Thanks.
In addition, I found
<http://www.type2.com/library/fuel/egr.htm>
And it carries the suggestion of replacing the charcoal canister at 30000
mile intervals. I agree that 30000 intervals is over doing it, it seems to
me that so long as there is at least a bit of air movement through it it
would naturally dry itself out.
