ya, change your EGR valve, they get clogged up with soot and like to stop working, no amount of  "fuel injection" cleaning will help this problem.....

by all means check your electrical connectors and hoses first, but be prepared for a stuck EGR valve.

in the past i have tried to take them out and clean them, but didn't have much luck.....

Thanks Sir Lance for your Input........took it back in to my Opa's shop....ran over to the auto wrecker and bought a replacement one for $45 Canadian.......

WOULD ANY OF YOU BELIEVE   they wanted......from the factory brand new...$531 dollars Canadian for an EGR Valve.....I nearly had a heart attack...I plan on taking the old one cleaning it up overkill clean then keeping her on the shelf

replaced with junkyard one no problem..nothing siezed and all is well again
(pictures of old one....$531 for this poorly engineered simple valve lol what a laugh it was one of 2 things that is rusted in my engine compartment.........BAD suzuki BADDD
