Or go for the possible blockage and see if that solves it ..and if not, then repost you have the CE/code 5 again ant then you can do the flow test.
I'll wait for your flow test.

My "clogged pipe" assumption is based on the "most likely" scenarios I've read in various EGR threads. If that turns out to be the problem, I'd probably prefer a tube replacement over a cleanout, since both seem to be equally tedious DIY jobs.
