My Vehicross arrived to me with CE light on. Checking the codes revealed two codes:
Random misfire and EGT flow restricted
I reset both codes and went for the inspection sticker. Bad idea... as my readiness codes were not sufficient, so I got rejected. I now have 60 days to re-inspect.
I will have to drive for a while and see if the codes come back. If EGR code is back, I will have to clean it and hopefully it will do the trick.
But after I get the sticker, I wouldn't mind disabling the EGR system because it is one of the most ill-conceived emission controls devices ever made! I guess it works OK, when it works, but it deposits carbon remnants all over the intake system, causing numerous other problems! Is there a popular way of disabling the EGR? I know many engines have a "block off plate", do we have something similar for VX?
