Hey all, my little brother has a 95 V6 camaro and he's having trouble. I'll try to include as much info as possible here, sorry if it makes for a long read but I moderate another message board and I hate it when people don't provide enough info.

A while back, the car through a Service Engine Soon light. They took it to a dealership, who told them there was something wrong with the EGR system. They wanted $100 or so to fix it, but my stepfather decided to just take it to a friend's shop. That shop cleaned out the EGR valve and the light went away. Well, a while later, it came back. They did the same thing and just had the shop clean out the valve... but the light didn't go away this time.

The light usually comes on shortly after the car has been running for a while, after a few quick accelerations and stops. It doesn't go away until the car is turned off. That's about all I know.

Now, any suggestions? The car has about 144K miles on it, so I'm not sure if an engine cleaner might help. I've heard sea foam can work nicely, but I think I've also heard some horror stories... is it any good?

All ideas are appreciated. Thanks again.

 

sometimes you can clean the EGR and it works again....... but sometimes you have no luck and the inwards are get broken.....
specifically if you use aggressiv solvent to clean the EGR.....

I think after 144k on the odo you "can" buy a new one
