symptoms of bad EGR
what are some symptoms of a bad EGR Valve...
i have posted threads asking about a problem my car has been having and somone said it sounds like a bad EGR
somone offered to custom make me a block plate for the EGR,

RE: symptoms of bad EGR
The main symptom, I was driving, Its lost power and died, or I lost power and when I hit the gas no power then stall.
Puttering when you hit the gas
Get the plate and EGR simulator off ebay. Dont get ripped for some cheap resistors and a piece of $.90 cost material

RE: symptoms of bad EGR
just take the egr off and see if the pintle is seated..if egr is present at idle...idle will be rough and or stall depending on how far the valve is open...you can use a vaccum gauge to test it to...by slowly applying vaccum to valve and when it starts to open the car will roun rough at idle and or stall it out once valve reaches full open

If you don't need emissions, you really don't "need" EGR. It just reduces NOX emissions caused from high exhaust temps.
