I know that there is a site out there that explains this process with pictures and a writeup. However, I have spent 15min. and can't seem to find it. Can someone please help me out finding it?

Thanks!

If i were you, i would just unplug it. Thats what i did with mine and it did wonders for the driveability of my car. SImply find the small hose that goes into the big hose coming off of the throttle body and pull it out. Use a screw or golf tee or whatever to plug up the hole. You should be good to go then. If your concerend about passing inspection, dont be, here in New jersey i passed emissions with flying colors, even with my egr disconnected. Trust me, unlplugging it is less of a hassle then cleaning it. :cool:

Wow is that really all you have to do?

I thought you had to remove the tube as well.
