how did you clean a egr valve? a bad egr will cause bad gas mileage.

Considering what the EGR valve does, it would be wise to just go ahead and replace it.
As far as your gas mileage is concerned, I have an ST and I average 32 mpg with hard driving. -------------------- "He won't come out of the bathroom. He keeps telling us we're dark somethings and not his friends."
"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn." "What?" "Just do it." ".......He said yes." "Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up." ".......Sweet. Thanks." "No problem." |

lol, funny that this topic came up because my check engine light came on as well, second time in two months. The first time it was the EGR and I'm guessing it is going to be the EGR again (taking the car in today to get the code read).
AND my gas mileage has been terrible lately.  I'm maybe getting 400 km out of a full tank right now (city driving)
