If you have a chance can you explain or maybe post a link? Thanks again.

Oh it's cool,


The problem with the EGR was a lot of people were having PT Knock. And all of their problems went away when they disconnected the EGR compleatly. You can do this by taking the EGR off and cutting the two mounting flanges off of the metal tubing. Then you take a nickel and a penny and put the penny on the header side and the nickel on the LIM side and rebolt the mounting flanges over the penny and nickel..


If that does not wor it would seem like it would be an issue in the PCM or false knock.

Let me know if I need to explain any more.

EGR delete did not help. I have no reason to believe it is false knock. I truly think it is in the tune. That said, Im pulling out the overkill mail order tune and having a guy tune it. I will let you know what happens but it wont be for awhile as I have a bunch of things to install on the car first.

Thanks. I dont know anything about tuning but one thing I do know is that my trims are way off so I hope to get that sorted out.
