it lets exhaust into your intake to be re-used. if it gets stuck closed youll be fine but have trouble passing smog. if it gets stuck open youll loose a little hp up top

when its stuck upen will it make the car surge? like le tto much exhaust into the intake when u left on the gas?

you loose power by having that exhaust in there. so if it gets stuck open youd loose a bit of power

my egr was bad among other vacuum type things and the idle was going up and down pretty bad...

Just wondering, but what is the easiest thing to do to keep it closed at all times? Is there something I can unplug or something?

take the vaccum line off and block it off and block it off with a peice of sheet metal to block it off from the spacer

Hey all not to hyjack the thread but i think i may have the same problem... If the egr is stuck will it throw the check engine light??? My light is comeing on at low rpms (not idle) and when i am cruising it will come on but not stay on it will sortof blink, like fluctuate on and off.. Is this my problem, the EGR???? I need to know because i have to be smogged today..

Again sorry i did not mean to hyjack the thread in any way but really need to know if this is my problem....
