Need to pass inspection Help with 2000 camry CEL.



The car is a 2000 camry 4 cyl.
Check engine light code says bad egr. 401 I believe.
I replaced the egr and the light never went off.
Tried cleaning the Tube that runs from exaust manifold to egr with B12.
The car has 245,000 miles on it btw.

I need to get the light off to pass inspection.

Im about to try and clean it again this time with a coathanger and b12.
After i scrape the metal tube will it hurt anything to start the car
with the egr off for about 5 seconds?

any help would be greatly appreciated.
