first off there are only 2 ways i know of......

#1 Remove the intake from the motor and soak over night in parts cleaner, use a wire brush that's flexible with a long handle. You may need to use some throttle body cleaner for extra heavy deposit carbons.

#2 Take off the EGR Valve, Get a wire coat hanger, bend it out straight (no hooks) and get a buttload of throttle body cleaner. Spray the cleaner heavily into the EGR Port, and start ramming that coat hanger down in there. It'll have to snake into other ports and so on so be patient. BTW You'll get alot of white smoke when it's all said and done, but it does an o.k. job of fixing the problem.
