EGR HELP!

My car is throwing the EGR code, since the car digital EGR control, they is a cluster of Celeniods (3) and thats what controls the pump, so something is ****ed up with that. Is it possible to clean it? I was told by a mechanic I can clean the carbon build up off with carb. cleaner? is that true? The parts guy at Hallet told me I need to replace the whole thing(trying to make a sale??) so whats the deal?

What engine do you have? Is it TPI? I have only played with the EGR on a L98. I think there is only one solenoid, mounted to the coil. There is a vacuum tube that goes from the throttle body to the solenoid and another that goes from the solenoid to the EGR valve. There is also an electrical connector on the solenoid. First things I would check are that the tubes and connector are all properly connected. I don't know much about the carbuereted or TBI ones though. Hope that helps a little.
