Cleaning EGR Valve/System

I have searched through the FAQ and the stickies up top and haven't found anything on cleaning the EGR.

It would help me as well as the entire .org if instructions along with pictures of cleaning the EGR system was stickied in the How-To section.

Anyone with this knowledge feel free to contribute.

Not sure if it's the same for a 99 but I'll send it. It's a pdf from the FSM and the other is a photo from F.A.S.T.
Anyone know how to take single pages out of a PDF file and put them together to make another PDF?

You need the full version of Acrobat and not reader to do that. I think.

I have acrobat. I kno how to highlite entire pages and stuff but I have no idea how to put them together and save them as a PDF. I tried it before and it just takes the entire section from the FSM instead of just the selected pages.

Big D, you can convert that doc to a jpg file. Then, upload it to your cardomain page. You don't have to actually show it on your page but you can definitely link to it. Post the link in here. Done!

I converted the .pdf file into screen captures and uploaded it onto the cardomain site. It's not very clear though.

cardomain site: http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/370046/3

MDeezy, check your email. Could you host it for the rest?

Anyone know of any good screen capture software. I want to get a better pic of the EGR from the FAST instead of that huge UNREGISTERED on it.

And Thank you again D!

Now that I know where it all is and what hooks up to what, I can begin tearing it apart and loose things!

I take it the service port is where you pour in the beer?

More sent. As for the product, nothing really. Just get something, a wire brush, to push the grime out of the tubes. Brake cleaner should also be your friend.

Big D,

I can try converting it with Photoshop 5. If you have it, all you do is open the doc in PDF, then save it as a JPEG and select the highest quality. Its better than screen capture. If you need me to convert this, just email it to me using the email button. I'll post it on my cardomain page or you can do it also.

Later.

Forget it. It's not that. I already have the PDF but the image from F.A.S.T has to be captured. I already have another program to do it. Thanks anyway.
