Old EGR is on the left, used (but cleaned) replacement on the right.

She wasn't a happy camper. I assume that it was so bad due to the leaking fuel pressure regulator, making it run horribly. All that raw fuel pumping through the exhaust surely didn't make a clean exhaust to recirculate.

HUZZAH! No DTCs anymore! And this is after taking a 20 minute journey through town and some interstate time.

She runs a whole lot better. Now to let her cool down and change the plugs and wires, and I can start focusing on getting the steering and suspension in order.

could have cleaned it to you know.

Judging by all the nastiness inside of it, I'd need a fairly caustic solution to clean it to a degree where I feel its suitable to go back on the motor. It was almost solid carbon inside.
