Nope next step some already in my watch list.
Check enging light came on again with the multiple cylinder misfire code as last. 10 minutes later it went off. Im guessing i need to clean that EGR now?
I dont know if this is a EGR problem, even when both my EGR bolts were loose I never had any problems with it starting. Although a dirty EGR was not the issue with mine, it was just a matter of keeping the bolts tight.
If the idle is erratic you may want to try cleaning the idle control valve(real easy to do). Sounds more like a direct fuel issue to me. But I am no expert.
Can you spin the 22m bolt on the bottom of the EGR? If not I doubt its loose and probably doesnt need tightning. Everytime mine has come loose its been sitting down on the pipe a few inches below the threads.

No its not real loose or loose at all. I just watned to tighten to make sure. I read on here somewhere if you engine sounds like diesel then its probably cuase of that nut being loose. And my engine for sure sounds diesel.
Also, where is the idle control valve?
My problems are takes a while to start but pumping the gas helps it.
Abnormal exhaust from tailpipe and car smells like gas.
Once started the RPMs bounce unless gas is pump to maintain a steady level.
Then after a few seconds the engine idels at 750rpm.
the idle control valve is located on the throttle body. I cant remember which side its on, but its got a electrical plug that goes to it. Its best cleaned by removing it first.

Here's a good idea for you...Originally Posted by JHarris1385
Download & burn the shop manual cd from Tone's site & familiarize yourself with all these thingies & doo-dads that are in resplendent profound abundance under the hood of your VX.
ORrrrr, order something from him & he'll likely as not, include one(pre-burndid) w/ your purchace!
I'm not trying to be a butt here, It would increase your learning curve of nomenclature of parts/ functions & also give you an idea of where they are located/ how they interact w/ other systems etc., etc., etc.
REALLY, I'm just trying to help.
