[SPAZZ]

it is too much of a PITA to do it by email try Tone's website www.Tonemonday.com I believe you can still download it there. If you can not get with me and I'll do it by direct connect thru the messenger.

How dangerous is this really. IM sure i need to do this to my VX but now not sure if I want to take the risk. I am experiencing rough starts and bouncing rpms and 1/2 the gas mileage out of my last three tanks of gas right about 10mpg now. And I am not expeirenced at mechanical work only oil changes thus far. Please help














easy

2 bolts. be carfeul with they easily stril or cross thread

plug the larger hole which I think is the hole on the left if I remember corrrectly.

Then start er up and spray brakes part cleaner down the other hole and make DAMN SURE that large hole is plugged good or you could blow yourself or your VX up or your surroundings up or VERY LARGE flames shoot out the hole catch the rag on fire and could blow something up like your VX, you or your surroundings

SERIOUS, no kidding around and neither is cleaning your EGR. So, pack the hole tight and BBQ or um spray away and replace that pvc when your done too.

Can someone who knows how post a how-to for cleaning the EGR?

I have never done it, so dont know how- it looks like a previous post here pretty much covers it, but if someone did up a good one, that would be great to have in there.

Any takers?

I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned... 3-4 differnent times... never worked for me. I bought a new one for ~250 and no more light.. everything is fixed. I know it's kind of high, but I got tired of the light and the fact that I never really knew anymore if there were other problems going on since the light was always on. There is a how to on the site somewhere.

I just want to fix the hault to start (I mean seriously when parked at a gas station and people are looking at your VX the last thing I want is have to turn the key over for about 10 seconds). Im sure when this is cured the LOW mpg would be too. 10mpg isnt cutting it after having near 20 a couple weeks ago. I did power wash the under the hood, something could be loose but I still dont know where to look or what the parts under the hood are called. Thanks for anything

Yeah I had the same thing happen for over a whole year, same check engine code and everything, tried cleaning it didn't help, but just like Driver3, as soon as I had a new EGR put in problem was immediately solved check engine has never come back on and it gets much better gas milage now.
