Default I screwed up bad, EGR plugs fell down into EGR passages.

Any Ideas on how I can get these out. I should learn a little patience for now on.

I know there Pliers, but I thought he was referring to a magnetic Needle nose of some sort.

how did you drop the whole plug in there? the holes are kinda small and you gotta hammer them in there. or did you just get a bunch of shavings down there? if its the shavings then just get something long and skinny and get some vacciline or grease and stick it in there and pull it out until you get it all out. if all else fails you gotta remove the IM

I used a 5 lb Slide Hammer and they dropped down with ease. I did not have all the info so I thought that they were supposed to do that. When I got the info it said to hit them with a slide hammer only to loosen them and then pull them out. I am trying to pull the Intake Manifold but I can not get to all the bottom screws. I 2 on the bottom and all but one on the top.

I pulled off the part of the intake that connects to the Throttle Body and there is alot of build up in there. I am starting to think that this happpened for a reason. Now I can see why I was having misfire, and stalling problems.
