I was just cleaning my intake manifold when I noticed these EGR port holes in the same place. Now I have cleaned the EGR ports in the recent past but I never knew anything about cleaning these passages which go from the EGR system itself into the intake manifold. It pretty much defeats the purpose of cleaning the ports if you don't clean these passages too to make sure they're free to do their jobs. So I took a hangar and poked at it, then I took this pic,
To clean them best as possible and make sure they worked, I soaked them with carb cleaner first and then purple power by filling up EGR valve opening. I let it soak for 5 or 10 minutes. I did this several times and then used a water from a hose to clean it out. I made sure that I got a strong flow of water from all of the EGR openings. I did this until the cleaner stopped being black which told me it was finally clean.
Just make sure that you get a strong flow of water out of the holes. That means the system can work very proficiently now.
It was fun, you might be surprised at how much cleaner you can get it by doing this.
After 300,000 miles, mine was naaasty.
