Canadian EGR valve exposed

bringing this thread back since it still is a common issue.

Has anyone actually had a p0300 random misfire and bought this canadian egr valve and has had that solve the misfire code? I have cleaned my egr and IAC, replaced plugs, coil packs and intake. Still am gettin misifre. I am going to buy egr but want to see if anyone has had it actually solve their misfire code, p0300. Thanks
Just to answer this question, cleaning the EGR valve will fix the code and fix idle issues. The same problem resurfaced about a year later. I replaced it with a new USDM EGR valve (the new ones have a metal shield around the valve opening area). That also fixed the code and idle issues.
 
It's so weird, it actually didn't solve my issue, I guess for maybe a week it did. But I don't think it was the root cause. Now I'm moving on to replacing fuel filter in tank and fuel sock. Possibly thinking about ordering ngk wires and replacing my autozone wires.
