You should just replace it. You can spray some carb cleaner in there, but your better off just gettin a new one. Dood, I checked the link in your sig... we have the EXACT SAME CARS! That rocks man, you know how long its been since Ive seen another Gunmetal GTA like mine? Kick *** car man!

Man, yours is the only other gunmetal grey GTA I've even heard of! Did you check out the RPO code link on my website? There's were only a handfull made. I wonder how many are actually left.
Mine's having so many problems though, it isn't even funny. She needs a rebuild really bad. I'm thinking a ZZ4 swap in the spring. Fastest time to date is a 14.937 @ 94mph. She's getting a little faster, but something's making her lose a lot of power on the top end. Compression readings are a little too low.
BTW, I ordered the new EGR. I'd rather not screw with it, just replace it.

Perform a search on the terms "EGR" and "clean", and you'll get a lot of information...
