Engine light :(

[ajoliver2010]

What's up gp heads! About 2 weeks ago my engine light came on. Went to autozone and got the p0401 code....egr Valve. My question is can I do anything to clean it or should I just buy a new one...which is $135 btw. Thanks!!!

try cleaning the carbon out of the pintle first, if that dont work you can find them used on here for like $20.

I'm not sure what the pintle is. I heard you're not suppose to mess with a digital egr valve
