Isn't the little passageway to the EGR what tends to plug up on these cars? We did an intake cleaning on a couple NB's this spring. And it had a long skinny valley that we had to clean out. Let me see if I can find a picture!
There are a couple of pictures of the intake here ->http://www.dfwmiata.com/index.php?op...ry&catid=2
Found this on MSN AutosWe know how to clean the passages! Who's car is it??Quote:
An occasional problem on this vehicle is failure of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve Passages. Failure of the EGR Valve Passages can cause the check engine light to illuminate. The cost to repair the EGR Valve Passages is estimated at $30 for parts and $195.00 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.
It belongs to a friend here at work... she's having the work done at a local shop... I'm trying to make sure she's not getting the business, if you know what I mean.
Which local shop?
A local shop is all I can say for now... but from the fact that I did this you should be able to infer of whom I write.Quote:

Unfortunetly for her, she went their at the request of her SO. However, she did ask me about shops after the fact and told her to be wary... but, the work/damage had already been done. Now, she's still having a CEL.
I don't know what the going price is but here is a step by step description with pictures. It includes a small comment about Cell code number. The author said he had seen prices from $75 to $700
Maybe she should come visit me and let me read the code...
Maybe I'll try to take the car from her and bring to where ever you may be at...
