    Check Engine Diagnosis on my 94

    So, I took my 1994 Vic to the Ford garage for a diagnosis on my check engine light. It comes back that the throttle body needs to be cleaned and the EGR tube is clogged with carbon. They told me they could have it done in about 2 hours and it would cost me around $160, I declined. I am wondering how the fuck they know the throttle body needs to be cleaned? I dont think there is a trouble code for that lol. Also the throttle is not "sticky" and it responds great, I dont think it needs to be cleaned. I am thinking about just pulling the EGR tube and cleaning it with carb cleaner then unhooking the battery and seeing if that clears the light. Opinions?

    usually its the EGR channels that are clogged. See here for how to fix that:
