What is a "plastic tie wrap" and how do you "shove it up the passage"?

If you are getting the low flow code, then you must be almost totally blocked. Have you taken off the throttle plate and looked? (Unless of course, the EGR isn't opening properly.)
I haven't taken off the TB yet, since I wanted to have the right tools before I took it off.

Also, I replaced the EGR valve (with a brand new one), so it should be working fine.
