Picking up gasket today. If this don't work what else could it be? Rough idle is at about 700-750 rpm
As mentioned previously, I like to remove the throttle body, to make it easier to access. From there, do it by feel. Feel around for the two bolts holding it in place, then remove.reviving an old thread cuz i have my intake off cuz im removing the VTCS and port n polishing the intake but i left the lower plenum installed and cant figure out how to get to the 2 bolts that hold the egr in place.... i can pull up on the plenum a lil bit n touch the bolts but cant fit anything in there to get it off plus its freezing outside right now lol whats the secret? i dont wanna try to take the plenum out cuz that dam egr pipe nut is a b**** to get to
the canadian egr valve versions are supposedly "better" than us versions
Yeha I've heard that too. And if I need one, I'll pick up the Cdn version. Cheaper too, at my parts store. But what I want to know is: do I need to replace my EGR valve? Or is it operating normally?
My car started idling rough today and also started lurching on the freeway. Looks like people are suggesting that it's either the EGR valve or the air intake -- I've already got an air intake hose on the way since mine is definitely cracked -- but I'm thinking I'll clean the EGR valve while I'm at it.
Does anyone know where to buy the gasket by itself? I'm thinking that I might as well replace it if I'm fiddling with the EGR valve. Would be a nice idea to have it on hand just in case I bork it while doing the maintenance.
