That would be the Exhaust Gas Recirculation Valve. It's on the rear cylinder head on the driver's side. The most common cause of failure is when it gets stuck (Haynes P1-27). With the engine cold, push up on the diaphragm. If it's very hard to move, it needs replacing.

I dont know if it can be cleaned or not...... Its best to replace it...... Its usually not too expensive, and you can replace it yourself
