Hi there guys i wanted to update you with my results.

I remove the EGR valve and clean it from the inside it had a lot of sludge build up i took almost an entire spray can to remove all theh dirt. it wasnt that hard,i also replace the gasket even though thta the old one was in good shape.

I also removed the throttle body and clean everything form the inside relatively quick and easy. i also used a new gasket but the old one still looked fine.

when checking all the hoses i noticed several cracks between the ribs underneath the hose that goes from the air filter to the motor intake. Since i did not find a replacement available i used duct tape to try and cover them.

i proceed it to clear the error codes and voila!!! the light has not come back again and we are talking almost a month now.

Thanks for you tips. Excellent crew!!!!! keeo up the good work

That's great news. Do the small things first, because it may just fix it!
Thanx for the feedback. We all learn more with feedback (Win Win).
