We had someone clean out our egr valve with brake cleaner last night. What can I do? It wants to start but its like no fuel is getting to it.

After cleaning the EGR, did you start the engine?

I started it last night and it started. But now this morning it wont. Did something clog something? And we were going to change the egr valve but, if for some reason that pipe broke on it the car would be junk so we decided against it since it is rusted. What else can I do?

You need to check if anything was not correctly installed or loose. Test for sparks and also fuel. Try some starting fluid to see if it works.

We have had some misfiring problems also would that be a cause of it not starting too? We sprayed some starting fluid and it didnt start.

If it is misfiring, then you need to check the spark plugs and related components. Ensure the sprk plugs are firing.

Youll need a scope to check your wires and plugs patterns
