In the past 2 months my car has lost alot of top end power, and its pinging hard ect. i finally took it to the shop, and the guy said i had a clogged EGR. told me it was gonna run me about $450-$500. Thats going to put a huge dent in my future mods. but i have a few questions about that.
#1 what exactly is a EGR
#2 does this price sound resonable
#3 is there anyway i could clean it wit maybe some carb cleaner or something.(wit very little knowledge)
#4 how much would a new one cost
sorry for the long post but i had to talk to you guys before i through my money for gears and headers out the window.

2) No, way too high
3) Usualy you can clean it by removing it and using a carb cleaner soaked rag or cotton swabs then putting it back on with a new gasket
4) New one...check www.rockauto.com or your local auto parts store.
On a side note you could have a shop do a quick vacuum test on it once it's off the car to make sure it's okay. THey hook up a vacuum pump to the nipple and hand pump a vacuum to see if it will hold suction.
