RE: EGR help

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?

RE: EGR help

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...

RE: EGR help

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
