Problem solved! (EGR)
January 22, 2008
Hi to you all you out there.
I have come back to give all you an update on the problem I was having and the result so far. I ordered online an EGR valve and I put it on. Note, that on mine there are two vacuum lines and one electrical connector. I would recommend that you replace those two vacuum lines as they do not come with the part.
Note: that they are not the same size braided vacuum line. I took the unit out and matched the vacuum line up to the unit at my local auto parts store that sells it by the foot, only cost a few bucks. I noticed one of my vacuum lines was not tight and that also could cause problems. I put the new unit in over two weeks ago, no problems as of yet. It was a good test as mine acted up while snowing or cold weather. It has been very cold and snowing and 400+ miles later no problem.
Next thing I will be doing as it warms up is removing the stock air box and filter. Being I don’t have emission control here in this state I’m putting in a KFM cold air system ,it’s cheaper and better flow than KN is what I have been hearing so far.
While I’m tearing that apart I want to get rid of that low idle problem that sound like the engine is missing, while idling. When this happens it also brings on more vibration when idling to low. This can be done by taking the MAP apart and cleaning it. Do a search here as you must be very careful when cleaning it. If you can’t find the link send me a note I will see if I can find it for you.
Drive safe and have fun, Redman2
