    i just bought this car a few days ago and got a realy good deal on it due to a slight knock and engine light being on. I fixed the knock (had a boost leak) and now all that needs to be fixed mechanicaly is the EGR valve. Im not two car smart but i can turn a wrench. When i scaned the code said that the EGR is stuck in open position. And the two probable causes are Failed EGR or Carbon blockage of the pintle. i swaped out 3 egr valves so ik it's not the first one. How do i clean out the carbon blockage of the pintle and what is a pintle?Code # is P1404
