I took the EGR off today too see what I could see. It didn’t look very dirty but I sprayed it out anyways.
A second code came up today, p0106. Which is apparently an issue with the MAP sensor, and I read that the EGR and MAP on my car are one unit.
I also tried putting vacuum to point 6 to see if I could see that rod inside moving (can’t get to the diagram itself, cuz it’s a solid sealed unit) and I really don’t think it’s moving even when the vacuum it’s holding at 20+ inches.
Time to replace the EGR?
