Yeah, as I was saying there appears to be two of those valves, but I guess only one is the true valve. So, to clean out any possible carbon I've been told a few times that I can use a clothes hanger and a soft paper towel to scrape off the carbon, then a vaccuum to pick up any loose carbon particles left over by the scraping. Is there anything special I need to do in order to take off and clean the valve? Like unhooking the battery cables, etc? Keep in mind this is obviously the first time I've attempted to do all this.

And as for the hose on the nipple thing...is the nipple the silver pin-looking thing that is sticking out of the topside?

What kind of tools do I need, just a crecent wrench? I'm guessing so b/c I see two bolts in your pic underneath the valve. Or is it just a lid that I need to pop off and scrape out...as well as replacement of the gasket.

I know in order to get to the EGR valve that I'm going ot have to clear out some space by taking some hoses off, etc. And maybe even some wires. I dunno, I guess I'll see tomorrow when I have more of a chance to relook at the situation.
