EGR Valve...

EGR Valve...
I am wondering if there is a correct or incorrect method of cleaning the EGR valve... I got fault code p0400 and p0411 so I know that it is faulty but could just be clogged and stuck open or closed.. Will carb cleaner damage the components of the EGR valve?? I was thinking of using some carb cleaner and an old fashion pipe cleaner to remove the carbon build-up and also clean the lines and ports the are utilized by the EGR valve and its components.. Can I clean this without destroying it??

RE: EGR Valve...
You can't hurt the EGR valve with chemicals short of concentrated acid. Its pintleis very resistant to most anything since it handles exhaust gases which are corrosive and contaminated. Use something strong to get the baked on depsoits off of it. I also use carb or throttle body cleaner.
