    Yeah sorry, short attention span.

    If he pulled off the EGR valve and cooler, and thoroughly cleaned both, then that's that. I'm sure he would have done the pipe as well, it has to be removed, and cleaning it is trivial. Did he take any pictures, probably not? Did he say anything, what it's condition was, how the cleaning went? Maybe fish a little... :whistle:

    He did say there was some build up but not to the extreme. What was the most crucial part was the spark plugs, he said those definitely needed to be changed and at the same time he did a compression check for each cylinder. With that being changed the misfire went away and car drive really good.
