I run out of carb cleaner so need to take it back off again to finish cleaning, but will order the fiat gasket plates and put them on after the clean. Even with the temp fix on the boost pipe and a semi clean EGR valve the car drives much better, pulls away better than it ever did in the year that i've had it, but also now my EML is on, i'm guessing it's because I took the EGR off but i never started the car while it was off shouldn't it go out or will i now have to get a tech 2 connected to clear all the faults. Maybe the EGR valve is faulty???
