2006 Grand Caravan 3.8L 6cyl. was sputtering when the gas was pressed, start vibrating. Turned out to be a p404 egr valve. Replaced it. But the car is still not 100%. idles fine but when the gas is pressed in gear it stalls a bit then goes. Doesn't have the power it used to and accelartion is very poor.

Yes clean it. Clean the holes in the intake also. A stiff wire in the intake will break anything loose. what you break loose will not hurt your engine. First just unplug the wire connector and plug it in. clear the codes. Some times it's just a bad connection.
