Hey guys new to the forum. how yall doing today. i have 2 questions. my check engine light keeps coming on and i know it has to do with the egr. code P0404. now heres my questions, one can you clean out the egr or do you have to replace it and two i have a tube with a red interrupted line on it. but it looks like its cut. i see a vacuum like nozzle for a line to go to. is it supposed to be like that or should i replace that. im tired of seeing the check engine light on all the time. ill have pictures of the car when i get a good camera.
Little snag with my egr

I think I see what you're referring to regarding the cut, but I can't be sure. With both hands, thumbs at the cut, try to open the cut by pulling and pressing on the hose simultaneously, albeit gently. If the hose is cut, you should see it spread with little force. If not, it may turn out to be nothing more than a seam.
I see your problem now. The red hose is supposed to connect to a solenoid near the other end of the blue hose.
Furthermore, the red and blue lines are reversed at the EGR itself as the blue is supposed to go to the manifold. The red line, open as it is, and connected to the manifold is definately a large vacuum leak.
