I've been meaning to buy a Haynes, but havent got around to it. Searched this site too, can't find anything. Can anyone help me out? Last time it got stuck I had a shop clean it, but that was like 70 bucks. I'd like to clean it myself this time...just need to find it!

 

nevermind, bought a haynes. then a gasket, then some carb cleaner and a pipe cleaner, then, on the way home it started running fine again and the check engine light went off. haha. I'll still clean it.

 

I freqently had problems with my EGR on my 95. I pulled it a couple times to find a chunk of carbon hanging it open. (see pic) My father, who has an automotive electrical shop here in Texas, talked to a guy he knew at the local Chevy dealer. Turns out theres a new PROM you can put in the computer to help out with this problem. Supposedly, on startup it opens up the EGR valve as wide as it will go briefly to blow out any carbon stuck in it. Havent had a problem since.
