OK, i just read this whole thread, and then proceeded to read much of the stuff on the http://isuzufaq.ibctech.ca/#faq1 page about cleaning the EGR and oil consumption.

So, that read, I am thinking of doing a full EGR cleaning and possibly trying this Sea Foam idea. I want to rid my VX of the oil burning issue, and hopefully get a little better mpg at the same time. I am also thinking I should put in a new fuel filter also.

Can anyone tell me about this Sea Foam idea? Is it a bad idea? I want to make sure my baby is squeaky clean and not burning oil. Its getting old. But I don't want to do anything harmful.

Also, regarding the EGR cleaning. Its confusing because the directions say to REMOVE the EGR and then plug the big hole and start the VX. This makes no sense. How/why do you remove it, plug it, and then start the VX while it is off? Am I missing something? Or am I to remove the EGR, clean it separately, and while its off, plug the holes where it was attached to and clean this part? I'm just a little confused there.

Also, I am not getting a CEL light, and don't want one. This is why I have not done anything yet. So I am on the fence between leaving well enough alone and going balls out to try to solve my oil consumption problem and hopefully make my VX healthier, and less gas/oil hungry.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Bart
