EGR valve how do you clean a egr valve with carb cleaner on a 97 chrysler sebring?

what are the codes?

P0401 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected. Remove EGR valve and check for blockage in the passages of the exhaust and intake. If those are clean, replace the EGR valve. EGR valve failure is very common on Chrylsers.

Are you sure you have EGR flow?? Hold the EGR valve open the engine should run poorly, if not you have no flow.

It should just unbolt. The problem is those tend to get frozen to the exhaust manifold, especially the higher mileage ones. Once you get it of, let it set in carb cleaner for awhile. If you have a flexable wire gun stock type brush, this will help aid you in this. You might even try a local machine shop for the carb solvent if you do not have any.

those are known for having bad egr valves. but first clean the throttle body. it makes a big difference if its dirty

check ur egr valve circuit the wiring and connections for damage or loose if good check and test egr valve possible carbon build up clean with carb cleaner to free valve or egr has gone bad and needs replacement

Remove EGR with carb. cleaner spray plunger, with screw driver work plunger in and out ( shoulb be spring ) till it goes in and out freely, make sure gasket is good.

Replace the EGR valve.

most of the time .the egr valve ports get stop up with carbon. you remove the egr valve . take a small screw driver or piece of coat hanger . see where you remove egr valve.clean carbon built up in hole. in the intake use shop vacuum to clean up before you remove the egr valve you have to remove the transducer first. dont disconnect the electrical connector. because you might have pcm problems.

It could be that your EGR port is stopped up with exhaust (soot). There is usually no adjustment on an EGR valve. I would remove the EGR valve and check the port. If it is clogged up I would use carb cleaner to clean the EGR port.

Good luck
