My 95 had major PCM and driveablility issues. Lots of codes. I don't own a scan tool for this OBD1.5 so a shop had to fix it. Before they finally determined the PCM was bad, we were discussing the codes and EGR kept coming up. Anyway, after the new PCM was put in, and now the car actually runs again, it threw the SES light about a day later. The same shop checked the codes for me again and said it was EGR and I probably didn't need to worry about it on a car this old with this many miles. The car runs pretty good but I randomly get the SES light.

My question: is there something that can be done to work on, clean, check, etc. the EGR on a 95 SSEi ? I don't think you can clean them. All the manifold tubing is in great shape. I really don't want to buy a new one, I heard they were expensive.
Should I even care about it?

Thoughts and advice would be appreciated.

Not an EGR expert, but yes, you should fix it. And yes, you can clean it yourself. You may have to buy a new gasket to put it back together, but often the pintle (valve) only needs to be cleaned of carbon to restore function. A junkyard replacement is another option if after cleaning, yours still does not work.

Carb cleaner and a small wire brush works pretty good for cleaning the EGR.

I thought the later EGR'* were digital or something and couldn't be cleaned like the early ones.????? Maybe I'm confused.

I just had mine cleaned, simple as can be. Take off, carb cleaner + wire brush (as stated before) then put back on. (might need new gasket, of course, but that'* cheap)

I have a 95 SLE, series II N/A, your EGR can clean up just like that also if I'm not mistaken...

You got that backwards. EGR'* up through 1993 were Digital, and are very easy to clean. They almost never fail, and just need cleaning every couple years or so as they age.

Your Linear EGR (94 and newer) is a completely different type, and doesn't respond to cleaning as well as a digital valve. This shouldn't stop you from trying though. EGR'* don't come cheap.

So Wren, just as a question, kind of on topic I think it'* still appropriate here...

What type of EGR is in my 95 SLE?
What type of EGR is in his 95 SSEI?

So linear and digital are cleaned the same way --- it'* just the linear are not very responsive to cleaning......it doesn't usually correct their behavior.???
Do I have it right?
