    Hello all,
    I Just wanted to make quick updates.
    Cleaning intake manifold and EGR pipe solved my issue.
    Note: there are 4 holes inside of the intake manifold, you must clean that.

    Thank you for everyone gave a direction to me. My car runs better now my MPG goes up to 40.

    Thank again.

    40 mpg is not great, our 2011 gets 50 mpg.

    Did you stop at the EGR tube? The EGR cooler and EGR valve might be fouled up as well.
