Instaled my blocker plate today. decided to see how much sooot in the intake.Good thing egr is not pre turbo.Any way to clean it out with out taking it all apart-:t

Tell you dealer your having problems and have them clean it out ;)

It's fairly easy to take off. 4-5 bolts Then spray it out w/ carburator cleaner. About 2 cans. Just be mindful on the driver's side there's a wiring bracket plate that goes on top of the manifold then the bolt goes thru it.

I just installed the blocker plate today also. What a horror show I had here. :banghead: First, I could not get the nuts off. I thought surely it would be easier than what everyone said. I was wrong, I ended up climbing up on the top of the engine just like others had said, and then they broke loose. Then I could not get the plate all the way in. Took me quite a while to figure out that the factory gasket was getting caught on the plate underneath and keeping it from going in all the way. I must have spent an hour prying and pushing etc. I have big hands which did not help either. Oh, I also lost one of the nuts which I never found :damnit1: I am an experienced mechanic, but it was one of those days. Anyhow, I got it done and cleared codes and so far no light. I have the finger stick but don't plan on installing unless I get a light. Thanks for letting me :rant:

cleaning the EGR will do no good, that same soot is all the way through the intake manifolds and heads as well.
