    EGR Valve

    I have about had it with it....i think its fixed an the light pops up, what is the proper way to clean a EGR Valve? Cause this is getting on my nerves...an when i first start my car in the morning's it makes a bad noise like exhaust hitting maybe a clogged cat, idk

    Anyone in the Louisiana area to come help me fix a few things? Cause there is only one galant owner in Shreveport other than i that actually care about it an he is a ass

    Thanks,
    Whit

    not sure if the EGR valve is the same between the I4 & V6 but if so when you take it apart clean out all the holes...Could have a build up of carbon and make sure the valve moves freely if it doesn't then i suggest getting a new EGR valve...Currently having the same problem
