egr question. yes i searched

havnt been on the org in a while. busy with school and i kidna got done with my car. but those new CM red clears look interesting. anyway

check engine light came on. pulled EGR solinoid code. shop wants like 130 to replace. i think cleaning it would be fine..MPG went from about 23-24 to 20-21.. at these gas prices, its hurts..

ive searched but cant find a good diagram or picture of where the hell this thing is. if anyone knows teh right link or can take a picture of where exactly it is, it wuold be greatly appreciated. thanks alot.

Since the code is for the solenoid, I would suggest you replace the part. Have you priced a new solenoid?
