is there anyway to see if my egr valve is causing my car to cutout and miss without buying a new one? i have it off right now...it threw an egr trouble code on me so i just wanted to make sure before i baught one..... its for an 02GT thanks guys...

 

When you say you have it off does that mean you took it off the car or you tuned it off with it still in the car?

 

no no, i took it off to clean it....thought it wouldnt hurt, its back on now though, i dont know, the car spits and sputters when it reaches operating temp. runs fine on first startup but after about 3 minutes it starts acting silly and cutting out on me really bad, im just trying to find the problem..thanks

 

What code are you getting?

 

a few....02 sensors, Mass air sensor, an EGR code for something and it says my car is running rich, i figure thats because of my mass air and O2...but whenever my car reaches oper. temp. it spits and sputters when its under load and if im at a stop light it will spit and flutter and miss...

 

wow, okay you didn't give the specific codes but i think most of them are because of the MAF. you should try cleaning it with some electrical parts cleaner then clear the codes and see what happens
