Thread: EGR valve question

Well i waited too long to fix my o2 sensor, now my EGR is bad. I saw this on RockAuto, is this right?

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS Part # EGV466TT-Series

It says is $65, which i can deal with paying. Does anyone know if it comes with a gasket?

Call rockauto. I do it all the time. They will give u a call back within 10 minutes wih an answer

You can just pull your egr off and clean it and see if it fixes your problem.

Or delete it.

^^^^^^^^^ this

Just delete that thing....

lol but those dont answer his question!

Delete the code? Its making my car run worse

No delete the egr itself.... Then you wont have any problem from it.

Turning it off in the tune means it don't open. Means you don't need a block off. Right?

Negative. The block off is the "hardware" portion if you will, and the tuning it out part is the "software" portion.

Just disconnect the connector from the thing and get a tune that deletes the code from appearing...

Will somebody just answer the damn question if it has a gasket? Lol wtf

Would the EGR be causing me some lag when i get on it? When i get a fast hard acceleration going my car just seems to stuggle to pick up. Kinda like i have an exhaust leak, but i thought maybe its the EGR, what do you guys think?

When my egr went bad it was stuck open. So I was getting too much nasty exhaust gasses at low speeds. So when I would try to accelerate slowly it would "chug" and stumble till I gave it more throttle.

Alright i'll have to open it up and clean it and see if that makes a difference

An EGR can do many things. However without the code etc, we'd be guessing at what it can do. Please post more info and we can likely help further.

For $65 I'm pretty sure it's not coming with a gasket.
