you should see if your car has a small pipe coming out of the exhaust manifold and follow it. the egr is at the end of that pipe.Dino1956 said:

is it harmful to let the engine idle like crappy? it feels horrible
we have to reset PCM what is that and how do we set the pins sorry im pretty much new to all this
7. Reassembly is the reverse of removal. I suggest resetting the PCM while doing this, so the EGR can readjust after you start it.
8. You may want to follow the Manual's suggestion of measuring the resistance of the pins, but my car runs ten times better now, and I have no stalling issues anymore.

u dont even have to go this crazy. before u start working u should remove battery and press the brake do discharge any capacitors in the ecu. (it will also help u get your arm in there to turn the wrench) check engine light will go out within a few starts if your egr valve moves free after u reassemble.

does anyone's car chokes real bad to where it bogs down, and then jumps back up while at the same time accelerating by itself?

yes that was happening among other things when my egr valev crapped out. the rpms would not stay the same they kept dropping when engine was hot and when cold they were too high.red99pro said:

ya by buying and putting it in myself i saved like 300$ im thinking.Kansei said:
I gotta replace the battery in the P5. I might go ahead and attempt to clean all this stuff while I'm at it. Any words of wisdom? Heading out to get a state inspection now...before I f*ck anything up. Then as long as it isn't too cold out I'll get started on this...or maybe I should wait. I've got new spark plugs too. Yeah, I think I'll wait.

its not a comfortable thing to replace the egr valve so i would wait till you get check engine light and your engine idles like s*** before doing anything to it.chuyler1 said:

gas milage is lower in winter anyway. they add ethanol to gas in winter plus u are running more accessories like lights and heat in winter. i wouldnt touch it. also check your airfilter. it gets clogged in winter from the salt on the ground and sand they spread. my egr went at 50200 miles approx. after my warranty was over. so it sucked that i had to fix it myself.chuyler1 said:

did u gap the plugs correctly? i cant remember what the gap supposed to be but the plugs are not usually gapped from the store. i got platinums in my car last summer and i had to gap them.chuyler1 said:
