digital EGR

ok, you all probably know that 90-92 v6's came with a digital EGR valve. is anyone familiar with this part?? i need to know if it is possible to remove it and clean the 3 valves. i am still having deceleration problems but i've gotten no codes and i checked all 3 solenoids with a scanner and everything is working properly.....so i've narrowed it down to carbon build-up on one, two, or all three valves and it's not letting them fully close. anybody????????? TomP???????

you can remove it and clean it with gas and a little brush like for pipes or guns, after that you might need a new gasket.
But I'm not sure if it will fix your accel. problem.

hmmm, engineboy gave me this part number(2-1357) for a digital EGR on a 4.3 so i'm gonna check that out first and see if it's the same. oh, by the way, as soon as i posted this, my problem seems to have cleared up (knock on wood). unfreikin believable
