Are you cleaning it (and the intake passages) off the car? I typically use a pick. Maybe some carb cleaner at the end if I'm bored. :shrug:

SEARCH the archives. You really don't want to use any solvent type cleaners on an EGR valve with a pilot (positive- or negative-backpressure types) or you may be buying a replacement instead.
