I'm just looking to do some routine maintenance on the car before I hand it over to my little bro. I'm thinking about taking off the EGR valve and soaking it in carb cleaner, but I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble. It's a '95 7a with about 180k mi on it, and it's never been cleaned before. There's no CEL on though, so I'm not sure if it's even dirty to the point where it would make a difference.
Thoughts? |

I cleaned mine when the motor was out of the car. I couldn't imagine trying to take it off with the engine in the bay. Not saying it can't be done, just seems like it would be more work than its worth if everything is working fine. Mine was also a 5s, dunno what the 7a looks like...
