I chickened out on the metal tube leading to the exhaust pressure sensor, I know how to do it, cut the tube off, heat it up, use a ratchet and a socket to spin it out. BUT if that doesn't work, then on a Saturday I'm stuck. I'll leave it and let a shop do it when there is time. Then if it doesn't work it's their problem. I need to go to work on Monday.

The EGR differential tomorrow, and look for the delta P.

Thanks for the heads up on future repairs Waterloo

That metal tube can break easily when removing it if it has been there a long time. An alternative to removing it is to remove the exhaust BP sensor (keeping it plugged in after you remove it) and spray a bit of brake cleaner into the hole where it mounts. Crank the engine up and watch for the brake cleaner to spray back out. If it does, the tube is not clogged.
