you should just leave the EGR system intact. It will keep your fuel mileage up, and your cylinder temps down.

It still confuses me as to why people are so gun-ho about killing their fuel mileage,

well then maybe you should put some time into fixing it.... in the end, itll cost you less money to have it functioning properly, then if you delete it.

People think the EGR system robbs power that is why the y remove it.

In actuallity it is only open during crusing. When you are on wide open throttle it is completely closed as if it is not there at all so removing it doesnt buy you anything at all. Plus the benefits that it does give you when you are just crusing is definitelly worth keeping it intact. Like others said it lowers your cylinder temps and increases fuel economy when cruising.

Dont remove it just fix it.

Seeing this I'm starting to realize that I will have to buy new one because I can't fix it by just cleaning it ((

One tech told me that the early versions of EGR valve can't be cleaned as its diaphragm gets worse time to time and completely going bad.

One thing I want to know, do I need to buy MAF sensor altogether to completely eliminate engine bucking on low rpm's during acceleration?
