The Ford service manual recommends EGR valve cleaner and to follow manufacturer's instructions (I presume that means cleaner rather than EGR mfr).
Where can I buy EGR valve cleaner? Walmart? Auto parts store?
Can I use the same cleaner when cleaning the hole in the upper intake manifold that the EGR connects to?
Can I also use the same cleaner to clean the EGR orifice tube that connects from the EGR valve to the exhaust manifold?
If I can't find EGR valve cleaner, can I use something else?
Sorry for all of the questions, but I have never cleaned an engine part. I am not sure if there is one general cleaner (kerosene?) that can be used for all engine parts, or if each part of the engine needs its own specific cleaning product.
