good, and im going to put just the cat on for the test, see what happens...
