Ok, not that any one cares, but I figured out it wasnt the egr valve. As I just bought the book, I was looking through it at the pics, not havign the vacum peace to test if the egr is good or not, i was looking at the pics. It showed poping off the top of the vacum sensor or somthing for the egr system, an a lil filter .. I poped that off an xcheck the filter an it was dirty an coated in black, So i cleaned that out, Also the biggist thing i think, was the tube going form the egr vacum sensor to the egr valve was riped or toar what ever you prefer... But after doing that, then properly re-setting it, It was cleared an been running good with no problems... thanks for the help guys.

I got the haynes, The main reason I got it, is because it works for both mine and my moms car.. an $15 bucks has already seemed to make it worth it, ya know.. but the thing i really dont like about it, Is its not really direct, Like it shows taking apart like the 4th-5th gen not the 6th, but for me it works cause I only need an idea of what there talking about. but for some-one thats still learning, it might be hard.. and somtimes on the break aprts describing part os the eninge or such, It skips over the 7a-fe .. witch sucks even more for me.. but You can still figure it out. |

Ok well this really sucks.. I was at my buddies yesterday building a shed, as I was leaving I backed out of his driveway, witch has a very nice steap drivway with a nice bump at the bottom, And I pretty made bottom out an skid on it, but then I looked as I got into the road my check engine ligfht just came back on. So Im guessing the comp figured out the egr is still bad, or i just messed somting up. Tomorrow Im goign to check the code again, But I have a feeling its the egr.. SO, who ever replaced theres, where did you get it an how much. Thanks alot.
