Code 71

Seems like and EGR problem for my car. Anyone attempt to change the EGR or clean it? How much is for one and how much of a problem if I keep on driving it?

Code 71, EGR malfunction could be the valve itself or the vacuum modulator. I drove mine for almost 2 years before having the vacuum modulator replaced. That was $60. You can clean the valve yourself and it won't cost a dime. My CEL was not on all the time. It was intermittent.
