Maybe, but did you reset the ECU?

The CEL won't automatically go out right away. Takes some number of drive cycles & a bunch of specific operating conditions to occur, without any more EGR problems.

Or you can disconnect the battery to clear it...

When I clean the port I had disconnected the ground for 3 hours.. earlier I had the ECU clear for 4 hours... does the valve need to be clean too? because i didn't touch the valve on the EGR port and the plate.

Well, it IS possible the valve doesn't work. Or a wiring problem. It just seems more common for the ports to be plugged.

I never owned a '94, so not real sure of the next troubleshooting steps. Look in the DIY section for links to repair manuals. Also, I think there's a thread in DIY about the EGR system.
