EGR Valve help

[ThaDyce17]

Hey my girlfriends coming buy tomorrow and she wants me to help her install her EGR valve in her car. Now is this hard to do because I dun wanna break her car. Not only that I just got some Condom so her in a bad mood isn't what i'm tryna add to the equation. Her car acts funny...as soon as you turn it on it'll turn itself right back off. The only way to get it going is to hold down the gas pedal, If you ever let off of the gas the car turns off. Is that the EGR vavle? A mechanic told her it was but I wanna make sure, and if everything goes great ima be laid back in a seat with her on her knees and well you know :eek:

Could be if it's stuck open. I would clean the throttle body while i was at it. They get carbon built up on the back side and you either have to clean it off or open the throttle blade a bit more.

Re: EGR Valve help

i would take the EGR back

Re: EGR Valve help

Car shutting off withour gas usually means IAC or a vacuum leak somewhere. Replace the IAC, then check the AIR hose, EGR to upper inake hose, MAP sensor plug, and brake booster hose, (comes off back of intake). Those would be prime sources for a vac leak. This is assuming you have a 3.8 btw
