I finally have fixed my EGR problem. I figured that an EGR problem meant that the EGR valve needed to be replaced or cleaned, so i took it off last week and tried cleaning it. There was some carbon buildup in there but nothing too excessive. Last night while driving home the CEL came on again...so it was back to the drawing board. After some research i found out where the EGR ports were in the throttle body, and attempted to clean those.
this is what i found...  i could not even fit a small hex key into the port opening. The left port was completely blocked off, and the right one wasn't too much better. After cleaning and taking the carbon out of the ports, it looked alot better.  so if you get a code for the egr valve flow and cleaning your EGR valve itself doesnt do the trick...try this.

What was the code you got that signalled the problem. I got a 1195 dode after checking the check engine light and getting codes read. AutoZone said the code meant that the SCP HVCC failed to initiate whatever that means. When I called Mazda the stated it was a problem with the exhaust recirclating but they would have to search the whole system to find out what it actually was. Where exactly is the EGR valve anyway in plave I need to clean it? Any help is appreciated.

Can you take a pic of that area zoomed out a little? I'm having trouble referencing that area on the engine bay.

I had the same problem, I took the egr valve off, took the throttle body off, made a tool out of a small flat blade screwdriver and cleaned it right on the car. This was about six months ago and no more problem. I can't remember the code number, but it was EGR flow malfunction when autozone scanned it for me. Cost abou $2.50 for a can of fuel injector throttle body spray cleaner.

No inspection sticker? That's a $43 ticket here... Anyways, I've heard AutoZone reads codes for free. Is this true? because I think I need to get it done. my CEL has been on for like 3 days solid. not flashing tho.
