    Yet another rough idle - 2002 P5

    Old thread, but check your neutral safety switch. I had the same problem after adjusting my clutch. Forgot to plug the damn thing back in. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

    EGR blockage?

    The EGR valve is mounted on the intake, just below the throttle body. There is a pipe coming from the exhaust to the intake which feeds directly to the EGR valve. The two holes you see are inlet and outlet, as the point of the EGR is to control the recirculation of exhaust gas into the intake...

    EGR blockage?

    Once you remove the EGR valve, there are 4 screws on the top to remove. Be careful​, they seem to be made of very soft metal. I've​ had to notch several of them... Anyway once you get those removed there is a piston to push on, if that moves pretty much at all, go ahead and clean it. If not go...

    EGR blockage?

    Well a the leaking tank aside, all of your problems seem to be fuel related, and I do not know the order or timeframe of the issues. You can get the Canadian EGR online, but I honestly do not see any real benefits from using that as opposed to the stock model. The EGR control solenoid is the...

    EGR blockage?

    I should also add that with all of these emissions systems failing, it seems to me you should be looking for the root of the problem before taking any other steps to alleviate the symptoms. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

    EGR blockage?

It should only take a moment after pulling it to be able to make the call if cleaning is the right path. Sent from...

    Head gasket leaking oil?

    Do your self a favor, don't use any sort of stop leak. This is after about an hour's worth of scrubbing with a wire brush. Idiot I bout it from said the motor was blown. Nope needed a head gasket... Best $350 I ever spent. Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk

    02 Protege with Rough/Dying Idle and P0302 + P0171 Codes

    I'm sure the car is either gone by now, or been fixed. However I just did my head gasket, valve stem seals, timing belt, water pump, and after assembly ended with the same problem. Ensure that the intake manifold gasket has been installed properly and creates a tight seal. That fixed my problem...
