That would make sense to me. Maybe buy a new EGR valve and clean the tube.

take it off, clean it out real good, careful not to rip the diaphram. also clean out where it goes into the intake. who said it "wont pass due to a dirty egr valve"?

You answered your question before you even asked it...

You wanna be a little more clear on what you need? What failed? By how much? Who diagnosed the EGR?

we had to give a best guess. it was "well, he cant be talking about anything else but this"and still, did your car fail for something, or did some jdm e-thug tell you it would. oh ya, you answerd your own question buy the way

Is it easy to get to the EGR? Do I have to remove alot of stuff?Taking apart the EGR, is that easy, was it meant to be taken apart and cleaned?

A smog tech told me that my car failed smog, because of a cloged dirty EGR Valve.

well you could put everything back together and get your car started to normal temps. and once you have done all of that, if you can try to reach under your egr you should be able to push up under the egr valve and your car should change idle and if it does then your egr valve is final another thing you should do before you put your egr valve back is to check the hole where the egr valve and the intake manifold connects and make sure there is nothing clogged up inside.

another thing, when the smog guy said it was because of your egr valve was your check engine light on

Lets us know that you are an ***hole and probably not worth helping. U did answer your own question, and if you wanted further info we would need more. Now, get off you little high horse there and clean the damn thing and/or f**k off. No need for that kind of response towards someone that is trying to help you out. Jerkoff.

you nead to simmer down now, get a message or play withyourself to relieve some stress, your choice. in the meantime, the egrs kinda a pain to get to. no, you dont take it a part, just reach in it with pics and stuff to clean it. we asked about who said it cuz, well, when you get a smog they give you a lil paper that says why you failed with some pretty numbers on it. if its a test only they cant legaly tell you what you need to do. now, posts like what you have above says that whatever anyone asks for in order to help you,you dont care. also that your actually tryin to be this big burly bada$$, ON AN INTERNET FORUM! ps- NOTHING ANYONE POSTED ABOVE WAS TOO MEAN, BEING AN A$$, OR RUDE

Well douchebag, that was the question we wanted answered. But you had to be a f-in dikwad and snap at me, then answer it a few posts later after all.You're the retard that asked if cleaning the EGR will make it pass Smog after the Smog tech told you to clean the EGR to make it pass smog. Can you see the idiocracy of your question? Without ANY other info (like emmisions levels) we can't tell you if that will work or even part of your problem.

Man I love it when niave little teenagers think they know everything! Especially when almost every thread you started is asking for help. Maybe you should just put down the wrenches and let somebody with more than a couple of brain cells work on the car.I'm sure myself and every one else in this thread will be more than happy to screw with every thread you create from here on out because of your poor attitude and lack of intelligence. Go buy a facking service manual and a clue and learn how to work on your pile of shat since you are way too cool for our help.

Happy motoring

This whole thread made me laugh. You might want to listen to the smog tech like everyone is saying, I think he might have an idea as to what he is talking about.

WTF.... *sigh*Cali-noob-guy, please be less of a douchebag in the future. The interwebz is serious bizness. You come to a car geek forum where people actually work on cars, ask a question containing its own answer, then get butthurt when people point out your noobosity.

Try fixing it yourself or you'll never learn your car. Don't know what or where the EGR valve is? SEARCH. Download a service manual maybe. It'll be good times.
